I think just about anything would have less of an impact than getting everything you ever gave someone dumped on a table in a coffee shop ;-)

    She brought it all to a cafe where I was having coffee with a friend and dumped everything on the table, quite officially and publically unfriending me. I'm happy to say that after 20 years, she is now a best friend again.
-This btw, falls in the category of something women would do but men never would. I realize this sounds sexist, but it's just true. For all of the sensitivities that women are reported to have and men lack, I see far more functionality in male friendships. Maybe just my perspective...?
