So, tonight I checked my MySpace account, yay boredom, and who should contact me but an ex that I left on very bad terms with in High School. See what happened in the year of 2001-2002, I was dating this girl, and it was my senior year of High School. Well long version short, I paid $200 for both of us to go to the prom, which included a $100 dress for her, she backed out at the last minute because I found out later she cheated on me. She never refunded that money and kept the dress. Ever since then, we've gone our separate ways, once or twice she'd contact me for money and I'd smile and slam the door in her face and then I tell her I'm calling the cops.

Anyways fast forward to 2008, I am in Grad School, all of my surgeries are done and I look completely different than I used to back then, I am in Grad School, studying to become an Occupational Therapist etc. etc. So I think I'm doing pretty well for myself, and she contacts me out of the blue on MySpace. She apparently wants to talk, and I plan to rub all of my successes, which includes; getting my PPL, having all of my surgeries done, getting into a program that only accepts 30 students a year and being one of the higher scoring students in the program.

Yea, I plan to rub all of this in her face, It'd be like rubbing her face in cow manure is the first image that comes to my mind. Anyways, would this be below me or should I just take the higher road and be nice?

And to keep this on topic, has anyone else had an ex contact you after several year of no contact?

Well first of all this isn't myspace, nor a blog. This kinda stuff doesn't really belong here. Second, yes it is below you. You talk of surgeries...and I conjure up images of someone who has overcome physical adversity. That scores you points. You talk of advanced education. That scores you points. You seem driven and successful. That gets you points.

Your current existence already rubs the girl in the face enough. You came out on top, and perhaps she didn't, but she wishes she had shared in your success. Stay far away, mister. Do not talk to the crazed. And yes, that includes insults as well.

Below you? I don't know, because I don't know you. That was easy.

Also, that was painfully bloggish.

No, it's not.

If she was just an ex that you broke up with naturally, then it would be. But, she cheated on you and then had the nerve to ask for money after the fact?

Rub anything you want in her face.

I have been considered a borderline genius by respectable people, but do I rub that in all my enemies faces, NO. Instead, I try to help those who were mentally inferior to myself feel better about themselves by teaching them to talk like they are articulate, or I simply make a George Bush.:p

Maybe she just wants to apologize, return your money and ask your forgiveness. Perhaps her goal is to take the high road. You are already on the high road, no one is worth stepping off of it.

Does rubbing it in her face get your money back? Pride? Does it make you smarter? More capable? Does it make your surgeries more successful?

In other words, does being an asshole give you anything besides maybe temporary satisfaction? and that only at the possibility of losing out on someone who might have changed alot and might be a good person now?

didn't think so

Just be nice to her. She may be repentent about it.

Bah, what would a chicken thief know? :p

But in all seriousness, I have to agree with our esteemed collective of fowl rustlers. Take the high road.

Rub it in, but be very subtle about it.

get LG to pie her.

Sure. But make sure you root her first.

If you have to ask if it is below you, then it is.

get LG to pie her.

I reluctantly accept. :)

Okay, go and meet her, be civil and everything, be polite..

But take your hotter, smarter, younger, and bigger breasted girlfriend with you (If you don't have one, get one).

Yea, I plan to rub all of this in her face, It'd be like rubbing her face in cow manure is the first image that comes to my mind. Anyways, would this be below me or should I just take the higher road and be nice? I don't know, is cruelty a thing good people do? Will being cruel make the world a better place?
And to keep this on topic, has anyone else had an ex contact you after several year of no contact?Not really. I have sporadic contact with some exes and none at all with some. I haven't seen the one that I severed all contact to in about a year.

She wore a $100 dollar dress to her prom?

Grad school? This post suggests you still have the mentality of a highschooler.

It certainly would be below me, but I think perhaps it's right in your league.

And to keep this on topic, has anyone else had an ex contact you after several year of no contact?

Yes, I have. Thanks for asking.

Karma is a bitch...if you put out negativity you get more in return...so if you want to bring some bad luck into your charmed life by all means rub your success in her face. It just means you can't get past your insecurity that was caused when she bounced your butt to the curb. Too bad Grad school didn't come with some good manners.

Okay, go and meet her, be civil and everything, be polite..

But take your hotter, smarter, younger, and bigger breasted girlfriend with you (If you don't have one, get one).

And also, try to work into the conversation that thanks to good investments you now only work for pleasure!!!!!!

Ignoring her would be more scornful, but at the same time, would spare you the dirty low road.

And also, try to work into the conversation that thanks to good investments you now only work for pleasure!!!!!!

ooh, that's good.. You've done this before right?

So:
1. Turn up in Ferrari/Porsche with your 'perfect' woman.
2. Subtly convey that your life is perfect and it has worked out just fine. You are also richer that Gates
3. Imply that if it hadn't been for her hurting you so much you never could have got there
4. Threesome!
5. Tell her that you the porsche is stolen, the girl is a hooker that owed you a favour and you spent your last $20 buying the crappy suit from the op-shop. Inform her that she may have just contracted syphilis from you.
6. You don't have to see her again!

