When you have a bad day...

There are days that anything you say will be misinterpreted and met with negative comments.   

There are days when anything you do will be considered a threat.  Then again, you have the choice to succumb to the negativity or to consider it as a learning opportunity.

A friend gave me solid advice:  

Don't take it personally. It's human nature. People generally don't want to be told what they should or shouldn't do. The recipient might have interpreted your suggestion as you thinking that they haven't thought of that, or they are not doing their jobs right. This quality is more the rule than the exception though.

Nevertheless, there are proper ways to communicate.  We need to promote non-violent communication, because we do 't really know what the other person is going through.
