WTMF - aka arborgold is a wimp

[arborgold]

So....crazy lady's shit is STILL in the back of my car (for FOUR months as of today), so today (after I mailed my wedding gown...to a woman at my ex's law firm...woosa...woosa...), I drove into the district to my old office to pick up a case of wine from another friend, and to stop by crazy lady's office to see her in person about getting the stuff out of my car.

Since I last vented on here about this, she's ignored two FB messages, three texts, a phone call, and an email this morning (which offered her a free ticket to a wine tasting with me this weekend, and a ride to pick her up so we could get her her stuff back).

Anyway....I finally get to her office, knock, and popped me head in. She was on a massive conference call (on mute) with another colleague in the office playing solitaire on the computer.

Girl looks up, and I point at her computer and tell her (with a smile on my face, cuz I wasn't quite ready to cutabitch at that point) to check her email and get back to me. And what does crazy bitch do? Rolls her fucking eyes at me.

Yeah, this stuff is getting trashed. Tonight.

Edited: Because, yeah, intwebz safety and all.

[basilosaurus]

I would have dumped it on the floor of her office.

[pixy0stix]

I don't know what you're talking about, but is the stuff going to burn baby burn? Take pictures.

[YellowRose]

You're a better woman than I . I would have told her that I had her stuff, and she was welcome to come out and get it right now. Otherwise, I would donate/trash/burn or otherwise purge myself of it.

[charminglife]

Holy shit she's got some nerve. Trash it now, take video, & upload to YouTube and share with us.

Back in JANUARY, a colleague of mine had her car impounded. The fees were more than her car was worth, so she just signed over her car. She asked me (on my first day after being let go) to take her to the impound lot to get "a small bag" of stuff out of her car.

I showed up at the coffee shop across from the street at 7:00 am to get her, and she never showed. She later apologized profusely (overslept) and asked me to come back at 7 am the next day, which I did.

We then proceeded to drive an hour away to the impound lot, where her "little bag" turned out to be enough shit to LITERALLY fill the back seat of my car.

I've been trying for the past FOUR months to get her to get her shit out of my car, but she kept cancelling on me, and lately has just been ignoring / avoiding me.

And today rolled her eyes when I told her to check her email, offering her a ticket to a wine tasting, and a chance to get her stuff back.

Yeah, I think some burning might just be in order.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Oh hell no. I would be leaving that shit on the curb somewhere or lighting it on fire. Or taking it to Goodwill. FOUR MONTHS??!! No, she turned over the rights to that stuff a long time ago.

[emilyj]

Fuck that noise. I'd be tossing it all in the nearest dumpster ASAP. What a thundercunt.

[brookles]

You are way too nice, lady. Trash!

[mrsjuleshs]

Leave that crap on the curb & email her a picture of it.

[osulori]

Fuck that...trash it all!

I vote for this one.

[curmudgeon]

Is anything worthwhile? If you could sell any of it (and burn the rest) then you could at least get something out of the deal.

:Y:

Does she have a new car? I would be tempted to leave it disheveled all over the hood.

I'll probably go through it to make sure there's nothing cool in there to keep (cuz I'm feeling bitchy like that), but the rest will be trashed.

Nope, no car. Which is why it's still in MY car. Otherwise I would have just shown up at the office one day and transferred it to her car. But I felt bad leaving it all at the office knowing she would have to metro it home piece by piece.

So? Why should you care about her convenience now?

I think you should be creative with your trash/burning pictures.

[sparrowsong]

I was wondering what happened in this story but couldn't remember who it was. Glad you updated. Your patience has been record-worthy!

Clearly dumping the stuff is in order. But I think you're being way too kind to actually throw it away or donate for her. She needs to be inconvenienced by your inconvenience. Dump it on her front stoop. Or at the front entrance of her workplace. Somewhere where she will have to see it and deal with it, or at least see that it's too late, some has been stolen/rained on/whatever.

Leaving it at the office suddenly sounds like a pretty good idea.

[marie427]

PCE bonfire GTG in DC, woohoo!!!!

[miesl]

I don't understand why you didn't throw it in a black plastic bag and dump it on her floor. It will take less than 4 months for her to ferry it home.

[arborgold]

For those who think I'm exaggerating about the amount of shit:

[meshaliuknits]

You're really too nice. You should have left her shit in her office.

[basilosaurus]

I'd turn around and drive back to dump it at her office.

Yup.

Also? That's a lot of shit. And it looks like it's literal shit. Is that an empty cardboard box?

[emilyj]

Are you fucking kidding me?

I agree with Sibil. Turn around and go pile that shit up in her office.

[arborgold]

Other side..again.

[chichimi]

The eye roll would have been enough to drop it off right there in front of her coworkers and unmute her conference call and say 'beyotch!'

[chichimi]

Are those dirty towels in a plastic bag??? Poke a hole in it before you go. Ew

[Deleted]

Oh WOW, that is nuts. I agree with the suggestion to pile it in her office. But, you'll need to make a few trips, that is a lot of stuff.
