My oldest sister is beyond petty and small minded. A week ago there's a succession of 3 calls left on my answering machine all within 4 minutes of each other. I have lung cancer in both my lungs and I thought this was why I got 3 urgent calls withing 4 minutes. NOPE, she couldn't get into her Yahoo account to play euchre. When I explained about my lung cancer all she said was "How do I get into my Yahoo Account ?".
Sugi, if your sister's mind was any smaller, an electron microscope would be needed to find it. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/angry2.png) Sheesh. Oh, and we're all pulling for you. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/heart.png)

Sug-it's time to send your sister, (via her Yahoo account of course) the old virtual bitch slap. ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/musicman0404/Cyber%20Slap/slap.gif)

Well there's no microscope even small enough to find her brain cells. I thought the strong microscopes at the Hadron Collider might do it, engineers told me no can do.
I have learned to stay as far away from her as possible. She doesn't even have my email addy [that's a whole other two years worth of stories]. This is the sister that I won't get a Facebook account over.
And thanks everyone for the good thoughts. ![](http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/smileys/hug.gif)

Sug, Hang in there. We're all sending good thoughts your way.
In regard to the OP, I'm sure I'm missing something and it's a far more pointed comment than I know. But speaking in broad terms, you are always going to come across petty people in life. I worked with a petty woman who tried her hardest to make my life miserable. I was never going to be able to change her, so I had to change how I reacted to her. I kept my distance and largely ignored her, and when I did have to interact with her I was polite and professional.

My mother is being pretty petty right now. Hard to understand her perspective, but yes kgb, we can only control our own reaction.
