I always thought it was funny how two people in love will do absolutely anything for each other…until they break up. And then they hate each other’s guts. This isn’t always true, but it is almost always true when one of the people in the relationship has cheated.
That sort of betrayal leads to a lot of anger and resentment. How could it not? It’s natural to want to get revenge on someone who deceived you and made a fool out of you. And some great revenge stories came of this AskWomen Reddit thread started by u/AstrologicalSin who asked, “What is the pettiest thing you have done after a breakup?” Don’t get any ideas…or do.

I waited until fifteen minutes before the new season of game of thrones started to change the password on my hbo account that I knew he was still using.—u/MultinucleateClub

In 2010, I found out my fiancé had been having an affair with our neighbor (for the past six months), 2 weeks before our wedding. His best man broke down and told me.
For 8 years, I have been giving creepy dudes my ex’s phone number instead of mine. His sister always texts me his new phone number when he changes it. She also sends photos and video of him losing his mind angry when he gets a call from a dude looking for a hookup. 😂
His sister is the real MVP here, though.—u/TepiKhan

The Ex cheated on me after 12 years with someone he met at work. When that went sour he lost his job and ended up falling behind on his car payment. The repo company had my place as his last known address, so when they showed up here looking for the car I invited them in, used Facebook to get them as much info on The Ex and New Girlfriend as possible, gave them his parent’s address and sent them on their way with a smile.—u/[retracted]

I loosened the seams in all his pants and shorts so that as soon as he sat they’d rip open on him. It’s been 10 years and that still makes me laugh—u/gasoline_rainbow

He repeatedly cheated on me with multiple women so I had my pregnant roommate piss on a test and then just dropped it at his front door. No note, no way to know who it came from. The panic was real.—u/emmett_crab

He always spoke about how he hated his dad for cheating & lying to his mom, so when I find out he cheated on me with multiple women I went to his apartment and found a photo of us on his bedside table & wrote “Just like your daddy” on it. I also took all his toilet paper & hand soap because even though he was the 25 year old man with a job & I was a 19 year old college student he apparently couldn’t buy his own sh—t & I had to buy it for him. So technically it was mine.—u/alelizeth

I put prawns in his curtain pole.—u/hongkonghenry

I let my ex keep our cat we got together (after he begged me) only to have him call me a month later saying he didn’t want the cat anymore. When I went to get the cat from our old house, I found that my ex hadn’t cleaned the cat litter since before I moved out! I was mostly mad for the kittens sake.
Honestly I doubt my ex took care of him at all. A fight broke out after he refused to clean the litter up so I ended up dumping the whole litter box right on his living room floor.
Then I stormed out with the litter box in one arm and the cat in the other. Side note – Kitten is 6 now. Found out my ex and his friends were awful to the poor little guy so I’m glad I took him when I did ☺️—u/shannadean

Cut the sleeve off of a dress shirt the other woman had bought him and put it back in the closet so only the good arm was showing. Got a text from him a couple weeks later that simply said ‘are you f—king serious!?’ … Yes… Yes I am—u/HuskyMeekah

I still use my exes phone number for his Walgreens card. He’s so stingy I know he’ll never redeem any of his points so I randomly get $5/$10 off at Walgreens.—u/ButterflyApathetic
