When a partner does something wrong, there are a few ways to react. Some people choose to talk it out, some get angry, and others decide to get revenge. For example, one woman poured syrup all over the floor after her boyfriend invited his drunk friends over on a weeknight. Another man revealed his cheating ex’s secret to her mother, creating a scandal for the whole family. Sometimes, getting even feels better than just taking the high road. Here are some creative revenge stories from the internet that show how a little pettiness can lead to clever payback.
1 An Ex-Husband Faces Consequences One woman dealt with her husband cheating and disrespecting her for two years before she left him. He didn’t take care of their bills, so she had to sell their house and his truck alone. When she left, there was a $400 phone bill they shared. She paid the overdue bill but asked him to pay her $200 for his part. He only gave her $90 and laughed when she asked for the rest, saying he didn’t owe her anything. Later, she found out she was overpaying for her phone service because she was still charged $40 a month for his phone. He didn’t transfer the balance when he switched to his own account because he didn’t sign the necessary paperwork. After explaining this to him, he agreed to a conference call with customer service to fix it. After 20 minutes, he claimed he didn’t know what she was talking about and hung up. She called customer service again and learned that the phone was still in her name. She reported it stolen, and now it is flagged and turned off.
2 My Phone Number Was Stolen One woman discovered that her ex had taken her phone number after they had a shared phone plan. She didn’t realize the trouble it could cause until a friend asked why her ex was answering her phone. She found out her phone was off and couldn’t make or receive calls because he reported her phone’s number as stolen and transferred it to a new SIM card he had. Now all her calls and texts were going to him. She got a new phone and number on her own plan and warned her friends not to call her old number because he could see their numbers. Then, she created a fake account on Facebook and posted about wanting dates, giving out her real name and the number he had taken from her. Many men called from different area codes! He said he had to turn the phone off because it was ringing nonstop and even asked if she wanted the SIM card with her old number. She said no, that’s his number now.
3 A Disturbing Night with Friends One woman’s boyfriend came home late one weeknight with four of his loud, drunk friends, knowing she had to work the next day. She really disliked those friends and hated uninvited guests, so she went to the bedroom hoping to sleep, but she couldn’t. He is a total neat freak and can’t relax in a messy place.
