I recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell me some of the petty things they did to their S.O.s that they later regretted.
It turns out that while some of you do have regrets, others of you...not so much.
Here are some of the pettiest things people have done to their partners — regrettable and otherwise:
1. "My S.O. used to always keep a glass of water on his bedside table at nighttime. So, so many times I'd wake up in the middle of the night, and my cat would be there lapping up water from the glass. I didn't tell my SO until we'd lived together maybe a year. I just found it so funny, and the petty side of me really enjoyed that he was unknowingly drinking cat-spit water every night."
2. "When my ex suddenly ghosted me after a year and then married someone else and had a baby, I went online and bought a bag of candy penises and sent them to him at his office with a note that said, 'Eat a bag of dicks.' It was only $10 more for the explosion of dick confetti when he opened the box, and I felt like he’d earned it. No one else can give you closure. Bag o' dicks came close, though."
3. "My husband loves fresh huckleberries. He went huckleberry picking one year and picked a literal gallon. He was rationing them so that he could enjoy them a little at a time for as long as possible. We got into an argument one afternoon, and when he left for work, I ate all of the remaining huckleberries. There was about a half gallon left. I prefer blueberries tbh."
4. "I signed them up for Scientology. The calls, emails, and texts follow you for life."
5. "Very minor, but still...my then-bf and I had an argument about something I don't remember now. I slept on the couch to make him feel guilty for upsetting me enough that I slept somewhere uncomfortable instead of next to him. He didn't say anything if he even noticed. I haven't tried that since."
6. "I once took scissors and ripped my partner's jean pockets open, so all the stuff he puts in there will fall off through the pants."
7. "I turn off his plant lights when he's at work. I hate him so much; this passive thing to hurt his hobby (although the plants will still be fine, there's enough sunlight), it's all I have as a fuck you."
8. "4-5 months preggo, my husband annoyed me so much, I cut up his limited edition sneakers. He cried when he finally found them. I did feel kinda bad, but at least got my message across."
9. "When my ex, a sound technician, won an industry award, he was told to go online to fill in a form for them to use on the nameplate on his trophy. He was busy, so he asked me to do it. I was busy as well, so I put it on my To-Do list. Roughly a week later, I found out he used my card to replace his broken soldering kit without my knowledge and consent.
"He was away on a work trip, so I couldn't kick his arse all over the place. While seething, I noticed my To-Do list and decided to punish him. His name was Sven, and he really hated it when people misspelt his name, so I used the inscription form to spell it as Steven. I forgot about it by the time he came home roughly three weeks later. Turned out, he mistook my card for his, so he immediately paid back the amount. A couple of weeks later, his trophy arrived with the name Steven on the nameplate. I felt so bad that I offered to pay for the replacement, but he surprisingly found it funny enough to keep it as it was."
10. "I rubbed a Carolina Reaper on his deodorant. He deserved it, I promise. However, I had put the reaper on his backup deodorant, and he didn’t end up using the spicy deodorant until months later, long after our rough patch had passed. I felt awful lol."
11. "When I was young and stupid, I'd do the 'goodnight' text at 8 p.m. if my boyfriend was hanging out with friends instead of me. Or, I'd say, 'Hope you're having fun with your other girlfriend.' It was very dumb and childish, and I haven't done that in a long time."
12. "Poured sugar in his gas tank and took a hammer to his windows on his brand-new car. He was a POS, though. And I don’t regret it. I actually should have put nails in his tires, too. 🙄🤣"
13. "Sorry/not sorry. My ex-husband was a vegan, but I'm a meat eater. He worked out of town about three days a week. If he really pissed me off before he left town without being willing to resolve the issue, I'd cook bacon on the day he was scheduled to come home. Ahh...the smell of bacon."
14. "My ex lost it on me in the car one day because he didn’t like the music I put on. I mean full-blown yelling at me, calling me horrible names. When he got out of the car to grab something, I took my water bottle and dumped it all over his seat. It was fabric, not leather, so it soaked right in. We were running errands before going to a party, and every time he got out of the car, it looked like he’d pissed himself. He couldn’t figure out how it kept happening."
15. "I took one disc from each Star Trek series."
16. "We got into a huge fight, and I knew he used this one lotion every day. So, I poured bong water into it and shook it up so he would be using lotion mixed with bong water."
