People Reveal The Pettiest Thing Their Ex Took From Them In The Divorce
Dec 10, 2024
Divorce is rarely ever easy and fun.
No one exits unscathed.
And besides the emotional trauma of it all, you must deal with the mundane and boring minutia.
The topic of "who gets what and why" can bring out the pure evil in everybody.
I've seen divorces where people ripped up carpeting because they chose the color.
Never mind the kids and the pets and the plants.
You haven't seen anything until you've seen people reclaiming light bulbs at midnight.
I kid you not.
People really get into the power of the petty.
And petty ain't pretty.
Redditor baninaday wanted to hear about all of the belongings people's exes have cruelly absconded with, so they asked:
"Divorcees of Reddit, what's the pettiest thing they took from you in the divorce?"
Solids
"My rock collection. I started it when I was a kid and collected cool rocks from different places I'd traveled around the world. 30+ years of cool rocks. Three years later still mad."
- getmeasodaplease
"That is pretty rotten. But since your collection was yours before you got married, she owes you money for that. Just to be petty. Unless you weren't married, then whatever, they're gone. She threw them out the window on her way home."

The Missing Piece
"I was doing a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle during the separation. On the way out after coming to get his stuff, he took a piece out of the puzzle box. I never got it back 😂."
- RedDora89
"As a kid, I used to build World War II model airplanes. Spent hours upon hours on each one. Whenever I would get into a fight with my sister, she'd sneak into my room and snap off one of the blades on the propeller. You can't glue them back on. It would absolutely ruin the model and when I complained to Mom, she cared about it as much as if I told her my sister had killed a fly. Eventually, she did this until every single one was irrevocably ruined, and I threw them all out. Your jigsaw puzzle reminded me of that."

Who's Kyle?
"I was in Shreveport gambling with the guys for a friend's bachelor party and had found out my wife was cheating about 2 weeks before. I did some recon and found out his name. She called me incessantly asking about 'who this girl was and who that girl was' I'd been drinking, so I outright asked her 'Who's Kyle?'... Silence. I told her we were comped another night and I'd be home by 3 pm the next day, get your sh*t and go and turned my phone off."
"She got her 3 brothers together and came and cleaned the house out... almost everything. Blinds, curtains, toilet brush all of it. They got razor blades and sliced all my clothes up as well as the carpets. They left all the utensils but bent them all.
I came home the next day, walked in, and immediately started laughing. I went to the yard, grabbed a lawn chair, brought it in, and sat down.
"I turned on my phone, and not 2 minutes later, she's calling... 'I took this, I took that, you got nothing blah, blah, blah.' I let her go on and on, and then she asked, 'How do you like that?' My answer was, 'As long as you are gone, everything else can be replaced, including you,' and hung up. We never spoke again and my lawyer got the damages paid for in the divorce. Win, win."
- Nine_and_a_Quarter
Do you know Eduardo Sanchez?
"We had gone no contact, and he didn't show up to the divorce hearing. It was an uncontested and simple divorce, so no big deal. Except that when the judge started reviewing the documents, she said 'Do you know Eduardo Sanchez?'"
"When he was served papers, he signed a false name, and nobody, including my attorney, thought to check until we were in court. No way to prove it, but I could tell from the judge's eye roll that he was fu*king me over one last time."
"So, he took an extra month from me and additional legal fees because my incompetent attorney refused to admit that they had absolutely failed me on the most basic action I hired them to complete."
- filthyantagonist
Do you know how much eggs cost?!?!
"THIS IS MY MOMENT!!! He left the condo after months of begging. I was working. Said he was going to take half of everything. I came home and he did as he said. Eventually, go to the fridge to make dinner. Open fridge. He LITERALLY CUT THE CARTON OF EGGS IN HALF!!!! I laughed my a** off and never mentioned it to him and now we are great friends who co-parent our daughter wonderfully."
- Striking_Guava_5100
To Cut or Not to Cut?
"She took my chainsaw. WTF she's never going to use the chainsaw."
- rscottyb86
"To cut things in half, obvs."

