+1. I need to sleep more and work out more and skipping out on both of these is making me a more neurotic person. I am doing a normal amount of things but it's making me crazy.

OMG we had one who constantly talked about how she needed sick time for her surgery, lots of recovery time, etc.

Turned out she was getting Lasik.

He does quite down when I ask him, but he keeps starting up again, which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't hate getting out of bed at 1am.

Also, who the hell carries while getting drunk!?

And who the hell rides a bike while drunk and carrying?

Start answering all her questions via email and CC your boss. And if you want to be evil--start verbally telling her the wrong way of doing things...

People like this are the worst . Hate to sound like a Trumpster but if you don't like it here and have the financial means to move and constantly bitch, gtfo. I say this as an Asian Democratic immigrant who is well aware of the issues we have here but come on.

A friend who simply cannot see that a former mutual friend is a narcissistic user with borderline tendencies and it has affected so many people. What hold does she have on you and how can you condone this? It’s blatantly obvious to everyone who encounters her..

This is illegal in pretty much every state


Probably legal on his own property.

If it were illegal in every state to be in possession of a firearm while drinking, you would have the lock up the entire population of Alaska and half the population of Wisconsin.

I was on the verge of writing DH and DS (both have HfA). Then I realized it’s probably that I’m just stressed out and that most of the things that annoy me aren’t easily controlled by them. My stress will pass and until then, I’ll fake it till I make it re: pretending they’re not the most annoying people to me right now.
