Some breakups do not call for maturity. Some exes are so deserving of payback that it would be a grave injustice if you chose not to do something. Obviously, the sensible thing to do following a breakup is to take the high road and to trust that the best revenge is success and happiness. That being said, we cannot expect the anonymous folks from this Reddit thread to do the sensible thing in these situations. We can only expect drama and unnecessary overreactions because, let's be real here, th…

When you move in with your partner, all their quirks and eccentricities come out. Perhaps they've been hiding that they like to trim their toenails on the couch without cleaning up the remains afterward. Perhaps they've been hiding their inability to clean dishes or their tendency to fold and put away wet towels. All of these strange habits are included in the screenshots below, which were compiled from the following Redditors who boldly shared their stories of what happened after moving in wit…

“I could not miss this game,” admitted one guy who's probably about to get dumped. This guy decided to post to r/AmItheA****** with a question: “AITA for abandoning my girlfriend on top of a mountain?” In case commenters felt hasty to judge, u/moneytreesplease clarified that they know their summary sounded bad, but “it wasn't even a big mountain.” Well in that case, carry on. As a weekend hiker, this dude thought it'd be fun to get a quick hike in. Usually, they go alone, while their GF stays i…

Sometimes a promotion can actually be your downfall.

As someone who sports sweatpants and a hoodie for most of the year, I certainly don't have an aura of intimidating professionalism, but the guy in our next story realized how quickly our stylish social stigmas can derail a couple of employees.

There's no relationship more complicated than that of a person and their roommate's significant other. Like the parasitic third wheel in the house, even the nicest boyfriends and girlfriends can quickly become unlikeable, clogging up the fridge, leaving their belongings in communal spaces, and stealing the quality time you once had with your house-bestie.

Financial parasites can hunt for prey in a lot of ways, but the easiest targets are always the ones with generous spirits and a bleeding heart. While not everyone is wary of their romantic suitors in this department (especially if you're not particularly wealthy), disillusion doesn't mean that you're safe from a parasitic girlfriend or boyfriend.

Who doesn't love a creative way to get back at your ex? It almost comes with the territory of a bad breakup these days. If you've wronged someone, you better prepare yourself for some petty revenge. Look, I don't make the rules, but that's the way the cookie crumbles now. We have seen countless methods of that kind of revenge here at FAIL Blog from prank calling to cutting off your ex's power. All of these valid, but what's special about this case of petty revenge is that on first glance, it di…

The first, most embarrassing moment in every kid's life usually happens around middle school. You know, that moment that someone finds out about your crush and reveals it to the entire class? It's the first time your cheeks burn, your stomach drops, and you ever wish you could disappear into the floor. For those of us with a bleeding heart and a knack for making blunders in our love life, that feeling becomes all too familiar, but for the star of our next story, the searing shame of wearing his…

This lady decided it was time for her soon-to-be ex to pay up! After he spent the majority of their relationship refusing to pay for more than his fair share when he made over $100K more annually through his job, his girlfriend discovered that he had been spending nearly $1300 on other women. I guess it's hard to be frugal with your partner when you're spending so much money outside of the relationship. It gets better, though. She discovered the truth about all these other women while staying a…

‘I texted my mom… Siri read it out loud’

Who would be devious enough to devise an organized plan to kick their roommates out? This woman, apparently, who obviously has zero shame. The story is told from the perspective of her boyfriend, OP, who was living with her at the time that this all went down. He had a small inkling that she was cheating on him with a man she met at work. This man also happened to work at the apartment complex that OP and his girlfriend lived in. Why did OP think that she was cheating on him? Well, you know. Th…

Imagine finding out that your former fiancé is now living in the house you always hoped to buy one day. Well, that's what happens when you turn down the wrong guy. This woman cheated on her future husband at her bachelorette party, panicked, and called off the engagement right before the ceremony. She ended up marrying her high school boyfriend (who just happened to be at that bachelorette party… not suspicious at all). Unfortunately, this left her ex with an unrevealed wedding gift: the dream…

Thirst traps on LinkedIn and now job recruiters on Tinder? What on this gosh green earth will we come across next? It's almost as if we've stepped out of the bounds of reality and now are hurtling forward on some alternative bizarro timeline in which the rules of the universe have been completely flip-flopped.

We understand that phone-free zones are, in theory, a productive idea to help save chronically online folks like myself, but in practice, these policies never work. At a certain point, one has to wonder to what extent it's worth it to keep on enforcing silly rules like this given that people will always find a way to circumnavigate those rules or, if they do comply, they are not going to have a fun time doing it. On top of that, the reality is that in this day and age, you genuinely need access…

This story takes an unexpected turn when a woman discovers her seemingly perfect boyfriend is still involved with his ex-girlfriend. When the two women contacted each other, something about the ex-girlfriend's personality reminded the OP of some gifts her boyfriend had given her. So, she decided to ask the ex if she was missing anything. She was. She was missing the exact items that the OP had received from her boyfriend as a “gift”. But then, it's gets worse.
