How do you prepare for an event where drama is sure to go down?

1. Bring snacks

2. Boring answer, but I don’t go. I fucking hate being in any environment where people are upset, angry and/or loud so much, I grew up in a house like that and now I have zero tolerance for it, even if the drama is concerning someone/something completely unrelated to me. I’ll cancel and do something fun and relaxing in peace instead.

   If I have to go for whatever reason, I’ll keep far away from the people involved the entire night, and make sure I can slip outside when the shit hits the fan.

3. I probably wouldn’t go.

4. Honestly? I don’t go. If I have to, I do not engage. Drama is overrated and unnecessary and I have no time for it. Those who start it and carry it on need to grow up. They’ll see how much better life is.

5. Bring the popcorn. Watch like a movie.

6. Sounds fun, where can I sit?

7. I stay home. Drama is such an energy suck and a real sign that I’m hanging out with the wrong folks.

8. > […] where drama is sure to go down

   I’m not going. No way I’m using energy on that

9. If it involves me I wouldn’t bother, I’m never going to turn down free entertainment though

10. Get two sorts of popcorn – one salty and the other sweet.

11. I simply do not attend said event.

12. Recently encountered this at my brother in laws funeral. Just kept telling myself “not my monkeys not my circus”
