Well there you go. Not torture.
If she'd have strapped him down and pulled them all out a la Marathon Man, that would have been torture.

Hm. This might be indicative of why he dumped her crazy ass.

Or at least not be a lunatic about it. I'm sure he wishes she'd just stopped at being immature and drawn a dick on his cheek while he was unconscious or some other dumb frat boy schtick.

I have nightmares sometimes about having no teeth. This is like a horror movie.
Nope, it's things like this that make me think men and women are more similar than we give ourselves credit for. Not funny at all. She took advantage of him while unconscious, and given my past I'd have a special place in Hell for folks who do anything like that. To be fair, I might've filled his mouth full of something that tasted awful for when he woke up. I've been ragingly angry at an ex before. That would be as far as I went on the 'I want to murder him' impulse, and it's still not far enough.

Yeah, there's nothing funny about this. I feel so badly for the guy. He was trying to be professional and mature by not canceling his appointment just because they broke up...and she had to be a bitch. Beyond bitch actually. I mean...malicious.
How do people think these things? I've been cheated on and hurt and left...and something like this would never cross my mind! Granted, I probably would have canceled the appointment, no matter which side I was on - the dentist ex-girlfriend or the patient ex-boyfriend - but still.

I know, right? I think it's pathetic when people do shit like this. Like the guy is gonna be all, "well, you're right, it was horrible of me to dump you! can you forgive me!" So I guess I do think this is funny, only she's the one I'm laughing at, not him.

Good point, Celiea. What exactly WAS her thought process?

I've been dumped before. And all I wanted to do by way of revenge was become very wealthy, somehow get taller and better looking, and show up at the same party as my ex-girlfriend with a gorgeous lady on my arm. Somehow the idea of pulling teeth never occurred to me. (Come to think of it, pulling teeth would have more likely been successfully accomplished than what I daydreamed about.)

geez all I did to my X was call and not leave a message.
I think it's horrible too. I hope she can never practice dentistry again. The end of the article says his new girl dumped him for not having teeth. He needs to find a better class of woman. I also have nightmares where my teeth are falling out. What's worse is the later ones - I am not alarmed in my dream. I read somewhere it means I feel out of control in my life, so what does it mean if it's normal?

This. I think people's reaction to this is in part because the whole concept of what she did was so out there. I mean, we all have said something like, "I'd kill you if you cheated on me" but we all know that the other person wouldn't commit murder. This is like a dark comic movie plot. But i doubt it's funny at all to the guy with no teeth and like Jcomp said, if she's capable of doing this, it might speak to why he broke up with her.

Of course what she did was terrible and wrong and she should be punished for it. However, I'm going to have to insist that letting your ex stick sharp objects in your mouth is a pretty damn stupid thing to do. I'd feel the same way if the victim were a woman and the dentist a man.
In a perfect world people would always be trustworthy and in control of their baser instincts. In the real world, this is right up there with letting a stranger in a white van give you a ride.

It's a pretty common nightmare, usually associated with fear of impotence. The teeth are one of our primary tools of dealing with the environment, they help us process food into a shape that is easier to pass. It's normal to feel no fear during the dream, the horror comes when you wake up and think about the implications of it.

Having my wisdom teeth out wasn't bad. I had good drugs, fell asleep on the ice pack, so the swelling & bruising were kept to a minimum and had no complications.
I still wouldn't want to do it again, and I knew it was coming. Can't imagine going in for a filling and coming out gumming my food. As for exes, my ex-fiance and I are good friends. He's my computer go-to guy. I think I could trust him to do no harm. |

Haha, yeah. This story is *hilarious*.
I got a better one. One time, this friend of mine - he's a doctor who specializes in knee replacements. One of the best in the country. So, he got dumped by this girl and - 6 months later - she needs to have her knees replaced. But, see, he gets MAD. So, get this, rather than replace her knees, he amputates both her legs and throws them in the garbage. Now this girl can't walk again for the rest of her life. Isn't that a fucking riot? Talk about the price you pay for leaving a man. Seriously people. Grow up. Mharvey, in one of his rare pissy moods.
