ULPT Request: How to ruin coworkers affair holiday?
Posted by Burgundy121@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 444 comments
Two coworkers (woman married with 2 kids and guy recently engaged) have been way more obvious than they realise with their affair. Next week they are both conveniently on paid time off for 5 days and both have been vague about their plans (my suspicionis each has told their partners it'sa work trip). What they don't know is I caught a glimpse of their boarding passes which he accidentally left on the printer for a little too long.
How do I ruin their secret affair week away without it blowing back on me? He and I don't get along so I need plausible denial.

This is the problem with society.
Why can’t people just mind their own business?
I would recommend preparing for a physical altercation in the event that either he or she find out it was you.
Please be aware I am not advocating for people to commit adultery. I am advocating for people minding their own damn business.
If it doesn’t affect you, your family, or your finances you shouldn’t care.
lostmylogininfo@reddit
Honestly people can mind their own business or not. The people in question are being obvious.
It's on them.
I was exposed for cheating in school once. It became an issue.
The person who outed me was a bitch I believe but it's my own damned fault.
MountainLocal4203@reddit
So because someone outed you in school you’re going to out people that had nothing to do with it ?
That does not make sense.
But do what you want 🤷🏾♂️
lostmylogininfo@reddit
No I wouldn't. I didn't say that dummy.
I'm saying they exposed themselves to this happening.
It's a free country. People can cheat and people can expose cheaters.
Op said they were being obvious..... Don't be obvious.
It's their own fault. They can blame this person for running their marriage..... But did they?
MountainLocal4203@reddit
I was under the impression you were OP.
Either way there was no relevance of sharing your personal experience.
Clearly you didn’t read my past comments. I said that OP is free to do as he please but prepare for a possible altercation in the event that it is discovered that OP interfered in something that. had nothing to do’s with him.
lostmylogininfo@reddit
Also who the fuck cares if I share a personal anecdote. You really don't understand that you are in charge of nothing,, no one has to do what you say..... So keep an affair quiet or be prepared to deal with the consequences. If you do something wrong and someone doesn't like you what the fuck do you think is going to happen.
Also the person won't get beat up.....
Then the Ex just gets to take them to the cleaners.
MountainLocal4203@reddit
So you deleted your original response and added this response.
I’m not going to read that shit so I’m just going to say Ok.
lostmylogininfo@reddit
Lol.... No I didn't delete it. It's still there.
MountainLocal4203@reddit
Ok .. still not going to read it .
But anyways have a good day and stop snitching on people. 😉
lostmylogininfo@reddit
Have a good day too.
lostmylogininfo@reddit
Gotcha. Not op. I read that comment. That's life is all I'm saying.
Brief-Bobcat-5912@reddit
How about you mind your own business, something could go wrong and a lot of lives ruined, affairs blow over, why start a bunch of shit over something that has nothing to do with you
Cautious_Buffalo6563@reddit
Have you ever considered minding your own business? That’s an option also.
kookie00@reddit
I'm just gonna say make sure you ruin their lives. My dad did this shit and ruined my childhood through this and associated actions. Fuck em. Fuck em real hard.
Charlotte_OG@reddit
Right in the pussy
YBHunted@reddit
Sounds a bit odd to say your childhood was ruined and then suggest that OP blows up these families lmao... but whatever.
kookie00@reddit
If they are going to fuck up other people's lives, they should feel the pain too.
ivanwarrior@reddit
Did your dad cheating ruin your childhood or was it your mom's reaction that was the painful part?
kookie00@reddit
Dad moving us to his whore's hometown multiple states away then filing for a divorce a month later. We knew no one in that area so we left to my mom's hometown halfway across the country. Ended up living in three states within a year.
bluecat2001@reddit
Fuck their partners while they are gone.
Charlotte_OG@reddit
This is the only acceptable answer, thank you sir
Burgundy121@reddit (OP)
Haha not sure my partner would approve of that but appreciate the suggestion!
1521@reddit
What leads you to want to get involved? I guess I don’t understand why someone is concerned about someone else’s time off🤷
HilariouslyPsycho@reddit
Sounds like jealousy to me
Alysprettyrad@reddit
Make it an orgy! You can find inspiration on many different subreddits

There are subs for that? That’s disgusting! Which subs? Like which specific subs are you talking about?

