To have had a little snigger, even though it's really not funny

[potentialqualms]

Friend of a friend type situation. He told his long-term live in girlfriend it was over 5 weeks ago. She didn't take it well and they haven't yet sorted out who's going to move out etc (I've no idea of any details of their relationship or if she's entitled to feel wronged etc)

Anyway, he's been excited to have qualified for the World Championships in a fairly obscure sport and arrived at the airport for his flight this morning. At check-in, he discovered the photo page from his passport is missing!

It's not funny. It's terrible. But I will admit my first reaction was a little snigger at the genius!

What's made you laugh when it really shouldn't have?

It's all over social media at his own had already

Sorry, what?

Waves to Daily Mail journos you cunts

whoops...at his own hand. He put it there himself

Unless he did something totally and utterly unforgivable then what she did was awful, spiteful and embarrassing.

MovingOnUp if you're going to hell I'm going too 😂

What a horrible thing to do. Not to mention pathetic. Do some adults really behave this way?

Can you imagine if a man had done that to a woman?! Just cruel. Who says he 'deserves'it anyway? You're allowed to break up with someone.

Sheer nastiness and resentment. Why ruin the man's chances at competing at World Championship level in his sport? Is she hoping he's going to say "ooh baby, I'm sorry, I love you really, let's get married and make babies" for crying out loud??

Criminal damagee and he could sue her for costs and incidental damages and he should.

Many years ago, my horse riding coach discovered that the client she'd been dating had a long term girlfriend. She didn't let on that she knew as a few days later she was due to prep his pale grey horse for one of the biggest shows in the country. He arrived at the yard that day to find the horse beautifully presented, but with it's plaits sprayed pink!

I laughed at my grandads funeral

But only because his chosen song was "the only way is up"

The funeral was all quiet and mournful then all of a sudden this club beat came on and starts singing the only way is up. Kinda hard not to laugh

No, no planes involved

Now, I have no idea about the events leading up to the OP, but that is genius, fraggle :o

soubriquet im sure your grandad was laughin with you-love it!

Incredibly cruel to all the other people involved in the sport and those who were financially involved in it.

Hopefully it wasn't a team sport as that would be beyond the pale.

Had a very old song on a very similar theme at FIL's funeral, Soubriquet, with a similar reaction :)

I'm sure he was. He had a good sense of humour like that

He was that sort of man though so it probably made him happy

That was funny, Soubriquet, very witty and I'm sure, prophetic.

The woman in the OP, not so much. Sounds like an embarrassing excuse for a human being actually. Not clever, not amusing, just pathetic and a bit pitiful.

I think it was a great trick to play on him. And I would have laughed loudly and at length had I heard about someone doing this! It's one i would have been proud of myself!

Oh I've got a few but I'm reluctant to post them for fear of being horrifically judged

My ex wouldn't let me take any of our family photo albums when I moved out. He hid them in his car. His car went into the garage for repair. .
And burnt out completely due to an electrical fault.

Genius?? To cause someone that amount of hassle because he doesn't want to be with you any more? Have a little dignity, ffs.
What an embarrassingly needy thing to do. Not to mention illegal.
