Well, Kabu, she certainly didn't want to be old fashioned about it...

Re: Why 36?
Maybe she just got the old voice mail run-around, Sira. "If you want to buy a ticket, press 1; if you want to phone in a bomb threat, press 2;...

I'm for the Paul Simon rewrite, Naut. It's "fifty ways to leave your lover
... with 36 of them being bomb threats..." (sound of acoustic guitar). You know, I can hear Paul actually doing that... Anyway, great post. What the hell is wrong with some people? It would have been a whole lot simpler if she had said, "Look, dude, I don't want to see you any more, so don't make this more difficult than it should be. Don't make me have to call in 36 bomb threats to make you see that it's over..."

I will never understand the thinking of crazy people who make bomb threats. Where I worked, a disgruntled employee called in three different bomb threats on different nights, causing a lot of lost time, energy, cost to the bomb squad, and upset patients. It didn't take them long to figure out who did it. She was arrested with similar charges to what you mention. I wonder if getting the satisfaction was worth it.

Why 36?
Didn't the airline believe her the first time?
Or do you have to make multiple calls before they'll take you seriously. If so, then what's special about #36--why not round it off to a nice, even 40 calls?
"...if you're diligent enough to call us 40 times and make threats, we'll send someone 'round to deal with it..."
Or, maybe they did believe her the first time, but they couldn't locate the mystery package. Then, naturally she'd have to call back, to keep them on the right track with the hunt for the invisible bomb.
Either way--it would have been way easier for her to just send the poor guy an email.

Whenever I wanted to get rid of a boyfriend, I just invited him over
for a home-cooked meal. If the food didn't do it, I started talking about weddings and commitments, saving up for a down payment on a house, what to name our first baby. Unfortunately, that's not enough to discourage
every guy.

Some people simply can't leave 'well enough' alone! This is a fun blog, thanks.

of course, I mean reasoning, not raisoning (now that I have to be careful with proper spelling).

I don't think I can even see the logic into her raisoning and I'm a woman! People are so strange; a simple call to one of those "break-up" companies would have been less expensive and, much more to the point! Ha, weirdos.
