Wow, she really came on with a vengeance, didn't she? As long as you took it well, what the heck? What did you do about your date? You didn't just answer the door when he arrived and say "No big deal, I just got a bucket of water dumped on me. Let's go". Did you know the guy well? How did that work out?
She's lucky you didn't do her like a girl told of doing her friend on Jay Leno's show. He was doing the question routine about crazy things that happened to them with the audience and two college girls were there. One told of being in the dorm shower when the fire alarm went off. The other girl had taken her clothes, towels, anything she could cover up with. The first girl told how she grabbed some paper towels and tried to use them for cover and went outside. So here she was outside the dorm with only a few paper towels and a crowd gathering. Well, the other girl acknowledged at this time that she was the one who had taken everything and set off the fire alarm. I think from her reaction, the shower girl may have planned to kill her friend right after the show. If I remember correctly, the fire alarm girl stated that she got away with that part of the deal.
That one is over the top! We both took it well and are still best of friends today. The date? Well, we eventually married and had 3 kids, we were together for 20 years but now divorced and both since remarried. We started dating in high school so it wasn't a first date or anything. Funny thing is my roommate never cared for my ex or the way he treated me...in hindsight maybe it was sabotage!
So maybe there really was some handwriting on the wall (in the bathroom, get it?). At least you got three kids in the deal, that's good.
Here's one that's old and you may have heard about it but I did get to help out on it in a real life scenario. This was in the mid 70's when the gas shortage was on, so I was just a young guy. There was a man who worked where I did and he was one of those hard-headed retired military guys. He bought some small car, I think a Chevette or maybe a Pinto and was constantly bragging about how much gas it would save and preaching to us how we were going to go broke driving our "gas guzzlers", as Jimmy Carter called them. We had heard of this prank and decided to do it on him. One of the guys would carry a gas can in his trunk and every day or two at break he would go and pour a little bit of gas into this guy's tank, not enough to notice on the gage. Well, his mileage kept getting better and he wouldn't let us forget it. We had his mileage up to some incredible amount, I think 60-70 mpg. We planned to keep going until something gave, which it finally did. After a while, someone (not in our workplace) put 2 and 2 together and told him what must be going on. He finally figured it out and confronted us, and we admitted to the trick. He took it really well considering how he normally reacted to things. But for a long time we would come in and rib him with things like "Hey, Frank, is that new car up to 100 mpg yet?".
Of course gas was about 10% of what it is now but I think we all pitched in on the cost. But it was well worth it.
Well, It seems I've developed quite a cheering squad, here. I don't really know what to say.
I learned the "thirty-something" friend is actually 28, lol. I still haven't had to face her but it's going to be embarrassing. We've known her for about ten years and she's a very attractive woman and married to a very nice looking young man. There's just something unnerving about her having been there and now can compare me to him. Ugghhh....
I'm not too concerned about people seeing the "anonymous" ones since so much has been seen anyway (maybe you'll get your wish, Stav) but the ones with my face included are definitely ours (I think they may have been deleted). The people I work with do not know I did this and I would like to keep it that way.
Stav, I'm going to print your last post about what a great hubby I am and frame it and give it to my wife, lol. She may not know all of that about me. Thanks. She knows, actually, that I've been chatting on this site but she hasn't actually looked at it. I've told her about all the responses, though. I told her I had built up quite a following and she may need to be concerned, but she is confident she's pretty safe, lol. And she is.
LOL! Tomzz you are a breath of fresh air. It's great that you can laugh about it. Years from now it will be a tale you'll be dining out on
I am sure your wife already knows she has a man in a million.
She must have invited three million men, then because there were three of us. The other two were more willing, though, lol. Come to think of it, I have gotten steaks for supper a couple of times since. Hmmm... maybe I need to do it more often???
BTW, I finally had to face the 28 year old friend. She had dropped in and they were sitting in the kitchen when I came in. I put my hands over my face and said I'm not here and she knew what that meant: that I was embarrassed to see her (or actually that she had seen me). She just gave me a big hug and told me that I was a good sport, etc. But I did at that moment re-live the whole thing again.

Sounds like your wife is thankful you did this for her.
