Man gets accidental revenge on 'gas lighting' ex-wife after she tells him she's engaged.

This week a dude who was cheated on got a text message from the cheater that she was getting engaged. Merry Christmas. While most of us would be happier to get that information second hand while at a bar, redditor mesoziocera handled the new intel in stride. As a reward, he accidentally ruined her life.

Here's the tale of accidental revenge, told in his own words:

So Saturday, she texts me to tell me that she had gotten engaged, and felt like I should hear it from her. I was pissed that she decided to tell me this, but I'm moving on.

What a nice young man. Then he takes us back in time to see how it all went wrong:

After 10 years together, a few of those married, my ex-wife and I separated when I caught her in an affair with one of my friends. After months of gaslighting every time I asked why she was so distant, she started a major fight with me and asked me to leave for a few days, during this time she basically left all but the essentials and moved in with this fat, miserable, vape-enthusiast fuckhelmet.

Oh god. Say no more.

The guy totally spent 9 months spinning lies about me, before she moved in, but she was the one that was willing to believe even the most outlandish things to convince herself that she was justified in cheating. It turns out he was in a better place to financially get her where she wanted to be. This story is long and drawn out, and I won't spend anymore time on it. Just know that this wasn't the first time she fucked me over, but it was definitely the last. Despite pretending they weren't seeing each other and my ex saying that she still wanted to work things out, the separation started last fall, and the divorce finalized in May of this year.

Ok, back to present day.

Anyway, her mother called me Tuesday to say Merry Christmas and see how I have been. You could not ask for better in-laws, and I still talk to them occasionally. Anyway, she told me that, despite the engagement, I am still part of the family and welcome anytime. At some point after this, I told her that I wasn't happy about the engagement, but I wasn't surprised, since they had been living together for a year and a half. She got really quiet for a moment, but then wished me a Merry Christmas and told me not to be a stranger and got off the phone.

He had no idea what chain of events he had just sent into place.

Yesterday, I get up and one of her cousins has texted me with info on this shitstorm that I started. It turns out that she had adamantly stuck to the story that they had gotten together this spring, and had only moved in together this summer. Her mother went off on her for lying all these months about the cause of our divorce, she's pissed and isn't going to be going to Christmas this year at my ex's new house as a result. I've heard that she was told they would be hosting Christmas at home this year instead.

Is anything more rewarding than when your ex's family takes your side? UGGGG its so good.

Now, I didn't intend this revenge, but it did happen. Merry Christmas, bitch.

And for those of you curious what HIS Christmas plans are going to be? He's spending it with his new girlfriend.


Thousands of American Airlines flight attendants say their new uniforms are making them sick.

Sometimes it feels like I am allergic to working, but at least that is not actually the case, unlike the thousands of American Airlinesflight attendants who claim their new uniforms are actually making them ill. NBC News reports that the new uniforms, which were issued in September, are causing a variety of issues, including eye swelling, rashes, skin blistering, wheezing, headaches and vertigo. Sounds bad.

More than 2,200 flight attendants have filed complaints through the Association of Professional Flight Attendants union, which represents more than 25,000 attendants at American Airlines. Flying is already uncomfortable enough that I cannot imagine additionally being constricted by a starchy suit that is trying to ruin my life.

On Wednesday, the president of the union, Bob Ross, wrote a letter to American's general counsel asking them to stop issuing the uniforms. "Personal health is so integral and critical to our Flight Attendant workforce, who must be able to work in a healthy manner and environment," he said. "To do so, our members need proper and safe uniforms." Along with requesting that American issue different uniforms, Ross also asked that the airline give its employees the sick leave they have requested, reimburse them for their medical costs, and launch a $2 million investigation into what is going on with the faulty uniforms.

Since receiving the initial complaints, the airline says they've conducted three rounds of testing on the old uniforms and the new ones, as well as the packaging that they come in. Sounds a lot more in-depth than the "smell tests" I usually conduct on my own clothing.

But apparently this isn't a new issue for American Airlines. In 2012, the company was the subject of a class action lawsuit that was filed after a similar complaint that the uniforms the flight attendants were being forced to wear were making them sick. What weird poison are they coating their clothing with? Hopefully the union can force American to comply to their demands, so that their employees can continue to do their already physically taxing jobs.

Anyway, remember when being a flight attendant used to be glamorous? Me either. Seems like no matter how classy I dress, flying all ways makes me feel farty and bad. Bless the men and women who put their bodies through this on a regular basis and now have to wear evil uniforms sent to destroy them.

