This was when I was in grad school the first time. I was madly, painfully, totally unrequitedly in love with one of my classmates. This had been going on for about a year when a new student joined the school. She seemed lonely, so I took her under my wing, introduced her to people, even invited her to have Thanksgiving with my family when she said how sad she was that she had no one to have Thanksgiving with.
Eventually, I confided in her about my unrequited thing and how painful I found it. Soon afterward, she started dating him. That's not the mean part. The mean part is that she started telephoning me solely to give me graphic, blow-by-blow descriptions of all the sex they were having. This was so boggling (and hurtful) that I couldn't even figure out if she was just clueless or what at first. I tried telling her I didn't want to hear about it, but she kept on doing it. In the middle of one call, the shoe finally dropped, and I realized that she knew exactly what she was doing and was sadistically getting off on my pain. I hung up and never spoke to her again.
To this day, I have no idea why she did it. Maybe she was a sociopath.
