My mother and aunt are tag-team irritating me today. It is always so obvious when they've been talking to each other about me, because each one, encouraged by the other's agreement, resolves to say something to me about it... and they each end up presenting me, mere hours apart, with talking points so identical they could be a Daily Show parody, as if this random thing had just occurred to them.
They are not subtle. And I want to be extremely un-subtle right back at them. But I don't, I just grit my teeth and say, "Oh, how interesting."
