According to Greek legend, the first woman, Pandora, was actually sent as a curse to Zues' men (See, you knew it was true, guys) and was given a present upon her marriage. The present was a box that she was told never to open. Needless to say her curiosity got the better of her (like eating forbidden fruit) and she unleashed eight demons unto the world. The first seven being the seven deadly sins, and the last, which she managed to capture, was hope.
Today, much like christianity's idea of biting forbidden fruit, opening pandora's box refers to getting into a situation over which one has very little control over.

"...Honestly, I don't care where you end up from here, but either grow up, or get out of my life.
p.s. just so I'm clear, we were friends, but I don't and never have liked you more than that. Feeling that way about me is pointless, nothing will ever happen between us. Find someone else and be happy!... now let me ask one last thing: how close DID you think we were? I considered you a friend, i didnt think we were as close as it seems you thought we were..."
Becky: Yeah, he sent all that and more in a stupid fucking facebook message.
Sharon: Wow, what a douchebag.
Becky: Yeah, and the sucky thing was that my mom went in and changed my password on my Facebook account because I was grounded and I didn't read this until a week after he sent it when I got my password back. I wish I was still grounded so that I would not have known what he had said.
Sharon: Hmmm, sounds like a message from Pandora's In-box.