I read it as parents and got a bit scared.
bluecat2001@reddit
That is also an option.

cannibalqueef@reddit
Whatever I had to type I fuckin don’t care anymore. This is truly THE only real way to get the 💯 completionist ending, feel me? 10/10 reply and user. Salute. 🫡🤌🏿
No-Chapter-0712@reddit
Diabolical lol
Far_Ranger1411@reddit
It’s not too difficult to make anonymous tips to their SOs. They will know it is someone from the office but it’s up to you be on the DL about it all. No one else can know.
Also if it were me being cheated on, I would want to know. Ignore the comments telling you to stay out of it.
eileen404@reddit
Call the so, "I know xxx is on vacation this week but they're not answering their phone so could you ask them where xxx is?"
dutchreageerder@reddit
Yeah, or just ask if she can get a hold on him for you.
Burgundy121@reddit (OP)
I genuinely feel bad for the husband who is left taking care of his kids alone while his wife gets up to all sorts behind his back.
FunDivertissement@reddit
I feel sorry for him for having a two timing wife. He should be used to taking care of his own kids. I also feel sorry for the guys fiance - hope the wedding gets cancelled.
DrFabulous0@reddit
This is gonna blow up in your face if it turns out that's what he's into Freaks everywhere.
Insantiable@reddit
just make sure anonymous means anonymous. keep it simple and have it good intentions and that's it.
Raiseyourspoonforwar@reddit
Then tell him ASAP so she can have as little fun as possible at his expense.
No-Permission-5268@reddit
Yes ruin the cheaters’ trip!
Breath_Deep@reddit
No, wait until just after they've left. Gives the husband time to set his affairs in order.
Generalmar@reddit
But make sure they're actually on the trip. Don't stop them from going on the trip. Chaos at home will be q disaster for them
Far_Ranger1411@reddit
Yeah it’s always gut wrenching
QuantumMothersLove@reddit
This ranger might philander… 🫢
bonsaiwave@reddit
Oh please, the husband is probably a piece of shit
PsyGr1nch@reddit

tearbooger@reddit
Something like this. You could call from the office asking if a/b is coming into work today. You really need that paper, or whatever. Blow their cover. Their SOs need to find out.
Prize_Mycologist1870@reddit
Maybe he's enjoying it?
meiliraijow@reddit
Maybe, in which case learning about it will make it even better. There's never a good argument in not telling about an affair
PityOnlyFools@reddit
Take a break from the porn bro
Key-Shift5076@reddit
..and—the wife of the cheating husband as well, right..? Definitely weird to only genuinely feel bad for one of the spouses, what an odd sentiment to express in such a particularized manner.
fishtrousers@reddit
She is not his wife. They are engaged. The other one has two children in a likely long-term marriage. Dtill fucked up, not the same situation at all.
StrainExternal7301@reddit
been that guy..it sucks…i would have loved to know
Omega_Boost24@reddit
How do you know he's not ok with it?
Thormidable@reddit
Then it is fine for him to find out isn't it...
fairdinkumcockatoo@reddit
Feel bad? I feel sick..
MVHood@reddit
Yeah, the SO's need to know. NEED to know. I spent many many years not knowing my SO was having a full blown affair and when I finally found out it was compounded by the fact I could have know if only the people that knew had told me. It really isn't kind to MYOB when there are innocent people being hurt.
kjay76@reddit
Yep. Just happened to me. It hurts like hell. But I’m so glad I found out. I also informed the wife of the bastard who was cheating with my wife. Feels bad for her, but she needs to know as well.
Peoples_Champ_481@reddit
Doesn't even need to be from the office. I'm sure there's apps or even pay phones at truck stops.
crayton-story@reddit
Mike Ehrmantraut style.
Far_Ranger1411@reddit
Oh it definitely shouldn’t be from the office, it’s just that only people from the office would be able to connect the dots
Peoples_Champ_481@reddit
ooh sorry I misunderstood lol
I was thinking "this is really bad advice" I'm glad I wasn't a dickhead about it
Far_Ranger1411@reddit
I’m also glad you weren’t a dick head about it hahaha
JupiterSkyFalls@reddit

