I have a problem with this friend. She said this, ummm… thing to me, and I, like, got mad at her. And then I told her to stop…ummmm…like, saying things to me, y’know? And, like, she got mad at me! Like, what should I do? (Flipping my hair back and smacking my gum…) ---

I’m afraid you can see this thread is going nowhere. I think it’s too general. We have had many successful advice threads in the past, and they all started with a speciality. Like “Ask the \_\_\_” Try clicking here for ideas. Good luck finding a niche. \*\* [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?query=ask+the&forumchoice=-1&booleanand=yes&searchin=subject&searchdate=-1&searchuser=&exactname=yes&action=dosearch&getdaily=&pagenum=](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?query=ask+the&forumchoice=-1&booleanand=yes&searchin=subject&searchdate=-1&searchuser=&exactname=yes&action=dosearch&getdaily=&pagenum=) \*\* ---
