IMHO the bloke would have been punching the air after receiving that text for having dodged a serious bullet. She's got bunny boiler written all over her.

Good way to show you don't care: send long message, try to get person fired from their job, continue to imply through sarcasm that they mean absolutely nothing to you, post on blog.

Breaking up with someone over text (even nicely) is kind of shitty. Trying to get a recent ex fired from their job because of... well... nearly any conceivable reason? Really shitty.

(To compound matters, the racist, sexist and fat slurs on her blog now are pretty depressing. I'm no misanthrope, but people are $@&^#.)

Lol. Alas, it's one of those switches on the wall. I'd need a lot of electrical tape...

Hmm. :twisted:

Stick a sign on the bathroom door that she will be forced to see everytime she tries to leave the bathroom.

LOLA - TTFFO

On the other hand, if you're talking about an exhaust fan, it's probably not hard wired in but plugged into a socket in the ceiling. 3 minutes with a screwdriver can have the fan out and unplugged.

Lol. I don't actually want to get rid of the fan. Our bathroom doesn't have any windows, so it's going to be total Mouldville if I do that. I think a large sign with a boombox and can can dancers might do the trick, but then again it might not.

What about a push button switch it times itself out, never have to turn it off!

Or just do a little rewiring so if the fan is turned on the doorknob has 240 volts going through it so you can't leave the room without turning the fan off.

Instant privacy and aversion therapy in one hit. :P :wink:
