People that, when they get ticked off, wrap their arms up real tight around their body, rock back and forth, and grunt, roll their eyes, and look out the window when you say something to them.

People that storm around the house screaming "N----- F---!" at the top of their lungs when they're pissed - even when the windows are open.

People that get so drunk they crap themselves when they're laying out in the front yard.

My daughter lives in the same town as her mom and had to vent last night. I try not to hear any more about her mom than I have to - it just brings back bad memories. She probably needed mental care more than a divorce, but who cares. I'm just glad it's not me that deals with her anymore.

I don't think this is a contest, but if it is, I think you win. A mix of near-catatonia and then mania... and drinking... oh boy.
