    My ex cheated, so I refunded a gift and now she's livid. My ex broke up with me just about a year into us dating. In hindsight, she was awful but I was blind to it all. She broke up with me over the phone, which seemed a little informal from all the time we spent together. Fast

    forward a week after that, several individuals connected to her, but not each other, confirmed she was in fact seeing another man. I didn't confront her about it, because I realize that things just don't work out sometimes. It was just the way she went about it that irked me. I'm old enough (late 30s) to accept that people are just but I also felt like she was getting away with

    something without feeling even a bit of remorse (the breakup was the only contact, no calls or texts occurred after that over a year ago) I remembered for Christmas that I bought her (us) a really expensive couples massage spa package because she would always say how she wanted to do something like that. I had purchased some big package from a local place that cost

    roughly $600. I obviously didn't have the certificate with me. I decided to go to the spa and make up a story of how I lost the certificate. I showed them the receipt (always keep those!) and showed him my credit card charge. They wound up reissuing me a gift card, and canceling the other.

    That was over a year ago and frankly I forgot about it. Today I get a call from her (first contact in a year since breaking up) and she's screaming at me over the phone that the gift certificate is no good and the spa place. accused her of "stealing" and what a POS I was for reporting it to be such. (I called the guy, he said he told her it was reported stolen) I just politely explained I didn't think she was deserving of it and if she really wanted to, she

    could just have Mark (dude she was bangin') pay for new one. I then hung up. Gonna make an appointment to use that card with my new GF soon. Mission accomplished.

    • G.. 2y ago. Edited 2y ago • I did this with an ex and his birthday gift. He was hinting hard that he wanted to see a certain band. The tickets were very expensive. I told him that maybe he would get tickets for his birthday, which he did. In his birthday card, I placed 2 neatly folded ticket printouts, one for each of us.

    He suddenly and conveniently broke up with me a couple of days later, with the concert happening. only a few days after that. I knew that he was planning to go with whoever he broke up with me for, and I also knew that he was too stupid to know that I could have the tickets reprinted, which would void his copies. (Can you still do that? This was

    the early days of self- printed tickets.) So I did exactly that. I printed off new tickets, invited my brother, and we had a great time. When we left the venue, I turned on my phone and noticed I had 7 missed calls, over a dozen texts, and a very long and scream-cry-filled voicemail.

    He had showed up to the venue all ready to impress his new girl with an expensive concert. OOPS! My brother and I sat in the car and laughed at his messages while we waited for traffic to thin out. I never responded and, after a few more hate-filled texts, never heard from him again. LL F you Howard.

    Edit: For those asking, it was the Rolling Stones and it happened in the mid-2000s. I'm pretty sure his broke never got to see them live, and I hope he thinks of me being partially responsible for that every time he hears Start Me Up on the radio.

    CoderJoe1 What a way to send a massage

    rengothrowaway Oh my god, I did this about ten years ago with a massage gift certificate for around $400.00. I gave it to my ex for Valentine's Day and said we could use it for couple's massages or he could use it on himself. I found out he was cheating, and had been for a long time, very soon after. It made me sick and

    super p ed thinking he may get take the other woman to get a massage using MY money, and his cheating ass didn't deserve a massage, either. I called the spa and explained what happened, and asked if they could do anything. They asked for the name of the cheater and his cheating accomplice, and told me they banned them. from the spa. Something
  • 16
    about bad vibes. They asked if I wanted a refund or to use the money for treatments for myself. I used up the money on myself, and the spa even gave me discounted massages so the $400.00 actually was worth far more. It took me over a year to use up that gift certificate money.

    W.. This is hilarious. The funniest part to me is after cheating and not talking for a year she still thought she was going to go to the spa and later laugh to her friends about her stupid ex paying for her spa date. She probably even did a pre brag and invited a friend and got embarrassed at the the check in. Good form sir

    Pineapplegirl12... My dad was cheating on my mom. He booked a trip to Cayman Islands with his girlfriend and when the mail came my mom opened it. She opened everything. And this was back in the day of paper tickets. She saw it had

    another woman's name on it so she called and told them they made a mistake on the tickets and I can't remember if she canceled it or got one with her name on it
