Doing otherwise is completely pointless and childish. The OP would belittle himself by exerting a “revenge” his ex would laugh at anyway. ---

The point is that it is petty and childish. So? If they do it right, she won’t be laughing. He and his boys would have a bitter laugh at at her expense. A bitter laugh is good medicine. **d1a1s1’s** first impulse was to say helllll no. I say: trust that first impulse. Nothing I suggested is illegal or immoral. ---

> [@Amp](#): > > Not really. Just have everything in a box ready to go so that when she comes by to pick it up you just hand it to her. Don’t even let her into your place. Just “Here you go” and then “Bye”. A box? This chick doesn’t deserve a box. A garbage bag, maybe, with a few potato chip bags and Taco Bell wrappers at the bottom. But even a garbage bag is too good. One of those thin, plastic grocery bags…from the discount, off-brand store that buys cheapie bags…that already has a tear in the bottom and one handle ripped off. Stuff her crap in there with that curling iron’s cord dangling out the hole at the bottom. The whole thing will rip before she’s back to the car. And the music that should be blaring from the stereo? “You’ll Think Of Me” with that immortal line, “…take your cat, and leave my sweater…”. I’m not a big country fan, but I love that song! And it’s perfect for your situation. ---

I knew you guys would come through with some great ideas. Well the last thing I told her was to let me know when she wants to come get it. She said “OK” Now this was almost a week ago…dont think she is going to come get it. Hmmm…didnt expect that. ---

Toss it in the trash then…she had her chance. ---

> [@Happy Scrappy Hero Pup](#): > > No, tell her that new girlfriend took them to sleep in- they’re a bit roomy because she’s THINNER than ex-girlfriend. Had an oh so poetic moment when I ran into my 5’3" 190 pound exgf with her new bf she at the grocery store. I was breifly dating a year or two younger member of the local university judo team, ranked pretty well in her weight class nationally. about 5’2" and maybe 105 pounds, smokin hot. Miss judo was with me and it floored both of them, especially since my exgf repeatedly told me I would never do better than her…blah, blah, blah. I ran across her again several years later in the presence of another lovely lady friend 5’7" 127lbs. She looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole and die…I ALMOST felt sorry for exgf… Her SO at the time made me look like a covershot for GQ. If she saw me and Cyn, and knew what our life was like exgf would probably kill herself, maybe a christmas card is in order.
