Ok. I know this is BU, but I'm looking for examples of any reasonably light-hearted bit of cathartic venting from your past, where you still look back occasionally and think 'what was that all about'?
My example (just remembered this tonight) was back in my 20's when I was single a 'friend' (let's call her Rachel) told me she knew this guy who really liked me from a few parties we were all at. I couldn't remember him at all. Rachel kept making a big deal of how keen he was blah blah so I said fine, ask him to call me. This is when it got weird. Rachel then decided we wouldn't be compatible and didn't want to be the one that brought us together for it to fail. Eh, ok. Whatever. So I forgot about it. However, she kept bringing him back up every few weeks. Same conversation, same conclusion. I really wasn't that bothered as I had no clue who he was. This went on for six months!
Here is the 'what the' part.
During all this going on in the background, I met my DH through another group of friends and we started dating and quickly it got serious. When Rachel found out, she was seething. It was all sort of 'how dare you meet someone, and what about poor X'. 
Needless to say, the friendship dwindled but just tonight I did wonder, what was all that about? And also, who was this mystery man? Did he even exist?
Anyone else had something odd like this? When you look back and think, what on earth was going on there?
