"Don't get your knickers in a twist"
"Keep your hair on"
"Rein it in a bit"
"Take a pill"
"You should spend more on your drugs, those cheap ones aren't working"
"Try de-caff next time"
"No need to bash my door down"

"Try your head, it seems to be harder than your fists"
"Okay, okay! I'm not deaf,  only slow"
"I heard you the first time. Every other time, too, come to think of it"
"Where's the fire?"
