I didn't want to hijack MM's thread. I thought this could be a fun thread, put your drama llama stories here!
One of the women at work will tell anyone that stands still long enough about her daughter's softball woes. Her daughter is in Jr. high and plays on what I gather is a club team, it is not affiliated with the school. Last weekend, co-worker (H) was at her son's ball game and was complaining to her sister that daughter is not getting much playing time. Her daughter was not able to make one of the games, and the coach texted H that he really needed her there to play. H swears all she said was she thought it was funny that all of a sudden he needs daughter when she's barely played all season.
Later that day, H gets a text from the coach telling her he heard her bad mouthing him and her daughter was no longer on the team. He also told other parents that daughter was no longer on the team because H was bad mouthing him.
H is livid. She wants to get a lawyer and sue the coach for slander and make sure he never coaches again.
did coach go about this correctly? Not in my opinion. But holy overreaction batman!
Had a dad buy a plot of land so he could put a field on it for the team to play on. When it rained and the field flooded he hired a helicopter to hover over it and the water flew away. Not really drama, but interesting.
Had a parent accuse DH of being a pervert because the parent showed up to practice and a few of the girls were in their sports bras (by choice!). Said parent took it to the school board (who laughed, but still!)
DH has been accused of stealing money (he had no access to any money), was accused of changing grades (he didn't have any way to do that either) he had a fist fight break out at the banquet over who earned a varsity letter (the parents fought)...there are so many stories...

We think the school should have a reality show. There are so many kids here who go pro, it would be very interesting, people would love it.
And there is always something going on with the kids. Last year we had a Chinese kid thrown out for having a wolf's head in a garbage bag under his bed. Apparently the teeth are very valuable in China so he ordered a head from a taxidermist in Washington and had it mailed to him. He was working on pulling the teeth out with a knife from the dining hall. Eventually the smell got to the boys in the dorm and when the dorm parents went to look - they found the head. His official reason for leaving was "cultural differences"

We have a set of twins with a very famous father. While the kids were students, the dad started dating his wife's sister, this ultimately led to their divorce (shocking I know), and then dad married his kids' aunt. The twins became their own step-cousins and their dad is now also their uncle. Prom was a bit awkward.
AND - this all was playing out in the media at the time. So that was cool.

I once had an employee who developed a crush on my husband. She met him when I took the whole staff out to dinner for the holiday. She decided she hated me and so she slashed all my tires (another employee saw her do it), then she stole from the register and called the hotline on me and told them I was sleeping with the staff.
Once, the store caught on fire on my shift.
I had a customer who was just released from prison and went nuts in the store. He threatened to shoot everyone in the store and was walking up to customers and threatening to shoot them. The cops came and drove him away.
I had a young girl run out of the fitting room half naked. Her mom came out and we started looking for the girl. She was 10 years old and was autistic. We ran a Code Adam and couldn't find her. We had to call the police. They ended up finding her 2 miles away walking down the highway. She was in someone's front yard for awhile and they called the cops who eventually tracked her down on the highway.

OMG that is HORRIBLE! Those kinds of things can take a life of their own and ruin the lives of innocent people!

LOL! Well, that is kind of cute actually. Why would he get thrown out for that though?

Ok, I gotta ask. If the head was from a taxidermist, why did it start to smell? People have those things in their houses for years with no problem. I should know, deer heads are the go-to decor around here

Good point! Not a very good taxidermist if that is the case!
However, when I was in college, we had an Anatomy and Physiology Lab. My roommate decided to "borrow" the cat we were going to dissect so we could practice. And, since it was preserved in formaldehyde, it did smell! lol.

I'm My Own Grandpa Lyrics
Song Audio
"I'm My Own Grandpa" was written by Dwight Latham;moe Jaffe.
Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life For now my daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife And to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad For if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother Of the widow's grownup daughter, who was of course my step-mother
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild 'Cause now I have become the strangest 'case you ever saw As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny, I know but it really is so I'm my own grandpa

FNW, I don't think I'd want to eat from a buffet just after 7 germy little grubs went through!
Aside from the usual batch of crazy customers, we have a few community facebook groups that are just tons of drama llama joy.
The usual drama
Who is
Speeding
Littering
Road Raging
Texting
This is followed by pictures of license plates snapped and posted to "shame" people, and the subsequent head nodders and gun enthusiasts who recommend shooting out a tire.
What kind of
Snake
Crawling Bug
Flying Bug
Lizard
is this?
This is followed by three women who profess how scared they are of whatever it is, 6 people to tell them to grow up, 10 people who tell them that it's harmless and leave it along, and the gun enthusiasts who recommend shooting it.
Which fast food place messed up an order (includes a picture, of course)
Followed by those who have their own horror story, a link to a you tube video showing c0ckroaches running around with employees pointing and laughing, several phone numbers to call to report it, and the gun enthusiasts who recommend shooting the drive up menu board.
Recently, it's more than a couple of younger women who start gofundme accounts soliciting funds to hire a lawyer to get sole custody of their adorable child from their horrible, abusive, suicidal, ex.
Cue the people who drip sympathy, those who post contact info for the local abuse shelter, more than a few who skeptically quip "Hey, he was good enough for you to knock boots", and the gun enthusiasts who recommend...well, you get it.
Then the general nosiness of
There are police cars in the neighborhood of ***, does anyone know what's going on, the comments on which businesses are closing (followed by those mourning it, and those who have every suggestions about what they think should open in its place)
Every so often, you get the disgruntled worker who claims they haven't been paid (of course, they are the under the table ones), and the subsequent denial, and then the accusations of drunkeness and drug abuse.
I am pretty much numb to all the drama llamas here...
Drama. Something that has become almost nonexistent now that I spend 90% of my time at home.

The head had not been "cured". It was raw. Cheaper I suppose to buy it fresh. And I think he got thrown out because DIY taxidermy-dental work probably falls under the regs for what you can and cannot do in your dorm room. Lol

It was at CiCi's Pizza...my kids begged to go, don't judge.
Anyway, this was the first time I've been to one. You walk in, pay, and grab a tray and go through the buffet. It was particularly crowded, and there was a line. So we waited, waited. Got a salad, and I was balancing two other plates on the tray, boys were holding the cups because I couldn't juggle everything. Waited my turn, it was a slow go. Approached the pizza, she stopped me, and told her herd of kids to get in front of me. Trying to remain calm and set a good example for the boys, I gave her "the look." She thanked me for letting them all in, and I said, "I don't believe I had a choice." She proceeded to tell me she was doing me a favor. "oh, a favor by cutting in line and making me wait every longer to get my food?" One of her children asked her why they cutted in line and she told him that she had 50 and I only had one. I said, "so that gives you the right to line jump? And I have three." She said, "by yourself? Do you need help?" I said, "yes, for starters, you can stop teaching your children that it's okay to line jump then pretend you're doing everyone a favor by cutting in."
She got away from me real quick and I never saw her again.
Wow. That is ballsy. And in what world does it make sense for the person with 50 to go in front of the person with one(in her words). It would have made more sense for her to let one person in front of her since she had so many.
don't stop!
