"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is a well-known saying, but chopping off your cheating boyfriend's manhood or tattooing a giant turd on your ex-girlfriend is a bit extreme.
And while many of us might have thought about seeking revenge after a bitter break-up, not many would actually go through with it.
But this lot did – and they really went for it!
From revenge porn to permanent branding, here are six things you definitely shouldn't do after a break-up.
Last week is was reported that a distraught husband cut all of his wife's things in half after a bitter break-up.
The halved items included everything from a car and sofa to a laptop and even an iPhone.
A video titled simply "For Laura" showed a German man named Martin G. using power tools to cut everything straight down the middle – the clip went viral almost overnight and got over 4.5million views
The man then supposedly put the items up for sale on eBay in 16 individual lots.
Unfortunately the dramatic stunt was revealed as a stunt, dreamt up by a group of lawyers.
2. DEFINITELY DON'T CHOP HIS PENIS OFF (however tempting)
Most people cut ties with their ex-lovers after a break up, but some have taken things a little too fat to say the least.
Scorned wife Feng faces jail after chopping off her cheating husband's penis – TWICE.
The furious 30-year-old committed the sickening act after husband Fan Lung, 32, used her phone to send his 21-year-old lover an explicit email.
Feng later found the message and several more while her husband was asleep.
In a fit of rage, she grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off his manhood – leaving the love rat writhing in pain.
Fan was rushed to hospital where doctors managed to sew his penis back on – only for Feng to later sneak into the hospital and chop his penis off once more.
She then threw it out the window, ensuring it could never be reattached.
A shocked hospital spokesman said: "The first we were aware of what happened was when someone came into the reception area to say a naked man was beating up a woman."
4. DON'T TIE THEM UP AND LEAVE THEM
A Wisconsin man who set up a secret session with one of his several extramarital lovers learned this lesson well.
His plans to meet for sex at the Lakeview Motel in Stockbridge, Wisconsin turned sour when four furious females who were eager to get revenge attacked him.
The women allegedly tied the man to the bed, blindfolded him, cut his clothes off with scissors and "fastened the man's most private member to his own stomach," according to reports.
After the women exited the scene, the man was somehow able to release himself from the bondage and contact police from the motel office.
According to reports, the fearsome foursome consisted of two of the man's girlfriends, one of the girlfriends' sister and his own wife.
The women faced charges for false imprisonment.
Revenge porn might be the lowest of the lower and it's also a serious legal offence.
But that doesn't mean that there aren't bitter exes out there who will take great pleasure in exposing their former lovers.
Young mum Cazine McCarthy was left mortified after her ex-lover posted an explicit picture of her on the internet after a messy breakup.
The trusting 20-year-old sent her ex Nathan Lloyd, 22, the saucy image of her in just underwear while they were still going out - and meant it for his eyes only.
But she was horrified when she came across the private snap of her in lingerie on Instagram.
The image appeared after Cazine split-up with Nathan, who she described as "aggressive and controlling".
5. DON'T BRAND THEM FOR LIFE
Jilted boyfriend Ryan L. Fitzjerald gave his girlfriend a s*** tattoo after he found out she was cheating.
In a carefully planned revenge plot, the tattoo artist got his ex-girlfriend to sign a waiver saying that the design of the tattoo was "up to the artist's discretion".
Then instead of inking a scene of Narnia, which is what she asked for, he branded her with a giant pile of poo with flies buzzing around it.
The giant inking covered nearly the whole of her back.
Veryweirdnews.com reports that Rossie had initially tried to hit Ryan with a charge of assault, but because he was clever and got her to sign off the tattoo ‘at the artist’s discretion,’ it was dropped.
However, he did have to pay out for a $100,000 lawsuit – Which we hope she used for tattoo removal.
6. SELL ALL THEIR STUFF
While a post-love yard sale might seem like a good idea at the time, it's probably not the best approach to take.
But that didn't stop now women, who got rid of all of her ex's belongings in one fell swoop.
The American women threw all of her ex's stuff on the front lawn and labeled everything "free."
As if that wasn't enough, she made sure to flatten all four of the tires on his SUV and spray paint the word "cheater" on the side of his car.
While some of these tales of revenge are without a doubt humorous, none of them are healthy ways of moving on.
We spoke to a relationship expert about some more productive ways to move on after a relationship breakdown.
She said: "Revenge is often a feeling we experience when we feel hurt by another.
"In some ways it can be seen as a natural response to want to fight back and regain some feeling of control when we don’t feel in control.
"Most people who feel the urge to get revenge don’t act on it and the feeling passes and some of course do act on it in a range of different ways.
"When a relationships ends it often affects our self-esteem even if we know it wasn’t right for us.
"The best thing to do is to let yourself feel what you're feeling and surround yourself with people who love you."
Top tips for dealing with a broken heart:
1. Take care of yourself and do things to pamper you, your worth and value are not dependant on what others think of you
2. Avoid revisiting the same places you went to with them, this triggers the brain to re-experience and stops us moving on
3. Let yourself feel whatever you feel and get support from others, its important we express our feeling and don’t bottle them up
4. Spend time with people, don’t isolate yourself
