Two years ago I lent a friend of mine my brand new Vivitar film camera that my uncle had just given me. She was taking a photo 1 class and needed it more than I did (because I had a digital slr to use for my own work).
That summer we had a falling out. I went off to college in a different state. Never got my camera back from her.
I come back for the summer this summer and we become friends again. I ask her for my camera back so I can document a real northern fall up north on film. She forgets constantly.
A few days ago I see a status online from her stating that she's taking another photo 1 class in college. I ask her for my camera back, /again/. She tells me she refuses to give it back to me because she 'needs it for a class and is not going to withdraw'.
If she had come to me, first, and said, "Hey, I'm thinking about taking this class and the requirement is to have a film camera, can I borrow it until December?" I wouldn't have had such a big problem as I did with her just signing up for it and expecting that I would allow her to continue to use it even though it's not her property.

Yeah, a few times probably, but one instance comes to mind.
I directed a play in High School. I know, this sounds petty already, but stick with me. Anyhow, a friend of mine was "helping". She was supposed to do set direction, while I worked with the actors, but she consistently skipped rehearsals saying she was "tired" or "had a lot of homework". Anyhow, I managed without her, until a few days before the play went on, whereupon she decided to show up for once, chewed me out because I had "taken her job", threw a fit because the prop directions were lacking, and insisted I apologize to her for "disrespecting" her.
After the show was over, at our graduation ceremony, someone was given a special award for directing the play. Guess who it was. I'll give you a hint, it WASN'T the person who'd stayed late every night herding a bunch of hyper high schoolers into a decent production, who'd invested time, energy and patience into crafting a good show. Nope, it had to be her.
Ef that.

You could say that.
I've been involved with many girls that already had a boyfriend. All of them pretty much constantly complained over how they didn't like him anymore etc etc. Time goes on, yet they never dump the boyfriend, so I get fed up with being the second guy and confront them about it. Always got the same answer; "But I feel safe with him...".
Dumped them quickly.
The worst one was a girl who I had an affair with for a long time. Her boyfriend lived halfway across the country and she was going to move to him eventually. Of course, as usual, she complained about how she didn't want to move while I comforted her and tried to convince her not to. When the ineviteble confrontation occured she said she was going to move to him after all, so I broke it up(which was pretty damn hard since I really loved this girl).
Perhaps a month later I hear from my sister that the girl had broken up with the boyfriend and now lives at one of my friends home. Oh, and she's pregnant.
Heart forever broken.

Y'know, I've seen that posted around the Escapist quite a bit, and I want to believe it, I really do.AdeptaSororitas said:
I've been through the crapper (emotionally) for about half my life, and the problem is that none of it can be blamed on anyone. Back when I was a fifteen year old squit, I was a psychotic (read: medical definition), and yet I was blessed with a normal, pretty and charismatic girlfriend. January, everything's hunky dory, March, I get caught in a fight at her funeral and afterwards I'm a fucking wreck because her sister (the only member of her family who didn't hate me) refused, despite my begging her, to blame me for her death. It took me more than eight years to stop blaming myself for it. Why? Partially because of my second girlfriend, partially because I had just burned myself out, and partially because I had found a new thing to blame myself for.
You find me a solitary husk, not a man.
