Revenge fantasy plea

AIBU to ask you to help me plot some fantasy revenge?

I am divorcing my abusive STBXH thanks to you lovely lot helping me to recognise it as abuse after I posted a couple of AIBUs.

True to form he is being horrible. Utterly vile. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost money. He’s making choices that negatively impact the DC.

I am rising above it. I’m not taking the bait. I’m focusing on my wellbeing and being the best parent I can be.

But I’m angry. I feel powerless. The law sucks. I have no recourse. I need an outlet.

So I’m going to start plotting fantasy revenge scenarios.

First one: I know something about him that would destroy his reputation and lose him friends all over our small community. I fantasise about telling one person in ‘confidence’ knowing they would likely break it because they are a gossip. I’d have done nothing wrong but it would have the whole town talking about him negatively.

Anyone want to join me in a little evil fantasy revenge? What could I do? Small or big? Silly or serious! Or share your revenge stories. No judgement from me.

To be clear I won’t action anything and I’m not condoning revenge (mostly) but I really need to let out my feeling of powerlessness somehow!!

I honestly cannot understand why someone would send mean messages to a stranger on the internet. They must have very empty lives.

I turned a pair of underpants inside out and rubbed them in the loft insulation, gave them a bit of a shake, turned them back to the right side, put them back in the drawer, a few pairs down and waited 😂

I realllllly miss the laugh emoji.

What happened? An interested third person is asking.

I'm guessing that it was extremely itchy...I remember reacting badly to fibreglass. (Not in my breeks!)

A 'friend' may have, after vacating the family home from her cheating ex, turned the batteries around all the remotes (so the '-' was on the '+' and vice versa) so none of them worked. He went 'ape shit' according to their DC and went down to the shop as thought there was something wrong (helpful shop assistant pointed out the batteries were the wrong way around).
The same 'friend' may have also been doing some cash jobs (this was about 20 years ago when cash was more commonly used) and may have written her ex and OW names and ph numbers on the bills when she was paid in cash,

A friend of mine poured her husbands expensive aftershave down the toilet and used a shewee funnel to pee in the bottle, and popped it back in the bathroom . Yes he put it on his face 🤣

Cat food pie.
The food my cats currently have is one that just looks like shredded chicken in gravy. Couple of tins of this, bit more gravy, ready rolled puff pastry and 30 mins in the oven for a delicious tea.

Heard on a podcast about a woman who heard her boyfriend was on a dating app. She joined using a picture of a beautiful woman, saying her hometown. When they were matched she really let him on, then arranged to meet. Then she messaged later that night saying she had turned up but he looked older, fatter and balder than she expected.

She enjoyed watching him be sad for a few days then finished with him telling him he’d let himself go lately.

One of my relatives paid a voodoo practitioner on the internet to put a spell of banishment on her two neighbours. A spell of banishment is not specifcally intended to physically harm people - just to remove them from your life. The male died of a heart attack - he had a history of heart problems. Death is the ultimate form of banishment. His wife developed dementia and went rapidly downhill after his demise. Another form of banishment. She moved away to be with her family.

He had a history of heart problems, you say...

This may be an urban myth, but if not living together, go round to his pad when he is going to be away for a while, and if he still has a landline, call the speaking clock in New York, leave it ringing.
