There was also a thread where someone posted that she'd gotten into a verbal tiff with the school secretary (not great but it sounded like they both overreacted to some silly misunderstanding and the problem was over) and was told she should stop volunteering at the school entirely because she was "done" and "I guarantee everyone in admin. knows who you are and thinks you are an asshole."
