       Re: "You Shouldn't make Jokes Like That" - Especially 
       if They Aren't Jokes

       Whenever a now-ex-friend would visit me she would change my bath
       tissue so that it hung next to the wall instead of outward. It
       was too small a thing to get excited about and I would just
       always switch it back when she left, but it was a red flag I
       didn't heed. Midway into our friendship she started showing me
       how to do things that I had been doing ever since I was, well,
       an independent adult, as if she felt she was my teacher, and my
       (silent) irritation grew. When her husband started doing the
       same thing to me I realized that was the way these people
       related to the world and that it made them feel superior to
       others including me. It was hard to break off the friendship
       because I really liked her otherwise, but I couldn't stand the
       idea of them looking down their noses at me "teaching" me
       things.
