Tense altercation from an undisclosed European slope where a skier confronted a snowboarder and threatened physical violence after getting sprayed with snow by the snowboarder while standing in the middle of the slope. Much can be made about ski resort etiquette when it comes to guests pulling up and taking breaks in the middle of runs and it is not conclusive that the snowboarder's actions were punitive against the much frowned upon behavior.

"It didn't exactly go over well. Some of the others tried to smooth things over. One sent flowers, then ignored me when I thanked her for them. Another tried to convince me that everyone assumed I'd been invited to gatherings and just hadn't shown up."

Gizelle certainly doesn't care about being viewed as a mean girl or as a villain. She has accepted that as the Faustian bargain she agreed to in exchange for visibility and financial independence. But she does have her soft spots, namely around her inner circle and romantic life. Given her humiliating marriage and public relationship with Sheldon, it's not a surprise that she never wants to let a man embarrass her again.

At the core of OCPD is a pervasive preoccupation with order, control, and perfectionism, governed by a strict set of internal rules about how things should be done. These rules are not seen as preferences but as objective truths.· Non-conformists directly violate these rules.

My neighbor is 80. She's known me since I was 13. Her husband died 10 or so years ago. She's my political opposite. All she does all day is stay inside her house (even when it's sunny) and watch TV news. I try to be nice to her because she's alone and probably depressed, but sometimes I want to curse her to high heaven. I borrowed $40 from her and told her I'd give it back the next day.

This season has been less about who is right or wrong in any argument and more about the tactics they use to fight each other. Just like Guerdy was totally right in her fight with Julia, especially after she threw water at her, but the tactics she used to publish Julia's texts made her behavior unseemly to the women.
