Sometimes, your petty actions go much further than you had originally intended, and without realizing it, you're pulling on a thread that will continue to unravel, causing a cascading effect that knocks over the first domino in a chain that "Rube Goldbergs" into a house of cards and sends the whole thing crashing down. 

Well, it turns out that when you accuse your terrible neighbor of being a serial cheater, sending anonymous messages pretending to be his mistress, that might be pretty upsetting for all parties involved… especially his actual mistress, who—feeling scorned—goes scorched earth and reveals her affair partner's actual infidelity in a series of events that you couldn't possibly have anticipated. It's a whole lotta fireworks over some fireworks in this act of petty revenge that struck the powder keg and went nuclear. Read on to see the original story below, as shared with several popular Reddit communities.

    Posted by u/crazymastiff TIFU by being an AH on internet and causing a stranger to get divorced. I'm crossposting this from TIFU. I'm really not a mean person and genuinely felt terrible for destroying a marriage. But the lovely users thought I should post here though I didn't mean for the revenge to go to this level by any means. I don't even know if I meant for revenge at all... but here we are.

    I (42 F) TIFU big time. 2 weeks ago on a random Thursday morning at like 1AM someone starting shooting off fireworks in my neighborhood. I've been having bouts of insomnia and was finally able to get to sleep and I had to get to wake up at 4AM for a meeting 2 hours away that I had to be at for 8AM. I was I and so we're my dogs. I love fireworks but think there's a time and a place. Thursday morning at 1AM is not it.

    I posted to the neighborhood fb group a few hours later during a coffee break about people that set off fireworks at 1AM mid- week. After I make the long drive home, I check my fb. Some guy comments that I can't sleep because I'm a fat pig. Now, I'm chubby but not sloppy fat. Plus I just lost the equivalent of a fully grown male wombat, or 54 North American grey squirrels, so I feel awesome about myself. This is where I may have really I up...

    I respond to the guy, who was maybe mid to late 30's/very early 40's. About the same age group as me. I write in a comment beneath his, "Listen guys name I'm sorry I had to end things, but I just didn't have the same feelings. What you're saying now is just hurtful and mean. Please stop sending me messages and commenting on my fb posts is just a pathetic way to contact me. I told you a dozen times already, we are done. It's over."

    The following day I had to get to the airport for an out of country vacation that had me getting up early and leaving early as so I don't check my fb during all the craziness (also because I'm only on it sparingly. I don't live on my phone and when I am, I'm usually on Reddit or TikTok vs FB).

    I could not check my fb even if I wanted. I was on a cruise- not paying $25/day for internet and the country we visited didn't really have the greatest Wi-Fi. Besides I was having a blast leaving the chaos of the world behind. I signed on Monday night and Apparently, people took this seriously and told his wife! She was freaking out on me, pleading for information. Sending me messages. Her and his friends were DMing me. He was DMing me. It was bad.

    The last message was the guy saying I'm a total because I refused to tell the truth and I just destroyed his life. I immediately message both him and his wife explaining what happened. I sent pics of me on vacation even - time stamped. Apparently, he is a serial cheater and when I exposed our affair, another woman exposed her affair with the husband to the wife because AP was jealous that he had yet another side chick. This was the straw that broke the camel's back because not only of the multip

    So there's my accidental pro revenge. TLDR; someone tried to hurt my feelings after I posted about fireworks being set off early morning, and I pretended to publicly address our "breakup"... his wife and affair partner were not pleased.
