Pretty sure this is the premise of a couple true crime stories...

There are few luxuries that a cheating ex can remain privy to after a divorce… and free-reign of the communal Netflix account is NOT included in this alimony.

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.

It's no secret that minimum wage has been nearly the same for decades, except all of our expenses are getting exponentially higher. Back in the 80's a mom could buy a haul of groceries to feed a family of 4 for a week for $20 and now, couples with only a cat to care for are spending 10x that amount just for basics at Trader Joe's. Hmm… Where did we go wrong here?

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.

What do you think about this situation? So, a married couple is living together and expecting a baby together. Her husband was previously married with kids until he divorced his ex-wife after she cheated on him. The husband let his ex and kids stay in their fully paid-off home, and he moved out. Fast forward a bit, and the ex loses the house and is left with no money (we're still a little confused about how that happened). She's now in an apartment. The OP's husband wants to buy her another hou…

Have you ever had a nasty breakup where your ex tried to take something that was rightfully yours? Maybe it was a car, a TV, or even a pet. Well, one Reddit user had to deal with a cat-napping ex who thought he could hold their beloved kitty hostage, but she wasn’t going to let him get away with it. The story involves a toxic relationship, a fake death, a tattoo that went too far, and an orange cat named Tigger (also referred to as Dinglebumb). It’s a story of deception, drama, and determinatio…

Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

Homeowner associations are notorious for their tyrannical enforcement of bizarre policies that were drafted by a collection of the worst sort of neighbors who have nothing better to do but worry about what other people are doing. This story was initially posted by u/SpurredOneLastTime (OP) to the r/entitledpeople subreddit and then crossposted by a fascinated reader to the r/f***HOA subreddit community. The OP tells the tale of his ex-wife's final act of retribution that saw him embroiled in le…

Divorce, unfortunately, is almost never final… whether ongoing custody battles, financial disputes, or fending off repeated slights from a crazy ex—it's going to haunt you. That being said, there are those who have come to the end of their romantic relationship who somehow manage to make things work and still be friends. Surprising, I know, but it gives me hope that some people do have the capability to be decent and rational. Well, this guy, Redditor u/Nerd_Law, is continuing to be haunted by…

Some people feel like everyone is out to screw them over, probably because they're out to screw everyone else over and assume everyone thinks the way that they do. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." We project far more of ourselves than we realize when we give our opinion to others. If you think you Sometimes we

This woman exacted some seriously petty revenge on her boyfriend and best friend after she discovered the two were having a secret relationship behind her back. She then returned to the comment section to share how her petty revenge had sowed the seeds of discord between the new couple after her departure – which led to the couple breaking up. Yesterday we shared the original version of this story, in which the woman shared the story of her revenge to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit. She then…

Certain instances of cheating can never be forgiven: Taking extra monopoly money while acting as the banker during a family board game night, using illicit vibrating devices to receive secret messages during a high-ranked chess tournament, and, of course, engaging in a secret relationship with your spouse's best friend behind your spouse's back. If you find yourself betrayed by any one of these, the only recourse is to ditch out on everyone you know and love, hit the gym, and start a new life.…

It's all Netflix and no chill over here. In a hilarious act of petty revenge, this dude decided to troll his ex's Netflix account in order to mildly inconvenience her life and exact a little revenge on her for cheating on him all those years ago. That might just be the most surprising thing about this post, it's not as if they broke up yesterday; the user writes that she dumped him “A few years back,” which means he has been holding onto this desire to get even for some time. We've probably all…

This woman went to check the joint account she held with her boyfriend after catching him cheating the night before to her horror he had cleaned out the entire thing. To add insult to injury, essentially all of the money in the account was hers which made him not only a cheater but a thief too. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ ProRevenge subreddit by user u/Revolutionary_Ant209 who shared the story of her absolutely brutal revenge . See, the thing was, her ex held a lot of debt. Debt recov…

This pastry chef's entitled pregnant ex-girlfriend is carrying his child and her rampage through his shop with her friends has left him out thousands of dollars of product. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TIFU subreddit by Redditor u/098765439, who shared their story with the title “TIFU by leaving a massive order alone with my now ex and her 14 friends.” You can already see right away where this is going and, in a post where you can feel their seething rage in every word, they dug into th…
