Cluelessness?

[Brakeman]

I inherited the cluelessness gene from my father. He had no idea when other people thought he was being and ass and he would often incense people. I have learned that I as well don't really get it when I say things that piss people off unintentionally.

I have 3 people at work that obviously would love to see me die in a fire, but I don't even know why they are angry. One may be simply angry that I constantly bring defects from his department to him, but that's simply my job, he should understand that. The other two.. I dunno..I'm normally so sweet..

How would I approach my dilemma? Ignore it? Professionally they can't touch me so I have the option of just ignoring it, but the cold shoulders are soo obvious. I doubt they would ever be happy at the sight of me as I am required to audit and effect process changes inside their department. I'm not their boss, but I get to tell them what to do and they can't tell me shit so the relationship is one sided. I think that is the main thing that bugs them, but in my old age I'm getting soft and don't want to work in a nest of enemies.
