The sane part of my brain would say just ignore those girls who cares.. The insane part of me (which always comes out more often) would probably wind up in a fist fight!! JK

Well they will catch a knockout on a PMS day but on a regular day I think I would just laugh it off.
I once heard a pastor say whenever you hear people talking about you join in and start talking about yourself and you will see how embarass and a shame they become.

Re: To what extent would you go to?
Anytime I have ever overheard someone talking about me I would join in the conversation as if I were a part of it... people usually don't know what to do when you confront them right out, face to face.
I'm not one for physical violence though, I prefer to embarass people in public. Physical wounds only last a moment but psychological wounds last a lifetime.

Re: To what extent would you go to?
erox- I like that one. I have done that at work and people have no clue what to do. I usually stand there and say, continue I want to hear what you have to say. They usually don't know what to do.
If I walk in on it I usually involve myself in a similar fashion or just ignore it (just not worth my time). Unless I am in a really bad mood and/or what they are saying is awful, then they will see my attitude/mouth come out (not at work though..I stand professional at all/most times). I rarely resort to violence. Only been in one girl fight..

If I was in high school, I would probably want to knock their face in, but I would just walk by and smile. That would be the better and more mature thing.

(Ugg, I get this all the time when I go out. )
I just let people know I'm aware that they're speaking about me. Usually it just takes a look, nothing mean, I just make eye contact. They get embarassed and shutup. You can say whatever you want about me, just don't be so obvious! Otherwise, you might as well say it to my face!

Re: To what extent would you go to?
When I was in high school, I would throw down (you know HB girls dont play). But now that I am a grown up, I love the idea of joining the conversation. That has to put the people in the most uncomfortable position, plus you get to walk out w. your dignity (unlike the people talking sh*t about you).

Re: To what extent would you go to?
I agree with Erox girl, I have no problem confronting people who are talking about me. I work with all girls and they can be very catty. I will not talk behind a persons back,if it's worth saying, I would say it to their face. However whenever I caught someone saying something, I would make them feel stupid, then go find a stall and cry my eyes out.

I would embarrass the sh*t out of them and get sarcastic and then cut them out of giving me an explanation...I cannot be more bothered....their loss not mine!!

Re: To what extent would you go to?
It never EVER bothers me when this happens. I dont care what strange ppl I dont know think about me, why would I feel the need to 'set them straight'. I have so much to be thankful for in my life, and ppl that have nothing better to do than to be mean would be a waste of my prescious time. I feel very sorry for them actually. Hey, I have actually prayed for ppl like that, that they find it in there hearts to change there ways.

I would make sure that they knew that I heard them and make them look stupid/immature by just letting it roll of my back because I don't waste time on dumb people.

Re: To what extent would you go to?
Depends..
If I didn't know them (and I was sober) I would probably just ignore it... I would consider it a waste of time to do anything else... all it would accomplish is (in their eyes) fueling the fire.
If they were people I knew then I guess it woudl depend on my relationship with them. I would be more likely to confront somebody I knew, though.

I love the idea of joining in on the conversation. I am going to try that next time I catch someone talking about me!
