Ha. I had this exact reaction today with a repair tech who was bullshitting me and playing the passive cuck. Like a victim mentality Eeyore. It took a lot of self control......

The one that never fails to boil my blood is ignoring the difficult question and babbling out a smokescreen, instead. It's as pathetically obvious as a cat trying to bury his shit in a linoleum floor.

I understand that from salespeople or even sales engineers. Papering over product faults and painting the nicest picture is what they're programmed to do. But hands-on techs/admins/devs and even managers pull it nowadays.

Interrupting and politely but firmly saying, "What I asked was. . . " is received like a physical assault.

Reacting as if I am giving the third degree opens the door for me to start.
