If you ever considered compiling a list of revenge acts that you can use if people close to you ever do you wrong, then it is definitely time to take out your notebooks and pens. The woman in this story did not hold back when she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her, and she found clever, yet simple, ways to really make him regret his actions.

While some people might say that it is better to be the bigger person, to just forgive and forget when someone wrongs you, we think that if you can come up with ways to get back at those people in a (mostly) harmless way, then why should you? It might not heal all your emotional wounds, but it would at least make you laugh for a bit, and that is always a good thing for your soul.

If we somehow managed to sell you this pitch of getting back at people who deserve it, go ahead and scroll down to get some truly inspiring ideas. After that, check out this story of a man who claimed he was entitled to equity in his girlfriend's house.

    Every time they got into an argument, she would move all of the furniture in their apartment by one inch in the same direction - literally every piece of furniture and decor. Her boyfriend would feel like something was off, but nothing was immediately obvious because she didn't move just one thing - she moved everything.

    She also put shrimp in all of the curtain rods, and according to their mutual friends he never figured out the source of the smell and eventually moved apartments to get away from it.

    EricaTakesWhisks OP 9h ago She actually did it. This was like 12 or 13 years ago though, so I'm not sure if someone would get away with it now. Her boyfriend. back then was also a huge jok, so I could see him complaining to someone, them figuring it out and just not helping him because they thought he deserved it.
