When people annoy me with their constant complaining or their non stop arguing, or even worse, their illogical demands: "For the last time, you can't buy ***** with food stamps."  Or, "There is no way a crow took the rent money out of your hands and flew off with it." What I do is close my eyes and pretend they're squirrels chattering in squirrel language.   Then they don't bother me so much. I just want to reach out and pet them, or give them a handful of nuts. It's not hard; half of them look like squirrels anyway.
