Woman Has Her Dinner Reservations Canceled for a Year. When She Investigates, She Finally Connects the Dots to her Ex
How to hold a grudge 101

A woman named Ken (@dumbrblnd) in a TikTok video is alleging that her dinner reservations were frequently canceled for about a year, and she couldn’t figure out. She certainly wasn’t doing it.
However, after some research, she found that the main culprit was her ex-boyfriend, whose email was linked to her Red Table account. It turns out that every time Ken tried to make a dinner reservation for a date, her ex was canceling it on his end after receiving a notification.
Although some would consider Ken’s ex’s move sinister, she says she is wondering why she didn’t think of it first. “Just an evil f****** genius,” she said, before adding, “And now I’m not gonna lie, I’m pissed I didn’t think of that first, because it’s brilliant.”
“Wait he outgirled u”
Women have a reputation for clapping back at their haters, but in this case Ken’s ex outsmarted her, and people in the comments section seemed to appreciate his game. One user, while admitting to being amazed by Ken’s ex, wrote, “Wait he outgirled u. I’m impressed.” Another user shared a similar sentiment and said, “It pisses me off when people out petty me.”
Some people in the comments also spoke about how their exes got back at them. One user, while highlighting how their ex’s actions angered them, said, “Mine signed me up for French spam. Two years ago. I still get the emails. I’m furious I didn’t think of it first.” Some spoke of how they got back at their exes. One user remarked, “I did this to my ex he had a hotel booked with another girl.”
The psychology of being petty
Woman to woman, we cannot help being petty about a few things sometimes. Your friend forgot to invite you to their birthday party? Tell their best friend that they secretly talk about them behind their back. Your partner forgot your birthday? Tell them you fancy someone else. Maybe take a couple of ideas from this woman who got back at her husband and didn’t even spare the mistress.
Jokes aside, a few users on a Quora thread discuss why “some females become petty and vindictive when you don’t give them attention or reciprocate interest.” Some might argue that the question’s wording is somewhat sexist, as men can also be petty. However, in their case, such actions are often described simply as revenge. Anyway, here’s what people on the thread have to say about the burning issue.
One wrote, “Simply, immaturity. It doesn’t matter what their age is, they act like that just because you won’t reciprocate a mutual interest – they gotta go somewhere, take a hike, fly a kite, and just grow up.” Another said, “We all love attention! As humans, we crave attention no matter how big or small. No one likes to be ignored. But sometimes, we just can’t control it. And we get upset…”
While the comments were mixed, with various people attributing the behavior to multiple factors, you cannot help but wonder: how far is too far? Do you think Ken’s ex took it too far? Should she perhaps retaliate or let it go? If it’s any consolation, @buffetgirlss from Houston found a clever way to get her revenge.
