    Angry Batshit Crazy Lady

    So this month K has been working on this crappy low-budget show. For three days this week, he got better pay on a commercial, so I'm filling in for him on the show while he does the commercial. We're shooting overnights, which is always tiring and results in cranky people, but overall we have a great crew and everybody's easy to get along with.

    Except the craft service lady. My first night (last night), she asked if I was here to replace K, and I said yes, and she immediately exclaimed, "Well, I hope you stay, because he's a FUCKING DICK." She went off on this long and involved rant; evidently he complained about her to a producer, who turned out to be a casual friend of hers, and she's been creating drama about it ever since. He hasn't mentioned this to me and I knew nothing of it, but I don't like getting involved in these dramas so I just said something politely noncommittal and left. A few hours later, word got around to her that K and I live together, so she came to my office and went on another convoluted melodramatic fake apology for bringing me into their "personal issues." Again, I just said something politely noncommittal.

    So tonight we're going along fine; I can tell she's nuts but I've been in enough strip club dressing rooms to know how to keep my head low and stay out of the way of crazy women. Shortly after lunch, there's a lot of noise coming from craft service and they don't have enough P.A.'s to stand there and keep everyone quiet, so I came up and took that spot. I was friendly to her and everything. Then we started shooting, and right in the middle of the take she was having a fairly loud conversation with one of the grips. I did the usual thing - smile, shush, whisper "guys, we're rolling," spin a finger in the air in the universal "we're rolling" gesture.

    Well, she flipped out. She loudly told me she didn't care and I had no right to be so disrespectful. We're still rolling, so I politely made the gesture and whispered that we were rolling, I meant no disrespect but she needed to be quiet. She went berserk and started yelling at me to fuck off, how dare I, etc. She was yelling, "What do you WANT? Want me to lick your BALLS?" And I was just whispering, "No, I want you to be quiet." She kept going and I was just staring at her and she goes, "What, are you SHOCKED?" And I just laughed and said, "Well, yeah." I finally gave up and figured fuck it, I did my job, let the higher-ups deal with her if she wants to keep talking. Once we cut, I explained to my boss what the issue was (which is my job; he needs to know where the noise was coming from), and he discussed it with the producer.

    Next thing I know, there is this HUGE blowup that involves the entire AD staff and a lot of loud words and swearing. The bitch is under some impression that I have a personal vendetta against her and I'm trying to get her fired. (Evidently she feels the same way about K, and also without basis; if there was someone he wanted fired, I would know about it.) She kept following me around screaming at me. I'm doing everything I can to ignore her and she's still screaming the f-word at me, telling me she hates my face, calling me a bitch, threatening me, blah blah. I switched positions with a P.A. and got out of her way for awhile.

    Hours later, the producer comes into my office to deliver a sermon on respect and how everyone on the crew is equal and no one is more important than anyone else and how sometimes misunderstandings happen but we need to move on. He basically told me to go make nice with her or be fired. I gave him the same polite you-got-it treatment and he assured me he'd talked to her and she would be okay if I just apologized for the "misunderstanding."

    So later I wind up standing next to her and we have to be quiet and still because they're rolling again. I gave her a polite smile but before I could say anything she became outraged and started whispering angrily, "Don't you fucking smile at me. How dare you. Who do you think you are, you fucking BITCH? I know what you're doing and" blah blah blah. I just shrugged and said wearily, "Listen, I don't want to fight with you." She barked, "YES YOU ARE, DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME, YOU FUCKING WHORE BITCH," etc. At that point I ignored her and that made her even more furious.

    So now I've got this fucking drama to deal with. I don't need it. I only have one more night on this show and I'm just going to stay out of her way as much as possible, but I'm concerned this is going to wind up involving K and make all the next week difficult for him.

    What possesses these psychobitches?? Honestly, I did NOTHING to this woman. I never even met her before yesterday. I don't need drama at work, especially at four in the morning. *sigh*

    She sounds severely mentally ill. I'd be scared...

    Ditto CF. She definitely sounds severely paranoid. I guess just keep your head low, poor K though - another week!

    I don't know about shooting, but would the higher-ups react better when they see that she's wasting time, film, and money? As in, you shoot anyway, catch her drama on film, keep them as blooper outtakes, and conveniently show them as progress or lack thereof?

    It sounds like paranoid schizophrenia to me.

