An update on the ex who won't give me my stuff back...

 After not hearing from her for a day, I texted her asking if she planned on responding or was just going to ignore me. She told me she was at work.
 
I waited another 24 hours. I texted her again asking about my stuff. She texted me back asking how "pressing" it was that I got my stuff back.
 
"First off, it doesn't matter how pressing it is. It is my stuff. I don't need an excuse to have it back. Second, it is very pressing as the book is very dear to me. I could care less about the shirt. But I want the book. It was on the dresser next to your bed last I saw."
 
Waited about 6 hours and there was no response. I finally texted her

"Listen, you have a very real opportunity here to keep this civil. I'm leaving this ball in your court. I am kindly requesting that you allow me to retrieve my book. I have your shirt and commemorative plate. I will leave both of those things with your key on the front porch. All you have to do is leave the book on the porch and let me know when I should stop by."
 
About 10 minutes later she responded with "I'll look for it tomorrow and let you know."
 
After almost a day, I asked again if she had found the book. She said she had not.
 
It has now been an additional day and still no response.

I'm not entirely certain what to do now. I had a brief inspiration to simply let myself into her house when she is away and get the book myself. But I came to the conclusion that this may end up like an episode of Cops.

I hope she never gives it back.

There's a lot of things I left at old girlfriends houses when I was dating many moons ago, but books and commemorative plates were never on the menu. Clothing, yeah.

Please do it, DUmmy!  I want to hear the aftermath.

Who gives a shit about James Baldwin? She can tear the pages out and use them to wipe her butt.

[Mr Mannn]

Clue to DUmmy: Buy a new Book. Just let this one go.
I'm thinking Gravity is playing the game, "Find excuses to keep talking to my Ex."

Knowing its so dear to you, she may well have thrown it away.

I hope she washed his bong with anti-freeze.

Out of curiosity, I nadin'ed James Baldwin, mostly because I'd never heard of him. a hack only a DUmbshit could love.  Me thinks the "professor" that gave him the book was really the DUmmy's pitcher.

YEEEEESH...

She probably also knows that the DUmmie is a DUmmie and might not take kindly to it airing this laundry on the island.

It might help if the primitive named the title of the book, and explained a little why it's so important to him (after all, books are just paper and cloth), after which we could decide whether or not to feel sorry for him.

Sounds like the ex-girlfriend may well have cause for a restraining order to prevent stalking if this goes on much longer.

You're onto something, milady.

[hillneck]

Typical whining, bitching primitive over something so insignificant in the whole scheme of life in general.  Hey DUmbass, go to the used bookstore and get another one for a dollar.

Probably Dreams From My Father by the Incompetent In Chief.

Get it on Kindle.

Then you can download it to all your electronic devices.

My thoughts also

I hope that she's stalling until she has the opportunity to wipe her ass or smear a booger on every single page before she gives it back to him.

This is waaay off topic, but when I worked for Hewlett Packard and we got laptops back with vomit or other body fluids on them, they were dropped into a bag labeled 'Biohazard' and returned to the customer.  I had one that had been vomited on... it was pretty bad.

She probably already changed the locks, so is in no big hurry to get the key that he's going to leave on her porch.

Only a DUmmie would suggest leaving a house key on the front porch.

^^ Good point, Chica.  What got me was he provided everyone with an "update" as if hordes were waiting around in suspense on how the drama was going.  Nobody cares, douchebag.

Look at me...Look at me.  I'm a passive aggressive punk who's ex-girlfriend is making me her sissy bitch.

If you can't give her an orgasm you should at least give her a book.

[Gina]

a book and plate?  really?  that's all that they had between them?

Seriously right? And she must really loathe him to keep avoiding him like that over a couple items. My ex husband and I still have things we mutually own and pass back and forth for our homes(tools). I can't imagine quibbling over a book or someone being unwilling to see someone to not give it back. I'd bet that's what it is when he suggested dropping it on the porch.

We all know the cops are in the bushes waiting for him to use the key!

When dealing with DUmmies it would be best to give the book back in person with a witness. His ex is at work, the Dummy is not....I am sure she has more pressing things to deal with, I am sure he will get his book back...what a DUmbass Dummy.
