What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?Groovypoodle writes, "My mate once told his girlfriend that he didn't think it was working only for her to laugh and tell him he was hilarious. Saying she was 'too weird' and 'slightly violent' and that he didn't like her was equally hilarious. Ripping off her wing mirror, throwing it through the windscreen
and storming off in a huff merely generated an apology from her a week later..."
Just how hard have you had to work to get someone to take the hint and stay dumped?

Friend Dumping (TM)This is an unusual one, because it's not about a "relationship" in the sense I think the question means.
When I was 12 I had my appendix out, and it didn't go totally smoothly. I had a major infection for a few days, though I didn't really feel sick(er). Then I was told to stay off school for two weeks. Yay! Plenty of time to read, or whatever.
But: one of the guys in my class at school, Richard, kept coming by in the afternoon... I had no idea why. Maybe his mother was telling him to, or something. I didn't want to offend him, (possibly because his sister was sweet), but how to stop the visits?
The solution I hit involved (a) a record player, and (b) some of my dad's albums. The "silver bullet" was Mario Lanza. Whaddya mean, who? He was a popular operatic tenor of the 1940s and '50s, who made several records and movies, before dying young. (If you ever saw the film Heavenly Creatures, he was the guy those two loony girls were worshipping.)
Bugged the crap out of me, to be blunt, so he was a perfect weapon. It worked! A few verses of Funiculi, Funicula, and he could see I was genuinely deranged, and did not return. However... I think he reported the music to his sister, because she lost interest in me altogether. Bugger.
