We're conflicted about this one. On the one hand, this former high school bully doesn't seem to understand the full extent of what she did. On the other, she did at least try to apologize and her punishment was to be bullied herself. As satisfying as getting revenge on your high school bully seems, it's clearly not as fulfilling in practice given that the Redditor posted this thread in Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit in the first place.
Redditors in the comments section were quick to criticize the original poster's actions when spreading their bully's half-a$$ed apology around in their small, gossipy hometown. However, and hopefully, this isn't a super controversial hot take here, but it's clear that whatever this bully did or said back in the day was damaging, traumatizing, and all-around awful. Maybe their apology was less authentic and much more self-involved in its intent, and perhaps this person deserved to be confronted with that fact. This is not to advocate for petty behavior (though pettiness is objectively fun to watch when you're not involved), but instead, maybe it's about calling out fake apologies until they become genuine.
