Your cat doesn't come running when you open the cat food tin but would rather root through the garbage.

... your self-help group switches nights and doesn't tell you.

... your identical twin gets plastic surgery.

...your life insurance company pays you your death benefit just so they can discontinue any communication with you.

... your parents change their last name and move to Patagonia.

...you never receive junk mail.

My father said that HIS father would sometimes throw 9 pennies out in the yard and tell the 3 boys, "Don't come back until you find all 10."

Better put a circled "C" on this stuff or you'll be hearing it again on Letterman or Leno. To bad Rodney Dangerousfield has moved on to play before other crowds greatly in need of humor. He lived for stuff like this.

Merciful heavens! I am gobsmacked! This thread is the very encapsulation of my most cherished hopes and dreams! As some of you know, I have sought rejection in all its ugly forms for most of my life, and I have been quite successful in finding it. Yes indeed. I have received countless rejections in the past 31 years, beginning very shortly after I emerged from the birth canal, and I remember each one of them. I keep lists of them in my little blue book.

I am stunned reading this list, however, to discover that there are more than 15 forms of rejection here that I have not yet been subjected to! And here I thought I had achieved mastery.

Well, it is fortunate that I am only 31 years old. There is much time left to complete my collection, and this thread has given me the inspiration I sorely needed. I am in your collective debt.

I intend to begin tomorrow. Joy! Joy! New rejection is on the way, I can feel it in my bones.

p.s. I'm still single. I shall have to somehow secure a wife in order to experience some of the rejections listed here. That appears to be "Job 1". Wish me luck!

you call 'suicide hotline' and get put on hold, listening to Muzak. So, tired of waiting, you call back, then their answering machine hangs up on you.               
You try a third time and find the number is no longer in service.

you come home from the bar early, walking sideways and seeing double to find your wife in bed with another woman, but you know that your eyes are just playing tricks until you realize that there's four of them....

could be a song there....
