Imagine laughing hysterically at anything they say, and then patting them on the head in a patronizing way while saying, "You're so cute when you're angry."??
I'd share with you some other ideas, but I'm afraid my near-elevation on Scale 4 (a psychology assessment joke about having anger) would show through and maybe scare you.
But I'd be happy to unleash the screaming banshee for you.
Sorry you are experiencing this.

One thing you could do is tell them that their behavior (if it is towards you) bothers you and you would like them to stop. And if they don't, stop hanging out with them.

If I *must* be around someone that really annoys me (and sometimes I just must!), than I just try to limit my time around/near them as much as possible.
Try your best to not *think* or concetrate on how annoyed you are by them when you are around them, it only makes it worse.
I wonder if there are people out there that feel this way about me. ROFL I wouldn't doubt it.
