Anatomy of a 'Pop Up'

Confession: I have pulled a Pop Up once in my life...

What is a Pop Up: Showing up to your boo-thang's spot unexpected, unannounced, uninvited, and possibly unwelcome.

Why Pop Ups Happen: Discord in relationships.

Parties Involved: The uninvited Popper...The unsuspecting Pop-ee...The voice of reason friend...The instigating friend(s)

My Pop Up story is kind of typical. Many...many...many years ago. I pulled my one and only pop up. Honestly...there was no suspicion when I pulled the Pop Up. I wasn't trying to catch the guy in anything... I only wanted to continue a conversation we'd had earlier in the week. My ex-boyfriend and I had broken up. We had just started back talking to each other. I talked to my girls about it (big mistake LOL) and they encouraged the Pop Up. As a matter of fact them heiffas suggested it! LOL

I had never pulled a Pop Up before...ever...Never wanted to. I always thought they were crazy anyway...

Sadly...I had no voice of reason in this matter...because I didn't speak to the reasonable voices in my life about it at the time. HA! (You know when you really want to do something, you always talk to the people who will encourage the foolishness...the "yes men/women".)

However, he and I had fallen out over something so stupid. So when we were speaking again, I wanted to talk face to face. I happened to be on my way through his city coming back from an event. So I pulled off the highway and into his neighborhood.

Of course, when I showed up he was a bit thrown off. I was under the mistaken belief that we could actually have a conversation...uh...no!

He was pissed. He renewed the old argument we had that led to the break up...Then he insulted me. I'm looking at him like "fool...you have lost your mind!" The same look he gave me when he opened the door.. LOL

Moral of the story: Pop Ups are for fools! Because foolishness almost always follows a Pop Up


HAVE YOU EVER PULLED A POP UP...OR HAD ONE PULLED ON YOU? What happened?