Tiger Wood's insanely awkward 'MacDaddy' Christmas photo goes viral for the wrong reasons.

I know today we're all busy buying last-minute gifts and having last-minute panic attacks. But we need to discuss Tiger Woods' Christmas photo. And we need to discuss it now.

Are you sitting down? Because you should sit down. Take a deep breath. Ready? Okay, tbh you'll never be entirely ready for this. But here it is:

In case you were too floored to read the caption, it says: "Xmas tradition that my kids love. Mac Daddy Santa is back!"

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm what??????

His kids, 9-year-old daughter Sam and 7-year-old son Charlie with ex-wife ElinNordegren, "love" this? What? Why? Do they know what "MacDaddy" means? Do they know that their mom smashed dad's car with a golf club in 2009 because he cheated on her with multiple women?

If this was just some random dude's photo, I'd say hey: you do you. But this is Tiger Woods, a public figure with a very public history of infidelity.

Is it a joke? Sure. But it's a joke that makes me want to crawl out of my skin and transcend this mortal human realm.

But I don't need to tell you how to feel. I'll let Twitter do it for me:

^^^GREAT question, Curtis Burch!

And then there's this reaction, which is just too real:

But I think I relate the most to this person's response:

Only instead of 2017, make that 2020, please.

Merry Christmas, I guess?

Madison Square Garden claims more Rockettes volunteered to perform at Trump's inauguration than they have spots.

As it turns out, maybe the Rockettes don't all feel the same way about performing at Donald Trump's inauguration. Earlier today, BroadwayWorld reported that they received an email from the Rockettes' union, American Guild of Variety Artists, that made it sound like the Rockettes were being forced to perform at Trump's inauguration, or else they'd be fired. "Any talk of boycotting this event is invalid, I'm afraid," the email from the union to the dancers read.

In bolded print the email plainly stated, "if you are not full time, you do not have to sign up to do this work. If you are full time, you are obligated." In a since-deleted Instagram post, one Rockette, Phoebe Pearl, said that since hearing the news she and her fellow dancers, "have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts."

But now, in the face of massive backlash, Madison Square Garden is saying that none of the Rockettes are being forced to perform at the inauguration against their will and that participation is voluntary. In fact, according to MSG, they've actually had more Rockettes express interest in the performance than they have slots.

In a statement issued a little after 12pm on Thursday, a representative for Madison Square Garden said:

"For a Rockette to be considered for an event, they must voluntarily sign up and are never told they have to perform at a particular event, including the inaugural. It is always their choice. In fact, for the coming inauguration, we had more Rockettes request to participate than we have slots available. We eagerly await the inaugural celebrations."

This seems to directly counter the statement issued by the Rockettes union yesterday that said full-time Rockettes were required to sign up for the event. But it also means that there are plenty of Rockettes excited to perform for the inauguration. Cue the Rockettes looking around the locker room at each other nervously, wondering who among them secretly voted for Trump this whole time. I guess just because they're dancing is in sync doesn't mean their politics are.

Jennifer Lopez turned down a million dollars for the most romantic reason.

Jennifer Lopez was scheduled to perform on New Years Eve at chic Miami nightclub E11even, a gig that would've paid her a million dollars (which to be fair is probably a handful of change to J. Lo). But she bailed. And not because she decided to spend New Year's Eve in her PJ's watching Netflix and eating pizza.

A "source" told Page Six that the singer/dancer/legend decided to ditch her NYE plans to go to Las Vegas to hang out with Drake.

Yes, that Drake.

The Canadian rapper is apparently "just friends" with Rihanna now (wahhhhhh) and recent rumors that he was consciously coupling with Taylor Swift have died down. Which, hypothetically, leaves him single and ready to mingle with J Lo.

“He will be in Vegas and she wants to hang out with him,” the source said.

Earlier this week, J.Lo’s rep said that she canceled for “personal and family time” after a busy and stressful year. But the singer and Drake have been seen "getting cozy" and "canoodling" in LA and "sharing lunch" (oooh!) at the Hotel Bel-Air.

Canoodling? LUNCH? What does it all mean???

According to Lopez's rep, she and Drake are just friends and collaborators. "They are spending time together, working on a new music project," the rep said. And what better time to "work on a new music project" than New Years Eve? A night when everyone is hard at work on their "projects"?

Mmmmm hmmm.

Have fun "collaborating," you crazy kids.

Fans and friends are praying for Carrie Fisher after she suffered a major heart attack on a plane.

