Ahhh, one of favorite sayings and I know several in my life. I just ignore them or make a joke. These people are up-tight generally because of things in their past or they have personal problems. They generally are good people. I surround myself with up-lifting friends, but keep those that have a lot of person problems on another level. I don't want to give up my anal rentative friends because I simply can just pull out the popcorn and let them entertain me. Sometimes just letting them talk eases things up. You could even talk to them about it, but from past experience you aren't going to change them.
