We just had our court hearing and should be getting the papers soon. I can wait to email him "just trying to be helpful here, but you need to know, I can't claim my pension until I'm 65 under my plan's rules, so if you try to retire early you'll be giving me half of your pension for many years."

If he'd been a nicer person I'd be more sympathetic....

A coworkers ex-wife demanded half of his (rather meager) 401k when she divorced him (she was leaving him for her boyfriend) but didn't think her much larger pension should be counted. He was willing to let her walk away with her pension intact but she wanted his money so he got hers.

I love this one.

I know. But where was her lawyer? Not that PP or the coworker would necessarily know, but it seems like idiocy to go forward with the ex-wife's claims based on what usually happens to pensions in divorce cases.

I'm the PP with the coworker / ex-wife story. She was completely immune to logic, to be honest. I'm sure her lawyer tried to tell her what would happen but that woman couldn't be convinced of anything if she believed otherwise. As I recall, she thought she could just refuse to comply and she would get her way.

I was in HS, working at the local grocery store as a cashier. The place was a freakin soap opera, everyone dating everyone else.... I was dating the store casanova, a guy that kinda looked like Price. But more masculine....
anyway, he was soon done with me, and moved on to another cashier, cashier #2 who he cheated on me with. Outwardly, I did and said nothing to contribute to drama, just let it go.
Then he cheated on *her* with cashier #3.

That's when I began my campaign of prank calls. This was in the days when you could prank call, it was before caller id was ubiquitous.

Cashier #2, who had stolen my BF, got the blame. I was really, really happy about that.

My wife left me, and complained on DCUM about the financial offer I gave

http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/598867.page

Someone I know showed me the thread, thinking it sounded like my situation. Yeah...it was. I joined in on page 7.

In the end, in January, I filed for divorce. For cause -- proved adultery. She would not agree to anything short of 1/2 my (inherited & grown money). Because of the thread, which was admitted into evidence, ex ended up with very little. The judge yelled at her -- told her if she could, she would give me all the marital assets. Instead, she got no alimony, 1/2 401k (430K), and I bought her out of her half of the house. Plus, because DD is living with me, ex has to pay child support -- $500/month. (has not happened yet)

I have a house that is paid for, 4.8 mil in assets (was 4 in Dec, but market did well).

She is living in a crappy apartment, and was also dumped by the ex. Oh, DD will not speak to her right now.

Worked as a temp between college semesters, for a few weeks until I found a better summer job.

Company A was being bought out by company B. It was a bitter buyout because they seemed to be headed towards huge layoffs etc. I was instructed that part of the deal was to provide all files. I was instructed to prep the files by taking them from the cabinet and placing into boxes. Haphazardly. It was actually hard to do.... torn between doing what I was told .... and trying not to be a DB to this new company! I mean... purposely asking me to basically throw them in??? Naturally I would have stacked them nicely. It was weird.

Had a friend in college who got into a fight/arguement with the landlord of a house he was renting. He had a month left in the house...he put a hose to the street drain and left it on till he left.

GOOD FOR YOU! THAT WAS KARMA. Your ex sounds like an awful person.

Anonymous wrote:When I lived in NYC, I participated on a music-related message board for many years. Since we were all based in NYC/LI/NJ, we would have meet-ups for happy hour and music shows.

Two of the regular posters on the message board got into heated arguments that usually devolved into personal insults. The female poster, K, was quite funny and very popular with the in-crowd on the board. The male poster, S, was a bit quirky/on-the-spectrum and not as popular. Ironically, both of them attended the same Ivy League university, though I'm not sure they knew each other from there. K would mercilessly lay into S. I believe she may have even humiliated him in-person a number of times.

After a while, S devised a plot to turn K's message board screen name (which included her real-life first name) into a street art meme. He began plastering the city with stickers of "STFU [K's screenname]" and taking photos, then uploading them to the message board. It caused quite a scandal as many message board posters thought it was hilarious, while others (mostly female) thought it was a form of harassment. He began a blog that documented the proliferation of his meme, giving out thousands of stickers to random strangers. He started getting photos of the sticker in random cities all over the world.

He made hundreds of t-shirts with the "STFU [K's screenname]" logo printed on them and gave them out to a ton of NY'ers. K would be out at a bar or on the subway and see a random person with the "STUF [K's screenname]" t-shirt. It completely pissed her off.

That all happened over 10 years ago. The message board shut down probably 5 years ago. S is still keeping up his art project and has successfully showed branded objects and photos with the "STFU [K's screenname]" logo at art gallery shows. He's sold tens of thousands of dollars woth of "STFU [K's screenname]" merchandise. I think he even trademarked K's screen name.

That is the most epic trolling I've ever seen in my life. The gag has been going on for close to 15 years.

Hello! STFU Katielady by any chance?

I was a super hard working 20 something at an international development agency. Loved my job and got paid next to nothing. One of my jobs was to make travel arrangements for our overseas staff to/from the US. For the most part, these people were very nice and appreciative of my work. There were a notable few that were really shitty. For those, I mentioned to our ticketing agents how rude they were and let them take it from there. They'd be seated 1 row in front of the smoking section (back when there was one). They'd be crammed in middle seat of the middle aisle. Layovers that were long but not long enough to leave the terminal. No, sorry, there were no upgrade available. No, sorry, you can't transit through city X, no flights available.

Did your exW ever express remorse or want to get back together? I remember her saying "I screwed up" in the original post.

Not out of context of wanting money.

Not really revenge but more like light trolling. I worked at a place that was completely shut down and all our work was outsourced to India and the Philippines. Our office was closed gradually, and we all had end dates from April to December in one year. Most of us were out in July, but I stayed through August and a few people were there to the end to shut it down. One of my CW's who left in July set up her email to auto-send at a future date random stuff like pictures and memes to a bunch of her email contacts. Our IT was super slow turning off people's emails so we were getting stuff from her until well after my last day!

Am I the only one who thinks the exhusband sounds much worse than the exwife? Why wouldn't he use at least a little of that money to fix up the house? Shows that he was never really fully committed to the marriage, if you ask me.

And what is really low.. who GLOATS about the fact that a daughter won't speak to her mother? A good father will try to build understanding between his children and their mother. Not revel in the destruction of their relationship. Using the children against an ex-spouse is about as low as it gets, parenting-wise.

Oh, please. She cheated on him, was greedy and got what she deserved. Also, if a spouse puts inheritance money in a separate account and refuses to spend it, that's a clue that something is up.
