Evening, Escapists, and welcome to another episode of Wasting Time With Potatoes.
As always, tonight's post is a rant/question. Feel free to skip the spoiler.
Here's the question, kiddies: have you done something petty in revenge for some (real or imagined) slight? What did you do, and why? How did it make you feel?

My boyfriend's sister-in-law died recently, and today was her funeral. I had the day off, so I spent it by the phone, thinking he might want to talk after the experience; as she and he were pretty close.
I waited for him, and texted a couple of times. I got one response to a text, and worried, gave him a call around 6:40 my time (which is 7:40 his). When he answered, he told me that he'd been transferring stuff to his new phone, and hadn't transferred my number yet. He assured me that he was doing all right (although hesitating a little before he said it), and told me he'd be online tonight. We hung up, and I've been online ever since.
Here's where the pettiness comes in: It's almost 3 am right now. I have to work in the morning, and I've been sitting on my computer for nearly 7 hours waiting for him to come online so we can talk.
Right now, I'm very tempted to just sign offline and go to bed. No offline message left on his IMs, no phone call, no text to say goodnight.
I waited up for him last night, and ended up passing out in front of the computer at 5 am without any message.
I hate it because it makes me feel like a clingy girlfriend when I realize that I keep looking hopefully at my phone when my text notification goes off, in the hopes that it's from him.
