I admit, I did a full-body wince upon reading this email from Hannah:
After listening to some of your back episodes, episode 101 caught my ear. In it you recommend, to get over a relationship, you should do things that you couldn’t when you were with the other person.
When with my ex, we had a long-standing joke about various piercings, him being pretty horrified, and me enjoying winding him up. So, when things ended a few months ago, I decided to take your advice: I got myself a clitoris piercing!
Answer me this – what is the most extreme thing you’ve done to spite/get over someone?
Errrrm…got on with my life? Boring, I know.
However, readers, you are much less boring than I, with my unpierced genitalia. So please flounce towards the comments and tell us your best stories of recovery/retaliation.

I’m the person that asked that question in episode 101, exciting! After that break-up I dyed my hair a colour he wouldn’t have liked, saw friends he didn’t approve of, joined a feminist book club, and basically said yes to every invite (within reason). None of which is particularly extreme (no body parts were punctured in the process), but the resultant adventures from the saying yes tactic led me to meet my current partner of two years who is absolutely brilliant!

I have to say, I’m enjoying these comments an unseemly amount.

Katherine – you are my hero!
The piercing was surprisingly unpainful and one of the best things to come out of the relationship – highly recommend it to everyone!
P.S Sorry I made you wince and shiver Helen!

after my girlfriend broke up with me on our 3 year anniversary because things weren’t working out while we were at hers, she went out for a walk and left me there, and I am really good at needlework, so I unstitched all of her tops, took all of the loo roll and flushed it down the loo, and put her shoes in the oven, then left.

Well, I could tell you but I have a nice new patio and I wouldn’t want the police round here digging it up.

I went out to a club and met a boy and then went across the road with him and gave him a handjob against the basement of the Town hall. I then left the club with a friend on which I performed an oral act against a tree in a graveyard. In the same night. It wasn’t an exceptionally classy moment but I basically got a couple of months of being slutty done in one night and feel that this not only saved time but helped me side-step infection.
I’m not sure how I feel about posting this.

I think leaving small pieces of meat in various hidden places, including on top of a warbdrobe in the flat that we used to share, but they still lived in would probably be the best way I got back at an ex. Found out through mutual friends that loads of people stopped visiting as they couldn’t stand the unidentified pong!

I sent my ex’s naked photos to his parents… that was definitely my most spiteful moment.

OUCH
Reading that almost physically hurt me.
I made quite a few gay friends after breaking up with a homophobic (closet gay) boyfriend. How’s that?
