So I work in a lab and also do a lot of field work. This means that once a month a couple people from the lab and I go to Kansas and sample streams in the area. Well this one girl is giving me some problems. I am a smoker and she isn't but I don't see what the big deal is if I want to stop for 5 minutes (during a 9 hour car ride) to smoke a cigarette. Even if we're already stopped for food or gas or whatever, she refuses to wait the extra 5 minutes to let me have my damn cigarette. Also, a girl that came with us this time doesn't like mexican food. Now I like it but if she doesn't I would eat somewhere else but this same girl that wont let me smoke also has a huge problem with not eating mexican food and tries to talk everyone into it even though that's what we eat every single time she goes. And the entire time she wont listen to anything but classic rock. Don't get me wrong, I like classic rock....but not for 9 straight hours here and 9 straight hours back. If I take control of the radio and put it on something she doesn't like she just flat out changes it. So I just brought my iPod and listened to my music the whole time but then she gets upset because I'm not talking etc....

She is so freaking controlling and refuses to try new things no matter what. I have to work with her for almost another year on this project. I might go nuts.
