To ask you for your best revenge ideas, real or imagined

Currently being dragged through the shit by the man buying my hugely abusive STBXH’s house.

As I’m the occupier and my name’s not on the deeds (“it’s my house, I paid for it”), I’ve essentially been used as a ping pong ball between these two gargantuan arseholes.

We finally exchanged today, after more than a year of absolute nonsense—delays, demands, slow drive-bys (complete with evil stares) and renegotiations.

With just under two weeks until we complete and I can finally leave this hellhole, I’m contenting myself with imagining all the terrible but legal revenge I could (but won’t) enact on these two festering boils on the bum cheeks of humanity.

And so to my AIBU: am I being unreasonable to ask you to share with me your most delicious ideas for revenge, whether they’re something you’ve done or something you’ve only fantasised about?

Please, vipers: help me get through the last 10 days in a house I never loved and never thought I’d be brave enough to leave.

PS: No bollocks about living well — I fully intend to after 16 years of abuse, but right now I want to indulge evil thoughts.

A friend of mine picked the hems on her partners T-shirts. He was a gym bro and taking a huge amount of steroids so as he got bigger they would’ve just fallen apart. She also unplugged the freezer on her way out so his protein packed meal prep was ruined

Prawns tucked into the hem of curtains.

Sew mustard and cress seeds in the carpets then water them in well.

Fish in/behind the radiators. Milk sprayed in carpets and fixtures and fittings.

If there's a macerator toilet pour copious amounts of bleach down so it wears out faster

Milk in a spray bottle and sprayed generously around the house and one furniture. I saw this post from a lawyer who does a whole Instagram thing about “legal revenge” 😅

however I wouldn’t advise it
