This landed as the Top Weirdest story (of the top 100) tracked by Dugg for 2009, although it actually took place in the summer of 2007, which is when our protagonist, JD, went on a two-week backpacking trip in Europe. Since he wouldn't be able to use his cell phone and wasn't going to be checking his emails, he informed all the people close to him -- including Em, his girlfriend -- that they weren't going to be able to get in touch with him for a while.

Apparently, Em didn't get the message, beginning a hilarious two-week chain of unanswered emails in which she grew more and more outraged by his lack of response.

As JD tours the old world, Em dumps him, takes him back, dumps him again, says a lot of scarily illogical things and brags about sleeping with another guy in retribution for his silent treatment. Finally, after running into JD's mom and realizing what has happened, Em professes her love for JD and begs and begs him not to read any of the emails.

Well JD did read the emails, and he did dump Em because of them. But, being a gentleman, he waited two years before he released the emails to an eager Internet public. As one commenter put it, he especially appreciated the gesture, because he learned something: "If I ever marry, I'm first giving her the Europe test to make sure she's sane."

Enjoy.
