OK so a friends husband has just walked out and shacked up with his bit of trash leaving two small children too boot.

He is showing no remorse and little concern for the impact its having on the DCs, more worried about himself

Need some suggestions for anonomous revenge, stuff to piss him off, dent his ego, hurt him a bit

Any ideas? All very welcome. Apologies if there is a better board for this, do direct me off

i think he will realise very soon what a big mistake he has made, and your friend can take great pleasure in not taking him back, moving on and being happy. That would be the ultimate revenge

Don't spend time having negative thoughts about him. Help your friend to look forward to good times

Help her get over him and what he done to her, help her decide what she wants to do and support her with the divorce if thats what she wants and completely blank him!

Apart from supporting your friend, you could
sign him up for all sorts of junk mail/websites of the sort "grow a bigger willy"
you used to be able to buy a gift-wrapped cubic foot of elelphant poo from Chester zoo - don't know if they still do it

I dont suppose you could get hold of his underpants at all and put itching powder in them? Teeheehee. Imagine that, his bit on the side will think he has some nasty STI and probably dump him, either way he certainly wont be getting any, rand preferably before an important meeting or interview!

Revenge is a waste of your friends energy and likely to backfire anyway. THe best revenge is for her to get over him in double quick time...look fab, move on...do well.

Computer generate a letter apparently from the local hospital, with STD clinic written on the envelope indiscreetly enough for the OW to notice.

Grin Some of these ideas are funny, and it's nice to imagine...

BUT you could ultimately cause even more trouble and heartache for your friend especially if he suspects it's her playing these 'pranks' or he finds out its you and thinks you put her up to it.

Just put your time and energy into supporting your friend.

Someone I know ordered a load of coal to be delivered to the target's garden. Don't know who got the bill, though.

I find revenge fantasies, never actually acted upon, are the best way to go.

Share them with your friend over a glass of wine, and make her laugh. Her being happy and getting over him with the help of her friends is the best revenge.

onebigchoc, you promise not to really do any of these don't you? Just have fun imagining? I did do something very childish to an ex when white hot furious, in retrospect it was a tiny bit funny but mostly mortifying.

NorkyPies · 30/03/2012 21:33

The problem is that you don't get to see their reaction, which undermines the whole point really. I agree that fantasising about it with your friend would probably be more satisfying.

I have never done the revenge on an ex thing personally. Sometimes knowing that they are kicking themselves in the balls cos they have lost me is enough! [shrugs shoulders]

Although there are people I would like to get revenge with. Shall we start our revenge fantasies?

I seem to recall that a certain someone once gave an ow a call and, purporting to be a sw attached to a 'special clinic' at a well-known hospital, urged her to attend for examination that same day as her name had been given by a certain Mr X as one of a number of women he had recently had intimate relations with when his tests proved positive.

I also seem to recall that the story had it that Mr X had asked for the necessary calls to be made to spare his blushes and confidentiality prevented the alleged sw from revealing the precise nature of the actual venereal disease he had spread aroundcontracted.

If the twat is a lover of chocolate pudding and is in the habit of dropping by to visit the dc, purely in the spirit of good fun I would suggest that his dw cooks up a pud for all the family - and makes him a special portion of chocolate sauce from a large bar of melted Ex-Lax with a touch of cream and sugar whisked in and poured on to his helping of said pud before it goes to table.

All's fair in love and war and opportunity for hilarity knows no bounds.

Cut the zippers out of all his trousers? Difficult if he's completely moved out...

Really, really stupid idea, OP.

Don't do it. It NEVER helps. Revenge is NOT a good idea, fantasise about it by all means but your friend is very much likely to regret it if she carries it out.

He's gone, he doesn't love her anymore and there is nothing she can do to hurt him anything like the way he has hurt her so she will never get even and just succeed in making a fool of herself if she tries any of these childish pranks. Far better to keep her dignify and determinedly move on without him.
