(nods) Boy, am I familiar with this one.
That said, I have found that saying the actual explanation with all of the nonverbal signals of the false-but-satisfying condemnation is startlingly satisfying for me. My closer friends have learned to accept it as a legitimate move in our conversations; most of them respond to my explanation and ignore my bodyparl.
It puzzles third parties, though.
So a haughty back-turn combined with "I had a bad day and I'm taking it out on you" is satisfying? Hmm, I'll have to try that.
Yup. Dunno if it works for anyone else, but it delights me that it works for me.
