A friend's ex has done the most awful thing to her. He's jeopardising her career and his actions have caused her a lot of embarrassment in her workplace. She's a very private person and what he's done has had big implications, to the extent that even the company MD (it's a very large company) knows.
It's 100% vexatious but he's technically not done anything illegal.

I don't know the guy personally. I do know his e-mail address, his name, where he works, and home address.

I'd love to send him a glitter bomb but don't think that's wise.

So, to tide me over while I sit on my hands and prevent myself from signing him up to every type of spam I can imagine, can you tell me decent stories of petty payback?

I was madly in love with a boyfriend who dumped me because didn't "want to be in a relationship right now". A few days later, I saw his car parked outside my best mate's house, very early in the morning, and I realised that their flirting had been a lot more than that.

I was so upset and angry that I had to pull over a little way up the road because I actually felt sick. If I'd had a hammer, I'd have smashed his car to fuck, but I didn't. But I did have a couple of paintbrushes that I'd bought the previous day, and a bottle of brake fluid, because I had a slight leak somewhere.

I walked back and painted the word "cunt" in huge letters across the boot of his prized Audi 100 Coupe S.

I feel really ashamed now, that I vandalised such a beautiful, classic car. But he deserved it.

Btw, they're still together, over 40 years later, despite his serial infidelities. I see them occasionally at funerals, and we're friendly and civil.

I see we have a new definition of 'minor'. Grin

My exh was very proud of a particular rugby shirt, wore it a lot and it was washed with care.
When I discovered who he really was, I packed some clothes to give to a charity, the shirt went in the bag. And do you know what? The same of the charity completely escaped me!

(I may have also tied his socks into lots of tiny knots)

OP if you have all his details I would sign him up to some of the most depraved things the internet has to offfer. In particular for his phone number. I'd suggest writing a OP stating he's looking for sex on some of the kink websites is a good place to start.

Yes I've done that.

I've also spat in food my flatmate kept stealing (I know I know but it still gave me satisfaction) and poured salt in the mayo so wen she stole it to put on MY food that he was eating it ruined the food.

I've also scrubbed a toothbrush for an abusive ex around the toilet.

Birdsbeesandtrees · 11/06/2017 08:29

Oh and I pissed in the abusive exs wine in the fridge as well.

Ilovebaconbutimonadiet · 11/06/2017 08:33

Shameless placemarking

VinIsGroot · 11/06/2017 08:35

Lived in a house share at University. One lad was really abusive and once pushed me over in the kitchen because I came home late and walked up the stairs noisily! Hes room was next to the stairs!
One day he broke the kick off my bedroom door and went through all my stuff!
I pissed in his shower gel and shampoo!!!
You could say I pissed all over him!

oldsilver · 11/06/2017 08:45

I may have got to exboyfriends favourite home recorded Led Zep cassettes cheapskate and over recorded cheesy pop songs (think Steps type songs) right in the middle of each and every track.

Chillyegg · 11/06/2017 08:47

Wow...some of these are actually awful! I dont know if i could do any of this....
I say this id love revenge on my ex the violent abusive shit. Not sure what i could do though.

balence49 · 11/06/2017 08:59

Get to pet shop for some live food, locusts ( better as fly) or crickets, get a good few boxes. A dollop of dog food (wet) thru letterbox, followed by the bugs, either late at night or when you know they are out for day/ weekend. By the time they realise the feckers will be all over the house!

Particularly effective on folk who hate creepy crawleys! Also helps if you have someone telling you about how awful it was for poor dave!

Bumdishcloths · 11/06/2017 09:46

I particularly enjoyed the massive overreaction to the meat gravy: "I'd probably sue if someone did that to me"

Erm. Calm down love.

If the person in question had an allergy and you put the allergen in their food, then yes, out of order.

If someone's being a prick and a beef Oxo accidentally falls in their dinner, so be it.

happypoobum · 11/06/2017 10:18

I have done quite a few of these....

The toothbrush round the toilet rim

The signing someone up for ten tons of junk mail

Spitting in someones food.

I know someone who cancelled their sisters wedding when they fell out!!

LakieLady · 11/06/2017 10:21

Heard a revenge tale on the radio which I thought was most inventive.

The aggrieved party let herself into the ex's house while he was away with the Other Woman. She sprayed all the carpets with water, sprinkled cress seed on them and turned the heating on.

He arrived home to find he had wall-to-wall cress floorcovering. Grin

ememem84 · 11/06/2017 10:28

I rubbed deep heat into cheating ex boyfriends boxers. Lots of deep heat. While he was away for the weekend.

Then washed them.

Deep heat doesn't come out after the first wash but the smell does. He was itchy for a while

MaryJObliged · 11/06/2017 10:33

A friend of time sewed prawns into the lining of her cheated ex's Armani suit.

I once deep-fried someone's handbag.

happypoobum · 11/06/2017 10:37

Hilarious! Was it full at the time? How did they react?

tickwhitetick · 11/06/2017 10:42

My flat mate was a bitch so I pissed in her shower gel and shampoo. I waited til I was hungover and v dehydrated so it was concentrated

x2boys · 11/06/2017 10:43

LakieLady a freind of mine had a similar experience with her than boyfriend she scratched his car with her key and ended up getting arrested and cautioned!

crazycatgal · 11/06/2017 10:57

My secondary school form tutor was really nasty and vile. So me and my friends put a massive dead spider in her cup of tea when she left the room for a moment.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 11/06/2017 11:02

Wow! You guys!

I have to admit that I am still debating revenge on some ex neighbours of mine. I generally think that what goes around comes around but they are absolutely thorough bastards who made my life hell.
Oh and karma could do with catching up with my absuive ex too. Perhaps I do just need to do something so I can move past it. ;)
