After a brutal 14-hour shift at the ER, all I craved was pizza and peace. Instead, I found a toothpick stuck in my front door lock. Weird, right? I pulled it out with tweezers and brushed it off—until the next night, when it happened again. That’s when my brother Danny showed up with his toolkit and a serious look. This wasn’t random; someone was messing with me. We installed a security camera to catch the culprit in the act.

The footage revealed Josh—my ex—sneaking around, carefully jamming toothpicks into my lock like he was defusing a bomb. I was equal parts furious and amused. Instead of freaking out, I called my friend Connor—the tattooed, motorcycle-riding drama magnet—and together we hatched a plan. The next night, I pretended to leave while Connor, rocking my pink bathrobe, waited by the door. Josh showed up again, toothpick in hand, only for Connor to swing the door open and growl, “You must be the toothpick fairy.” Josh bolted.

We caught him in the driveway, where he admitted he’d been sabotaging my lock to “help” me and win me back. Romantic? Hardly. Psychotic? Absolutely. I didn’t call the cops. Instead, I posted the whole thing on TikTok. It blew up — millions of views, one destroyed reputation, and a very angry email from Josh later. I forwarded the video to his boss—Amber’s dad—and guess what? Josh was soon “exploring other career options.”

So yeah, revenge doesn’t always need fire or drama—sometimes all you need is a toothpick, a camera, and a pink bathrobe.
