They say that the hardest part of breaking up is getting your stuff back. I agree, and think there is a business opportunity here. There should be a website where you can offer items back to your ex, or to a past hookup, with complete amnesty. We can call it stuffBay, or perhaps something clever. If the ex wants the items back he/she must pay a small fixed fee, plus shipping. Or, there can be regional offices for drop-off and pick-up.
For instance, I could go to my regional office and drop-off the gold hoop earring that has been on my dresser for 13 months, along with Rojo's email address. stuffBay would then notify Rojo via email that she has an item to be picked up, and it's over. If she doesn't show within 30 days they can sell it.
Think about how many awkward meetings this will help alleviate. More importantly, think about the sheer volume of goods this site will move. This is an untapped billion dollar industry. If there are any readers who are VC's, give me a call.
The reason I bring this up is two-fold. The first is, I have a vast and random assortment of crap at my house from various girls. Earrings, shoes, clothes, a snow board, all kinds of crap. The second is that last night Madonna sent me a text asking if I had come across her watch. Who leaves a watch behind, don't you notice it's not on your fucking wrist? Or, did she leave it behind on purpose? Do people really do that?
Who knows.

The watch thing can actually happen, I think at times you are so much in a hurry to get out you just run out. Since you are not in your territory you will place it some where you never stayed at and your mind just forgets.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you need to step up your blogs, been a bit boring. Not the way it use to be...
She pulled a Costanza on you to get a "second date"...
ReplyDeleteThis post is ironic. Just last night I had to meet up with Honey Locks to get a tie that I had left at her place and to give her assorted stuff she left at mine.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about those "hand off" meetings is sometimes you get into a discussion as to what happened.
I support the idea of the business.
Oh, and your blogs are still good.
Annoymous is sure judgmental..sheesh! I think leaving stuff at a lover's place is total sabotage. I dont think ive ever done that. If i want a clean break in the future, im DEFINITELY not leaving anything of significance there. Leaving a watch? Um..no..im with you. Thats usually expensive and not a "item leave"...kinda like a cell phone..NO ONE leaves a cell behind. AN earring? Totally. Im TOTALLY in support of that business omg!! its kinda like that company where women can hawk items given to them by ex lovers/fiances etc...BRILLIANT! btw, who forgets a snowboard? wierd.
