I wasn’t trying to be funny

Topseyt · 27/08/2018 17:45

Lowtide, joking or not, it wasn't remotely funny.

There are cunts people who would do exactly the type of stuff you were talking about.

ilovesooty · 27/08/2018 17:46

I think people seem to be finding petty acts of revenge and criminal damage less amusing than they used to. I'm quite pleased about that.

WhatDaveSaid · 27/08/2018 17:47

Right, this is ridiculous. I’ve spent all day feeling totally shit about life, plotting revenge that I will never actually carry out. But it has made me feel better. I made a post that apparently I shouldn’t have and now I’m being personally attacked for the actions of others. I profusely apologise for not being perfect and being an actually human being, who I’m most of your eyes has just made an unforgivable mistake in posting this thread.

Lowtide, joking = trying to be funny. You said you were joking. It absolutely wasn't remotely funny.

lowtide · 27/08/2018 17:50

Firstly is Aibu
Secondly these threads come up all the time and they never ever end well. Ever

Go into relationships, post your real problem and get lots of help and support form people.

Everyone thinks about revenge. But Aibu isn’t the place to talk about how shit you feel in life. It won’t help you.

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 27/08/2018 17:51

I think some people should find something better to do on a bank holiday Monday afternoon instead of having a go at an already quote vulnerable individual who just wanted some light relief.
Oh the irony

thegardenfairy · 27/08/2018 17:51

*Today 17:30lowtide

I killed his dog*

😱That's nothing to be proud of. OMG! You serious??

Basta · 27/08/2018 17:54

Not revenge exactly, but whenever I'm crushing garlic under the flat blade of a knife I imagine it's my ex's scrotum.

PipeTheFuckDown · 27/08/2018 18:03

I’m living my best life Grin

Financially, emotionally abusive and controlling ExH doesn’t see our toddler because, as he openly admitted when she was a baby (he’s never met her), he wants to ruin my life Hmm If he saw her like a normal Dad does, I’d be able to go out and do stuff, move on, he said I’d be forever trapped on benefits without him.

Fast forward 2.5 years, I’ve moved to the city, as I have a place at an RG Uni to do Biology after completing a difficult college course. The same Uni he didn’t get into many years ago, despite applying every year for 4 years Grin

And where’s he? Oh right. Still sofa surfing, still working dodgy cash in hand jobs to avoid child support, his teen son has zero to do with him.

Duchessgummybuns · 27/08/2018 18:10

Today I saw a nice Porsche festooned with key scratches 🙈 I hope she was worth it!

As for me, I told him to collect ALL his shit from my house or it would be taken to his work. He left the guitar I put a claw hammer through, and mementoes from th OW.

I threw them through the bank door on my way to work. Guitar made quite a commotion amongst the customers.

Petty? Yes. But did it make me feel better? Absolutely.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 27/08/2018 18:22

I love a good revenge thread, OP. Take no notice of the miserable bastards who could have exercised their choice not to click on the thread.
My fav story is one I heard about a man who cheated on his dp with ow and then managed to screw the dp over again in the split so that he got the house. She put fish in the curtain poles before she moved out.
He moved in with ow and the house stank. They had carpet cleaners in, pest control etc and just couldn't get rid of the smell. OW couldn't take it and insisted they sell the house. But no one would buy it because they couldn't hide the stink.
In the end the exdp buys it for a knock down price. The man and ow move out - and take the curtain poles with them!
I really hope that one is true.

nibblingandbiting · 27/08/2018 18:22

Well, you did say you would drop his shit off into work. You didn't say howGrin

ramalamadingdong1 · 27/08/2018 18:32

I don’t think lowtide is serious

He/she just wants the thread pulled

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/08/2018 18:34

I think some of the ex's have truly escaped some very nasty women going by some of the posts on this thread, I expect they've never looked back either.

PerverseConverse · 27/08/2018 18:35

I think it's part of the process to spend time plotting revenge fantasies. I certainly did. I didn't do anything but by god did I fantasise about it. The best revenge for me though is that he has now got the life he deserves: a miserable one. He tried to ruin my life, said he would, failed to do so. I'm now happy and better off and he hates me.

cherry1012 · 27/08/2018 18:37

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/08/2018 18:38

That is the perfect revenge, PerverseConverse, I know a few posters on the thread have said the same but it's true.

If you (general) move your own life forward you benefit, you can't help but benefit. If you plot and carry out revenge then I think it makes you 'less than' somehow as you carry that with you, and it shows..

Koalateatime · 27/08/2018 18:41

Got back into my hobbies, reconnected with friends and am living a happy life with DD. We go on holidays and have a decent enough time.

He's constantly job hopping and still obsessed with gaming. Late with maintenance and shoddy with contact.

Getting on and living a better life has been a good revenge.

Hertha · 27/08/2018 19:08

I killed his dog then filled the dog with frozen fish before I moved out. He couldn’t work out where the smell was coming from so he had to move out, taking the dead dog with him, and I got his house or something.

Needsleepneedsleep · 27/08/2018 19:09
Hmm
lowtide · 27/08/2018 19:10

I don’t want this thread pulled! They just always get pulled!
Wished I had filled the dog with frozen fish.
I hope it was coley, it’s sustainable don’t u know

Myheartbelongsto · 27/08/2018 19:10

I had been to court with my ex as he wasn't paying maintenance and he lied to the judge about being employed. He was setting up a new company at the time and driving a lovely car. I barely had the bus fare that day.

I was livid with him!

When I got home I found out he had already been there and taken some stuff so I dug out his fake vagina that I had discovered and hand delivered it to him at work. As I walked past the window i could see him and a bunch of colleagues looking down at something on a table. He's an Architect so must have been a drawing.

I walked into the office, they all looked up and I fucked the vag at him from the door. We all watched it flying through the air but the bastard caught it.

Came home, my mum asked me was everything all right. When I told her what I'd done and we fell around the kitchen laughing.

EwItsAHooman · 27/08/2018 19:17

Plotting outlandish revenge tactics that you'll never, ever carry out is fine but actually carrying them out just makes you a dick and plays into the trope of "omg, my ex is such a psycho bitch, you'll never guess what she did...." - why give the bastard ammunition to use against you?

The sweetest revenge is to live your best life and be happy. Nothing says fuck you quite like proving to someone that they weren't needed and that you're better off without them.
