Oh! The pain of it! "The most unkindest cut of all..." (Shakespeare)

The day that Gideon and Kermit ran off together was the most traumatic one in my life so far. I am still attempting to recover from it. If Winona rejects me, that will be the final nail in the coffin. I will bid adieu forever to this vale of tears, and depart from it in the most dramatic manner that I can devise...

"Then make my grave both wide and deep, put a marble stone at my head and feet, upon my breast put a white snow dove, to tell the world that I died for love!"

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.

- Wilfred Pennifere

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.
