People who mess you about

[username5768]

How do you deal with people who muck you about and then mock you for looking annoyed, (in cases where cutting them out of your life is not an option for now)?

Don't make any arrangements with them if you can help it. That way they can't mess you about. Just say you're busy over and over. Politely of course.

Sure. But inevitable sometimes.
Looking for some witty (not too offensive) things a confident person would say.

Why is it inevitable that you spend time with them? I wouldn't spend a minute with someone who did that! Annoyed me on purpose and then mock me for being annoyed? No ta.
