    • Not gonna happen.

  • Some people are so nice they wouldn't hurt a fly. You'd only hurt a fly if...

    • It's buzzing around my computer monitor.

    • Ugh. I can tell this quiz doesn't get what I'm about.

  • You're finally alone with your crush (YAY!) when he/she confesses to having a huge crush on your best friend (Not so yay.) You:

    • Go home and cry myself to sleep.
    • Send them both nasty emails later. They suck.
    • Try to find a new crush as soon as possible.
    • Get mad at my best friend. I'm sure he/she caused this somehow, just to hurt me.
    • Spill all the secrets I know about them to anyone who'll listen.
    • Wish my crush had at least given me a chance. Nobody ever bothers to get to know me.
    • Should've known this would happen. Of course my crush doesn't like me back.

    • I don't think my bones are mean, but other people seem to.

  • You have a huge argument with your best friend, but when you wake up the next morning, you realize you were wrong. Will you apologize?

    • No. Wrong or not, I'll stand my ground.
    • No, but if I posted anything nasty online, I might delete it.
    • No way, because I know my friend wouldn't apologize to me if the situation were reversed.
    • Probably not. I'd rather move on. That argument is ancient history now.
    • Maybe, but I can totally see my friend taking it the wrong way. I might just make things worse.
    • Yeah, but at this point, I'm not sure our friendship is fixable. I always ruin things.
    • Yeah. I was probably just overtired and cranky.

  • Your friend asks you to comment on a photo she posted online, but the only thing you can think to say is really nasty. You'll:

    • Leave the comment using a fake name.
    • Leave the comment I have in mind. She's left mean ones for me, so she deserves it.
    • Leave a comment that says "Nice pic" just so she'll stop bugging me.
    • Leave an inside-joke comment that she probably won't understand.
    • Wait until tomorrow to comment. Maybe I'll be in a better mood.
    • Say exactly what I'm thinking. If she can't handle the truth, why'd she ask for comments?
    • Ugh. How did I end up with such an annoying friend?
