Storage, Ipswich – the Perfect Revenge
Breakups can be rough on all involved, especially on the person who gets broken up with. This happened to a friend of mine not too long ago; he moved this girl in with him, they were going to get married, they’d even bought a cat, and what happens? She dumps him – not just dumps him, but dumps him for his best friend. This ‘best friend’ wasn’t me, I hasten to add, but you get the idea – it was a serious ‘dude, your life sucks’ moment. What do you do in a situation like that? Revenge, obviously. In this case, storage Ipswich featured heavily.
See, there are loads of ways to handle a breakup: there’s pining for the girl, there’s getting drunk all the time and walking through town at 3am with a bunch of people you don’t know (but who all have really cool hair) and singing ‘The Passenger’ at the top of your voice, there’s fighting her new beau, there’s sleeping with her friends, there’s loads of things. When it came to my friends’ situation though, we decided that we had to get a little meaner than that.
Their place was quite expensive and he doesn’t have the greatest job in the world, and she left in a hurry, leaving a load of her stuff behind. Do you sell everything of hers in a situation like that before she comes back? No, but there’s nothing wrong with making her think that, or, more accurately, think the place was burgled. The day before she came back to the old flat to pick her stuff up, we hired some storage in Ipswich (it’s a flippin’ huge room) and loaded everything into it.
When I say everything, I mean everything. Every. Single. Thing in that flat went into the van (it took three trips) and went into storage in Ipswich. The look on her face when she turned up was priceless; probably as good as my friends’ was when she dumped him for his mate.
The ultimate plan isn’t certain – maybe we’ll take it out of storage; Ipswich has plenty of places we could sell her stuff – or maybe we’ll just gradually post it back to her. The possibilities are endless.
Ultimately, nothing was resolved by this, but it made him feel better and in a situation like this, that’s the most important thing.
