Good point. You could also call the airline to confirm the reservation to see if its actually been booked.
 
if i were you i woud not even respond to him to tell him u are not going to take the ticket. just act like you never got any of his emails.

the best thing to do is ignore the guy. and hope he does not know wher eyou live! 😛

You should be home for Christmas, especially if your Dad is still not feeling well

Have a good trip home, take care of everyone, especially Amanda [my youngest sister].

Love always

I'm still stumped on what to write back. "Thank you, but no thank you" seems a little too... weak.
 
Dezign, it could be even worse than him being at the airport. What if he decided buy the seat next to you. You would then be at his mercy for SEVERAL HOURS and he might even follow you home to your family. Don't play around with this, or you'll seriously regret it.

Edit: After reading that bit about your sister I must say, GET A RESTRAINING ORDER NOW FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
 
what a dilemma...but I would take the ticket 😀
use him while you can. but I know it is not ethical.

how about a donation from this board? sure some members on this board will contribute for your ticket to home. 🙂

If Dezigns stalker is reading this, I just wanna say hi. I need a ticket to Boston and I've got my own set of kneepads. PM me please.

Yeah, all we ask is a month's worth of dezigncam.com in return.

LOL... 🙂 Thanks, humorous interlude appreciated.
 
JUST TAKE THE TICKET. I changed my opinion on this one. Hopefully he isn't a complete TOOL and just wants to send you back home. Nothing wrong with taking the ticket.
 
What a moron. Here's what you do. Tell him you only fly first class. He will either get pissed and not talk to you again, or buy it. If he buys it he deserves to get whats coming to him.

I don't know. The way she described him, he's been harrassing her family to the point where they had to change their phone number.

Apparently, you haven't read some of the earlier stuff Dezign posted about this guy.

Why? She has a job, it's not our problem that she has the financial sense of a child.


Anyone who gives her money is an idiot.

Exactly. This thread REEKS of attention whoreness. Christ, woman, you know quite well it would be idiotic to accept his invitation; why bother posting a moronic thread about it? I mean, are you that daft that you'd ACTUALLY consider taking him up on his offer? Yes, we all know you want to see your family, but come on... this is retarded.

Anyway, you seem to post threads constantly about all the great times you have at the clubs, could you not have forseen a need to save precious money in order to travel home?

I have no sympathy for you, and I can see straight through your thinnly-veiled attempts at further attention.
 
Here's what I think he's going to do: he's going to fly out from Boston to LAX, and then he's going to be on your flights to and from home!!!

DO NOT ACCEPT OR USE THE TICKETS. You'd be an idiot to accept gifts from a stalker. Hasn't stuff like this happened enough on TV and in movies for people to realize that you NEVER try to reason with someone who's crazy? It will never work out in the end. DO NOT ACCEPT THE TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah so this guy sounds like a d1ck... just take the ticket because this guy sounds like the biggest TOOL anyways and he needs to be used. YOu can consider the ticket a PAYBACK for all the crap he put you [dezign] and her family through.

I personally wouldn?t take the ticket out of moral?there must be a way to change the ticket to another time/date if you decide to use it.
 
UPDATE 2: *sigh* Thank you for the feedback and advice. At this point, I'm trying to decide on an appropriate response. Still can't believe the lengths some people will go to in order to attempt to salvage something lost long, long ago.

Hi,

Sad thing is, he probably feels that there is something there to salvage ! (people are nutz)

Anywayz, good luck with your Christmas plans whatever you do, i know you will make the best of things!

AJ.
 
how about "Thanks, but a friend of mine died in a massive siezure that took out several babies, and I have to go to his funeral. Cancel the ticket if you like"
