So anyway, I'm doing a project. Some of you may have had the privilege of seeing my Dealing With Drama presentation at CTcon. The project is semi-related. Here's the thing; the more examples I have to work with, the better this project is going to be.
I know you have all been party or witness to crazy drama at some point, either on the internets or IRL. Just to be clear, by drama, I don't mean classical theater. I mean unnecessary strife caused by people being stupid or miscommunicating. I want to know about your drama. Tell me of the things you have experienced! Friend of a friend stories are totally fine too.

Other drama I would have to change names and such since they deal with old issues that have been resolved but would be kinda bitchy to bring up again on a public forum :-p
I vaguely remember the details, but I do remember everyone's names.
Now my friend has basically been cast out of the majority of our crew, except for me and like 4 other guys.
In case it is unclear, I am just giving them shit.
Craziness all around.
After a while, several of these otaku boys developed feelings for this girl and started acting out against each other in jealousy. They would try to joke about each other, but say some pretty mean spiteful things, or try outdo one another with doing nice things for this girl. I really don't know if the girl was oblivious to the fact she was giving these somewhat socially-inept-never-had-a-relationship otaku boys the mixed signal or she was just being genuine. The owner of the anime store and another of the older wiser otaku boys had a talking with her and confronted her about her being overly affectionate with the guys.
I saw her after the confrontation and she was crying. I asked what was wrong and she told me what happened. I then told her that I could see both points of view, but at the same time the otaku boys shouldn't have been dumb and assumed that affection means being romantic.
After that, things were pretty awkward for a while to where it eventually led to the girl not hanging out with us as much.
Don't know if this is the perfect story, but with all the talk of anime drama stories, this popped up in my head.
Every time there's some drama talk with friends, I gotta slip into the accent. Anyway, all kinds of drama or any special type?
A common catalyst of drama I see with people and had myself in my younger days, was the lack of confidence to be single. So the person forces themselves into relationships that are usually unhealthy, just so they wont be dateless. Because dateless is spelled l-o-s-e-r or u-g-l-y.
Example time!: A cousin of mine keeps going into messy marriages and divorces because of her lack of strength to be a single mom and the constant man chasing keeps her away from home. Which leaves my older teen cousin to do things to my younger girl cousin.
Another example involving myself is staying with someone who kept pushing their desires to make me into the perfect subservient wife. While, I, not having the strength to give them up despite the problems, looked love and acceptance elsewhere. All which culminated into the punishment.
One of my girlfriend's roommate started disliking me, along with a mutual friend of my girlfriend and that roommate, and that friend's boyfriend, whereas previously the five of us were pretty good friends. This led to them also disliking my girlfriend and causing the dramas. However, we only saw the second half. We didn't know that they were specifically upset with me and our relationship until recently. Much drama has come out of this
Recently, there was a time where the roommate thought she wasn't allowed in the room, even though the secret symbol on the whiteboard outside the door was the one that means we can't come to the door so just come on in. She got upset and called her mom, and her mom called the CEC about inappropriate behavior in the dorms, and my girlfriend's RA had to talk to her. The roommate seemed surprised her mom called, and told my girlfriend's other roommate (who we are friends with) that:
1. She felt me and my girlfriend disliked HER (Which has gradually become true, because she is quite the bitch)
2. One time when we were hanging out in the aforementioned mutual friend's boyfriend's room, we spent the whole time making out (We didn't, my girlfriend was reading the mutual friend's book of fairy tales and I played Rock Band 3). This apparently was when they stopped liking us.
So, things seem a bit more sorted out now, but we still dislike her, because even though she's been a bit less difficult, she still tends to be totally selfish bitch.