Confusion swirled Friday evening as preliminary reports stated that actress Carrie Fisher, 60, was in serious condition after suffering a cardiac arrest on a plane moments before it was due to land in Los Angeles en route from London.

According to TMZ, the medical emergency occurred about 15 minutes prior to touchdown, and an EMT "sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures." An "unresponsive" Fisher was then rushed to UCLA Medical Center. Although at one point on Friday evening her brother Todd Fisher told the press that she had been stabilized and removed from the ER, he later clarified that she was in the intensive care unit and that it was too soon to say what her condition was. "We have to wait and be patient," he said, according to USA Today. "We have so little information ourselves."

On Twitter, friends and fans of the Star Wars icon—whose recent memoir The Princess Diarist recounted behind-scenes-secrets of the original film—expressed their heartfelt best wishes for Fisher, as well as the confidence that 2016 would not claim yet another beloved celebrity too young to depart from us.

Fisher is currently being attended to not just by doctors but her daughter, Billie Lourd, as well as her French bulldog, Gary. So top-quality care all around.

We're rooting for you, Princess.

There's just one more day until Christmas, but people can't help sneaking a look at their presents.

In theory, the thrill of Christmas is coming downstairs to find piles of gifts that seem to have arrived out of nowhere—that is to say, from Santa's workshop. But as everybody who celebrates the holiday knows, there is another, darker impulse at work: the craving to find and open your presents before the 25th.

This year, as in every other, people have ruined Christmas for themselves by sniffing gifts out in the basement, or wherever else they're hidden. (Honestly, though, it's always the basement. Unless you don't have one, in which case maybe they're buried in the backyard?) For what it's worth, though, it sounds like cats and dogs are some of the worst offenders. Patience, pets!

Thankfully, at least some gift-givers had the foresight to stop this.

Next year, everyone's going to have an alarm system installed in their closets.

Woman who Photoshopped herself into a selfie of 'Law & Order' stars is the hero we need right now.

With the year 2016 promising to go down as one of the worst in our lifetime, and 2017 slated to be potentially worse, people are desperate for any sort of joy or optimism. They need to be shown that not all is darkness and desperation.

They need a hero like Sandy Ploy of Milwaukee, such a monumental fan of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that when she encountered a Christmas selfie of Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, who played high-chemistry partners on the series, she had to join in on the festivities. With a little help from Photoshop.

Friends at Xmas.

Posted by Chris Meloni on Wednesday, December 21, 2016

"Any self-respecting ‘Special Victims Unit’ fan had their heart skip a beat the other day when Chris Meloni posted his selfie with Mariska Hargitay," Sandy told BuzzFeed. "They looked GREAT. They looked SO HAPPY to be together.”

And just like that, another star was born.

And it seems Sandy is taking her newfound fame comfortably in stride.

Merry Christmas to you, Sandy—a woman who could not be more pure of heart.

People of the word.


Trump's inauguration account keeps tweeting about a president who died right after taking office.

Is Donald Trump's inauguration team trying to tell us something?

Twitter users were somewhat baffled as @TrumpInagural, the completely unnecessary but "official account of the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC)," posted two consecutive tweets about William Henry Harrison. Our ninth president, Harrison served barely a month before dying in office.

People jumped on the unfortunate history lesson to figure out its meaning.

The parallels between Harrison and Trump may be stronger than any of these commenters realize. The Harrison inauguration on March 4, 1841, was held in cold, overcast, windy weather, but Harrison refused to wear a coat, hat, or gloves—and proceeded to give the longest inaugural address in U.S. history, running to almost 8,500 words. When he took ill with his lethal case of pneumonia three weeks later, it was (incorrectly) assumed that his prolonged exposure to the bad weather, worsened by his never-ending speech, is what had laid him low.

So, what are the odds that Trump talks for so long, and gestures so emphatically, that he just collapses on the stage on January 20? Time to start taking bets.

Everyone is roasting the FBI's hilariously amateur holiday greeting card.

It's nice to hear "happy holidays" from friends, family, and strangers alike around this time of year, but not everyone needs to get in on this feel-good fuzziness. The Federal Bureau of Investigation comes to mind, for one.

But sure, we won't begrudge a message of good cheer from the FBI. Right?

Good god. What is that? Why is it? What in the world is happening here? Just how did nobody manage to stop it in time? And can the FBI be saved?

Ouch. Still, it's better than the CIA's holiday greeting.

Some people just have no Christmas spirit at all.

Opening up.
