Irritated in kind.

Do not, and I mean do NOT ask me to listen to you spout off about some volatile issue you're having, let me present my take on it in the most honest balanced way I know how (and make me late for work in the process), thank me for my advice, and then go to x person over here whining about how I jumped down your throat/attacked you.

Shoulder to cry on privileges are hereby revoked until further notice.
