Karebear Enters The Craft Show, A Wild Bitch Appears!

From: Karebear

Hi folks! Just a little weird thing I wanna share with ya.

But before I start, some context!

First, my mom's community (retired community for folks 55 and older) puts on a craft fair twice a year. One in the summer outside in the town street and one in the winter in a huge gym the local school lets them use. (And by huge, I mean HUGE, easily could hold 2 basketball courts, but their basketball court is in a totally different gym.) Anyone and everyone can rent out a booth for these fairs, and my mom usually rents two each year for her craft hobby and her husband's craft hobby. I usually get suckered into helping, which I don't really mind at all because it's pretty fun. I can be my own boss. :) If I like ya, you get a discount, if I don't like ya, you pay full price! (My mom doesn't care either because she gets the chance to get rid of half the crap she makes.)

Secondly, I was born an only child. I was an only child until my father remarried. I now have a stepbrother (SB in this story) and two stepsisters (who will not be mentioned anymore in this story.) SB and I are 15+ years in age, him being older. We aren't really close, but we still catch up when we do see one another. It had been about 2 years since I had last seen him before this point.

Okay, to the story!

I was minding my own little booth. My stepdad was taking care of the other one while my mom was off getting us some nom noms. It was around lunch time, so there was a lull in the action. No biggie, I was reading my book, but then I hear my name being called. Look up and behold, SB was standing in a few feet away! He was with a girl, who I assumed to be his girlfriend...he's a bit of a womanizer, so I could never keep up with his relationships.

He comes over, gives me a hug and a peck on the cheek (we're so lovely even though we aren't close - been steps for more than I have been alive now.) We chit chat for a few moments, trying to catch up. Ask about each other kids, yadda yadda, til his girlfriend comes over and starts screaming at me.

"Why are you flirting with my boyfriend?" (Cause you know...hug and small talk = flirting these days... I guess?) And went on a full blown rant for about 2 minutes. Caught the attention of all the nearby customers and dealers at the booths. Naturally, I'm looking at her like she's some sort of demented weirdo while SB looks highly shocked by her outburst.

When she ran out of steam, SB says to her, oh so calmly, "Babe, I'd like you to meet my baby sister..."

Crazy girlfriend does a complete 180 and goes, "OOOOH! How nice to meet you!" trying to butter me up.

I look at SB and said, "You sure do like picking the crazy ones, eh?" She walked in a huff and SB and I did some more chit chatting until business started picking up again.

He called me later that evening and told me he broke up with her for being the jealous and clingy type. I told my mom about it when she came back with some nom noms and we had a giggle over it. My mom raked in a nice amount of cash, and I got to keep some of it for taking time out of my life for helping. I used it to buy her dinner. :)

LMAO. Deer Lord... Good for SB, that's exactly what he should have done. Stupid bitch. That's why you gotta survey the situation and get proper intelligence before flying off the handle. I am such a sensible jealous clingy type.

[RayvenMoon]

Had that happen, plus a threat of bodily harm by an ex boyfriend's then gf over calling him hun on Facebook >.< I might want to add that he was several states away, hadn't seen each other in years and had remained friends despite the break up. Wanna guess who he still talks to?

Women like that kill me. They give the rest of us a bad name, but they are so easy to wind up into mega crazy bitch mode.

1. I will never understand why some women get like that. Rayven's right- they give the rest of us a terrible reputation when they don't see that we're not all out to steal their BFs.

2. Also, it's lovely that you helped out your mom AND treated her to dinner. You've got a good heart :-)

[Mrs. Lovett]

Personally I always took it as kind of a compliment when a girl flirts with a guy I'm dating. And he's more than welcome to be friendly right back. I'd rather date a guy who has female friends or at least knows how to be friendly with women because those are the guys who usually understand women better and see them as more than just sexual objects. Jealous girls like that will probably never be happy, and the men they're with know that they will never be trusted.

[The Last Archimedean]

Karebear, you have a good heart, and I'm very happy you were able to help out your mom.

And you have a very smart stepbrother, dumping crazy bitch right away when she revealed her nature. I had to help my [late] cousin get away from a woman like that once, that was no fun.

Glad all worked out well.

I shall always honor my mother's wise comment about Dad looking at beautiful women (and vice-versa)... She said she'd know when to hammer the lid down on his casket - if he stopped looking, he'd be dead.

"It's okay to look; but he'd better not touch!"

[Queer Geek]

Good thing SB broke up with the girl. He would be in a world of hurt if this psychobitch is extremely jealous.

[CharlieWhiskyMike]

Maybe your SB is Lucky that this stupids Tussi character was revealed so fast

[NC Tony]

I'm sure someday she'll find a doormat she can be happy with. I'm thankful I've never dated any girls like that.

[Sadie The Cleaning Lady]

I've never really been jealous of girls flirting with my boyfriend, except one. In my defence though, she asked if he was still with me, then asked why, and finally proceed to tell him why he should find a room with her at the party we were at.
I do, however, seem to have a serious issue with men flirting with him, probably because they do it even while I have my arm around him...

[Nocturnesthesia]

Ugh, stage 5 clingers. It's always nice when they find each other and become one of those disgustingly cute couples who share a toothbrush and Facebook account, but dealing with them can become quite tiresome.

[Skittles]

I think that kind of goes both ways. On the one hand she over reacted, on the other hand her boyfriend did just walk up to a girl she knows nothing about hugs her and kisses her on the cheek and proceeds to have a conversation. Seems like the whole thing could have been avoided with an introduction before the conversation started.

[CoG]

Did this crazy bitch actually believe her boyfriend would flirt with another girl in front of her? Damn, get some info, weirdo. Guys like that are not worth knowing, but find out first if he's an asshole before you go off on him. Because otherwise, you end up looking like the psycho. And your future dinner plans will be "party of one".
