Petty Betty at its finest.
When someone finds out their ex is cheating, sometimes the pettier the action, the better, like keying their car à la Carrie Underwood or staining their clothes before returning them.
However, one woman took the cake on the petty thing she did to her unfaithful beau, and it didn’t involve his belongings but instead — her Netflix account.
Posting in the r/pettyrevenge forum on Reddit, she proudly shared her story, writing: “…my ex cheated and we broke up but apparently still felt entitled to my Netflix.”
She explained that he had the nerve to create a new profile on her account to watch the shows the couple would watch together “on my dime.”
“I didn’t yell, didn’t revoke access, but renamed the profile to “Cheater,” switched it to toddler mode…no violence and max parental locks. Even the avatar was a sad cartoon monkey.”
The most hilarious part is that the disloyal guy was annoyed his girlfriend did this — it is her account after all — and texted her, “Seriously?” in which she replied with an iconic one-word response: “Seriously.”
“[I] Then changed the password and blocked him. Enjoy your cartoons, loser. I’m watching ‘Bridgerton’ in peace,” the vindicated woman wrote.
Many devious Reddit users responded, sharing their similar stories using streaming services to get back at an ex.
“I annoyed the hell out of my ex by locking him out of the Amazon account. He was really financially irresponsible and I didn’t want to risk him running up the credit card…He was pissed because he was in the middle of some shows,” one revealed.
Another person chimed in writing, “I let my ex use my account for 6 months until winter set in where he lived and I heard from mutual friends he was snowed in. THEN I changed the password.”
“I did the same with Spotify after a nasty separation. Changed the settings to low-quality sound while on cellular data, disabled songs with swear words in them, then made a playlist called ‘I miss ex’s name’ which consisted of only Lily Allen’s song ‘F**k you’ (which couldn’t even be played),” read a savage comment.
“My ex would also use my Netflix after we broke up. I changed the password the day of the Game of Thrones finale,” quipped another commenter.
Getting even via Netflix is not the only way exes are going about it — some are showing up with receipts.
“I was in bed lying next to him when I saw I had a new message request from a girl who he’d been messaging,” Melissa Viegas told Kennedy News about how she discovered her ex was cheating.
“So I ended up cutting them out and putting them in a ‘Sorry for your loss’ card,” explained Viegas.
“I showed up to his work and gave him the card. He opened it, stared at it a while.”
Bet that taught him a lesson.
