Drama Llama

Oh how we love the drama llama. There is always that one person where every time you see their name appears on your cellphone screen you can’t help but think, “What now?” It’s not that there isn’t anything legitimately wrong, or that someone isn’t doing them an injustice. It’s just that this person never calls you for anything but to use you as their own personal therapist, but you don’t get paid for it.

Drama Llama: You are not going to believe what happened!!

Drama Llama; The person who is always doing (insert some random personal attack) did it again today. – But they sure won’t leave the situation, will they? No. What else will they have to complain about? Someone should call Jerry Springer.

Overcaller

Want time to yourself? Forget about that when you’re friends with an overcaller. This person knows your typical routine and will call you religiously at the time you should be available every day.

If you fail to answer the phone when they call you, they will call you back within the next couple minutes to “make sure” the call went through. This person will even go so far as to call you back again in 10 minutes if they think you might not have heard the phone.

My favorite is when they will call you during a meal, you let them know that you are having a meal with your family (in public most of the time) and they tell you to call them back when you’re done. No problem, right? Sure wouldn’t be if they didn’t call back in 30 minutes thinking you had plenty of time to eat, have dinner conversation and rush back to them. It’s not like they have anything dire to discuss anyway. 80% of Overcallers are also Drama llamas.



Overcaller calls. You don’t answer.

Overcaller calls again 2 minutes later. No answer (you’re in the bathroom).

You call Overcaller back finally: Oh my God!! Where are you? Are you okay?!
