I have reached the end of my rope with an acquaintance of mine.
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 01:04 AM by Sannum
She is literally the most passive aggressive, condescending human being on the planet. I can't stand her. She sends me "reminder" e-mails, and she expects everyone to drop everything so she can be the center of attention. If you do anything...from correcting her facts to replying to her messages in what she calls a "tone", she will just disappear for a few days, leaving my friends just so worried about her. Honestly, those times are so wonderful for me. So quiet with no bitchy e-mails or IM's. Maybe I need to just be honest and call her a Vile Wench so I never hear from her again.

I don't even know why she has latched on to me. We have mutual friends, but honestly, she knows I can't stand her and that makes her even more convinced to make my life even more annoying.

Last week, she claimed that I was more "heavy" since the last time she had seen me. I am 110 pounds and 5 foot 3. I wear a size 4. In fact, I have lost weight and weigh about 5 pounds less than I did last month. She ain't exactly Kate Moss herself.

Maybe I should move...:eyes:

5. One time I recieved a message....
"I don't mean to be Superficial Suzy, but....". My reaction would be "and when haven't you been you stupid yak".

God...one day I am gonna smack her down. It is coming...

The saying I was fat was actually entertaining. It is like she had to criticize something about me.

2. Have you considered pouring sugar into her gas tank?
And slashing her tires?

4. Pingpong ball in gas tank works better
The car starts and runs for a little while, until the ball is sucked into the output valve, then sputters and stalls. Then the ball is released, starting the cycle all over again!

If I were not in such a shitty frame of mind, her bullshit would be entertaining. It was at one time.

3. With friends like this, who needs enemys?
Sorry for the cliche, but life is really too short. Damn I did it again.

6. God she sounds exactly like someone I know..
"...and she expects everyone to drop everything so she can be the center of attention."

You just described a friend of mine's sister to perfection. Sad to know there's more of these psychos out there (let's hope your friend isn't reproducing her bad genes, like mine is) :eyes:

11. she has kids...
I feel sorry for them.

Oh! She sort of crashed a dinner party we were having during the whole Tom/Katie thing...of course, her reaction was how much she LOVED them and how much in LOVE they were. She knows someone she went to school with. The conversation ended when I said. "You do know that he is a completly flaming closeted homosexual who is deeply involved in a fucked up cult". Oooh...That pissed her off. I ruined her sense of delusion with that comment. She went away for about a week. How peaceful that was...:P

12. Well, you know...I would NOT move...those people are everywhere!
You are letting her invade your life...and if you don't like her then you need to get her out of your life...

Stop enabling her......Have some peace and quiet all the time!

LIfe is too short, IMHO, to put up with people like her...

:popcorn: :hide:

15. Treat her like a hot potato
and drop her sorry ass.

If you don't like passive agressive, tell it to her straight.

Something along the lines of, 'I value having people in my life who enhance it, not make it more difficult. Until you can act like an adult and be a true friend, there really is no place for you in my universe.'

Or something like that. Good luck!

16. I second this
Life is too short. From what you describe, she is not a 'friend', she is an attention whore who makes herself feel good by putting others down, or making them feel guilty. Do yourself a favor and let her out of your life.
