Revenge is a dish best served at Wendy’s.

I swiped right on a guy whose bio said, “I have a gf, just looking for make out buddies.” I wanted to see how far he’d go. He messaged instantly: “hey you into make out buddies?” “Doesn’t your bio say you have a girlfriend?”
“Yeah but she doesn’t know lol” He typed “lol.” I screenshotted everything. His Instagram was linked, and there she was: Maya, tagged at a pumpkin patch, captioned “my person.” I wrote her a DM six times before sending it. “I’m so sorry to message you out of nowhere, but I think you deserve to know something. I have screenshots.” At 2 a.m. she replied: “Send them.” I did.
After an hour on the phone, she said, “Reply to him. Tell him you’ll meet him at Wendy’s at 7.” The next night, I watched from my car as he walked in, hair perfectly tousled, looking smug.
Maya slid into the booth across from him and set her phone on the table with the screenshots on it. His face went from smug to confused to bright red. She stood up, picked up his Frosty, and left.
She got into my passenger seat, eating it like a trophy. “He did say he loves all things horror,” she said. We get brunch every other Sunday now.
Hey Kayla, Jahnavi here! Okay, first of all, THANK YOU for sending this in, because I’ve honestly been thinking about it all week. Let’s start with the bio, because I have questions. He put “I have a gf” right there in writing, like it was a perk.
Then he typed “lol” after “she doesn’t know,” and I had to close my laptop for a second. And the fact that he also put his Instagram right there in the bio?? Sir, you handed over the evidence yourself. He basically built the case against himself and gift-wrapped it. The confidence is almost impressive. Almost. What I love most is that you didn’t just screenshot it for the group chat and move on.
You actually went and found Maya, and you rewrote that DM half a dozen times to make sure it didn’t come across as a “hey girly” text. That is such a kind thing to do for a total stranger, and I think a lot of people would not have even thought to do that or talked themselves out of it. And then the Wendy’s sting operation?? Watching him go from smug to confused then to a tomato red is pure comedic justice.
And Maya taking his Frosty to eat in your car? Icon behavior. She literally took his dessert and his dignity in one clean sweep. He said he loved horror, and she gave him a front-row seat to his own nightmare. Thank you for sending this in and honestly, this might be my favorite submission of the year.
To everyone reading, let this be a lesson: the universe works in mysterious ways, but female solidarity works harder. If you’re going to be a villain, at least don’t provide the map and the confession tape right there in your bio.
Kayla, please give Maya a huge hug for us at your next Sunday brunch. You are both absolute legends.
