My friend (damn, I rant a lot about her) got a simple injury from running. One that usually hurts for a few hours and makes you limp a few days, but after a week you are ok.

Well, she kept bitching about it for more than a month, claiming she couldn't walk, how the pain made her stay at bed, but somehow she still was coming go to school.

It got to the point I couldn't have a normal conversation with her without her bringing the pain in her foot and the occasional "ouch" every minute or so. It was so obvious she was making it up because she even made several statuses about how much it hurt and would be the first thing she would bring in any conversation.

I even went with her to the school hospital just to shut her mouth. She didn't.

3 weeks after the day she injured she was still taking 3 different treatments to relieve the pain, which included different kinds of pills (she didn't follow the prescription. The pain was so "unbearable" she "had" to take more pills than the indicated amount, and she pretended to get addicted to them a la Dr House style), got one of her friends to massage her foot several times a day and even got another friend that lives in another part of the city make a 2hr+ trip to her dorm just to bring her more pills.

It got very annoying because she would constantly also say how she would never get to walk again and how she would have get her foot amputated and stuff like that.
