Feuds

Wow. What a crazy neighbor, Jake.

1) Are there feuds in your life? (In all seriousness, let's nobody refer to any squabbles between posters.

)
2) Are there celebrity feuds you "follow?"
3) What would somebody have to do to you to draw you into an ongoing feud?

1) I've had only two or three, personally. It's not something I generally do, though I've never been above resenting some chick I didn't really know from some class who acted snobby and superior. I tend to be petty, but I usually keep it to myself and if I ever get to the person, I wind up dropping the resentments in most cases because there is a lot more to people than the negative things we sometimes see. I guess you could say I had feuds of some sort when I was in elementary and middle school. Well, I'm not sure what to call them, really. There were some people I knew all through school who bullied me all the way through. I was "weird" and "queer." Some of my peers always targeted me for that. It didn't end until I went off to college, and even so, when I was a sophomore I lived in a suite sharing a bathroom with seven other girls and one day they took it upon to write "lesbian" all over my door. I haven't had anything like that happen since sophomore year.

Okay, that answer was too long.

2) No, but I did watch some celebrity feud show on VH-1 one time.
3) If someone attacked (verbally or otherwise) my best friend or one of my family members that might do it. Also perceived prejudiced comments do the trick, depending on the situation.

I'm sorry you dealt with that kind of harassment from neighbors. I hope your college was supportive of you if you filed anything.
I had a dream not long ago that I went to leave for work & somebody had painted swastikas on my door. I think it was triggered by many reports of neo-Nazi activity in Houston in that last year.

Thank you, Jake.

Actually, the resident assistant who was supposed to be disciplining the girls was laughing at me along with them.

It was a bitch but there are much worse things to endure than some idiots who are perpetually in high school laughing at you. I think the family situations (some that have been mentioned on here and others) are far more important, so I try to put things in perspective even though that's contradictory to my drama queen nature.

An RA does have superiors.