newshirtworthy@reddit
This is a weird subreddit to ask for advice holding others accountable to your personal moral code. You don’t know their life and it ain’t your business. Ruining a vacation for two filthy sinners is worse than cheating, and frankly is weird behavior.
-You assume they’re having an affair
-You assume they’re going on a personal trip together to fuck
-You double assume they lied to their partners
-You didn’t seem to ask or talk to them directly
-You make it your business to thwart their evil affair trip
I recommend you find a place with grass and touch it
CallMeMrButtPirate@reddit
Sir this is a Wendys
xikbdexhi6@reddit
Find out where the coworkers are staying. Have a bouquet sent to their room with a note:
Dear A and B, Have a great week. We are both changing the locks. Sincerely, A's wife and B's husband.
The fireworks begin when they both call home in a panic.
Hawthorne_northside@reddit
We actually did this but it didn’t pan out. This was way back in the late 1980’s when interoffice email was read by the audit team. The showed us IT folks several SYSM’s between the two and we figured out what hotel they were staying in. As it turns out there was a massive snow storm that closed the airport so it cancelled the love birds trip.
Automatic_Ad1887@reddit
This is the way.
When I was in the car business, we spotted two coworkers getting handsy at lunch. Then kissing. Both married to other folks.
It was a Mexican restaurant, so we told them it was his birthday. Everyone is singing, calling attention to them, while they are quietly freaking out. They never saw us.
xikbdexhi6@reddit
Well played! 😂
No-Fox-1400@reddit
Make sure to use a visa pre paid debit card for payment.
space_pillows@reddit
And buy that card with cash
R-K-Tekt@reddit
And pay wearing sunglasses next town over after being dropped off from uber or walking there.
Knathra@reddit
Without your cell phone or any other electronics with you.
trippknightly@reddit
But get your friend’s cousin who’s in hospice to do it.
whippley@reddit
Or privacy . com!
Bayareaquestioner@reddit
This is epic level.
Various_Abies_8540@reddit
The problem with this idea is that OP knows the boarding pass info, but has no idea about what hotel they are staying at. A more effective idea: Notify your HR department Anonymous tip: you witnessed a document that indicates extortion and abduction of the female victim. Vague enough to imply probable cause the woman is under immediate threat and the company will be liable if they do not take immediate action. Trigger law enforcement to make contact with the employers emergency contact (husband) of the female.
Various_Abies_8540@reddit
HR cannot violate your privacy by outing you for an anonymous tip. If they do, you’ll have legal recourse to defend yourself.
fun_crush@reddit
This is perfect. The only thing I would add is to somehow, while you're at work, snap a picture of their credit and debit cards.
After they leave on their affair trip. Call the banks of all the cards and be the "good Samaritan" and tell them you just found this card and give them the card info.
The bank will turn off all their cards.
h2opolodude4@reddit
This idea is amazing. I would watch a movie of this unfold.
ClerkAnnual3442@reddit
And make sure you pay the florist in cash.
dontworryitsme4real@reddit
Would be kind of difficult considering the florist would be online or in another region
Eleutherian8@reddit
Any florist can arrange flowers to be delivered anywhere for cash. They just order them online and charge you a few dollars for the trouble. I’ve done this many times.
Potaatolongster@reddit
Do it through a major chain like Walmart or something. They can do a branch transfer. As long as there's a location where you are and where they are going.
Source: I work in a grocery store and do that kind of thing all the time.
thrusterbuster00@reddit
Diabolical!
Karl2241@reddit
This is the way.
ketosoy@reddit
This is perfect. No notes.
RedSquadLeader@reddit
Please OP, do this and give us an update?
Dolgar01@reddit
This is genius. Because if for some crazy reason it isn’t an affair, you’ve not destroyed their relationships.
On the other hand, they contact them confessing to their infidelity. There is no wiggling out of that one.
The_mad_Raccon@reddit
This is pure genius
East_Membership606@reddit
That's genius.

Why is it your business????? Maybe get a bit of the giddy kitty yourself and mind your business.
Sniickerz_420@reddit
This sounds like a great opportunity for Jon from JonBreaksBadNews on tiktok. For anyone who's not familiar you pay him a small fee to call someone for you and well break bad news either anonymously if want or you can include your name.
airivolkova@reddit
My mother found out about my dads affair from a text message sent to her that she couldnt trace. She always suspected it was someone from my dads job who told her, they even included the name of his mistress! So um.. just buy a prepaid sim card and send a text
GoldenTiger01@reddit
Why tf do you care ? It's not your business stay out of it
wmm339@reddit
Who prints out boarding passes?
guavajo44@reddit
I thought I was the only one who thought this! Who TF prints out boarding passes anymore?
forkedquality@reddit
I do. Ever had a phone die?
You_Matt_Bro@reddit
Def not when I know I have my boarding pass on it. Even if it dies you can just have it printed at the airport
guavajo44@reddit
I’m a stickler for keeping my phone charged, and a power bank handy
forkedquality@reddit
So am I. But it might be the phone itself that dies or gets lost.
But I also usually carry a paper copy of my travel documents. Some would call it paranoid.
doverats@reddit
Stop poking your nose into other peoples business. If this is what you worry about then you need to get a life. Also reeks of insane jealousy.
BryanP1968@reddit
Normally I would agree. But people who cheat on their spouses, especially when there’s kids involved, are worthless sacks of shit and deserve any bad thing you can do to them.
doverats@reddit
so you pull them aside and speak to them. If youre going to stick the knife in, at least do it from the front.
meinhertzmachtbum@reddit
Underrated comment
toadjones79@reddit
Since this is ULPT, the obvious answer is to kidnap the kids and set their house on fire.

