Words you won't hear from me

I'm just playing Devil's advocate.

You mean your intentionally being contrary and positively a total pain in the ***. When I hear these words come from people it drives me insane. You mean your being difficult and are keenly aware of it too? From time to time I've heard people use this expression. It has almost always been true that the person is also someone I don't like. I mean really, for heaven's sake. Either own that you disagree with my point of view and argue your case. But arguing for the sake of arguing, who has time for that.
