Today, I lost my car keys, so I asked my ex-husband if he still had his spare to my car. He said he'd send it. I got an empty envelope with a troll face on it. There's a reason I left him. FML

We had a very amicable divorce. I'll admit I laughed a bit, but waiting on that key cost me cab and bus fare, when I could have called the locksmith I'll have to call anyway.

Send him an envelope back with a hand made receipt of what you spent on that cab and bus fare. The note attached can be whatever you want but you can just say "You now owe me [insert amount here] for costing me time and money with your trolling. I'll be taking my payment from you when you least expect it. Have a great day." - or doing nothing works too if you don't want to "start" something with your ex.

i guarantee even after this post you'll still get comments saying 'what a dick, you're better off without him'. it's good that you're still able to be civil but it was still harsh for him not to help you out when it's serious

@74 You know I am still trying to figure out how it cost her anything. He sent an envelope, so it was most likely mailed or sent by messenger, right? That takes some time. The OP would likely have had to pay for a cab anyway, unless she just didn't need to go anywhere until the envelope arrived, but then, why was she looking for her car keys if she didn't need to go somewhere? The fact of the matter is that having to take a cab and/or having to call a locksmith is just the natural consequence of losing your car keys. The ex-husband is not responsible for the OP losing her keys, and he is not responsible for bailing her out of the trouble she gets herself into.

The thing is the OP has already paid for a couple of days of cab/bus travel, but now she still has to call a locksmith, and still has to pay for cab/bus if she needs to go somewhere before the locksmith can handle it. Had her ex not deceived her, she'd go straight for the locksmith and pay only pay these latter costs.

@81 Had she not lost her keys in the first place, she also wouldn't be eating the expense. The same could be said if she had just called the locksmith instead of her ex. It isn't his responsibility to fix her problems, so she shouldn't have bothered him with it anyway.

If you really don't get how cost of one cab ride+locksmith is less than cost of several cab rides+locksmith, then I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Well you DID lose the car keys first.

Why would he have the spare key in the first place? Unless the two of you are sharing the car, I do not see why the owner (OP) does not have both keys.

He probably never returned it. They were married once and possibly shared the car.

He definitely screwed you over by making you waste money on cab and bus fare but you should have gotten the keys back during the divorce. FYL but YDI. And for everyone who said she divorced him for his sense of humor are you guys kidding? He may be a jerk but that's pretty damn amusing.
