What happens when your poor-listener girlfriend forgets that you're backpacking around Europe for two weeks with no access to your mobile phone or the internet?
If you're Toronto blogger Jay David, you take her embarrassing, humiliating, retaliatory emails to the internet. Let this be a lesson, dear readers.

She should have gone to his place as soon as he arrived home to replace the tape in the answering machine....oh, nevermind...this isn't a Seinfeld episode...
I think the only lesson here is that posting crazy, but *private*, vindictive emails from an asshole, in a public and vindictive way, makes you about as much of an asshole as the original emailer. These two were meant for each other.
He waited two years and kept her identity hidden. An asshole would have done neither of these things.
The best 7 minutes and 42 seconds of my life.
Thank you Torontoist.
I think the woman can only be as annoying as the music sound track of the video! And, that's saying a lot!
or maybe don't date someone who is airheaded enough to not know you are going away for two weeks! she must have been one heck of a moron.
That was just magical... thank-you Torontoist for making my day.
What I don't get it, is what kind of boyfriend would go away and not even call or check in with his girlfriend not even once?
I'm just curious how long they were dating.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that she was freaking out like that, it was that she DIDN'T LISTEN in the FIRST PLACE, and was too full of herself to find out what was wrong.
I'm pretty sure that I dated that girl too. A couple of times.
I will sleep well tonight knowing that there is someone out there more ignorant then me.
Good night!
i call bullshit. she 'doesn't hear' that he's going to europe and he doesn't check his email for two weeks? entertaining, but bullshit.
It can definitely happen with someone who isn't a good listener.
As for not checking e-mail while vacationing, there are some people in the world who actually want to get away from their daily lives, if only for a short time.
I've been to Europe and not checked my phone or email for more than a week. I also used to travel quite a bit, and my family would sometimes forget that I was out of the country and try to get me on the phone/email. Even if it's fake, it's still totally feasible.
yea I'm on call 24-7-365 so when I go on vacation, my phone and any other methods of communication are totally off.
"What I don't get it, is what kind of boyfriend would go away and not even call or check in with his girlfriend not even once?"
Are you serious?
Pavel The Lover: that guys a disgusting jerkoff.
Misogynistic blogger spreading stories about "banging ugly girls" and other such conquests: upstanding citizen because he created a meme.
Another top drawer post, Torontoist!
Nice viral marketing there, Pavel.
Not exactly. Both are disgusting, but one got on DIGG.
If I hadn't heard from my boyfriend for two weeks, I wouldn't think he's avoiding me. I'd be worried that he's dead in his apartment and no one has realized it yet! But if her first reaction is to think that he's dumped her, then that probably says a lot about her character, and his too.
