I know this is from several pages back, but I have to say, you're a badass stopdog. I deal with cantankerous, aggressive, potentially violent dudes every once in a while at my job, and while I usually handle it all effectively, as soon as I'm back somewhere safe, I get the shakes and second guess my own behavior for days afterwards.
So, high fives.

Oh, and ftr, women are supposed to be nice to men, but nasty to other women.  |
This drives me B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Yeah, all the laydeez need to be catty to each other and compete for men's attention. GTFO.
