In need of a little help.

I've got a bit of a real life problem. This is going to seem like a "Dear Gabby Abby" type thing but just read.

Okay, I've got a particular "friend" that wants me to get rid pictures of her that are in my albums because she's angry about whatever the hell she wants to be angry about.

Now here's the problem. All these pictures have other friends of mine in them, and we're all in a good mood and having a great time in those pictures, and as much as I like a wonderful mental memory of the events that took place I like to have the actual image to prove it.

I don't want to be selfish and I talked to some friends who kinda feel the same way I do. Not to be a sentimental princess, but I can't do it. I wouldn't feel so wierd about just deleting the pictures if they were just her alone and no one else, but they're group photos, and it seems she's already insisted those go too.

Really, I actually want to tell her to fuck off, and get another life than just standing there being a bitch.

So What do I do? Just delete the photos and make her happy, but I won't be since they're pictures with friends and I. or Not do it, tell her where to go, and I lose one person and possibly get shit from everyone else.

I'm honestly opting for the latter.

I have talked to other friends who feel the same way, but they are either undecided, or just pruned the pictures out since it was just the one person in the picture.

Has anyone else been in a dilemma like this one? Perhaps not as silly as photos?

Tell her to get over it. Seriously. You having pictures that she happens to be in doesn't affect her in any way. She's being a child.

Option b, darling. Brats don't deserve to get their own way over petty trifles.

Or, you could go the sneaky and underhanded route. This may or may not require an external hard drive/or flash drive, depending on the size of all pics combined.

Make a folder, and name it something that is in no manner related to the pictures, copy all the pictures into that folder. Zip the folder shut. Right click the folder. Choose to make that folder hidden, and then choose to hide all hidden files on that external drive.

With your pictures safe, hide the external drive in a safe place, where she cannot find it, such as a safe deposit box at the bank.

Then, choose option B, and tell her off. Should telling her off not work, then go ahead and delete the pics, knowing their all safe and sound in that external drive hidden away in a zen monastery in the hills of China, possibly Japan.

After this all blows over, restore the pics as necessary to your computer, having retrieved it from it's hiding spot deep inside Area 51.

And then smile, knowing you got your way, no matter what.

Tell her you'll be happy to delete pics of just her but that you'd be hurting other people too if you deleted the others with those other people in them. Ask her if she'd like to crop herself from those photos and send the edited versions to you if she's concerned with her appearance. Otherwise she'll just have to deal.

Jesus Christ, who gives a shit?

[Rith]

Anyone bitching because they were in a group photo is just a brat. Ignore her and tell her to get over it because you're not going to throw a memory away because of your selfish idiocy, grow up and move on.

[oren]

Thank you godhand... we know you love all of us very much.

I did go for the second option. Ehh... hopefully she gets that they are group photos.

[Camella]

Couldn't you photoshop her out of the group pics or something?

[oren]

She's right in the middle of all the shots. It would really look weird.

Yeah... she accepted the fact there are group pictures from everyone so she's not gonna hunt us down for that.