    Yeah, but what sucks is it seems K will have to see her the following week and bear the brunt of Yekh's visit on top of his own

    With all your equipment can you get some of this on camera(or at least on tape)? Then you will have a case(or K will sine he is the one who willhave to deal with her more) to have her removed.
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    From what I can tell, she's fucking the producer. I also found out after all this that she's dealing drugs - definitely weed, possibly more - to the crew. That explains some things. When she was carrying on, the one time I lost my cool I sighed, "Lady, you need to get back on your meds." She turned white and gasped, "Oh, you did NOT just go there, you DID NOT JUST GO THERE," like I'd made some horrible personal insult. I didn't realize she was dealing drugs but evidently she took that comment as a dig at illicit drug usage.

    So the producer won't fire her because she's his sex-and-dope hookup. It happens. Apparently she sucks at her job and she's been causing problems the whole show, and all the AD's want her fired but it won't happen. And if she knows about the other AD's wanting her fired, it explains why she thinks I wanted her fired too, even though I never even met her before.

    The director is wasting more time than anyone else and they're definitely not going to have the camera at craft service. Unfortunately when people are talking through the shot, the sound department deems it to be the AD staff's fault for not keeping them quiet. And it's not like the producers don't know she's crazy and causing problems, but evidently she's protected by this one.

    The thing that really irritates me is that I look bad just for being involved in this. There's a problem between two women, so obviously we both must be crazy females causing problems, even though I've been nothing but professional and civil even when she was calling me an ugly freckle-face whore. The producer made it clear that the onus is on *ME* to make nice.

    K says if she's still there today, I should quit. He's been wanting to quit this show for weeks as well. There's only one six-day week left and the key set P.A. could step up and take the 2nd 2nd AD responsibilities for the last week. This show is way beneath him anyway. Thing is, it's not beneath me (he's got about 5 more years of experience than I have) and I wouldn't mind staying for the rest of the show if it wasn't for this skanky crackhead throwing oranges and raising her fist to me.

    I dunno, part of me wants to quit and be done with it, and the other part of me wants to go in and just do my job. Part of me is actually hoping she hits me. I'm not one for frivolous lawsuits, but they KNOW this woman is a loose cannon and if she hits me, I'm suing. So go ahead and hit me, crazy lady, I could use the money!

    I'm tired. I'll give it another few hours and then maybe I'll call and quit. I just don't need this kind of aggravation. But at least the drugs explain her bizarre behavior.

    Haha, reminds me of this nutcase who I had to take care of when I worked at the nursing home. She was 70 and a severe paranoid schizophrenic. Her family felt bad that she was so batshit insane, so they tried to mainstream her by putting her in a nursing home. I'm sorry, I don't mean to insult schizophrenia. Schizophrenia wasn't so much the problem, it was the fact that she was a spoiled brat who needed to be in charge. Basically she had been in institutions since age 16, so her famil tried to compensate by spoiling her rotten. This made her a horrible brat who insulted everyone, used physical violence and threw things, and was sweet as pie to her social worker, her family, and the administrators. One day, as I was changing her diaper (convincing her took a good 15 minutes, as I had to let her be in charge of EVERYTHING), she started hitting and scratching me. I reported it to the nurse, who came in to investigate. The nutcase was as sweet as pie, and told the nurse that I had assulted her. The nurse looked at me and said, "She's crazy." The brat's jaw dropped, as she was used to having her whims catered to and getting people fired. The brat just sulked the rest of the night. Serves her right. I'm glad that someone stood up to her. Eventually, after I quit, I learned that so many people had complained and quit over her that she was sent to a geri-psych ward.

    Some people just need a quiet slap in the face.

    If you quit, what's to guarantee that you won't tip off the cops that she's selling dope? I mean, you're going to leave with a bad reputation anyway...

    You are so patient! I would have to quit or I would have smacked her senseless
    Don't quit and call the cops, but do it anonymously as you wouldn't want word to get around the industry

    It's not really worth calling the cops. The LAPD doesn't really care if a craft service woman is selling weed on a film set; that kind of thing is so common nobody minds. I decided to go in tonight and do my job mainly because the rest of the AD's had my back 100% and I don't want to leave them high and dry on a night when they'll especially need me (we have a lot of actors working tonight and a party scene to shoot). I probably won't come back though, and if she doesn't let this go I might have to leave. But I'm going to at least do right by the other AD's here.