So What Laughing GIF by P!NKGiphy
Crazy!
"I came home one day and the house was empty. Like completely empty. The ice cubes were taken out of the freezer. What kind of sick bi**h takes the ice cubes out of the freezer?"
- TriscuitCracker
"I had a Senior NCO go out the NTC (Army National Training Center) for a 30-day rotation. The house was completely empty except for a three-pound log of ground beef that she put on the kitchen counter on day 10 of the rotation from the smell that pervaded the house. On base housing, too."
- Mike7676
"My cousin's wife did that. She even dug up all the vegetables in the garden."
- zim3019
Almost 30 Years
"I was working 24 on/24 off shifts as a surgery resident in a big city ER. After she told me she wanted a divorce on my birthday, she packed up. One day I came home and everything was in boxes and she was gone. Was too tired to look in any of the boxes. Worked another 24 and came home, boxes were gone, and I had only a few utensils in the kitchen. Had to buy some paper plates and plastic utensils in order to eat."
"As others have said, everything is replaceable, and her replacement was a massive upgrade, we've been married almost 30 years. And she missed out, I'm in my 60s now and my life has been great."
- getridofwires
How to Shower?
"The shower curtain. After forcing me out of her home, insisting that I find an apartment immediately (note: I am away from my home state and have no family or friends to rely on) I slept in my car within transitions until my apartment lease could be signed. It was the day I signed and took about the full 24 hrs moving everything to and from by myself. I’m sweaty and exhausted and all I wanted was a shower. The only box I had discovered she took something from was from my toiletries. Never been so pissed off in my life to see that missing."
- Medical_Asparagus_98
Not the Hole!
"One time, a woman came into the bar I was working at and was tipping big. She was cute, respectful, and, again, a great tipper. It turns out that she was the now ex-wife of one of the shi**ier regulars, and she was there to make him uncomfortable. He tried complaining about her being there, and I kicked him out. This lady became a friend of mine, but she's so petty that she took her ex-husband's watering hole from him."
- Master_Air_8485
Guilty as Charged!
"I don't know if it fits here but here we go, because I was the taker 😅. First serious relationship, together for 6 years. Agreed to get a house together, since he was earning more than me, he agreed to purchase the house for us (in his name) and I will cover the interior/furnishing expenses."
"2 years after moving in together, found out he was cheating with a colleague, had a fight, and left, He called, cried, and begged to come back which I did only to find out he was still seeing the other girl, so I finally decided to walk out for good."
"Found out his schedule and layover details through a friend (he is a pilot), went home when he was out of town, packed everything I bought which was everything (there was nothing left except his clothes on the floor and empty house) including all the gifts I gave him and left a note saying I am taking what's mine, you keep yours."
"Got a not so gentleman like a call in 2 days and his exact words were, 'You took the garbage bag and disposable plates too?'"
- shi**ytherapistofdog
Oh Scottie...
"My ex collected Scottie dog figurines and the like. Someone had given me a bottle of black and white scotch for Christmas. He insisted the bottle was his because it had a Scottie dog on it. He didn’t even drink!"
- LifeHappenzEvryMomnt
Tick-Tock
"I kept this big a** clock. I told her you can take anything and everything in this house but you are not getting that clock. It was a weekend of non-stop begging for this damn clock that I wouldn’t have paid $30 for. It was listed at almost $300. I gave in and bought it. When divorce time came her stupid a** clock was the only thing I didn’t want her to have."
- Different-Version359
"My ex insisted on keeping our big clock that I picked out. It was one of the few things he did not want to give in on. When I moved in with him he had no decorations hanging or any clocks up. It wasn’t super expensive, got it at Lowe’s, and he probably needs it more than me."
"I got the Keurig, the PlayStation, and a huge comfy white chair that rocks back and forth. Although, if you lean too far back you’ll fall backward. I didn’t know that until I sat in it after hours of unpacking and setting up my bed."
- LindsayLoserface
EVERYTHING in its place...
"Mine was kind of the opposite? He left me with EVERYTHING. I was left dealing with a 5 bedroom house with a pool in the suburbs while he took a suitcase of clothes and peaced out. I had to deal with realtors, moving vans, painters, and a house full of furniture with nowhere to put it and nowhere to go. I’m still cranky about it."
- i_am_regina_phalange
Nasty, nasty stuff...
Not so much of a take, but a d**k-move low-blow. My ex cleaned out my house days after I left for war in the Middle East… moved the crap she didn’t want into a storage unit… and made sure my fancy military uniforms I wasn’t using overseas (think the Navy 'choker' Whites, tuxedo equivalent, etc…) and put EVERY damn box on top of them on the floor. I came back a year later to find these uniforms destroyed. Nasty, nasty stuff…
"Oh, and she left me to head to another country that didn’t use US electrical power, yet took EVERY appliance… some succubus-next-level petty spite on top of the destruction of my uniforms."
- Specific-Anything212
A Strict 50/50
"My ex and I split medical costs for our kids 50/50. Once he insisted that I repay him 50% of the cost of a Benadryl our son took at his house during a visit."
- StrangersWithAndi
Kamala Harris GIF by GIPHY NewsGiphy
People can be so-so petty.

