Break ups are hard and many heartbroken people find themselves searching for ways to get revenge on the person who screwed them over.
Many do this by flooding their social media pages with glamorous photos and selfies to show their ex what they're missing.
But this plan is often scuppered if the ex decides to block or hide their account.
After finding herself in this position, social media star Andrea Russett believes she found a way around it - claiming it's the ultimate form of revenge.
Andrea, who has 1.5m followers on Instagram, splashed out £750 promoting photos of herself on the platform so her snaps appeared on her ex's timeline.
Sharing her plan on TikTok to the sound of Patsy Cline's hit song Crazy, she wrote: "The time I paid $1000 [£750] to have a selfie of myself promoted on Instagram directly to my ex's demographic so he had to constantly see my face."
Her fans were quick to praise her creative idea in the comment section.
One wrote: "I wish I'd thought of this after my last relationship."
Another added "I admire you for that moment, always lmao" while a third wrote: "This is crazy, how do I do it?"
Others were keen to try her cheeky idea herself, with one commenting: "Me struggling to pay last month's rent but still would do this."
While Andrea's plan may have caused some upset, it probably didn't do much long term harm - but one woman decided to get her revenge by spilling his work secrets to his boss.
While working from home during the pandemic, the man worked out a way to shorten his working day from his paid eight hours into just two by using a database to do the calculations for him rather than working it out himself.
This meant all he had to do was edit the workings out together.
The man said he shared this info with his girlfriend, who worked at the same company, but then they broke up and she used it against him - sharing his screen with his boss and revealing how much time he spent slacking off.
Taking to Reddit, the man said: "After some time I broke up with her, we tried our best but I wasn't feeling it as much as she was and I felt it would be better to end it sooner than later. The breakup seemed somewhat peaceful.
"Two days later I got called into HR at work for a disciplinary hearing. To my horror, I was presented with screenshots of my activity of the previous days: memes, trading activity, news reading, YouTube and even a tally of how many hours I actually worked vs how much I wasted.
"Turns out my ex shared my screen via Microsoft Skype when I went on a smoke break, recorded all my actions for the day and then reported me to HR.
"I should've actually worked my hours in, I shouldn't have tried to impress my ex, and I definitely should have noticed my screen was being shared."
The man went on to say that he almost lost his job because of the incident, but luckily he just hung onto it.