Well if we are doing piss discs we may as well jump on the shit grating band wagon. Freeze a turd in a plastic bag then grate it with a cheese grater around their carpet. Will melt in to the carpet and have no idea where the stench is coming from 👌
Tachythanatous@reddit
Make a friend to call their spouses and say something in the lines of "I'm so sorry for calling on their holidays, but X happened in the office and we would really appreciate them taking 2 hours max to solve it! We'll pay overtime, of course!"
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Why does reddit have this self righteous hard-on for meddling in things that have nothing to do with them?
182secondsofblinking@reddit
If you don't like the thread, why are you commenting so you get dragged back here every time someone replies?
You do realise you are perfectly able to scroll on past things that make you feel like this, right? What an awful take on "should I tell my coworkers spouses about their sneaking around and going to a hotel together on vacation days". It is "to do with them" when it's happening around all the colleagues, when theyre printing boarding passes on the work printer, telling their spouse's it's the workplace organising the trip etc. Don't involve your workplace if you don't want anybody from work getting all up in your business. Perhaps yours is the take of someone who has cheated and been found out though... your comment does just positively scream "allow it".
ThespianException@reddit
Cheaters are scum and their partners deserve to know. Basic human decency.
equality4everyonenow@reddit
(Yawn) There are so many better things to be indignant about. Tax laws that favor the rich. Wealth inequality . Global warming. Price fixing that harms consumers. Prisons for profit. Healthcare for profit. Corrupt politicians. Living in a kleptocratic plutocracy. Human trafficking. Rich who abuse children and get away with it . Seeing the same post about cheating spouses over and over is so pedantic and repetitively boring.
182secondsofblinking@reddit
How boring and arrogant to think that this response, that has been repeatedly downvoted, was worth copying and pasting in response to anyone who disagreed with you. It wasn't, you didn't do a thing here creating a little paragraph about big crimes in your efforts to minimise this situation.
Yes, the world has bad things happening a lot, if you want to focus only on the worst stuff where you can have barely any effect: good for you, please go do that away from here! But you are the exact Karen busybody you fear but worse - you're giving your inflammatory opinions in places that don't even ask for it, need or want it. If you have nothing nice to say, move tf along. If you think it's ridiculous for people to be even commenting here and giving UELPT... why the hellllll are you here? The word "hypocrite" springs to mind.
ThespianException@reddit
That's great and all but you can't do a goddamn thing about any one of those on an individual level, whereas you can potentially inform someone that their spouse is cheating. The existence of societal issues doesn't mean personal wrongs don't matter.
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Don't participate in minutae that doesn't affect you. You're not going to change anything here either. You can educate people around you not to vote against their societal interests. This is just small minded unhealthy fascination with who is diddling whom.
ThespianException@reddit
Idk bro it kinda just sounds like you want to cheat on people and not face consequences for it
equality4everyonenow@reddit
It sounds like you prefer to waste your time on other people's minutae. This is how the rich distract us while they steal everything
ThespianException@reddit
Most of us have the capacity for multiple thoughts at once. None of the issues you’ve mentioned are in any way new or revolutionary, they’ve been extensively discussed for ages and still are complained about constantly. Some people can, in fact, be aware of those problems and still care about their fellow man at the same time. The fact that you need to deflect from personal ills by pointing to societal ones is weird as fuck.
equality4everyonenow@reddit
We will never come together to solve real problems while we are distracted by the soap opera that these posts are.
ThespianException@reddit
Let's be real, your bitching and poor attempts at moral grandstanding on Reddit were never going to change anything regardless
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Nope. And neither are yours
ThespianException@reddit
It's you pretending you're better than anyone else because you don't engage in the "minutiae", right? Same difference.
perkiezombie@reddit
They don’t know they’re cheating though.
Both could be separated and be in an actual marriage and keeping it quiet. They could be in open relationships. There are so many factors involved here.
ThespianException@reddit
Sweet, so if any of those are true then there's no issue with telling the partners, right?
throwaway_72752@reddit
If those scenarios are true, then there won’t be an issue with the partners being told. If none of those scenarios apply, then their partners deserve to know.
perkiezombie@reddit
OP no matter how anonymously you go about this it’s going to blow up in your face when it inevitably gets tracked back to the boarding passes being printed at work.
perkiezombie@reddit
I’m in an open relationship and I’d be fuming that someone had the vindictiveness to try and blow my life up while not knowing the whole story.
N4_foom@reddit

atlgeo@reddit
Can't personally do a damn thing about any of those problems can we? But we can definitely impact this evil. (Your mouth is still open).
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Lol. Keep telling yourself that.
N4_foom@reddit
I'll remind myself that morality is relative, next time I can get ahead by shoving an old woman out of the way.... "get rekt, ya old bag, didn't you hear about price fixing?"
Far-Sir1362@reddit
Most people want to live in a fair and just world.
People cheating on their partner is neither of those things. People on Reddit want to make the world fairer.

