Marianne left for summer vacation; she made her bestie Susan promise to stay away from her boyfriend, Jay. Susan broke her word by sleeping with Jay. When Marianne returned, Jay confessed his affair; Marianne forgave Jay but not Susan. “How could you tarnish our friendship, you bitch?” Marianne screamed and viscously clawed at Susan’s hair.

  1. The Mariannes of the world make me wanna slap ’em!

    Not that it’s okay for the bestie to sleep with the BF but the BF gets off scott-free? Nein. Nyet. No. Non!

    Wonderful write, though 🙂

                  1. No. When I went through the notifications on the panel, no video. When I clicked on your post and went down to your comment, I see it. I also see it in the email. Stupid WP!
                    NOW, it makes more sense. All I had was What? and nothing else!
