Default Hilarious - Girlfriend Forgets Boyfriend is in Europe, Email Tirade Ensues



I love the 4 AM drunk email, and her attempt to fix her mess at the end.

My mom does that when I travel for work, even though the day before I told her I was going to Europe - I come home to worried mother voicemails (even though she doesn't think to call my work# which is forwarded...)

Damn I feel bad for the guy. But if she's going to just go out and screw someone else that easily, then he's better off.

But I disagree that he should have left his phone on. Maybe check your email once in awhile. But damn, she's such a moron. What a bitch.

Anyone know where I can get Em's phone number?

That's what I was wondering. He must have gotten those emails while he was away, he could have text back, or made a long distance phone call.

He didn't get them, he checked them when he got back.

Don't roaming charges only apply if you use your phone while in another country? If your phone is on, but not being used, you aren't charged?

Still, check your messages once a day, make a call or 2, and your done. And for her not remember her bf was going to europe, that's brutal.

So to summarize:

A) Girlfriend forgets he is in Europe
B) He apparently didn't tell any of his friends he was going/they also forgot.
C) His mom knew so little about his girlfriend that he was in love with, that she was incapable of looking her up in the phonebook.
D) He didn't e-mail home/check his e-mails the entire time he was there despite the fact that bascially every hostel in Europe has a computer that costs about a dollar to use.
E) Girlfriend doesn't make a single spelling error in any text besides the drunk one where she miss spells every second word for maximum comedic effect.

Smells like fiction. Decent enough story, but he should probably rework it to make it more plausible.

Lots of holes for sure, but what's a phonebook?

Lots of people are unlisted, especially if they don't have a landline.

This guy forgot the very important rule #3:

It's the girlfirend forgetting through the entire ordeal that I find hard to believe. I mean, there are some pretty dumb women out there, and I could see one being dumb enough to be at a pub with friends, get a little drunk and then call her boyfriend to come out after he's already left for europe.

But to go through all those days and emails and everything that happened, and to not even once sit back and remember "oh right, he went to europe!"? To me that's just too unbelievable.

Plus, we all know how much girls gossip amongst their friends. Any normal girl would have told all her girlfriends that her boyfriend was going to europe...and you know she would have talked to her girlfriends about what a scumbag her boyfriend is, and that she's breaking up with him........and therefore, you know that her girlfriends would have said "Uhhh, you told us he was going to europe this week"

The whole thing is just ridiculously unbelievable.

Freaking hilarious. Fact is that they obviously weren't very close to beign with if she really didn't know he was going. Chances are this is a B.S. Story, still funny either way though.

I dont blame the guy in the least for not taking a cell or checking emails.

Other than the occasional work email I dont check personal email at all when I am on holidays. Some people like to pretend on holidays that they are free from all that and they will deal with the possible 100's of emails in the inbox when they return. 1/2 of which is likely Euro porn spam.

Also, not taking a phone. He is backpacking through Europe, why do you need to take a phone, its just another chain.

Also, why would the mother have the gf's phone number. Why would your parents need that number unless things are marriage time serious.

Also, I think his friends did know, she makes mention that his friends are such bs'ers - they likely told her when she called "listen you crazy hoe he is in Europe for 2 weeks" and she thought his friends were asinine and so didnt believe them.

Who the hell spends 2 weeks in Europe without checking their email at least once? What was this guy doing? Attempting to reenact ancient Roman life with such historical accuracy that he couldn't slip off to one of the million or so internet cafes littering Rome?

People are asking who doesn't check their email while on vacation, well I'm one of those. last year I was gone for three weeks and didn't touch a computer. Some of us have to unplug.

It seems so obviously fake, that it has to be true.

That's it right there. If you truly have any feelings for someone, you'd at least stop off at an internet cafe once or twice to write a quick hello and say how things are going.

I want to call BS on this, but I also know a lot of people who would be very capable of just forgetting about life for 2 weeks and enjoying their trip with no distractions. However, they're single.
