My boyfriend has this terrible habit of leaving his stinky gym socks all over the place—on the couch, the floor, even the kitchen counter once! I’ve asked him a million times to put them in the laundry basket, but he just keeps forgetting…or ignoring me.

So, I decided to go a little mad-scientist with my revenge. I bought a pack of those squishy gelatinous stress balls and stuffed them into his socks. Then, I soaked the socks in water and left them in the fridge overnight to let the slime really settle in.

The next morning, he groggily pulled out a pair of socks, slipped one on, and let out a yelp. ‘What the—?!’ He pulled out his foot, covered in slimy, squishy goo.

I came into the room, pretending to look shocked, ‘Oh no, did you leave your socks in the fridge again?’ He just glared at me, knowing full well this was my doing. He never left his dirty socks lying around after that. Petty? Yes. Effective? Hell yes.
