Once upon a time, GladIt’sOver’s ex presented her, apropos of nothing, with a half-eaten box of Wheatena cereal. As a “gift.” She told the story here and that telling detail has stayed with me ever since. It perfectly illustrates the Bounty for Me! Crap for You! narc dynamic. Today’s Fractured Friday Challenge is to play […]
What Are You Throwing on the Virtual Bonfire?
New year, new you. Anything you want to purge from the detritus of your old life? (Aside from your ex that is. I’ll assume you’ve already Kon Mari-ed the cheater.) You’re in luck! Today is the Chump Nation Virtual Bonfire! Heave ho all that heavy psychic crap you’re carrying around. Into the flames! What would […]
And the Cheater Freak Winners are….
So much freakiness. So difficult to choose. Where to begin? The pregnant chump who walked in on her husband blowing their lawyer? The guy who would sneak to the barn at night to “photograph his tractor”? (Add that euphemism to “hike the Appalachian trail.”) The apple-flinger? I just want to give you all a collective […]
Cheater Freak Christmas?
In years past, I’ve done a Cheater Freak Christmas Countdown! where we try to best each other with our cheater freak stories. In the past, I’ve draw cartoons of the winning submissions — which are pretty legend. The cheater who had a meltdown and escaped by hopping away in a sleeping bag. GladIt’sOver whose ex […]
When Closure Is Eaten by Bears
Need a present for that hard-to-buy for chump in your life? Consider doomed salmon. Oregon-based Wildlife Images Rehabilitation & Education Center had a campaign to name a salmon after your ex and feed it to a bear. Sorry, due to immense popularity the campaign sold out. (Which must come as some relief to the salmon. Death […]
New Age Cheater Goop Speak
Bullshit artists have a real way with words. One of my favorite Stupid Shit Cheaters Say submissions ever was: “I didn’t cheat on you, I cheated on your belief that I would not cheat on you.” It’s like META bullshit. You’re just not deep enough to understand it, chump. Today’s Fun Friday Challenge is to […]
Word Salad or Word Wisdom?
After parsing a lot of word salad through the Universal Bullshit Translator yesterday, I thought today’s Fun Friday challenge would be to share the succinct, commonsense advice someone gave you. Maybe it was encouragement (“You’re mighty!”), or an observation (“What an asshole.”), or a new way of looking at things (“Some money is too expensive.”) […]
The Weirdest Things They Took or Left Behind
The other day we marveled at the cheater who walked out on his chump, but not before helping himself to all of her homemade soup. BowTie immediately recognized this situation for its Friday Challenge potential — to list the weirdest things that they took or left behind. I have a friend who’s freaky ex kept insisting […]
Write Your Own Clickbait
You know what stands between you and a Cinematic Love Story For The Ages? A boyfriend, Tracy? A bad profile? Good sense? No. Schlock. The ability to describe your Schmoopie Love in florid cliches. Your chump reserve stands in the way of greatness. But I have an abhorrence to mawkishness, Tracy. I’m sorry. Then you’ll […]
Snark and Dance Tunes
Lately, the very clever UXWorld has been breaking into show tunes with every posting. Taking whatever the talking point of the day is and composing a cheater ballad to go along with it. A Friday Challenge was born. Have you ever wanted to put “I Love You But I’m Not In Love With You” to […]
