Had I been given a deserved dressing-down by a PROFESSOR, I'd have lumped it. But the sweat was having the administration bailing on me with a never-ending cringeworthy rabbitting about human dignity.
Crikey, dragon-fly! Mine it was not; if she aimed her fanny at me, the feathers went literally for the birds, where they belong, by the way. ; -)) The NEARBY PERSON? She let the whole UNIVERSE see it. It was cosmic. Brian would have liked it: she let the cosmos rock! I didn't say she had to make it a shaven haven, I didn't go into details, my goal was trying to protect her from snide remarks, which are sure to come. I chose my words with so much care that you wouldn't believe it - it came out even as a dainty comment, to my taste, very appropriate and adequate.
She could have answered: "Hey, Christ killer, get this whiffy beanpole of a body outta my sight". I'd be like: "Rad! Now we're talking. It's BETWEEN US". And it's FACT: my forebearers did kill Christ and I AM SMELLY. It's no secret. I have some hormonal issues which the doctor has been unable to treat for TWO YEARS.
But TURNING ME IN TO THE ADMINISTRATION? The professors are ok, but the bureaucratic staff are a bunch of noodges.
I'm okay now, though. ; -))
CATQUEEN: these are not friends! They left you for the tanned, muscled long-dicked men on the beach without entertaining any second thoughts about it. You'll tell me: "I'd have done the same", but that's not the issue. It's in THESE TIMES that a friendship is put to test - even if there are better things waiting for you out there, you'll stick to your friends. Shouldn't it be like that?
"FRIEND FIRST" is actually my motto. It's either "FRIEND FIRST" or, as you can see, "CHANGE!". And when they opt for change they leave you cold and alone and sad.
[b]FRIEND FIRST. [/b] :-)))

Well, the line they fed me was that they 'need work'. But I'm sure the beaches and accompanying men are secretly part of the issue!
Regarding your friend(?), maybe next time, instead of pointing out the view, you could oggle her, then loudly say, "Hey, does anyone here have a camera? I need a new facebook profile picture!" That may also get you reported, but it would be much more entertaining and potentially explosive. :)
And Dragonfly, I too have noticed the same thing - the nicer you are to some people, the worse you get treated! What's the solution - become nasty?

On a different note, I saw John Lennon today. Bizzarrely, he hasn't aged, in fact, he looks a bit younger then he looked when he died. He looked maybe about 30 or so. But he disappeared before I could talk to him. (Disappeared as in walked away, not disappeared in a puff of smoke.)

Become nasty?- No way! I'm not saying that! I'm saying that the reality is not perfect and cruel. But even so good people do good things. And..... sometimes get punished for it! Which is unfair of course. But becoming nasty isn't a way either. We have to keep balance: be kind, but not weak, be strong but not rough. And no way of losing kindness!

Bum-ba-dum-dum-bum.....
Obviously, he's alive -- Gorden's alive! Flash! Aaa-aaa!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Although, if it's the boring explanation that you want, he seems to live near whereI was. I've seen him around a few times, and always want to talk to him, he looks like a lovely guy (as well as looking incredibly like John Lennon.) He's so like John Lennon, I once told one of my friends about him and she knew who I meant immediately because she's seen him around too.

I wasn't having a jangle nor behaving like a mighty mouth. By no means I have a low boiling-point, I'm quite patient actually. What really made me go off the deep end was her decision to go public with it! I was actually the only one trying to fend remarks all too near her bones off from her. Much to my surprise, instead of trying to talk to me, she went on to blow the lid off what I had told her in a respectful way. I really took it to heart, maybe wrongly so, and played the game.
But to my real shame... ; -))
Anyway, I fortunately know my onions and had no problem getting shot of the pointless task.
I couldn't give a...candy about either the task or the admin's obsessions. I just expected more from the girl, who's NOT my chum at all, by the way. She could be, as of now.
I like to make friends, but this time... : -(

Okay, here's a question for the native English speakers on this forum:
When somebody you know goes to a funeral, what do you say to him/her? My teacher, who's a highly skilled English teacher (close to native speaker), didn't know the answer and me neither. According to her, saying something like 'good luck' sounds awkward in this kind of situation.
In Dutch we have a word which perfectly fits in a situation as described above, but we couldn't find a proper English equivalent.
Anyone?

English is not my native language, but maybe these links can help you. If not, excuse my curiosity- I'm just having a lot of free time:)

Keep it to a minimum, really. "I'm really sorry. Take care" is enough already. DON'T TRY TO CHEER THE PERSON UP.
NO:
1) "Always good to die...you know, you come back with a fresh view of things". NO!
or
2) "Good funeral". "Enjoy". NO!!!
See to it that you don't make either of the two blunders above and you'll be fine.
Take heed of this advice, my friend. Many a person has already lost a mate for saying that "well, he decided it was time to give up the ghost", and so on...