Far-Sir1362@reddit
All of those problems are things that an individual can have an infinitesimally small effect on.
Informing cheating people's partners would have an immediate and very large effect.
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Who cares? You think you're going to solve anything in the long term? This is the kinda nonsense that the rich distract us with while they steal all the money.
Far-Sir1362@reddit
So what's your point? We should stop caring about small injustices we see in our daily lives that we could fix, because there are bigger injustices going on that we can't do anything about?
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Don't participate in minutae that doesn't affect you. You're not going to change anything here either. You can educate people around you not to vote against their societal interests. This is just small minded unhealthy fascination with who is diddling whom.
Far-Sir1362@reddit
If OP sees it regularly and the injustice annoys them, it does affect them. Probably more so most of the other issues you mentioned.
You might help an unhappy partner leave their cheating spouse and have a happier life and an honest relationship in the future.
Not sure how this is relevant
If you have a stable life and nothing more important to spend your time on, what's the problem?
equality4everyonenow@reddit
It's the reddit equivalent of watching soap operas all day.
Far-Sir1362@reddit
It's not, because they're actually making a difference that will affect their daily life. They won't have to be annoyed every day by seeing colleagues cheating.
But for argument's sake, even if it was like watching soap operas, who cares? If OP has enough free time and they're handling all their adulting responsibilities, why can't they watch soap operas sometimes?
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Guaranteed that most of these stories are fiction. The fact that there are so many responses screams that there are numerous busybody Karen's on Reddit
equality4everyonenow@reddit
Getting annoyed? Id say unhealthy fascination

axxoz@reddit
Ask their partners where are they going on personal vacation
Living_Smoke_2729@reddit
OP, make sure that none of the shrapnel from whatever you decide to do isn't going to blow back on your job. If this is a well-known "secret," talk with your boss about it before you do anything. Ideally, their bosses should deal with it. Your company may have a non-fraternization policy.
Appropriate-Mud-4450@reddit
Call her husband or his fiancée and asked if they can ask their spouse for the location of a file they promised to leave at your desk before leaving for their Holiday. Maybe start by apologising for the disturbance at their holiday...
atlgeo@reddit
Bingo. You've tried calling his/her phone but it's going straight to voice mail and then says 'voice mailbox is full'.
Appropriate-Mud-4450@reddit
And why would that be?
GraemeMakesBeer@reddit
Phone the partners and say “I know that your partner is on vacation but we were going to buy them a gift to celebrate how well they have been working with [insert other adulterer’s name here]”
traveler19395@reddit
Do you have a legitimate reason you would need to contact one or both of them while they're on vacation? Call their personal phone a couple times while they're in the air and won't receive it. Then, call their partner(s) and say, "Hey this is [name] from [work], really sorry to bother you, I know [person] is on vacation this week, but I really need access to this one account. Are you with them right now?"
Any-Tart9511@reddit
Contacting someone’s S/O over work is absolutely unhinged

traveler19395@reddit
welcome to ULPT
Omega_Boost24@reddit
He asked us to find a way not to reveal he's from work, this seems too obvious, it will lead to some obvious problems
DaGreatPenguini@reddit
Try this: While they’re in the air, call their numbers from either your company’s front desk or an empty office. When the call goes to vm, disguise your voice and say that you’re from HR and need to discuss the vacation they’ve just embarked on. Now do the same with their SOs being sure to only leave vms. Profit.
traveler19395@reddit
Yeah, not reveal he's from work if it's going to be a "your partner is cheating on you!" message. But, what I'm proposing would be fine, because you're not telling the partner anything unprofessional, but still accomplishing the purpose in a roundabout way.
jtjDk@reddit
Totally agree - do it with both and say that you are very sorry, but both coworkers have time off, and you can't reach any of them
If you could create a real emergency too, so that you can just point to the dumpster fire you are trying to fix, that would be Great

KAYBEE60@reddit
I can understand how you feel both ways, but in the long run, you did the right thing. The only thing that would be worse is if she had another child with the cheater. Worse than that, he gets his side piece pregnant. What a mess. You didn't ruin the birth of her baby--you probably salvaged it. All babies are special, but there is something about the first, and her knucklehead husband is out disrespecting her and their firstborn. He wouldn't have changed. Besides, he was lucky to learn this lesson at a young age.

