UNGH. Those people are the most irritating people. I mean, they mean no harm but they just assume things and they never notice that their 'kind comments' and 'good will' are actually kind of patronizing and insulting. Which should technically make the comments seem LESS patronizing and insulting, but somehow just magnifies the effect.
At least, that is what my experiences with those who watch the Ghost Whisperer and Desperate Housewives has been ;)
