I like to call it drama. Seems like there are those that always have drama and 
then there are those who hardly ever have drama going on. There's always the 
habitual dater, the drunk(s), the ass kisser, the hypocrite, the one who loves 
you but talks about you behind your back. Just like any other job I've had!
