This is a classic story of boy meets girl, boy cheats on girl, girl finds out, girl creates Instagram account to start messaging boy anonymously, girl catfishes boy. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/RegularRevenge subreddit by u/from_russia_with_mud, who decided that the perfect way to get her ex's attention was by pretending to be another fan of his favorite band. Once all the details for this concert date were set, she hid behind the bushes with some friends as she watched her ex waiting for someone who was never going to show. By the time OP confronted her ex, she ripped those treasured concert tickets in half. It was the rip heard around the world. 

 

The best part of the whole story is that the Redditor was unapologetic about the amount of money she spent for this revenge. It was worth it for her, and though it might not be worth it for us, we're not the heroes of this story.

    Font - First boyfriend cheated on me, so he got a big surprise Petty Sorry if my English is bad. So this was a couple of years ago, but this was my first bf and I thought he was so sweet. His name was Dmitry and we were together for few months, and everything was great.. we hadn't done anything yet, but I really liked him and I thought he liked me too. Little I know, Dmitry had plans..

    Font - So one day my best friend Katya told me she saw Dmitry at a party with another girl together. And they were doing some more than just talking, if you know what I mean. I was sooo upset! I think maybe because I wasn't ready he found someone else - but we were in a relationship! I still think about it because it makes me so angry. I couldn't believe it I thought we were special together. But Dmitry was a cheater!

    Font - Anyway I'm not the girl who takes things lieing down. I really wanted my revenge so bad so, I came up with a plan to get him back. Dmitry was a huge fan of this popular Russian rock band that were coming to our town. I knew he would be dieing to go, so I set my plan. (Don't judge me I was heartbroken and yes it was a bit crazy but he gave me so much pain that I didn't care)

    Font - So first, I bought two tickets to the show (with my own money!) Then I made a fake instagram account with a picture of a beautiful girl I found on google (who also happened to be a big fan of the band.. hehe!) So I started messaging him from the fake instagram, and I telling him how much I loved the band and how I had an extra ticket but no one to go with. It took like 5 minutes for him to message back lol! Dmitry, being the flirty teenage boy he is immediately agreed to go to the concert

    Font - On the day of the concert I told dmitry to meet "her" at the entrance of the venue. Little did he know that I would be there aswell. (two friends came with me becasue I didn't know how he take it and if he could actually be dangerous or something) I luckily found somewhere we could hide at the gates so we could watch as Dmitry looked around all nerves for his "date."!

    Font - I made him wait as we were all laughing behind a tree and we kept txting making up dumb reasons she was late! I don't remember but I think one reason we made up was she couldn't find somewhere to have a poo and that she needed to go in a field and then she was getting chased by a horse!

    Font - Finally, I walked up to him and said, "surprise, dmitry! Looking for someone?" The look on his face was priceless! He was so shocked and embarrassed! And speechless! I held up the ticket and said "Here's your ticket, dmitry. Enjoy the show with your new 'girlfriend.' But next time, don't cheat someone smarter than you!"

    Font - I tore up the ticket right in front of his face and walked away, leaving him standing there. He didn't even run after me I think he was just shocked. No show for you Dmitry, and no new beautiful gf aswell. So there.

    Font - After that, I never spoke to dmitry again, and I moved to the UK not long after. To be honest even writing this I get so angry with guys like that but that's why I'm glad I fought back so maybe he thinks about taking girls for granted. I really believe you have to stand up for yourself, even if you do need to be mean to do it. Anyway, I am happy to leave cheaters like dmitry in the past!

    Font - Takssista 3 days ago Dmitry! And the icing on the cake was destroying the ticket in his face, showing that you'd rather lose the money than letting him go watch the show! That's the way! 77 Reply Share

    Font - savory_thing 3 days ago I was thinking she would go into the show with a hot date of her own, better than destroying the ticket. It didn't make sense to buy two tickets and rip up one of them. What happened to the second one? 43 Reply Share

    Font - Takssista 3 days ago Destroying the tickets is a much better way to show contempt for him - it says "Here, I spent my hard earned money on these just to tell you to go 1 yourself!"

    Font - Skadi_apostatesister 2 days ago People not understanding that her paying for the ticket just to rip up in his face was worth every buck for this girl.
