People don't change, they just get more so...

Turn the radio up, GUEST, or in the words of Mr. Clifford, the ol' farmer down the road, when I ask him about pests here on our farm: "Give 'um the gun..."

But seriously, you can't win this one... Confrontation, either direct or indirect, will make things worse for you but I have had some success with folks who constantly complain about the stuff that happens to them that at least gets them to think by sayin', "Man, it must really suck to be you..."

Good luck...
