I know all the types everyone here has mentioned. Most annoying to me,probably because I don't actually "know" them are the cyber/drama queens. They find a forum and it's always SOMETHING! Nothing that adds to the community, like real issues related to the forum or the actual topic but things like "Please pray for my runnaway son". Turns out the kid was 24 and it was on a music related forum! It's called "moving out" lady!!
And the lovely "I'm done" types that feel the need to announce their leaving. It's not like you have to deal with these people in your job or family! If you aren't having fun on an online forum for goodness sake...don't let the door hit you on the way out! Dramatic farewells are merely a cry for attention.
There are also the "calamity jane's" of the world. I work with someone who I believe has true issues but I can't help feel that somehow they are self induced on some level. I've set many appointments thru the years with her and KNOW there will be something DRAMATIC that happens. She showed up once with her face scratched beyond belief...her CHICKEN attacked her. Next time it was with a collar. Her horse kicked her. Next time she was wearing a turban because she'd had an allergic reaction to something and lost her hair. I swear there have been three dozen things in the three years I've known her and I can't IMAGINE anyone with that much bad luck. I think she subliminally uses this for attention.
All these are very draining for sure. I guess in the end I should sympathize with the cry for attention. But my instinct is to RUN!