Remarkable_Video8128@reddit
I did this once and it caused a divorce. Our GM at Jimmy John’s was cheating on his pregnant wife with a coworker and was really open about it. I made a FB account with a fake name, friended his wife and spilled the beans. I then deleted the account. She left him before their child was born. I felt really bad for her, but also felt compelled to tell her. He was blind sided and it completely wrecked his life. They were HS sweethearts and had been together for at least 7 years when this happened. The entire store got to witness his comeuppance. It was sorta satisfying. Sometimes I think about it and regret doing it.
Alert-Potato@reddit
Why do you regret it? Better she found out the truth that way than when he came home with an STD that could compromise not only her health, but her unborn child's health, and possibly even force her into unnecessary surgery. And he wasn't blindsided, that's bullshit. There's no such thing as being blindsided by your partner finding out you're fucking other people, he always knew that was possible when he decided to be a piece of shit human.
Remarkable_Video8128@reddit
I don’t know why I have some feeling of regret, it doesn’t really make sense, but I do. I don’t think life is always binary, black or white, right or wrong. For the most part I feel it was the right thing to do. I would want someone to tell me if my wife was cheating on me. At the time, I had no regrets and was “proud” that I did it. In hindsight I just have different feelings about it. I suppose some of the feeling stem from the wife being so close to birth that it probably ruined some of the excitement of having his child. On the other hand, she was having her cheating husbands child and whatever the parenting situation ended being after birth, she went from excited for their future family to having a broken home before the child was born.

themcjizzler@reddit

bbennett108@reddit
If you were the wife, wouldn’t you want to know?
Shitty outcome but it’s the GM’s fault, not yours.
Remarkable_Video8128@reddit
Yes and that is why I did it. It was totally his fault. I knew both of them from school as well, but only as classmates not friends. He would sneak off during shifts to fuck around in an unfinished upstairs that he had keys to. His wife would come by and she was 6-7 months along at this time. I get horrible for her, but didn’t have the courage to tell her to her face. After I made the FB account and sent her a message, she had tons of questions. I answered a few and then deleted the account. The fallout at the store was wild. She kicked him out of the house and he was a wreck. He knew one of us told, but never figured out who. The home wrecker he was fucking knew he was married and soon to be a father too. She had to quit because of the embarrassment. She joined the Army. Later she married and her husband ended up killing himself. I don’t know any details beyond that, but I always wonder how my decision contributed to how fucked up their lives became.
breadandcheese4me@reddit
Wild story. Understandable that you'd feel torn about it, but it would have come up eventually. You just accelerated the process. I've been cheated on and figured it out eventually. I wish someone would have told me sooner so I could start the process of dumping his ass and rebuilding my life. For what it's worth, as someone who's been cheated on, I think you did the right thing.
bbennett108@reddit
You shouldn’t feel guilty at all cuz you did the right thing. She would’ve found out eventually and it would’ve been much shittier timing for her and the kid.

don’t some printers have a “recall last job” option
Stobley_meow@reddit
Copiers and printers commonly used in business environments usually have a hard drive that contains copies of everything printed/copied on them.
zeusofyork@reddit
There was a whole special on this. When gov/private entities got rid of old printers and people bought them, they pulled the hard drives to see what was on them. SSN, medical records, private documents the whole shebang. They 💯 need to be sanitized before being discarded but nobody really knows this.
Illustrious-Fly-5912@reddit
It definitely happens but it's also standard protocol to sanitize all that stuff before it gets thrown away. I know this because it's about 75% of my job (clearing all this crap for government agencies). Now if some office throws something out without going through the proper channels, that's a problem
zeusofyork@reddit
Capitalism dictates that unless promoted, private usually is worse about it. Gov has laws, regulations, and penalties... Whether it's followed is TBD.

Firstly, none of your business. Second, the affair is not really the problem, it’s you not getting along with the guy, and some weird need to get one over on him. Lastly, you don’t want any responsibility for the shitshow you’ll undoubtedly cause if you blow the affair. Even the guys having the affair have the moral high ground over you.
ThespianException@reddit
Absolutely not, in no world does the guy betraying a loved one have any sort of moral high ground over the person informing the betrayed partner. OP having petty reasons doesn't change the fact that one is MUCH worse than the other.
mrolo70@reddit
My point is that if this person is so offended by the bahaviour of his coworkers then he should have the balls to say something to them, rather than set off a shit storm elsewhere. The fact he wants to do this all secretly with no comeback is just wrong.

Ruin it? You're looking at this the wrong way. Confront them with your knowledge and imply you have more proof than you actually have. Show them the letters you have already prepared to send to their respective partners detailing the entire sordid affair, then let them know that for the right price you will not reveal their secret. That price, of course, is an all expenses paid trip to wherever it is they are going. Have the letters already written on your phone, and hover your finger over the send button if they balk at your demand. Bonus points if you can negotiate a three way if you're into that kind of thing.

There was a surprising phenomenon that happened over two hundred million years of birds existing. Before, the Earth's day was about 25 hours long.

When they detected we got down to the correct 24 hour day, they switched to flying north and south with the seasons.

