[Serious] Redditors who have completely ruined somebody's life (intentionally or by accident, whether they deserved it or not), what happened and why did you do it ?

Years ago I was involved a road rage incident where a driver intentionally side wiped my car on the highway. This was essentially unprovoked and this SOB had been tailing me in the right lane, I got over to the left and while yelling out his window he intentionally entered my lane in and out and hit my car.

We pull over, cop comes and I notice another car is parked down the street with a female driver. She seemed to be associated with him, just waiting there. Anyway, the cop cant do nothing...I settle with insurance (no fault, lane dispute), remember the guys name and let it ride.

A year or so later I notice the same car driven by the woman at the incident, only this time it was being driven by SOB. That woman was his wife/girlfriend, I don't know, but one or the other. Screw that, still stewing I set out for revenge.

I do some googling and locate the SOB. I also find information about his wife, cat, house, vacations, friends, jobs, facebook etc.

I had a plan.

I stalk SOB's wife on Facebook for 6-8 months, learn her circle. She just so happens to post information about a few girl trips, the guys who are friend with her group. Get a feel for their circle. But eventually lost interest.

Then one random day browsing my throwaway on FB, I see she is in Vegas without SOB. I have family in Vegas, so my wheels start spinning. After much bribing I get my meth addicted cousin, who is a habitual Vegas hotel pool crasher to go to the pool where SOB's wife was having her trip, offering a lifelong dept and a nice sum of $ to take any damn incriminating pic he can muster.

Cousin is on board, and a credit to his meth-addled commitment to the task at hand, he gets a pic of a guy leaning into to her from the adjacent pool chair, his hand on her face in some kind of caress. And, I recognize the guy from other posts she is tagged, and had been tagged in from previous outings.

So, I put the package together. As a concerned anonymous, I string together a tail of cheating and betrayal. That time she went to the bar last year with him, they disappeared to the parking lot for an hour. The trip to the mountains, he was there and they slept together, I'm certain of if. The Vegas trip, ditto. A ruse to do something in Vegas that stays in Vegas.

I put this all together and send it to SOB Facebook $1 priority direct to his inbox. He responds, wants my name. I tell him no chance. I thew in some BS about dude telling me SOBs cat kept meowing when he was doing his wife in his apt. I even provided the name of the cat, as SOB's wife had an account on some cat forum.

tl;dr Relationship status went from "Married to..." to "It's complected" to "single" within a year.
