[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that they keep trying to recruit you. These women always HATE me and I don't know why.
I volunteered at an event being run by one of these. At the end I approached her and said "Kitchens all clean. You did a great job organizing the craft fair" and she replied "Thank you SO much. Compliments from YOU are what make it all worthwhile" as her minions giggled. I spent the next week wracking my brain trying to think of how I might have offended her.  [/quote]
I think I know. By complimenting her, you suggested that you're in a position to evaluate her efforts (big no no). In an ultra-competitive person's worldview, that's a subtle way of suggesting you're her equal (bigger no no) or even elevating yourself above her (biggest no no). Also, calling attention to the fact that you cleaned the kitchen might have been perceived as a way of trying to seize glory for yourself when you should've been admiring [i]her [/i]for all that she did.

I'm the PP with mommy issues and my mom was like this. The only way to get on the good side of person like this is to talk to them the way you would a Very Important Person. Speak when spoken to, smile a lot, and let them steer the conversation. Tiring, I know.[/quote]
