You just leave the clippers out... When he beefs about, turn around, look him in the eye and say, "You feel better now? Ask me if leaving them out bothered me? Pffftttttt. Obviously not, huh? Hahahahahahaha!"
I had a business partner for 15 years. He was the biggest scorekeeper I ever met. Used to make me laugh. He never understood the friendship I had with my best friend...