I can definitely be a Petty Petty Patterson.
It's not cool to be nasty, though.
And I know pennies count, but splitting Benadryl?

Paul Mescal Wows 'SNL' Fans With His Singing Chops In Musical 'Gladiator II' Parody
Dec 09, 2024
We've all heard the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and we've certainly all heard advice about doing what's working for others, in the hopes of it working for us, too.
With the whirlwind of popularity surrounding Wicked and Moana 2 right now, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see more musical adaptations surge onto the scene in the hopes of riding their coattails of success.
But only the folks at Saturday Night Live would think up a musical rendition of... Gladiator II.
During Paul Mescal's debut appearance and hosting role at SNL, he played the lead role as "the killing machine" in the musical adaptation of the film, the riff said to have "an extra 50 minutes of songs" to improve the experience.
The sketch opens with a new song called, "No Place Like Rome," with sets the scene for the film, and leaves Mescal saying:
"I think I'm gonna like it here."
It then moves into the actual preview of the film, featuring 50 new minutes worth of music, including Mescal singing about how he's "so much more than a killing machine."
You can see a portion here:
Paul Mescal turns ‘GLADIATOR 2’ into a musical on SNL. pic.twitter.com/oitdHArrzI
— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) December 8, 2024
The sketch wraps up with Mescal singing about how far he'll go before he gets on a broom and sings a riff similar to the final notes in Cynthia Erivo's "Defying Gravity," as he flies off wearing a witch's hat.
You can catch that moment here:

Now I would actually watch this …😂

— Bryce Storbakken (@BryceStorbakken) December 8, 2024
You can watch the full sketch here:

Whether or not Gladiator II will be a hit or a solid follow-up to the beloved Gladiator is yet to be seen, but SNL might have just accidentally proven just how much some people love musicals—and how music can take a film like to a completely different place.

Jake Tapper Expertly Rips MAGA Rep's Defense Of Pete Hegseth's 'Drinking Problem'
Dec 09, 2024
CNN reporter Jake Tapper expertly shut down GOP Oklahoma Representative Markwayne Mullin's defense of Pete Hegseth's qualifications as a potential nominee for Secretary of Defense.
Hegseth, a former Fox and Friends weekend co-host, was selected by President-elect Donald Trump to join his cabinet as U.S. Secretary of Defense despite his lack of experience in global defense.
Hegseth, however, has been in the hot seat since his history of alcohol abuse came to light.
According to NBC News, some of Hegseth's Fox colleagues expressed concerns about his drinking problem and claimed the Army National Guard veteran often showed up reeking of alcohol before going live. They also claimed Hegseth complained about being hung over on the set.
While Senate Republicans are unlikely to confirm his nomination amid scrutiny from coworkers and Pentagon officials in light of Hegseth's allegations, the MAGA contingent scrambled for excuses to justify Hegseth being a suitable advisor to the incoming President.
During a CNN interview, Tapper was having none of it when Mullin soft-pedaled Hegseth's allegation of a drinking problem.
Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥
[image or embed]
— Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline.com) December 8, 2024 at 10:58 AM
The discussion started when Tapper played two clips for Mullin.
The first showed Hegseth telling Megyn Kelly on her show that he's "never had a drinking problem."
A second clip featured Hegseth on The Will Cain Show talking about how he would want a drink at 10 a.m. to "self-medicate" with alcohol after returning from serving as an infantry platoon leader and later as a civil-military operations officer in Iraq.
After viewing the second clip, Mullin commented that Hegseth never said he had a drinking problem.
He argued:
“Jake, that wasn’t him saying he had an alcohol problem. That was him being honest."
"Unfortunately, a lot of our combat vets have come back and face the same thing.”
Mullin denounced the media's hypocrisy in highlighting Hegseth's negative attributes during the Senate confirmation proceedings, claiming everyone has a tarnished history.
He continued:
"Yes, [Hegseth] has a past. Jake, you and I have both have a past, and our listeners have a past too, and we get that."
"He's not hiding from his past. He's answering the questions of his past. That doesn't disqualify him from being Secretary of Defense."
On the contrary, Markwayne.
Tapper asserted:
"A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM, for whatever reason, is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department, and so there is a difference."
The internet agreed with Tapper's on-point logic.
Exactly! Hegseth must not pass vetting!

