'She's bankrupt, I'm debt free': Boyfriend serves epic karma to cheating girlfriend by playing the long game

Breakups are never easy, especially if you're married and even more especially if one of the partners does something to sever the trust you two might of had. It's what heartbreak is. It takes a longtime for someone in a relationship to have that epiphany that it needs to end, and it never feels good when you have it, but at least you know what has to be done now. 

A guy on Reddit recently shared his breakup drama from his past and his epic revenge he got one his cheating wife. He writes in r/pettyrevenge the long game he played to get his comeuppance. He found out that she had been cheating on him and just overall treating him poorly for a while now. So they split. However, they owned a home together and were splitting mortgage payments. After they split, he continued to pay his portion and even paid a head of time so he wouldn't have to worry. However, he found out that his toxic ex just stopped paying her half and was letting his advance payments over her. He was so upset, that he called the mortgage company and worked out a plan. He was going to stop paying his half and if she couldn't afford her half, they were welcomed to foreclose. The laws are different in Australia, where the poster is from, so since he was working on some sort of eventual payment plan with the mortgage company, his credit didn't suffer. However, his ex wife's did and she had to sell her car, file for bankruptcy, and overall her life took a hit by karma. 

He eventually was able to buy back the house, move in with his new wife, and now they recently sold it for a little profit. So though it was the long game, taking years to unfold, he truly got the revenge he needed. Read the entire story below!

'She still looked upset': Bridesmaid insists on chocolate-free wedding

A bride and her bridesmaid are unsure what to do about this request from the bridesmaid, and it seems like no one can agree on the best course of action. 

U/Old-Material-6136 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole seeking advice. It's a sticky situation, to be sure: she and her fiancé both adore chocolate, and it was even part of the way they met each other. They wanted to incorporate the chocolate theme into their wedding, which sounds delicious for almost everyone involved. One of the bridesmaids made it clear that she cannot have any chocolate, and has worries about the food being at the event.

20+ Marriage Fails for Bickering Couples

You're not a real couple if you don't bicker every now and then. It's part of the charm of being in a committed relationship. Personally, I'm of the opinion that healthy bickering can be a good thing, provided that both parties can laugh at the situation. Besides, the two of you are bound to annoy each other at some point, so you might as well make light of matters. That means occasionally pulling each other's leg and, respectfully and within reason of course, pushing each other's buttons. 

 

If the following memes, tweets, and fails serve as any indication, healthy bickering is clearly a common occurrence. What's far less common are couples who pretend that absolutely everything is perfect 100% of the time. That's how divorce happens, whereas the couples who bicker healthily and joke about the highs and the lows are more likely to be the ones who last.

Job Applicant Undergoes Four Rounds of Interviews and Free Labor Only To Be Rejected

It's time to talk about all the free work people have to complete in order to just be considered for a job. Of course, we understand that assignments are sometimes necessary to see if what a candidate claims they can do can actually be done. But if the assignment is extensive and fully reflective of the workload they might take on for an actual project, pay them for it! If that's not possible, then demand less. All of this should be a two-way street.

 

This Redditor had to undergo four rounds of interviews and then a vague project, only to be rejected and told that they did not meet the expectations of the project. Apparently, they were expecting a full pitch deck with data despite not mentioning any of this information in the prompt. Unless you're hiring for the position of Mind Reader, this process is extremely unfair. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments. For more, here's a story about a shady orientation.

'Give me my change!': Customer gets dozens of Sacagawea dollar coins as change for $100 bill after demanding ‘change’ for buying 10 cent candy

Dramatic customers are a dime a dozen, barking orders at cashiers, clerks, waiters, and the like, with a sure sense of entitlement that allows them access to the vast club of Karens. One customer approached an unsuspecting cashier, obviously in a bad mood, buying candy for ten cents, yet handing the cashier a $100 bill. The cashier explained he didn't have enough change, and offered the candy 'on the house'. The dude replied rudely, and demanded that the cashier do his job, adding that he is 'required by law' to give him change.

The cashier wasn't having it. But instead of denying the customer his request, he opted instead to give him exactly what he wanted. In other words, he maliciously complied. See, he gave him 99 Sacagawea coins, which are basically big dollar coins. They're not comfortable to handle, and they aren't quite the thing you'd like to carry around in the form of nearly $100. Scroll down to read about the customer's reaction.

'I walked out of a shady orientation': Job-seeker ditches out of orientation for new job after spotting red flags

Trying to find a new job is exhausting, essentially becoming a full-time job itself—which can make the prospect of finding a new job seem impossible when you're trying to escape your current terrible one. Writing cover letters for jobs you never hear back from, sitting multiple interviews only to be ghosted, and being intentionally misled about a job you've interviewed for all can be huge wastes of time, often wasting weeks of hard work and dashing hopes. On top of that, you now have to be incredibly wary of red flags that the job isn't a job at all, but rather part of some MLM scheme or a straight-up scam.

For one, when interviewing, you should always be wary of the "walk back" as a manipulation tactic. I don't know what this is actually called, but it's often used in sales and scams. The seller starts by offering something acceptable and slowly changes the terms of the deal to something that might have been unacceptable to start with but is now reluctantly accepted due to the sunk cost of invested time. Consecutive slight alterations to figures or terms should always raise red flags, and if something doesn't seem right, you should always trust your gut instinct, just as this job-seeker did.
