The Pettiest Things People Have Ever Done In A Relationship

#1 The NBA's Loss

“My ex was a low-life with a pipe dream of being in the NBA, so that meant he had no job because he needed to ‘practice’ (wasn’t even that good). I was paying for everything. He eventually asked me if I could pay $200+ so he could go to a D-league camp. Well, he started treating me cold AF after I paid, and he broke up with me because he was ‘going to be very busy soon, and wouldn’t have time’ for me. I lost my shit. I called the place where the tryout was and asked for my money back. They said no at first, but eventually a little girl power happened and a woman gave me my money back and took him off the roster. He didn’t know until the day of the tryout. He blames me for his lack of career. It was really his lack of left-handed ball control laziness on defense, but I’ll accept the blame graciously.”

#2 God'll Get You For That

“My boyfriend wouldn’t let me watch a show on the big TV because football. He didn’t know that my phone worked as a remote, so I kept changing it to the Catholic channel right as someone was going to score.”

#3 A Lawsuit Waiting To Happen

When my boyfriend was lying about his whereabouts, I sent a mariachi band to his apartment every night from 12 to 5 am for eight days straight while he was studying for the bar exams. He failed them and blames me. LOL.

#4 Me So Horny

“My husband is a big fan of the New Orleans Saints and had a beloved Joe Horn jersey. I don’t recall the circumstances of our argument, but I made my way to his closet with an industrial-size Sharpie and neatly printed a ‘Y’ on the jersey. We resolved our differences and I forgot about it until I got a call from him on his lunch break months later. He told me he had gotten strange looks from co-workers all day and someone asked if he thought he was being funny. He was directed to a mirror and informed that he had been wearing a HORNY jersey at his office’s Sports Day. OOOPS!”

#5 Spiller Alert

“Once during a really heated argument, my husband decided he was ‘done talking’ aka shutting down communication with no resolution. He stormed out of the house and told me he was going to go see a movie. Since I knew what he was going to see, as he had been talking about it for weeks, I Googled spoilers for the movie and texted him them while he was on the drive there. He returned shortly after and told me what an asshole I was. Still worth it, though.”

#6 Guilty As Charged

“I was out for dinner with a guy (that I’m currently still seeing) and we got into a bit of an argument. Naturally, I always like to have the last word, so when I didn’t get it, I decided to get a little petty. Back at his place I mashed up his iPhone charger just enough so it wouldn’t work properly, and then I ate his leftover Popeye’s biscuits in the fridge while he was in the bathroom. It was difficult to keep a straight face when he woke up the next morning and his phone wasn’t charged.”

#7 Bagel Frisbee

“Years ago my husband and I got into an argument. I was so mad I didn’t know what to say to him, so I picked his bagel up off his plate, opened the back door, and chucked it like a frisbee off the balcony.”

#8 Prom Queen..?

“When I was in high school, my boyfriend had a really obnoxious female friend who I didn’t care for. He wanted to go to her party after prom, but I was specifically not invited. He chose to go without me, so I chose to bring his hot college friend to prom instead of going with him. Pettiest thing I have ever done.”

#9 Don't Spread 'It'

“Years ago, when we were on a break, I saw my boyfriend at a party flirting with another girl. I walked over, played nice, then told him the doctor had called and wanted me to remind him to finish all the antibiotics so he didn’t spread ‘IT’ to anyone else. We’ve been married 27 years and have five kids. They’re the only real STDs we’ve ever had! Yes, that’s a joke. Yes, my kids laugh at it, too!”

#10 No More Free Netflix

“He still had my Netflix, so I waited until he finished the second to last episode of some show to change my password.”

#11 Something Smells Fishy

“I took out my phone at Thanksgiving dinner to see that my ex-live-in boyfriend changed his relationship status to single. Thousands of texts and voicemails later we broke up (he was cheating). My stepdad, a super jolly old guy, was just as angry as I was. He told me to put shrimp inside the hollow part of the curtain rods and close them up. I’m not sure how bad the outcome was since we haven’t had contact since then, but I’m sure he wasn’t bringing home any new girls until he figured it out.”

#12 It's Just A Little Gas Problem

“I had an on-and-off-again long-term boyfriend. At the time, we were kinda getting back into the ‘on’ stages. He was dating a girl I knew from school, so I took a picture with him and made it my profile pic and then went to add the girl on Facebook. She denied the request and broke things off with him.

“At that same time he also had an OKC account, so I went on his laptop and changed all his profile information to be about farts. In things about him: he just loved farts. The seven things he can’t live without: farts.”

—Sara Heinemeyer, Facebook

#13 He Looks Fab-U-Lous

After I broke up with my ex, my friends wanted to get revenge when helping me move out, so they sprinkled glitter all over his bed and couch. They also sprayed his straws with Lysol. He was passed out in the bed and woke up covered in glitter, all through his hair and beard!

#14 The Half Dollar

“I gave him a box of $300 worth of half-dollars to pay him back, unrolled. The bank won’t take them back that way, and coin counting machines won’t take half dollars. It weighed about 20 pounds.”

—kaitlint4d0ac85e4

#15 The Fountain Of Past Loves

“My ex broke up with me (for the third time) because there was ‘someone else,’ so I threw all his stuff in the fountain on my campus quad and put it on Snapchat. Apparently, his brother saw the snap and said, ‘I feel like as his brother I should be mad, but he kinda deserved it.’”

#16 That's Just Cheesy

My ex thought it would be funny to cheat on me so I hid all types of mouldy blue cheese in his car. He only used his car at the weekend, so when he got into it, the cheese had been melting in the hot weather for about a week.

#17 What Is Petty, Alex?

My husband thinks he's smarter than everyone in the world. He watches Jeopardy on TV every night after dinner and thinks he's pretty smart. I started watching ti earlier, at 3 o'clock, and now we sit together and I answer all the questions. He's not as smart as I am!

#18 Baby Dick Davis

This guy I used to date in high school thought I was jealous of his new girlfriend (I wasn’t), so he started to tell all these crazy, exaggerated sexual secrets about me. So to reciprocate, my petty ass decided to tell our class of 452 how small his penis is. Now he’s known as “Baby Dick Davis”. Bam, bitch.

#19 She's Got Spunk

“I knew an ex was talking to people on the side, so I bought a burner phone. I made a fake account on the dating app he used, matched with him, and gave him my fake number. We texted for days and planned to meet up. I finally confronted him the night he was supposed to meet his match, specifically for drinks and then kinky sex. He tried to argue that the whole thing would have never happened, and it wasn’t actually cheating because the sex never happened.”

#20 Did Someone Say 'CRAZY'?

When my boyfriend and I got into an argument, I took all of the light bulbs from our apartment while he was taking a walk to cool off. I took the one out of the oven, and I even took the vacuum cleaner because it had a light. I left with a bag full of light bulbs and stayed at a friend’s house that night.
