At work we were exchanging stories about our crazy exes.
Everyone has a story about someone they dated (or married) who wound up being completely nuts.
I was the one who got this conversation started, because Bonny and I just broke up, and now I’m seeing just how insane she really is. Bonny and I didn’t even date for very long, just a few weeks, so when she started talking about kids and marriage I ended it. One day I will have kids, but the fact that she was pushing for it after 1 month together was a red flag. The other guys at the HVAC dealership all had stories to match up with mine… and then Bonny raised the stakes. She actually called the HVAC dealership with a work order, claiming she needed a service call, and requested that I come to her house. I jokingly told the other HVAC techs that if I didn’t check in after an hour they should call the police. I was not surprised that Bonny had tried this sort of thing, but I was surprised that she had gone so far as to damage her air conditioner. She didn’t want to admit that she wanted to talk to me, she pretended that it was a legit HVAC emergency. Then I saw that the thermostat had been ripped off the wall and smashed on the ground. I had a dozen other thermostats in the work van, so I quickly replaced the damaged one and got out of there before she could go crazy on me.
