On the last day of 2019 people started sharing on Twitter the worst thing they did to an ex to exact revenge.

Sometimes Twitter takes a break from being a cesspool of hatred and instead becomes a playground of gossip and tall tales for users to gawk at.
On the last day of the year lots of people apparently wanted to get things they did to their exes off their chests and go into 2020 with a clean slate. On Tuesday, #WorstThingIDidToMYEx was trending on Twitter, and salacious stories started to come out about people serving dishes of cold revenge.
Graphic Warning:
She had cheated on me a week before Xmas and didn't know that I knew.
So, I gift-wrapped a 3 foot dildo in a box along with a brief breakup note then labeled to her "from Santa", and left it under her family's tree, which she opened in front of everyone.#WorstThingIDidToMyEx

He’d been fucking everything in Ohio with a heartbeat ~ while I was living in Michigan
So I called him & told him I was preg & didn’t want to have the baby ((I wasn’t preg))
He sent me a $300 money order
I went shopping ? and told him to fuck off ??#WorstThingIDidToMyEx

I feel bad but I was 20 and crazy and wouldn't do it to anyone now… …I took his toothbrush and gently brushed my anus for about 5 seconds then put it back for him to use.

Whether or not these are true stories is another matter, and it’d be a better world if most of them are just tall tales.
Others suggested taking the high road, moving on instead of exacting vicious vengeance.
Reading through #WorstThingIDidToMyEx ? Majority of you need your heads examined and to stay away from getting involved with anyone ever again. You ex dodged the bullet. The world is overpopulated with sick people, yikes.

Be the better person. Stopped arguing with him. Stopped caring about his opinion. Proved that I could publish without his support Showed him that I knew more about real love.
Most of all…he had to just sit there & WATCH me move on.

I did the worst thing a former lover can do. The coldest, most savage, and most uncompromising act imaginable.
I forgot her and moved on with my life completely.

Others’ revenge was pretty mild.

Meanwhile, some decided it probably wasn’t best to share the worst thing they’d done to an ex publicly.
I thought it'd be fun to join in on the #worstthingididtomyex trend but then I realized absolutely none of it was okay to publicize pic.twitter.com/RsEVy2qoru

Some gawkers suggested 2020 would be a good time for these people to see a shrink.
Looking at the responses to the #WorstThingIDidToMyEx hashtag, and I truly hope y’all stop wasting people’s time and go to therapy in 2020.
