I was downtown a week or so ago and drove past the employer of someone I went out with (someone who dumped me via email with the classic “not ready to be in a relationship” statement and then got married 2 months later).  I realized that my wish should be true by now.  They are long gone.  Sadly, I didn’t get to banish them.  I suppose you could say that they banished themselves. They got married and moved away.

Last night I happened to be stalking surfing around on the interwebs and discovered another person I had dated (and sent this email) had treated me to a little self-banishment.  They referred to it as grad school.

It’s not like I want to hire a hit man and have these people taken out (I don’t want to go to jail).  I just want to avoid running into them at all costs.  If I wanted discomfort I would wear thongs.  Ideally, I would be able to just banish them to some deserted island.  Something like the Island of Misfit Toys.

If you could banish someone, who would it be and why?
