23 Petty, Petty, Petty People Who Took Something From Their Ex for Revenge When They Divorced

If you’ve ever had a bad breakup, you may have fantasized about doing something mean to your ex on the way out. Well, some people took it even further (and some took it way too far). Recently on reddit, divorced people impart the most random thing their ex took to divorce and their stories are so wild. Here are some of the top comments:

1.“I was doing a 1,000 piece puzzle during our breakup. On the way out, after he came to get his things, he took a piece out of the puzzle box. I never got it back.”

2.“My rock collection. I started it when I was a kid and collected great rocks from different places I’ve traveled around the world. Over 30 years of great rocks. Three years later, I’m still mad.”

3.“We have had no contact and he has not shown up for the divorce hearing. It was an uncontested and simple divorce, so no big deal. Except when the judge started going through the documents, she said, “You know an Eduardo. Sanchez?”

“When he was handed the papers, he signed a fake name and nobody, including my lawyer, thought to check until I got to court. There’s no way to prove it, but I could tell from the judge’s squinty eyes that he was beating me. for the last time.

So it took me an extra month and extra legal fees because my incompetent lawyer refused to admit that they had absolutely failed me in the simplest action.”

4.“I came home one day and the house was empty. Like completely empty. Even the ice cubes were taken out of the freezer. What kind of sick bitch takes the ice cubes out of the freezer?”

6.“THIS IS MY MOMENT!!! He left the apartment after months of begging. I was working. He told me he would take half of everything. I came home and did what he said. Finally, go to the fridge to make dinner. . Open the fridge. IT LITERALLY CUT THE EGG BOX IN HALF!!!!

9.“One time a woman came into the bar where I worked and was giving a big tip. She was nice, respectful, and again, a great tipper. Turns out she was now the ex-wife of one of the shit regulars, and she was there to make him uncomfortable.”

“He tried to complain about her being there, and I kicked him out. This lady became a friend of mine, but she’s so petty that she took her ex-husband’s shelter.”

10.“Every nail clipper (I had at least four), every flashlight (I had three), every can opener (I had at least three) and the ladder I bought because I’m short and he’s not. Also the biggest pan. from our pan set i hate this guy”.

11.“A big bag of vibrators. He literally took a bag of feathers. Sometimes I wonder how he explained this when he met new partners. Something about being a single man with a huge collection of vibrators just makes me giggle. Man, go and prosper, I literally have nothing more to give.

12.“My ex collected Scottie dog figurines and the like. Someone had given me a bottle of black and white scotch for Christmas. He insisted the bottle was his because it had a Scottie dog on it. He didn’t even drink!”

15.“He dug in his heels on the waffle maker he didn’t even know how to use because of the ‘need to cook for me now.’ He left all the pots and pans, the toaster, the microwave, the slow cooker and the Wüsthof set, but he needed the waffle maker to cook.”
