when everything happens off stage.
when people pile up on an online post due to their wretched desire for drama and attention.

A drama pest is a human that (often whilst intoxicated) becomes a cheeky pest and incites drama.

Drama pests are often caught up in arguments with friends, lovers and strangers or dangerous situations that may cause unnecessary harm, stress and/or anxiety for themselves and others.

When somebody creates a Bulletin on MySpace (or an equivalent action on any other social networking site) that is aimed at only on person for the express reason of causing real life drama.
The bulletin is readable by all of the poster's friends and is vague enough to show anger, but doesn't discuss the problem at length, ensuring the poster's friends contact her to find out what's going on, ensuring they are sucked into the conflict.
Tina's bulletin read "OMG, you're such a hater. If you don't stop talking shit, I will seriously fuck your shit up!" I'm not worried about it though. She makes at least 10 Drama Bulletins a week.