— Janet Smith (@leeleejanet.bsky.social) December 8, 2024 at 11:55 AM
It was also revealed that the embattled SD nominee faced a 2017 sexual misconduct allegation. A woman claimed she was physically blocked from leaving a hotel room and engaged in non-consensual sex with the then-Fox host.
Hegseth denied the accusation but settled with a financial agreement and a non-disclosure clause to protect his job at Fox News.
Users remained obstinate against Hegseth's nomination.
Hegseth is grossly flawed and should never be in any position of authority.

Drinking is not Hegseth’s only problem. First of all it’s a concern that Hegseth doesn’t think there are any other problems besides the drinking? He’s also a predator.

Mullin continued to counter in vain, saying:
“Well, then there’s a lot of politicians that have a drinking problem."
“There’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.”
“There’s a lot of alcohol that flows through Washington, D.C. on a regular basis, and I wouldn’t say that people are alcoholics or they have a drinking problem because of that."
Typical MAGA rationale.
But thanks for playing, Senator.

People Just Noticed An Ominous Detail About The 2025 Calendar—And Oh Dear
Dec 09, 2024
Christmas is already around the corner. Can you believe it?
This time each year, many of us are SMH-ing over the fact that another year has sped by as the holidays following Halloween hit us in rapid succession.
Before you know it, 2025 will be here, and some of us will be hitting the gym to burn off all the calories consumed from all those family get-togethers or gearing up for work again.
What will the new year hold in store for us? We can only hope good things come what may.
While many of us are out holiday shopping and busying ourselves with convivial holiday commitments, some social media users are already looking ahead and contemplating the uncertainty of the future.
One thing eagle-eyed users on the internet found unsettling in the 2025 calendar was a cryptic premonition.
January 1, 2025, falls on a Wednesday, followed by the 2nd on Thursday and the 3rd on Friday.
And?
The consecutive days of the week that 2025 starts on when viewed on a phone calendar spells, "WTF"–or in texting parlance, "What the f**k."
Is the universe telling us to brace ourselves? Seriously, WTF?
People got anxious when a post by @wtffrio went viral on X (formerly Twitter) with nearly 11 million views.
People confirmed they had every right to be concerned since 2020 started on the same days of the week, and we all know what happened that disastrous year.
Should we be concerned?
This is an understatement.
But let's stay optimistic, shall we?
We can't turn back now, can we?
All we can do is IDGAF our way into 2025 and charge head-on into the unknown.

But until then, let's stay present and make the best of what's left in 2024.

Supermodel Sparks Debate With Reaction To Losing 'Model Of The Year' Award To Trans Model
Dec 09, 2024
Model Anok Yai sparked quite the debate on social media after she said she was "exhausted" and proceeded to call out the British Fashion Council after they awarded the 2024 Model of the Year award to trans model Alex Consani.
Consani, the first out trans model to ever win Model of the Year, expressed her excitement on Instagram, sharing celebratory photos and videos accompanied by the captions:
"IM SCREAMING I J WON MODEL OF YHE YEAR"
"Thank you so much @britishfashioncouncil and everyone that made this possible!"
"I cant even begin to process this"
Consani's popularity soared over the course of the last year, beginning with her online presence on TikTok.
She was also one of the first trans women to walk the Victoria's Secret runway before being featured on magazine covers, music videos and walking for Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, and Jacquemus... just to name a few.
But one other supermodel who has been in the limelight the last couple of years is Anok Yai, who many believe was the only person who could have beat out Consani for the 2024 title.
After Consani was announced as Model of the Year, Yai took to social media, dropping a photo that launched some heated discourse.
The model tweeted a photo of Ye on stage at the 2009 VMAs—you know, the moment he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to tell the world "Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!"
Viewers of the post immediately called out Yai, and quickly she took to the platform once again to follow up.
"Alex, I love you and I’m so proud of you"
"British Fashion Council, thank you but I don’t want it anymore"
She then explained:
"If you have seen the effort that I’ve seen Alex put in; you would understand how proud I am of her."
"But Alex can be proud and I can be exhausted at the same time."
"It doesn’t take away how much love we have for each other"
Many on social media, however, felt the damage had already been done.
Others, however, feel Yai has every right to feel frustrated, with many pointing out that her original message was not targeted at Consani.
Consani hasn't commented on Yai's posts yet, but in her acceptance speech, she did express her gratitude for other models who paved the way for her, especially Black trans women.
“I can’t accept this award without thanking those who came before me, specifically the Black trans women who really fought for the space I’m in today.”
“Dominique Jackson, Connie Fleming, Aaron Rose Philip, and countless more who fought for the space that allowed me to flourish today.”
