After a grueling 14-hour hospital shift, I came home desperate for pizza and a shower—only to find my front door jammed.

A toothpick had been shoved into the lock. My brother Danny fixed it, warning me to call if it happened again.

I brushed it off, but the next day, it happened again. This time, Danny set up a security camera.

That evening, watching the feed, I saw the culprit: Josh, my ex. He was crouched by the door, toothpick in hand,

convinced sabotaging me would force contact. Instead of police, I called Connor, an old fling turned reliable friend.

Together, we hatched a plan. I pretended to leave, then snuck back. Connor, waiting inside in a hot

pink bathrobe, burst out waving a wrench as Josh approached. Josh bolted like a guilty kid.

The next morning, I posted the footage on TikTok with the caption: “My ex keeps jamming my lock with toothpicks.

So I introduced him to my new man. #toothpickgate.” Within 48 hours, it hit two million views.

Josh panicked, but after I forwarded the clip to his employer, he was suddenly “pursuing new opportunities.”

Danny later installed a new lock. Connor brought pizza, we toasted—“To small wins.”

Sometimes the sweetest revenge isn’t loud—it’s viral, petty, and pink-robed.
