While school bullies may get a laugh in movies, there’s nothing funny about having one in real life.
“I had a bully in middle school who used to torment the life out of me by beating me up, pouring water on me, locking me in bathrooms, making fun of my weight, etc.”

Ahh, Facebook. It lets us see what our classmates are up to – and even helps with revenge plans.
“I recently saw on Facebook that he’s engaged, so I stupidly thought of a petty revenge plan.”

The bully couldn’t wait to find out who his new friend was. He posed as a pretty woman using an old Instagram account and messaged him.
“20 minutes later, he messaged me back. We chatted where I pretended to be a woman, and he began to flirt.”
Screenshots, or There’s No Proof

Seeing the bully’s lack of respect for his fiancé, the poster hit the send button on the romance and upcoming nuptials and let the fiancè in on her amour’s cheating habits.
To ensure he showed proof, he screenshotted all private messages in case the bully would delete them – including the pictures the bully sent the “beautiful woman.”

One reader was OK with continuing the petty long game.
“Now for phase 2. Date his ex, and send him pics.”

One reader wanted to spin the relationship even more.
“Yeah, pro-level effort with pro results would have been proposing to her after she broke up with the bully. Then sending pics of the wedding and honeymoon vacation to the bully.”
Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater

One reader had a thought regarding the bully and his questionable loyalty to his partners.
“If it was that easy, he’s probably cheated on her before. (Also, if she broke up the engagement that quickly, she probably had her suspicions or even evidence of other times, etc.). In the long run, you helped her. I would have wanted the same in her position.”
A Perfect Dose of Pettiness

“Yeah, this was truly perfect because nobody can argue that ‘he might have grown as a person’ or that ‘he didn’t deserve to be punished for stuff he did as a stupid kid.'”
If the bully had matured into a decent adult, he would have ignored OP.
The Poster Did the Girl a Favor by Calling Out the Bully

“You actually did her a favor by revealing that your bully is also a cheater. Who knows who else he has cheated on her with? This is definitely not his first stint. He got what he deserved.”
Too Petty of a Reaction for Some

“Interesting question. Ruining someone’s marriage over bullying? Probably too big of a reaction, depending on how bad it was. But you didn’t actually ruin his marriage. He did. He made the choice to send that stuff, even though he was engaged.”
The Bully Was Given a Chance to Show He’s Changed

“No. You didn’t make him do anything he didn’t want to do. He had the chance to show he’s changed, and he hasn’t; his fiancé deserves to be with someone who loves and respects her. Now, hooking up with his Ex-fiancé, that would be too much.”
Is Catfishing Truly Petty Enough?

“IDK if I think of catfishing as petty. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a lie, and the childhood offense was pretty egregious. Petty revenge should be for an offense that a person who is less petty would ignore, like an HOA Karen. Childhood bullying that involves false imprisonment doesn’t spring to mind as being something petty.”
