While not even coming close to stalking,,,, I think some of us - having been very angry and/or hurt/humiliated or got played on the bad end of a breakup have played a "get even" prank or 2 - anyone care to share? No slashing tires or putting snakes in their beds...enough of THAT already....I mean funny stuff. . . .I bet there's some stories out there somewhere.
Here's one pulled from the headlines of Uni's adolescence...
Background:
I had left home and was on my own at 15..it's about a year later I'm getting by...barely...Ramen noodles were my friend ok? got a job and a hole in the wall for a crash....no furniture besides beds and a tv on a milk crate .... the best stereo I could afford but no car...beer cans stacked to the ceiling... like that.
My gf at the time decided to do my roommate at the time - some dickhead I let crash for a few weeks when he lost his place .... in my bed no less. Busted. I was pissed. I go to work and they make like bunny rabbits,ate a weeks worth of food and drank all my beer - now that pissed me off.
"we didn't mean it - it just happened" Nice.
I was pretty ticked at him - I ended up giving him a shot before he got out the door.
No "head or gut" for him - I wanted him to have a bruise for a few days so the other guys would give him shit - "yeah, a 16 year old whipped your ass" (he was 19).
Over in 10 minutes which was how long it took him to get his stuff and leave. House rules. Bang my gf in my bed? later.
They stayed together. We sat down a week later after everyone cooled off and made peace.
A few months later I'm hanging out at the beach with this same clique that had kinda adopted me ...I'm barely 16 and this bunch was late teens and early 20's..and meet a cute girl about my age for a change - just down from Ohio and we're hanging out... couple days go by and she says her Moms out of town for the weekend so off we go...
I hop in her car and she takes me home.. imagine my surprise when we pull up at her house....oh, you see this coming already don't you?
I had been in that house many times before...... I pulled her into the first room I saw with a bed(her sisters, of course ) and flash forward about 4 hours when my ex comes home with my former roommate in tow and finds me in bed with her sister.
Of course it was a setup. But not what you think. Read on.
It all came out the next day.
Come to find out the clique had put the 2 of us together. People coming up to each of us individually and telling us the other liked them... "she likes you - she told me - go talk to her"
You get the idea. It doesn't take much to get the motor running as a teenager when it's like this:
"hey dude, here's a cold one and hey - did you talk to her yet? - she WANTS YOU DUDE - go GET HER!!"
Forget about what the girls were feeding HER.
Oh - You think the guys came up with this don't you?
Wrong - it was the girls. Why?
Come to find out the girls all had a beef with my ex - she was well known for cheating on her boyfriends, the girls all knew...he didn't, although you would think he would have had a clue , considering the circumstances of how they met.
Rule # 1 guys, if a girl cheats on her bf with you - clue? She's probably going to keep doing it.
Anyway - this time she (very stupidly )had hooked up with a guy who was dating one of the girls in the group....
He then turned right around within hours and confesses to his gf who called all her friends and before you knew it - it was a thing.
She was fair game. Oh yeah. Fired up.
The girl who got cheated on had enough pull and sympathy with the group to make things happen and... well...we had not had our fair share of drama lately....
This sort of thing happened all the time and it was usually resolved after a few days of "he said - she said"
With the girls it was usually a public confrontation with "slut! bitch! {slap}".
The guys would usually get the guy alone and it would be over. Everyone made up the next day and hey - who's making the next beer run? It was like that.
This was different. Turns out (the girls) had never really forgiven her for what she had done to me either ...I was the baby in the bunch and ended up in the role of "the kid brother" that they felt protective of ...think Patrick Fugit ( played the kid Rolling Stone writer in way over his head in the Cameron Crowe movie "Almost Famous "....but not quite. Little older, not quite as goofy looking - on a good day.
They planned to whip her ass when it was over anyway - this was just for giggles. I was getting coached on deviant stuff to do when I got her sister alone from all sides.
Oh, they were all just having a blast - "bust that ass uni!" was the last thing I heard as I jumped into her car that night..
My former roommate went along with it as well...the girls ratted the gf out to him first thing to get him on board.
First, they got a hold of the guy she banged that night.
No permanent damage. The ex-gf dished out most of it. The ex roommate never laid a hand on him - they all knew he wasn't about to tell anyone he got his ass whipped by a girl for banging another girl behind her back...smart.
Now - game time. How can we have a little fun with this?
They ran down the list. It didn't take long to settle on who was going to take one for the team.
They were like that....let's just say you NEVER fell asleep at a party with this bunch - you could wake up with your head shaved , naked and covered in peanut butter and no one was off limits.
Once it started looking like a home run, their evil streak really came out - thank god cheap consumer digital video cameras, Sony Nightvision and the internet didn't exist back them - this was like 1985 - they would had that house so wired for webcast it would have generated it's own magnetic field.
As it was, they had people in the house with tape recorders (thank you very fucking much radio shack)
They were quite proud of themselves. A regular army ranger infiltration unit they were. Ok, it helps if the bf slips them a key beforehand, but they actually got into the room with the mic and I never knew they were there.
To be fair - Seal Team 5, Delta Force and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading squad could have been in that room with us and I for one would not have known.
You should have seen them rolling around the boombox when I showed up the next day at the beach with bruise and scratchmarks (the sister gave me a smack or 3 getting out the door)- no Roman warrior got the welcome I did.
I tried to be pissed, I really did. lasted about...60 seconds. At least the selfish part - the way the kid sister got played was wrong and I made them fix it so she knew I got played too.
He ended up throwing in the towel with her a week later after she cheated on him yet again and the girls finally all got together and jumped her.... the family moved back to Ohio shortly after that.
We all drifted apart as most cliques do - the really bad kids went one way and most of the rest straightened out and went the other.
That was one week of my summer of '85.
