Used, Abused, and Then Forgotten – Like That One Sock in the Laundry

You ever feel like you’ve been used, abused, and then completely forgotten—like yesterday’s spaghetti in the back of the fridge or that one unmatched sock who’s still waiting for its partner to come home from the war?

Oh brother, let’s talk about it.

You gave your time, your energy, your last two brain cells to help someone out. You said, “Sure, I’ll help!” with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated squirrel, thinking you were doing a noble thing. Fast forward to today and suddenly—poof!—they’ve ghosted you faster than your motivation on a Monday morning.

You, my dear, are now officially “The Forgotten Hero”. The side character in someone else’s main story. The disposable chopstick of human interaction.

Remember when they were blowing up your phone like it was a Blackpink concert ticket drop? “Hey bestie! You’re a lifesaver!” And now? You’re sitting there refreshing your messages like:

👀 Did they die? Did I die? Are we all dead?

Nah, bro They just “got busy.” Busy being ungrateful, probably.

And let’s not forget the classic:

“Can you cover for me just this once?”

—18 times later, you’re practically managing their life like you’re their unpaid intern from Craigslist.

But it’s fine. You’re not bitter. You're just emotionally lactose intolerant now—you can't deal with that much cheese anymore.

So here’s to you:

The unsung hero.

The emotionally recyclable plastic bottle.

The human Google search who never got credit.

The legend who showed up, showed out, and then got shown the door.

But don’t worry, sweet potato. Karma's got a filing system, and she never forgets. In the meantime, keep slaying, keep laughing, and if all else fails—start charging consultation fees.

Cheers to being unforgettable, even when they try to forget you.
