Sometimes being petty feels SO good, especially after an awful breakup.
We recentlyaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto share the pettiest thing they ever did to an ex.
Here’s what they had to say:
1.

“He broke up with me.
We still lived in the same apartment complex for eight months after the breakup, even sharing a washer/dryer.
We became friends again after about three months.

We started hanging out then I told him I got a job opportunity with almost double the salary.
He immediately stopped speaking to me.
He was still on my Disney+ and right after I moved was the final episode ofThe Mandalorian.

I changed my password and logged out of all devices the night before the episode premiered.”
“We were together for 10 years, engaged twice.
It was always a tumultuous relationship; we broke up and got back together numerous times.

He finally left me for someone we bought a sofa from on Craigslist.
He sent me a list of items I ‘owed him’ money for.
He also took off cycling components he paid for on my road bike.

I now realize he’s a textbook narcissist and had lied on his taxes for years.
I found out he got audited and owed something like $50K.”

“I knew a friend who squeezed every condiment out of its bottle and onto his floor.
She got up and left like nothing happened.
He had to replace the floorboards and couldn’t go into those rooms without smelling mustard.”

and can’t get it up without porn.'
She moved out after she found out he cheated.
She was a fun roommate!"

“He asked me to move in, and I thought we were both extremely happy.
We never fought, our intimacy was great, and we always made time for each other and ourselves.

I put them in a bag and then in a closet I knew he’d never check.
I even used electrical tape to cover the microwave clock.
He didn’t return until late at night, and I’ll never forget the texts I received.

He did try and connect about a year later.
It was a no for me.”
I politely informed crime stoppers where they could find him.

I ended up getting $140 which went towards groceries."

“After I split from my husband he started dating a girl.

I saw online he was taking her on a flight to another state for a big event.
So, I canceled their hotel room.
I thought I’d do her a favor and let her see who he really is.
They broke up right after.”

I had a garage sale and sold all his originalStar Warstoys for $1 each.
I made some thrifters very happy that day!"
Oops, shouldn’t have cheated."

“I bagged up his clothes and added sequins, glitter, and tacks as extras.”
“I donated years of his frequent-flyer programs of airlines and hotels to charity.”

“My ex cheated on me so I broke up with him.
We ended up making out and are currently three years into our relationship.”
“I had his prized Mustang convertible repossessed.”

“I hid cooked crabs throughout his apartment.
I put some in suitcases he kept in the back of the closet and some inside the radiator.”
It was a pretty long list."

“Not my breakup, but my best friend’s.
I hope the cheater was finding them for months.”
“I painted his broken, old gaming system the same color as his brand-new one.
“I signed my ex up for every email and text promotion I could find.
Wanna enter a cruise sweepstakes?
Yes, she does.
Wanna sign up for information on timeshares?
Oh, indeed she did!
Do you want to receive texts about the local church calendar?
From ALL of them?
Either scenario is pathetic, which makes it hilarious.”
“I dated this guy.
I had gained 15 pounds.
I said, ‘OK let me gather up my things and I’ll leave.’
And then I left, smiling, thinking, who’s got the fat ass now?”
