either this is total BS or epic fail from both sides... | epic fail is thinking you can't go on vacation for 12 days without checking email.
besides a death, what exactly would contacting me while in europe for 12 days do? 'OH SHIT THIS HAPPENED!'
"WELL THAT'S GREAT, I'M IN EUROPE FOR 10 MORE DAYS, FUCK OFF BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALSO THANKS FOR FUCKING UP MY TRIP WITH SHIT I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NOW"

Wouldn't you let loved ones know upon arrival to your destination and at various intervals in your trip that you're safe and sound?

this story just sounds too bs... i can understand not checking emails while on vacation... but shit how's it possible she had no clue he went on vacation unless he really was avoiding her
and why bring your phone if you're not gonna turn it on emergencies? just get a local phone/sim |

Smells like bullshit to me. I've never been backpacking in Europe, but I have been in the middle of shithole towns in China, and even they have internet cafes
My sister traveled halfway around the world - Africa, Cambodia, China, Europe, Mexico, and she always had internet.
So this is either a bullshit story to promote a blog, or these people are the two dumbest fucks on Earth.

|  I got a boner reading the story. I imagine his gf to be a hot blonde. I checked my email a few times when I was away out of the country. Guess he just really wanted to get away for 2 weeks.

undisputable fact
the gf is a retard
two things
(1) cellphone off = makes sense, backpacking = no check email = makes sense
(2) bf still should've kept gf up to date ~

I don't know any guy who would leave the country for two weeks and not contact anyone at home, ESP his gf or mom. Fail. Both deserve everything they got.

"WELL THAT'S GREAT, I'M IN EUROPE FOR 10 MORE DAYS, FUCK OFF BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALSO THANKS FOR FUCKING UP MY TRIP WITH SHIT I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NOW" | i don't know about you guys, but i've never met a girl that would let their bf's go on vacation and not expect any sort of contact for the entire duration that entails more than a couple of days.
say what you want about being "whipped", but is it not common courtesy to just let them know that you're still alive and haven't gotten robbed yet?
doesn't have to be a huge email, but just something like "arrived in paris ok, see you soon" or something like that...
i've never backpacked europe, but i've backpacked all over asia before and they have internet cafes all over the place, and even small-ass ghetto hostels have free internet

hahaha- I wouldn't be quick to judge that this video is fake. Honestly, you guys are giving the whole world WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much credit if you think that everyone has the least bit of common sense in them. A lot of people out there are dumber than you think they are. To believe that everyone has common sense is hilarious.
Common sense is a fucking rare skill that should be stated in our resume's skills section.

I think this video makes sense. The boyfriend did try to tell her, he said he was talking about it ALL the time before he left.
And being the horrible girlfriend that she is, she just totally forgets everything he said. Then goes and does something stupid.

How can she be so self-absorbed that she pays no mind to him, then all of a sudden be so clingy to death the day he leaves.
FAKE. Guy is an attention whore and wants his 15 secs of e-fame.
