So I know a chick who will say something like "My father raped me while I was still in the womb"* in the middle of a conversation. Our** natural response is to focus on her. "Are you alright?"
"Do you need to talk about it?"
"What's wrong?"
Having attained the centre of attention***, she proceeds to act like it's nothing.
"I don't really care. It's been a long time. I'm over it."
"Latirara****, you brought it up. Clearly it matters to you."
"I told you, I'm over it!"
Well, I'm tired of this bullshit. She's an attention whore.

Footnotes:
*Not a direct quotation.
**"Our" meaning "My friends and my".
***THAT HOOKER
****Not her real name.

Hypocrisy means never having to pick between 'right' and 'consistent'.
