Reply to comment by fuck-alia-iacta-est in TIFU: Paying $267 flight change fee on our second date so she'd stop screaming at United customer service instead of not seeing her again. Not today, three years ago—I just moved out. by fuck-alia-iacta-est

I definitely did that at one point, I don't anymore. ESH.

I'm at fault for letting it happen and not pulling the ripcord when (I hate this term）red flags showed, she's at fault for continuing to refuse to be an independent adult, and her parents are at fault for raising her to refuse to be an independent adult.

It doesn't have to in some ways at least thankfully

I feel you re:MDs, part of my reality is that my dad died five years ago because a doctor "misdiagnosed" a condition which happened to give that doctor a pretext to install an expensive, profitable device in his chest.

There are definitely shitty people who only cause misery. Part of why I'm comfortable with just ignoring them as opposed to pursuing something (both criminal+civil） is the knowledge that even though I could completely blow up their little world there is nothing I or anyone could possibly do to fuck them worse than they fuck themselves. They're miserable now, I could make them marginally more miserable but the cost would be my own happiness. They aren't worth it; on top of that when you make it apparent to a person who loves to say "do you know who I am" that they aren't worth your time or energy pisses them off just a bit more too.
