I just about knocked a biitch out (kinda long b/c I say too much)
Saturday we had a BBQ at our friends' house...they're the ones who built literally 2 doors down from our new place. They invited another friend over who's super cool. He (D) brought his wife (C) and her 14 year old kid. I've only met C twice before, and once was their wedding (she was very nice the first time, SO rude at the wedding) and our friends hosting had only met her a handful of times...the last time, C started a huge argument with our host friend (T...can you keep this straight?) but it was blamed on her alcohol intake.
So we're all sitting around, laughing and have a great time. I even told T that I was glad C came b/c she was cool and maybe she was having a bad day the day she just about killed T. T agrees. At one point we're giving our H's a hard time (Mike and T's DH)...C's joining on this and then the next second she's talking to me (in a very "stern" voice) about how we can't change a man and she knows b/c she's been married before and we're ruining our marriages for trying to change them. She then says that she's going to go get a psychology degree so she can analyze us and our shallow lives. Needless to say, the joking ends and things get quiet...I peek under her chair and notice 5-6 beer bottles and suddenly things make sense.
Shiit like this goes on for a good hour or so...she's making little jabs at me about a movie we want to see, the car I drive, my "shallow life" etc. I finally text T to ask her if she's noticing...T says yes and that she's surprised w/how I'm handling it. I ask if I'm overreacting and she says no but we agree to keep our mouths shut and hope they leave soon.
Then. C asks T and I when we're having kids. T gives her her normal answer (when HH grows up...they're not planning on kids for a good 5-10 years if at all) and I'm honest...I say "never." She erupts on me, telling me that it's prob a good thing b/c you "need to be educated to have a kid." She says "I hope to god you're on birth control...are you?" I answer "No, I just like to fuuck for fun," followed up with, "Of course I am...I may not be 'educated' enough for a kid but I have been educated enough to be on BC since I was 16 b/c I don't want one." She looks like she's going to slap me and I put 2 and 2 together...she was 17 when she had her kid. By this time, I don't care and I'm pissed. I ask "C, is there some kind of issue here between us?" She says "No, I just want to make sure you know what you're doing." I tell her to mind her own business and that my shallow life is mine to fuuck up if I so choose...Mike's freaking out and D (C's H) tells her it's time to leave.
Now I understand why we've only met C a few times and HH doesn't bring her around. Thank god several other people witnessed it all, including Mike b/c I am not allowing that wh0re into my house...normally Mike will argue with me and say it's his friend's wife so we need to be nice...this time he was like "I was just about to say that we're never seeing her again."
ARGH! I'm still pissed just thinking about it!
Re: I just about knocked a biitch out (kinda long b/c I say too much)
Wow! I agree it's obvious why D never brings his wife, C, around to hang out with his friends! I'm glad Mike saw it too so you don't have to argue with him about not wanting to see C.
What a way to ruin a fun BBQ! Although it would have been pretty funny if you did knock her out
Wow, what a night!
People like that should not be allowed a drop of alcohol. I probably would have been a big biotch and told her that maybe that degree she is planning on obtaining will help her realize what a twat face she is when she's drinking. What are you trying to hide/cover up with that?
Mel, that's my point exactly! I won't drink more than one drink w/vodka in it b/c that's exactly how I get...mean and loud.
It was just shocking...literally one second we were joking around, the next she was jumping down my throat.
I just feel bad that it happened at my friends' house. My other friend's H was there (she was at work) and we don't know him very well...he left as soon as it erupted. I need to call him and apologize.

I think HH should have a talk with her or next time she starts that kind of BS, pull her out of it for her own safety. You know... kind of "Um, honey, I think you've had enough." and cut her off. (Yes, I'm sure she'd lose it, but hopefully if someone close to her pulled her out and addressed it next time, she'd see she's only embarrassing herself!)
You should've completely told her off.
Seriously, that's taking it about 10 steps too far. One... can be overlooked. Two or three steps past the line? You can blame on too much alcohol. But that was well-deserving of whatever she got.
