It’s a common saying – but how true is it?
One Facebook user found out after requesting people’s wildest break up revenge stories.
Posting to Family Lowdown Tips and Ideas, a group which has 1.2 million members, the user asked others for the “pettiest thing” they have done to get back at an ex.
And the replies were shocking, with 333 people writing back with their most jaw-dropping acts of vengeance.
Clothing collateral damage
While putting their broken hearts back together, some women headed straight for their exes’ wardrobes.
The found a load of inventive ways to ensure their exes wouldn’t have any date night outfits left.
One woman wrote: “Put glitter in all his stuff when packing it up, in all the pockets, shoes, the whole lot.”
A scorned bride wrote: “My ex left me for the wedding florist 12 weeks before our wedding.
“I took all his clothes into her florist shop and scattered them everywhere.”
Another person chimed in: “I know someone who cut all the armpits out of all his shirts and put them back in the wardrobe.”
Betrayal baking
One of the most gag-worthy comebacks included some callous cooking.
