Dear Sugar,
I've been dating a great guy for five years now, but often I am annoyed by his sarcastic, hostile, and almost snobbish attitude. Sometimes it just seems like he can't be nice or get along with anyone — he's even mean to his friends. I love him very much, and he says that he loves me, too, but I'm not sure I can handle this anymore.

Having a lousy morning? Join the club. But I've found a remedy for those of us with a case of the Mondays.

I sometimes have a hard time differentiating sarcasm from brash dialog. Since delivery is essential when it comes to sarcasm, one has to be convincing when purposely stating the opposite of what they mean. Sure, there's a time and a place for sarcasm, but then there are those people with those dry sense of humors that don't know when to draw the line.

I always thought buttons were an old lady fad. Either that, or they were strictly reserved for those stylish blue vests worn at Wal-Mart. I was wrong.

I would so ace this class.
