The A recently went on a mini rant/diatribe all worked up about various issues. But then after some casual questions comes some truth. I've heard them lie about expenses trying to drum up sympathy for a loan/handout from a senior family member. When I heard with them I thought that's not what he said previously. So with the senior not around anymore and them in the middle of a rant out comes the truth again. The number was much lower almost bragging how cheap they got it for. But this is just another example of how the truth seems to come out when they're in the middle of a rant or foul mood(again). It also shows how he tries to drum up sympathy-make his situation seem more dire than it is, create an emergency sense of urgency so you must act on emotion/without thinking.

It's not just about facts and figures but how they really feel or attitude towards a person or subject as well.

That being said that means one still has to deal with those same tantrums, diatribes, lectures, moods etc. But I guess it another way to look at and use to one's advantage.
