Some things in life are for certain: death, taxes, and getting rejected by a prospective love interest. The silver lining is that it happens to everyone and that there is plenty of fish in the sea.
However, there are those who take things too far — who treat getting shut down as an affront to their very existence as opposed to one of life's little growing pains. With that in mind, take a look at these 21 weird things that happened to women after they rejected someone.
