What is the meanest thing....

Da Klugs · 02-12-2009, 12:13 PM

that you ever did to someone you cared about?

With valentines day coming around I was thinking about Jane and my many years together. Never really thought about some of the things I did, however briefly that might have caused her trama.

Sunny day 28 years ago. We have a nice picnic and walk out on the end of the pier in our community. Sitting on the rocks...

I say... "Honey"

She says "yes"

Me.. "I dont know how to say this, so I'll just say it"

She says "just go ahead"

I say "I don't to date you any more"

The cruel part was the 15 second pause before I asked her to marry me.

That is GREAT!

Hopefully she pushed you in the pond/lake/whatever as part of her reply.

Well played, sir.

Awesome, Dave, just awesome.

You romantic sod!

Mugen910 · 02-12-2009, 12:21 PM

I'm gonna have to remember that one...

ucla695 · 02-12-2009, 12:22 PM

I experienced the other side of the story…

My wife was so surprised and happy when I proposed to her that she forgot to answer.

I said something like… “I take it that’s a yes?”

If she had been thinking really fast, she would have replied

Me either

Congrats to you, Dave! Condolences to her ...

Dave's on a roll today.

gpugliese · 02-12-2009, 01:43 PM

Ha! I'm glad I didn't read this thread and try it when I proposed recently, or else my fiancee would probably have killed me in the span of those 15 seconds.

doctorcue · 02-12-2009, 01:53 PM

Something along the likes of Dave's story:

I met my wife when I transferred to another store (Oct `98). I was the manager and he was the subordinate (oh man... this is going to start it up

). In any case; another associate told me that she liked me. One day she comes in all dolled-up. I was about to go home and she was going to start her lunch. I invite her to grab a bite since I skipped lunch and my drive is 60 minutes. So about 10 minutes in I ask her:

"So I heard that you like me. Is this true?"

"(Smiling & embarrassed) Yes."

"Well... you know as your manager; we can't be together."

At that point; all of the energy/happiness/smiling was crushed out of her. I had to verify this wasn't an employee prank. Her reaction told me it wasn't. So I said:

"Don't worry about it; what is between us is all that matters."

She came back to life and we have been together since. I transferred out of the store for obvious reasons; and then let it be known.

WORST DECISION EVER. J/K. I can't believe it has been over 10 years. Man time flies!

I had something similar to that happen.... the response was... "Are you serious!?"
