You know how people sometimes insist on telling you something, because they just have to?

You know how people sometimes insist on telling you something, because they just have to? Something you're not interested in, has no impact on you, and you just don't care about? Sometimes, it's something somebody else told them, that they have made no effort to verify, whatsoever, and gee, what could possibly be the reason for the person to have told them anyway?

And now they are all worked up, and we should all feel righteous indignation, and you are trying to walk away from them and they keep following you? So you quietly try to offer some reasonable, rational points for their consideration, if only to dial down the agitation they are broadcasting. Like, the kind that would upset any animals in the vicinity, it's being broadcast so strongly. But they aren't really interested, because Righteous Indignation!

And they finally stop and you run away and try to disperse the agitation they've been projecting at you by talking about it on g+? Their behavior is symptomatic of (some) people who are under pressure and having anxiety issues. Knowing this does not help. This is my mom. Insert head shaking and walking away here.
