I completely agree with that. It's the ones who ignore my actions that annoy me. It's basically passive-aggressive; instead of saying what's one their mind, like "hey, you're being rude. It might just be you're having a bad day but you need to chill out," they say, "you must be using again."

The funny thing (I actually get a laugh out of this, I find it hilarious) is when I did dope I'd get crazy polite, just oozing friendliness, p&q's. So if they think I'm actually high, they've clearly never seen me high and it just proves to me that they don't know what they're talking about, and reinforces the idea that they have something they're mad about and don't want to tell me what it is.
