Redditors gathered on this r/AskReddit thread to share their examples of what they felt were the best and biggest moments of this in history. There's also one example that a random person felt like sharing where they got nuclear revenge on their cousin who kept stealing their boyfriends. So, yeah, that's a thing too.
Is there an example that isn't included in this thread? Let us know in the comments!
