As Pema Chodron says, do something different than all the other times. Habitual patterns are like ruts in the earth: easy. Predictable. And limiting. So:

Annoyance occurs!

Don’t react. Make yourself like a piece of wood, as the Buddhists say.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Smile. Shrug.

Humor destroys enemies by making them your friend:
