Now I know how all you guys feel.
Two girls I know got in a fight (not a physical fight 
) and they keep talking about the other to everyone, its so stupid, one of them is talking to me yesterday, and I tell her, "Im not involved in this, no one has pissed me off, in high school, people just run their mouths to much"
Mistake 1: Saying that on AOL
Mistake 2: Not thinking the other will see it
Mistake 3: forgot how easy it is to change the whole context of something when the words around it are gone.
Mistake 4: CTRL + C is copy, CTRL + V is paste
So it is changed to this:
me: thats what sucks about people in high school, just run their mouths like a tap water faucet
her: People should just growww uppp..
Nowhere in that conversation did she say some people need to grow up, and with how that is phrased, wouldnt you think im siding with one of them?
I guess this is how life will be until I get a break 60 years when I die. I guess it is true, women will never be understood.
Is there ever any day I wont have to think about this crap?

The best advice I've learned is to keep your mouth shut. Your mistake #4 happens in speech too. Women can be selective about what they remeber you saying. At the same time, - we're guys, we don't remember anything word-for-word, and we have to re-think what we said whe it's thrown in our face. I've found the best response is to just agree with whoever is complaining by a simple "uh-huh" or "yep". DON'T GO ANY FURTHER! that allows people to twist your words. It's pretty tough to twist Yep!
