Breakups hurt. While many people might cry, block their ex, eat an unreasonable amount of ice cream, and eventually move on, that’s certainly not the only way people deal with heartbreak. Some decide that if their relationship is over, they might as well make sure their ex remembers it—and that’s where things can get seriously petty.
Today’s story is all about those moments. When someone on Threads asked, “What’s the pettiest thing you did after a breakup? And don’t say ‘I blocked their number.’ BORING. I’m talking borderline insanity,” the answers came pouring in. From ridiculous revenge moves to decisions that probably seemed like a good idea at the time, people shared just how far they went after getting their hearts broken. Keep reading to see some of the pettiest (and most ridiculous) things people did after a breakup.

Took out the front end of his prized jeep that was sitting in our garage, with a 10 pound hand weight. I told him it was a substitute for his head and he should be happy.

My ex moved out on me with an agreement I’d move out in a month for good. Fair enough. I took care of the place. But the night before the move, I grabbed the wedding tape, taped over the tab, and pushed RECORD on the overnight weather channel. Whether or not she ever found out I do not know. It felt good.

First- I came while he was at work to get all my things. I left him nothing but a half gallon of milk(that I spit in)…. Then a week later- I slashed three of his tires at like 3am. THEN - I didn’t even have to lift a finger, because the universe said HOLD ON. The girl he cheated with, got attacked by a racoon and had to be treated for rabies at the apartment I just moved from. AND THEN. His flight had to be diverted because he had a heart attack at 31.

I told everyone we know all of the awful things he did during our relationship, all the secrets I'd been keeping for him. 10/10 would do again.

He liked his mugs lined up a certain way and freaked out when one broke and couldn't find the replacement so when I left I took just one. He brought it up years later. He's like I know you took my mug. Another one I sent all his evil texts to me to all of his family members with a goodbye note. They took my side, well almost all of them.

He lived with his parents, and I wrote them a letter saying sorry that their son was so arrogant and they would never see me again. Truly embarrassing.

Friend broke up with them and sent every single screenshot I had of them lying about me; to their new gf and the head of the mutual activity club we shared. Their gf dumped them and they got banned from the mutual space.
