My bike got stolen from outside my apartment. I posted a flyer all over the neighborhood saying that the bike was haunted and the thief could get any of the following: worms magically appearing in their food, stepping in dog poop, finding their toothbrush and deodorant missing.

I befriended the woman who spent years trying to destroy my marriage after she delivered the best and most sincere apology I'd ever received. I decided to believe her. Fast forward to today: I left my ex-husband years ago. She is going through a divorce. They had their first date last night. I deleted both of them from all of my socials.