NB: It is important that you do this in order!

I don't see why you shouldn't if you want to. It's not a matter of revenge or morality, it is a question of indulging into something you want to do and she deserves. It could be a very rewarding experience indeed if you do it in a subtle manner and at all times hold a sort of moral high ground.

G: Hey how's your life been?
Y: Not bad, not bad... I mean I'm doing my post-grad now... you know nothing exceptional.
G: Wow.
Y: It's not such a big deal (implying "for someone as intelligent as me")

etc. etc.

Brag about it and downplay it... it'll drive her crazy. Oh and also be very ironic about anything she says.

Yea, I plan to rub all of this in her face, It'd be like rubbing her face in cow manure is the first image that comes to my mind. Anyways, would this be below me or should I just take the higher road and be nice?

that depends on if turning into a jerk is something you can rub in someones face

And to keep this on topic, has anyone else had an ex contact you after several years of no contact?

there is one or two who I do wonder about and wish I could catch up with but mostly I become good friends afterwards

...now I'm all depressed and want to set up a myspace :mad:

Shag the guy she cheated on you with up the bum and take pictures. Send. Laugh.

Women are like the government; they don't give refunds. I hope you learned your lesson!

Sounds like pointlessness to me. Why rub anything in her face? Success is it's own reward, you might jinx it through braggadocio.

Closest thing I can think of is finding an ex in a crappy internet porn clip a few years after.

I don't know whether it'd be below you, because I don't know you. But I do know that the best thing to do would probably be to ignore her. Unless there's some particular reason you want to get back in contact, I can't see that'd it be of any benefit to either of you. No reason to be impolite, of course.

Not wanting to sound too Buddhist about it, the immediate satisfaction of revenge never really makes it worth the damage it does you in the long term.

As far as whether this 'belongs' here, as far as I'm aware it's still a general forum.

Okay, go and meet her, be civil and everything, be polite..

Hooray Hookers!

Rubbing it in her face makes you a bit of a dick.

Rubbing it in her face makes you a bit of a dick.

But it is sooooo much fun to do! Besides, she had it coming, right?

Rubbing it in her face makes you a bit of a dick.

I was going to do a switch around with that, but somehow that would be juvenile... and way too easy...

Rubbing it in her face makes you a bit of a dick.

yes, but sometimes it is worth it.:D

yes, but sometimes it is worth it.:D

you never know, she might be into that sort of thing...

you never know, she might be into that sort of thing...

in which case it turns out good for you either way:D

Pot, Kettle, Black.

... I tried really hard to understand exactly how this was funny, and the best I could come up with is that you were suggesting I make you some cofffee...

If that's the case, make your own. :p

If you're trying to comment on my post, I was being sarcastic.

I was being sarcastic. If the original post wasn't so childish, I wouldn't have replied in a childish manner. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

i don't know if this is below you cuz i don't really know you, but it is pretty low. why not just ignore her? you don't want to know her anymore. even being a dickhead to her is opening up a dialogue, why start that?

A) Get a blog.
B) 30 students a year? I wouldn't be boasting... I didn't even apply to a program that took more than a dozen or so. But then, as we all know, it's the admissions rate and not the total that counts. (As in, don't throw out numbers if you haven't grasped basic statistics.)
C) My breakups have gone two ways: 90% of the time I make myself clear the first time and they don't bother to come crawling back; but I do have one clingy ex (the most recent one) who doesn't seem to get the message. But she's only torturing herself.

Advice: don't bother. It won't be as much fun as you think, anyway.

Anyways, would this be below me or should I just take the higher road and be nice?

Nah, nothings below you Wilgrove...
;)


Seriously, take the high road.

lording it over people is what high school reunions are for. save it for your 15th.

until then dont contact her. she is only going to ask you for money again.

My same thought. That girl´s what we call in Spain a ¨vividora¨. A woman that only gets with guys just to take their money.

You never know how people change. Eight years is a lot of time for people to turn kindhearted and more mature.

Still, I guess if you really want to then you have the right to do it. Then again, taking the high road might be even better than being rude to her.

Tell her to take a flying flip through a rolling doughnut, and to lose your number. It seems like the only time she knows you is when she thinks she can get something out of you.

Well I decided that I gotten rid of her once and I don't need to get rid of her again, so I just deleted the message and ignored her. I don't need to prove anything to her.

Just goes to show that people with overblown egos can still slip under the radar in graduate school and still become 'occupational therapists'. Way to make the world a better place.

Wait a minute, you paid for her prom dress? Boy, did I miss out. When I was a young thing going to the prom, I foolishly thought that I was supposed to pay for my own dress, shoes, wrap, etc. And then he stood me up.

I really think rubbing it in her face would be a tacky thing to do. They say success is the best revenge, but that only works if you don't keep bringing it up.

Yea, but Karma is a bitch because a year later when it was her time to go to her senior prom. The same thing happened to her. :D Ahh the first time I heard about it, ahh I just laughed my ass off, Hell I couldn't even breath. Since then I do believe in Karma.
