To send glitterbombs to my two ex-friends?

Some of you may remember I posted a thread a few weeks ago about a friend (now ex-friend) who kept harassing me with pics of their child. After much careful consideration I have now sent that person a glitterbomb in the post for a bargain price of £6. While I was at it i decided to send another one to another ex-friend as I managed to remember their address.

Unreasonable or hard-free funny revenge? Has anyone actually done this before?

You sound a bit unhinged, OP.

Schoolaroundthecorner · 13/03/2015 08:24

Childish and pretty pathetic to be honest. Just move on, there's no need for things like this which are a waste of money and passive aggressive. I wouldn't let anyone get under my skin to the point I could be bothered glitter bombing them (or any other stupid 'revenge' tactics).

HellKitty · 13/03/2015 08:25

Right, I've read the thread and update, thanks for the link. If it was all sorted I'm not sure why you've sent this glitterbomb to bring it all up again? That IMO isn't on. If she was bad mouthing you or harassing you fine but there has been no contact from her. What did the note say?

ahbollocks · 13/03/2015 08:35

Weird weird weird

iLoveFlop · 13/03/2015 08:45

YABhorriblyU.

Have you thought that she might be holding the baby when she opens the letter?

Would you like a fuck load of glitter over your little one? I didn't think so.

Grow up.

silveroldie2 · 13/03/2015 08:54

Fine if you're 10 years old. If you're an adult - grow up.

fairyfuckwings · 13/03/2015 08:55

I think if someone sent me a glitter bomb I would honestly not know it was supposed to be a "revenge thing". I would probably have spent all day in blissful ignorance thinking I had a secret admirer or something! Obviously not now I've read this thread though...

Calloh · 13/03/2015 09:00

The thing I hate is the note. It must be bloody awful to get something, wonder what it is and then (in amongst an explosion of glitter) find a note detailing how much of a dick you are - anonymously,

I think it could be absolutely destroying to someone.

spanky2 · 13/03/2015 09:03

Why spend your time thinking of revenge when you could be spending it achieving something positive for yourself? I really don't understand why you are so angry.

Only1scoop · 13/03/2015 09:06

Calloh I agree....

Especially not nice to a mother of a new baby whose only crime seems to be picture overload.

ByTheWishingWell · 13/03/2015 09:12

You know that she is the mother of a baby. As PP pointed out, she could be holding the baby or have her on her lap when she opens the letter. I certainly wouldn't want my DD to be covered in glitter, possibly breathing it in and getting it in her eyes.

From your previous thread, your friend sounded annoying, but the situation had been dealt with. I think YABU and you've lost the high ground here.

SoupDragon · 13/03/2015 09:13

Seriously? How old are you exactly? The problem was solved. You've lost any kind of moral highground and are now far nastier than they ever were.

Only1scoop · 13/03/2015 09:14

Did you get a Bogof to enable to send to your other 'ex friend'

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 13/03/2015 09:17

Brilliant idea.

Yes, the baby can get cut by the envelope . If I knew the addresses of the two cunts making my life a misery, I would post them shit glitter.

007JamesBond · 13/03/2015 09:20

I think the OP just lost the moral high ground by doing this. Very strange behaviour.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/03/2015 09:22

Op, I thought this was a joke but if you really told off a friend for sending too many photos of her child then sent her a nasty letter then you seriously sound nasty. Bullying is what this is.

Floggingmolly · 13/03/2015 09:27

You sound like a petty little prick. She's well shut of you.

Sad and pathetic behaviour. And quite unhinged.

Move on, OP.

nochocolateforlentteacake · 13/03/2015 09:30

And it cost £6? How such us a tube of glitter anyway? Sound like an expensive way to get someone annoyed. A cheapo card from the poundshop (2 for a pound) that has glitter on it anyway will have similar glitter-longevity. We are still hoovering up the stuff from Christmas. It never really goes away.

FenellaFellorick · 13/03/2015 09:30

seriously?

They bugged the crap out of you by being excited about their baby and sending you lots of pictures, mistakenly thinking you'd be excited too. You told them you weren't interested in their child and they had an attack of the mardies and for that you're sending them glitter in the post to get back at them?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

What did the other ex friend do to you? Send too many photos of their holiday?

Clearly you think you are funny but you've just made yourself look like a tit.

It's just so childish. And pointless.

Oh, he sent me a glitter bomb. That'll teach me. I'm so ashamed now.

ClaimedByMe · 13/03/2015 09:31

Oh is it wrong that I would love a glitter bomb

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 13/03/2015 09:31

I need to know why that chap in the video was filming himself opening the mail. Does he make a mail montage at the end of the year and send copies of it out as Christmas presents? And why wouldn't he want to be covered in glitter like a sparkly little fairy? What is wrong with him?

So many questions.

FenellaFellorick · 13/03/2015 09:34

No you wouldn't, Claimed. I had carnage one christmas when my kids were little and I stupidly gave them lots of arts and crafts stuff.
they tipped the lot onto the floor.
I was still finding bits at easter.
Those little sparkly bastards are sharp too.

Namechanged101 · 13/03/2015 09:35

All sounds very pathetic actually just leave them alone
