Those that love Drama and everyone else...
No, I'm not going to talk politics... don't EVEN go there!
I'm going to talk about people I've known, I'd love to hear other PERSONAL stories about people you've known... or are you one of them?
So, honestly, the first one I ever met was my brother's ex. I kid you not, she did her best to isolate him from the family, but failed to make us really leave him. All she managed to do was make us all not like her. Not that making me not want to be around my brother was a big hardship for me... he'd done that already, but she still managed to make me not like her...
However, when Dad died, oh my! she was in her element, taking care of things, answering the phone, screening calls, just being all around, our best friend ever.
Happily, he divorced her finally and we pretty much never have to see her again.
I ran into one at work too, if she didn't have a crisis, she'd make one. She cancelled her wedding 5 times for goodness sake! Then, just before she could cancel it again, she was involved in a major car wreck.
Now, part of her games was to pick on me, so, when we had to pack everything up to get new furniture in the office, I was asked to pack her stuff up because she was still out from the wreck. I very carefully packed her stuff for her. Labeled it for her. I knew that if I had done less she'd've complained, vigorously, to our supervisor. As it was, she had to come and thank me for packing her stuff so well. In fact, she never really unpacked it, at least not in our office, because she couldn't come back to work from the injuries she received. I was glad to see her go, I guess the car wreck finally gave her some real drama to deal with.
So... do you know anyone like these folks? I'm sure I could think of more, but I do my best to avoid them...

I know some people like that as well. My own cousin likes to take charge, has this "I know better" attitude about her. It used to infuriate me but now I see it for what it is. She doesn't mean to be this way, so I forgive her for it for the most part.
I do not like the drama seekers. I try to steer clear of them as much as I possibly can. Especially in the work environment, please just let me to my own devices.
