I got the ick with my man’s shoe habit so sought revenge when we split – it was petty but gave me so much satisfaction
SHE’D been living with him for three years when he one day turned around and “ceremoniously dumped” her.
And as she struggled to come to terms with the fact that her “bore” of a man had been the one to call time on their romance, a woman has explained how she sought revenge.
The hilarious story was revealed on Luisa Zissman and Anna Williamson’s podcast LuAnna: The Podcast, after the woman had written in.
“I packed a bag and left and returned the next day to collect my things,” she had written, the hosts revealed in a video on their TikTok page.
“I was alone in the house and after a night of weeping, the anger was setting in as I went from room to room packing my belongings.
“I was seething.
“I wanted to do something which would leave my mark.
“It had to be something which would affect his day to day life.
“A small irritation causing only the slightest of inconvenience, but something that I could quietly chuckle to myself about each day of the coming week.”
She went on to say that her ex, who “prided himself on a sharp suit and smart polished shoes”, had a habit that gave her “the ick” during the course of their relationship.
“There is something about a man who holds himself to such a height of sophistication, bending over every morning to use a small contraption created to help his foot glide easily into a shoe,” she added.
So, as she packed up her belongings, she decided to take his shoe horn with her.
A week later, she bumped into a friend of his, and was told that her ex had been forced to order a new shoe horn, with his pal taking delivery of it.
“It really made me laugh,” she concluded.
“And the satisfaction of knowing that he had missed this small contraption enough to order another was a small win that I needed during a very upsetting time.”
“You two make me laugh so loud!” one person commented on the video.
“The way you tell these stories are hilarious!”
“See it’s the smallest level of pettiness that has the biggest impact and I LOVE IT,” another added.
“This is my level of petty,” a third commented.
“Omg after that I would’ve made it my mission to send him like 10 shoe horns a month over & over until he couldn’t take it anymore!” someone else said.
