No fair leaving us hanging!!! Do tell, do tell!!!!
I came home from school this morning and see on the caller id that my ex called last night. GRRRR!!! He calls me every few months or so, with some ridiculous reason. Some of the past excuses have gone like this:
1.
Ex: "I found some break pads for your car in the garage, just wanted to know if you wanted me to send them to you?"
Me: "Umm wouldn't it be expensive to ship break pads?"
2.
Ex: "I found this warranty for your stereo, would you like me to mail it to you?"
Me: "ok"
----now let me point out that if you found something that belonged to someone else, it isn't really necessary to call them and ask if they want you to send it...just send the damn thing....oh and of course, I have NEVER received ANY of the items he claims to have found and intends to send to me
3. This was the most recent phone call some time in Mid-November or so...
Ex: "I was just calling to find out if you took the crock pot when you left?"
Me: "Well, yes, it was a Christmas present to me from your grandmother".....(but more importantly, we lived in an apartment, where do you think we would have kept a crock pot, if not in the kitchen...would it have been sooooo difficult for you to open the few cabinets we had and check to see if a crock pot was in one of them??)
Ex: "Ok well then I guess I will just have to go out and buy one."
Me: "ok"
Ex: "Because we are having this get together and I was going to make chili."
Me: "ok."
--pause--
Ex: "Yeah I haven't had a lot of time for shopping lately..."
Me: ......(does he expect me to ask why? yes he does, but I don't bite, I am sure he intends to offer the info anyway, which will most likely be a lie, as almost all things which came out of his mouth were)
Ex: "Yeah I was on a business trip out of the country in Europe." (this in and of iteself is not exceptionally abnormal, as he does travel for business, but I knew this particular trip was ficticious and just a ruse for something to talk to me about, and atempt to get me to ask him how things were going)
Me: "Oh really.....what country?
Ex: "Ummm, one in Europe"
Me: "ok which one?"
Ex: "Well I didn't really have a lot of time to look around, we flew in, had a meeting, and flew back home."
Me: "So you don't even know what country you were in??"
Ex: "Well I just can't think of it off the top of my head."
---no folks, what you are reading is not the script for another vacuous made for TV movie, nor is it made up, this exchange ACTUALLY took place!!! Pretty unbelieveable huh??
Anyways, so I am annoyed that he called again, every time a few months go by, I hope that is the last of it, and I won't be hearing from him any more, but alas, he proves himself to be one of those unsquashable cockroaches that just keeps living!!! I am tempted to call him back just for kicks, to see what wild concoction he wants to try to feed me this time, or see what inane matter he though was so deserving of getting in touch with me.
I mean it has been 9 months now. I thought it was the general arrangement that when 2 people break up, and it isn't amicable (which this wasn't), and when they have nothing keeping them in contact (like a child) that they are supposed to go their separate ways. Someone obviously needs to explain this "separate-ways" doctrine to my ex!!!
In fact we have plans to all ("work guy," me, best friend, best friend's SO) get together on Saturday. I am very happy that not only did he enjoy my friends (when we went to the party at her house a couple weeks ago) but that they also like him!!!
