    This could be my wife. All of her coworkers and employees constantly give her their life stories in gritty detail. She is always appalled by the amount they tell her, but… she doesn’t ask them to stop.

    The woman loves drama that she isn’t involved in. Internal drama stresses her out, but other people’s drama is just her reality tv shows come to life. Everywhere she has ever worked, inevitably her favorite coworker is the grumpiest person in the office who has no filter about everyone else in the office.

    Actually, at this very moment, she is scrolling through people posting on a facebook group who are angry that this local doctor just got fired “out of nowhere”. In reality, we know the full story. He was fired for harassing and disparaging every woman in the clinic with a bunch of sexist shit, driving at least 3 to quit, and for massively overprescribing pain meds to a ton of people and trying to get other (women) physicians to write his scripts for him to take the liability off of himself. He’s a real scumbag. Half of the people in the threads are his patients who have been getting their fix from him, though, so they are talking about what a great doctor his is. She keeps sending me screenshots.

      Oh hey, I’m like that. You just be awkward and amicable, pretend you’re boring but cool with whatever and people will just tell you all sorts of wild shit that’s going on.

      It’s funny because I’ve been the boring lady at jobs solely because I don’t get involved in drama and I keep the scandalous parts of my life private
