One thing I've learned about critics? Most people tend to let things slide the first time they notice it. So if someone is peeved enough to actually say something to you ... it usually means it's something you've done before or annoyed other people with, and you need to consider if it is a problem in how you present yourself. The other possibility, of course, is that some people are just mean, but I agree it's better not to kneejerk to that conclusion.
