Everyone’s had an awful breakup, yet some haunt us forever — whether it’s an ex creating chaos or our own rev::enge gone too far. Those stories stick, which makes us laugh or cringe for years.

1. The Tinder trap
So, last week, my coworker pulled me aside and said, “Your Tinder bio is hilarious, but maybe a little too honest?” Alarm bells

Turns out, my lovely ex had created a fake account using my photos and the bio: “Full-time mess, part-time plate juggler (literally—I dropped one last week). I own 12 plants but forgot to water 11. Swipe right if you can parallel park because I can’t.”

2. The wedding crasher extraordinaire

When he found out I was getting married, he RSVP’d to the wedding under a fake name. On the big day, he showed up dressed as a mime, complete with face paint, refusing to speak but mimicking everyone’s actions. He was eventually escorted out,

but not before leaving a trail of chaos and making my new in-laws question my family’s stability. My husband and I laugh about it now, calling him “The Mime Who Couldn’t Move On.”
