We could get your DVD player back and then do an extreme home make over IASIP style.

$70!!!! Come on we're supposed to be like one big happy family here. You guys need to find him and get it back for her. He sounds like a clingy pain, your way to strong for a guy like that Doc.

I agree, keep your Dad out of it. See now I'm getting pissed about this, the more I think about it the more angry I'm getting.
I would totally loot my family's fridge for $70 worth of food after the deed was done.

I would totally charge my family for the same services, or atleast loot their fridge for $70 worth of food after the deed was done.
Beer is also an acceptable currency.

$70 worth of beer and canned chili. Do we have a deal or what? I'll even throw in the guy's curtains.

He leaves work a 4:30 every day. If I don't get it by 4:30 then I'm not going to ever ask about it again.

The hardest part is being nice about it. Or at least, not being a total [expletive]. If I demand it he'll decide he "has to win the game" and he'll refuse to give it to me.

The good part is at 4:30 I'm over it. Regardless. If I get it back or not. I'm over it.

I wasn't serious about getting your dad involved.

What I'd really like to know is how this DVD player hostage situation plays out in his head. Having zero self-awareness sounds like fun.

I'd just buy another one at a pawn shop for $70 before I'd do that.

Honestly, he knows that once I have it back - he has no ties to me. I won't need anything from him anymore. He doesn't want to give it up because then he knows it is really over.

At least that what I think is going on in his head. I could be wrong though.

That's what I'd assume as well, given how much of a needy lunatic he sounds like. But what then? I want to know what he thinks the next step is. Maybe to him just having someone leave you angry voicemails is better than nothing at all, but if there's an endgame where things work out then I think that's fascinating.
