Ever have to deal with someone who tries to compete with you,
Edited on Fri May-11-07 08:58 PM by LaraMN
the thought of whom makes your stomach clench up and your blood pressure rise.
OMG!
Augghhhh!
The "someone" in my life is unavoidable, but lives out of state. I have to hang out with her next week, and I'm already stressed out just thinking about it.
:banghead:

1. Surrender now!
Takes the stress out of your life and the fun out of hers. Be subtle about it, but don't play.

We need a zen smilie. :hug:

2. It's so hard when she's surrounded by a bunch of enablers
who just egg on her idiocy. And then I have to hear about it for fucking weeks.

Deep breaths....it's not my problem....deep breaths....

3. The best advice you'll ever get from Crazy Uncle Redstone: When someone is itching to have a fight
(or a competition) with you, the thing they hate the WORST is when you refuse to give them one. And not tell them that's what you're doing. Just ignore the bait, and they'll cut it out eventually.

5. I hate dealing with overly competitive people too.
Made my college days less than they could've been. But with you Lara,there's no contest. You're aces in my book. Compete with you? In her dreams!

6. Aw, thanks!
It's completely stupid shit. She was pregnant at the same time as me, and always had to be "more tired," or "more uncomfortable," that kind of crap.
It gets reeeal old.
