You can turn your other cheek or you can draw whiskers on theirs with a permanent marker while they’re asleep. Some people choose to simply walk away after a break-up, others choose to go to war with a very creative cache of ammunition.
Maybe they lied, cheated, or left you at the alter. Whatever atrocity they committed, they best believe revenge is waiting around the corner – ready to pounce when they least expect it. If you’re pondering ways to make your ex pay for their sins, you’re in luck. Someone recently asked, “What’s the pettiest thing you ever done after a break up?” and people weren’t shy to admit the times they refused to be the bigger person.
From putting an entire bag of sugar in his protein powder before a big bodybuilding competition, to canceling his passport the day before an important flight, some of these acts prove that hell hath no fury as a woman (or man) scorned. Bored Panda has compiled a list of the most ridiculous, petty, hilarious and savage responses for you to scroll through while you plot your own road to revenge.

For legal reasons: I didn’t do it (jet). He forgot his second car key at my apartment. For weeks I drove to his place at night (I work night shifts, so I’m awake a lot at night) and parked his car at another place. Not very far away. Just far enough to drive him crazy and doubting his own sanity.

Out of nowhere, he decided he didn’t want to be with me anymore after five years. And proceeded to kick me out of the house. Little did he know I took everything I bought. Which was literally everything in that house. All the way down to the towels, the blankets, the soap, the dishes. He had nothing left in that house when I left.

When he told me he was visiting his kids for Christmas and I found out he was actually married. I found his wife’s phone number, waited until he came back and invited him over to order take out and watch a movie. Asked him if he was married and gave him the chance to fess up, he didn’t so I FaceTimed his wife in the room with him. She filed for divorce the following month.

found out from a friend he’s on tinder under a different name. Created my own tinder account with fake name, photos of some random hot girl. Super liked him and he took the bait.. then proceeded to toy with him for about a week until i got bored. And then set up a meetup date… at this point he was begging me for my number – i gave my real number… few minutes later I get a text saying “guess it’s safe to assume we’re over”

He moved out but kept turning up unannounced to use the garage. It had a padlock and he didn’t give me a key. One day he left the padlock unlocked so I took this opportunity to replace it with an exact replica. I will forever be disappointed I didn’t see his face when his key no longer worked

Fast forwarded almost all of his Netflix shows he was currently watching. Finished movies. Started watching things like Taylor Swift, kids shows, rom coms etc. anything he hated. I spent five hours messing with his algorithms across Netflix and YouTube. I deleted his YouTube history which he commonly used as well as his playlists. Honestly, I would not have done it if I was sober. Felt mild shame but also satisfaction in the days and weeks that followed.