DntMindMeImNtRlyHere@reddit
I am disappointed in all the "Cancel their flights" or "Call their partners" advice. That just isn't very creative and I enjoy the creativity in this sub.
Clearly, you need to take out a billboard. It will be up for at least 30 days, if not more. Create a shell corporation to rent the billboard so it isn't traced back to you.
You could show up to the airport in disguise and get pictures of them walking in together, with luggage, looking probably not like they're on a work trip.
Use those images on the billboard. If you can pay a PI in their vacation region to nab a couple pictures of them canoodling in paradise, that would be fun, too.
Either way, this is gonna run you about $2000 and some light internet research.
And you can see the destruction happen in real time because I know if I saw my husband on a billboard with his mistress, I am packing my shit and moving out the same day (or he would be, tbh) and then I'm showing up at work in the afternoon so EVERYBODY has time to be nosy after lunch and before they go home. Clap the stripey boards together because I'm gonna cause a SCENE. LOLLLLLL

Some years back I think it was American or United Airlines did a Spouse Flies Free promotion. A lot of guys booked the flights with their affair partner. Oh ... yea ... the Airline then e-mailed the spouse thanking them for flying with them and hoped they enjoyed their trip.
One of the bigger PR blunders in business history.
So ... e-mail the partners as if you are with the airline and thank them and their partner for the upcoming trip and tell them that Roses, Champaign, and Chocolate Covered Strawberries will be awaiting them upon arriving at the hotel. (Points if you know what hotel). Use the full name of the affair partner. If you can find out the name of the hotel and when they are to check in, put that in the e-mail as well.
If you know anyone in the area they are flying to (especially an actor or actress) have them approach the male, use his name and say you didn't know he got divorced and that you have to call his ex and check in with her.
All sorts of fun you can with this.
And does your work have any type of morality clauses that they can stumble over?
Biscotti-Own@reddit

It was an open secret in the office. Our boss wasn’t happy about it but felt there wasn’t much he could do.
I found out they both had the same day off coming up, as they had in the past. Had a friend who was a PI. My boss agreed to hire him.

You could really play into this with their Emergency contact info. And could pose as an automated message to really throw people a loop. And text all three of them if you can.
Bob = male cheating spouse. Amy = female cheating spouse.
"We've been unable to reach Bob while traveling for. We are notifying and Amy as you are both listed as Emergency contacts for Bob. Please let us know if you have been able to make contact with Bob so that we can update our records. Otherwise we will initiate in-person contact at the expected travel destination of . Have you been able to contact Bob? Reply YES if you have contacted Bob after his travel is complete. Reply NO if you have been unable to contact Bob. Reply HELP if you need assistance.
Reply STOP if you wish to no longer receive messages related to Bob's travel."
This will 100% sow suspicion between the spouses. "Why is she your Emergency contact? I thought you were staying at a cheap hotel, not the fancy one!"

Would someone from work be able to meet them at the airport to wish them a good flight? Just let them know you (plural) know as leverage

What’s your work’s policy on relationships? Send an anonymous tip to HR voicing your concerns.

No official policy against relationships, unfortunately our HR team is absolutely useless.

So why do you want to be above the law and ruin peoples happiness? It's not against the law, it's just wrong with you, but maybe everyone else is OK with it. You're Karenig yourself maybe

