    My ex and I were together for 6 years, engaged for 3 months and then he broke up with me. I remember crying in disbelief. He looked at me and said "look at you. No wonder nobody likes you. No wonder you have no friends."

    Those words were ringing in my head when my friends and I went back to the apartment to pack my stuff up. Aside from nearly everything being mine- from the silverware to the shower curtain - I really wanted to mess with him.

    He was a bit of a clothes horse, so I went through his closet and all his favourite shirts, I took a razor blade and frayed the thread on the third or fourth button down. Enough that it would hang on for a wash or two, then pop off. His blue jeans got the same

    treatment- a seam here, a button there, the crotch frayed to split the next time he bent over. I doubt he ever figured out that it was me, but my girlfriends and I still laugh about it!

    P.S. that breakup was the best thing that ever happened to me. I've been happily married going on 15 years now with a great kid. Thanks, V!

    Theoriginalensetsu • 2d ago This is excellent pettiness, it's not insanely obvious or malicious but does. just enough to make a point and I love it. I need to bring my pettiness to this level, mine always goes too far and no one wants that. This is beautiful.

    Bron345 2d ago • Love it! He will go insane trying to figure out what is going on. He will wonder there are clothes moths investing his clothes, he will question his washing machine, dryer, his choice of clothing brand. Its brilliant!!

    likeablyweird • 1d ago Shoelaces and pockets are good, too. Elastic on the underwear. A little slice at the top and bottom of his favorite hole on his belts and caps. I saw a video where a woman messed with his YouTube algorithm. She unsubbed and then blocked everything and changed his ad preferences. Subbed him to family, kids and charities along with random things he had no interest in. He was sports, gamer and news.

    Ready_Competition_66 • 1d ago I'm glad the trash took itself out BEFORE you got married. He would have arranged things so that you would owe him alimony most likely.

    ireallydont123 1d ago . I'll never understand being mean to someone when breaking up. "Hey, I'm unhappy because X, Y, Z, I don't think this is working out." That's it. Don't have to be a about it

    not-the-name-i-chose 1d ago I love how all the people screaming about this level of pettiness are men. I truly hope they all experienced this, thus their reaction. And that their exes got the therapy they needed after dating these canoes.

    SultanOfSwave 16h ago Years ago my wife and I worked at a friend's resort. My wife and one of my friend's brothers had a running game of pranks going. One day she snuck into his room, pulled out a set of jeans from his dresser and sewed his pockets closed on one pair, his zippers down on another and his pant legs closed on yet another. All with just a few easily removed stitches.

    The brother never commented on it. Several years later, she got a note card from him. He had lost weight and was excited to finally put on his old jeans. Hilarity ensued.
