Whether it’s in a TV show or in the celebrity world or in a TV show about the celebrity world, we as a civilisation have shown an unparalleled thirst for scandal. Scandalously petty behaviour is one of our favourite sub-categories of drama, and petty post-break-up acts are the ultimate sweet spot.
So let’s indulge our passion with some of Reddit’s best stories of real life people doing extremely petty things in the wake of a break-up. We deserve it.
Starting with a cheeky pre-break-up pettiness that was too good to not include. There are some things that cannot be overlooked or forgiven, and calling Imagine Dragons your #1 is up there.
Sometimes the best revenge is calculated sabotage, Game of Thrones style.
If you ever needed a reason to learn how to sew (or un-sew) well here it is.
Extra points for use of the world “daddy” and taking the toilet paper. Truly a visionary.
When the betrayal is this bad, sometimes it takes eight years (or more) to dole out revenge – it’s very impressive. But can we just bow down to the sister and true MVP in this story?
This is some third-party torture that is really inspired.
Great time to have a pregnant friend.
Right in the jugular. And sometimes the jugular is a car, whatever works. Just so long as it hurts.
THIS IS SO THOROUGH. This is something you can do not only to ex’s, but anyone who wrongs you! Send them the junk they deserve.
Simple, bitter, blunt, and petty.
While pettiness is not recommended in your own life, we’re also not judging, and clearly entertained. So you do what you need to do.
