    She took every single lightbulb from his place - fridge, porch, lamps and more - just so he could feel the darkness without her. I mean, he called her the light of his life... this is poetic justice!

    He kicked her out after five years, but she didn’t just leave - she took literally everything she bought, right down to towels, soap, and dishes. Empty house, full satisfaction!

    Noticed he was still on her Netflix? She let him watch almost the whole Breaking Bad finale, then bam! Deleted him from the account right before the climax. Cruel but clever.

    Found him on Tinder under a fake name, created a bogus profile using hot pics, hooked him with a super like, played him for a week - then ghosted with the ultimate mic drop text.
