When we bought our first home from a divorcing couple, the wife was living there alone. She went amok ripping up the kitchen flooring, smashing every light bulb, taking every curtain rail leaving holes in the walls.

Another mother at our school when the house sold, had the kitchen, bathrooms taken out and gave them away. We are talking about a very high end property here.

Oh remember the woman years ago who sold her DH £25k car for a 50p thought that was brilliant.

A mobile hairdresser I knew found out her boyfriend was having an affair with a friend who's hair she did, and on her next appointment she hacked chunks of her hair off,

I had a friend whose boyfriend used to beat her. He was just vile. After a particularly bad incident she told him it was over, but he refused to leave their (rented) flat.

It was pure spite on his part as it was near her parents and work and he had no ties to the area (was always threatening to move).

So she put a fish behind the radiator and in the sofa and told him to keep it. Obviously he found them and then thought he’d won, but he couldn’t get rid of the smell. After about 5 weeks he told her he was leaving her “scummy” flat in her shitty area and she could deal with the landlord

So she went round, removed the curtain poles which, unbeknown to anyone, she’d filled with tinned tuna, gave everything a kick of paint and enjoyed her peaceful new life. Apparently a woman in the refuge she was in told her about it as a sneakier way to do it, and told her only to do it on windows above radiators as he assumed it was still from the fish behind the radiator

I’m not normally big on revenge but I was bloody proud of her for getting her home back!

I know someone who was bullied by a flatmate at university and put bleach in her face cream. I was really shocked.

Mine was innocent revenge on my partner at the time for being out all day and coming home drunk when he had promised he was taking me out.

He came in and passed out. It was winter and I knew he had work next day and got the bus at approx 8 in the morning. I changed every single clock and item with time on it to 3 hours forward and set his alarm. So instead of getting up at say 7 like he thought it was he got up at 4. I heard him making his sandwiches and heading out for the bus at 5am. 20 mins later he came in saying "good one". I was creased. He never got back to sleep and was rough all day. Another time he done it I sprayed him with cheap fake tan and he had to go to work a strange orange colour!

I sent an anonymous letter to SILs parents telling them about SIL sleeping around behind her partners back when she was 8 months pregnant. Yep, I told on her!
She was a horrible person. She told her best friend on their wedding day that she didn't love him, but wanted a wedding.
She hardly has anything to do with their child now. BIL has been bringing up the baby alone.

I once read of a woman who'd discovered that the long overseas 'business' trips (10+ days to the far east,etc.) her husband took were a cover for him taking his mistress away, so once she'd got absolute proof, the last time he did this, once she'd lovingly seen him off, the removal van turned up, took all the furniture to her new place then, and this was the genius bit I reckon,she then went through the entire house spreading grass seed. Watered it in nicely, turned the heating on, then left tto let nature take its course.Grin

I'm sure lots of these are just urban myths.

I'm not proud of this, but once a man who was horrible to me was very proud of a new suit he'd just brought. We hugged and I deliberately held my cigarette up against the shoulder pad and made a burn.
I don't smoke any more, and am no longer with him. He probably had a lucky escape!

My husband continued his affair after swearing on my children's lives it was over. I phoned the other women's church and told her vicar about the affair then collected every single item of his clothes put them in a bin bag, walked to the nearby canal and chucked them in

My exh refused to tell me anything about his new Ow, so one night when I knew hed be in my house babysitting I had him followed.

I bided my time till he messed up and didn’t do something he promised
Got in my car about 10-30 pm and drove to her house

And put my hand on the horn.....

Well you’ve just got to haven’t you😂
Their house was in darkness , lights were popping on all around their street

We had a furious row in the street. He had the cheek to say OW was going off it with him..like I was bothered

I can’t bear people breaking a promise with me.
There were other things but that was the most dramatic

I didn’t want him back and I wanted a good divorce settlement so I didn’t dare push the envelope too far.

Luckily he went for someone with a nice house, so when the judge got to carve up the assets, she decreed he had somewhere to live so I got to keep our house
He felt he got shafted in the divorce...that was the best revenge of all...and I never had to lift a finger

The husband of a friend of mine dumped her at their anniversary party in front of all their friends and family (so glad I had turned that invitation down!) He drove off into the night with all his belongings that he'd stashed in his car, wouldn't reply to her messages and calls.

Unfortunately for him, he'd forgotten to turn off his shared location on his phone. When my friend realised that a few weeks later, she tracked him down one night and scratched CUNT in massive letters on the side. Of course he knew it was her because the location finder was turned off pdq after that!
