Reddit, what's the cruelest thing you ever did to an ex? Did they deserve it?

When I met my ex, he had purchased a brand new Toshiba laptop two months before. He told me all of his tech woes and since I was taking computer networking at school, I took a look.

He had so many viruses and spam and it was obvious. I didn't ask if he was looking at porn, but he said right away, "I don't want you to think I'm looking at naked chicks." I told I wasn't going to hold it against him, but lay off the utorrent for a little bit. For the most part there were no red flags in our relationship except for how often I was doing virus scans on his computer (I never took his computer home).

One day I met him after school and before we went out, he asked if I could set the Stargate theme as his ringtone. He handed me his phone and headed to the bathroom, so I made the ringtone on the computer, then transferred it to my mini SD card to put into his phone. I chose Device Storage instead of SD memory card and that's when I was greeted by a pair of breasts that were too huge to be mine, followed by s picture of his dick. I felt my jaw drop, so I looked at the Properties and sure enough, both photos were dated from the week before. There were no more photos, but I felt like I had been hit in the stomach.

He was still in the bathroom when I walked over to his laptop and on a whim went to see if the pictures on his phone were the only ones. Sure enough, he had multiple pictures of himself and other parts of women in his My Pictures folder. So, I pulled up his command prompt and typed FORMAT.

"Hon, my mom has a flat tired, I'm sorry to do this but I need to pick her up," I called out. He was completely understanding and none the wiser, and told me he wanted to take me to lunch the next day. In truth, I went straight home and broke into his e-mail account where I found multiple messages from Adult Friend Finder and another sex-only site. (Note: He told me once before his password for his computer was also his password for his e-mail, so it's not like this took multiple attempts). I logged on to those accounts and deleted "requests" and responded to the ones who direct messaged him that they weren't his type or any obscene reason I could think of. I deleted the 'sent' messages, then logged out.

The next day, I had multiple texts from him that everything was gone on his laptop, including his resumé. I played dumb and he asked if there was a way to recover his stuff, but I told him I wasn't doing any more favors for him so long as he had another girl's tits in his face. Backpedal as he tried, I told him I was done.
