'It is the worst job I ever had': Dude gets calculated revenge by giving cheating girlfriend's new boyfriend his terrible job and dingy apartment

When a relationship ends suddenly—unexpectedly, with less than honest acts contributing to that abruptness—it can be hard to move forward. The lack of closure or preparedness, with your entire life and routine being turned on its head, is jarring, and the continued cycle of argument and retribution festers into a toxic tug-of-war that embroils both parties in an endless external and mental conflict.

Anyone who tells you they're entirely faultless and managed a clean break in the aforementioned scenario is—well, a liar. Nobody escapes a dramatic breakup unscathed, and in our heart of hearts, we've all probably said or done things we're not proud of—whether or not we're willing or able to admit it.

Of course, time heals all wounds and distance, and the space of time is often the only thing that will allow you to move ahead freely with your life. Feelings of being wronged and the resulting desire for retribution lessens—but that doesn't ever mean that it truly goes away.

Say that you were presented with the chance to pass your terrible previous life on to the guy who took your girlfriend—that's your terrible job, your dingy apartment, maybe even the terrible cafe in the lobby that does the most middling cup of coffee you've ever tasted—would you take that chance? Thereby exacting the most subtle, maybe even altruistic, revenge one could imagine… Trapping the poor chap's entire existence into your own old terrible bottle.

That's what this Redditor claims to have done in a story they shared with Reddit's popular r/pettyrevenge community. Read on for their account of events as they unfolded. It's a brilliant read and one of my favorites for a while.