when y'all are in front of other coworkers, ask them 'hey, so what are you guys doing your days off?' you don't have to saying anything at all about their days coinciding. you can even play dumb and say something like 'oh it's the same days? is there some event or festival going on?'
good luck :)
jlscott0731@reddit
Or just bring it up to HR and get partners involved with that as well...
777blue_@reddit
Get someone to call their house pretending to be hr, saying to the spouse something like "I know you getting ready for your romantic vocation to [ ] so sorry to bother you but I need to verify form 314yk to file holiday fund application before you leave so .."
jlscott0731@reddit
Tell their partners...
melaurel@reddit
Do you know (or can you find out) where they are staying? If so, then the game is afoot!
Start sending deliveries - food, grocery, flowers, sex toys, anything you can think of - and time them so they come 20-30minutes apart, as late into the night as you can manage. All night if possible. Because you don't know the room number, the desk clerk or delivery person will have to call them to the lobby each time. The idea here is to block any prime time "sexy times" and deprive them of both sleep and fun.
Personally, I would get the whole office in on the challenge and award prizes/points for most creative item delivered, items that follow a nightly theme, most expensive and least expensive item, best delivery method, best story for the delivery person ("they're my best friends and I want to anonymously surprise them" - probably no points for that lame excuse)... extra points for proof of delivery. Be sure to clue in the hotel night clerk with a good cover story and give them a generous tip. Fun for all, except the sleep-deprived, sex-starved couple whose trip is ruined!
Can't wait to hear how your office IT guy got his cousin's college roommate's sister to drop off a porcelain frog at 3am... that's gotta be worth like 500 points, right?
AlaskanSamsquanch@reddit
Obviously tell on them anonymously. Definitely wait until they’re gone so it ruins their vacation.
krak_krak@reddit
The best thing to do in this situation is to treat it like a movie and you are the savvy sneaky protagonist.
Obtain a semi-passable disguise and follow your coworkers on their secret sultry work trip. It would be best if you could take on the role of a friendly hotel attendant, waiter, or driver.
Try to find a way to record them for your own satisfaction. Years later, you can watch it and feel glad about how you totally “got them”.
They had it coming so no matter what you do it’s worth it. In the end, sometimes the story and the lessons we learn are better than minding our own business.
leirbagflow@reddit
Call their spouse, pretend to be a manager at the hotel they're at, and ask if they'd like a complimentary upgrade.
"Yes hi, is this Mr. xxx? Yes? Great. I'm calling from the four seasons aruba, and I see you're booked for two people in the romance suite, but we've just had a last minute cancellation. Would you like a complimentary upgrade to the honeymoon suite?
Oh...you're not going to aruba? Oh I assumed because the reservation is in jane doe's name and this is her husband you would be going, but I must be mistaken. So sorry. Goodbye"
More than likely, they won't answer, though. So just be ready to have a phone convo or leave a voicemail that communicates that their spouse has a reservatioin for two somewhere romantic, and you assumed it was wiht their spouse. You can spoof your phone number to be coming from a hotel (or just the right area code of wherever they're going.

devilmaskrascal@reddit
I would hesitate to directly involve the partners without knowing the context - maybe the fiancee who still has time to get out before it is legally binding.
Honestly the most straightforward thing to do here is report to your boss and HR for inappropriate work relationship with the context they are married/engaged and may be using work as an excuse to conduct an affair. If you can reprint the boarding passes from the work printer, do it. Using workplace equipment to conduct an extramarital affair...They also have the vacation requests as corroborating proof. It is causing a distraction since everyone knows they are not single.
The person you don't like may be transferred or fired.

Break into their houses the night before they leave without waking anybody and slip a couple of piss discs into their freshly packed luggage.
BigGayGinger4@reddit
looks like you're on a burner account?
bingo.
do what the others said -- send the partners pics of the passes.
just, also anonymously send the offenders a link to this reddit thread when you're done :)
Ill-Course8623@reddit
too much detail. OP mentioned enough clues that sending the link might not be wise.

There are kids involved. Op needs to get a life
Burgundy121@reddit (OP)
I hear what you're saying, it'd be easy to anonymously email the husband but I have no desire to cause him or his kids any pain, which is why I'm asking for unethical suggestions to ruin their holiday.
Voxxicus@reddit
The pain will just get worse the longer this goes on. Have fun fucking over the cheaters, but the SOs deserve to know.
JupiterSkyFalls@reddit
There ARE kids involved so maybe the cheaters should keep it in their pants, eh?
mak_zaddy@reddit
You’re in the wrong subreddit.

Gtfo of this subreddit
Mushrooming247@reddit
OK how about he mails some piss disks and liquid ass to both of their homes anonymously and gets on with his life like he’s not a pathetic weirdo.
Seriously, it’s unethical enough to be this invested in the secret lives of your coworkers. He is fulfilling the unethical requirement just by existing and potentially fabricating this whole scenario in his head and is just going to harass some random people.

Slackinger23@reddit
All for messing up the cheaters’ lives and warning the fiancée but hate to mess with those kids…they may need his health insurance and such so why mess with their lives? But the cheaters? Have at it. Slow and painful…
Omega_Boost24@reddit
This is ulpt, so first I'm gonna give mine.
Ask jokingly when the both of them are in the same room where they are going on holiday, just like that. Tell them someone told you they are going out together, don't remember who, but you thought it was a public thing. You could even mention the boarding passes.
It will totally bring their feet to the ground and made them rethink what they're doing.
May I ask you why do you want to ruin this people happiness? As far as you know their marriage isn't working and maybe it's all good on their side with their partners. It's not like you need to be sad for your life if you have kids. Maybe her husband hits her, or disrespectsher and she's done.

Office memo inviting everyone to their engagement party the day before they go.
str8cocklover@reddit
Why not just blackmail them to do anything you want or you will tell.their partners.
frostedpuzzle@reddit
Go into the printer history and preprint the boarding passes. Two copies each. Mail them to each of their homes.
Designer-Swan-3687@reddit
Plan a company dinner/bbq and invite others in the company but also their SOs. Reach out to the two that are getting cheated on and ask if they want to join the group for a night out.
Because if their reason to them is a “work trip” then this dinner/bbq would be putting the cheaters plan up in flames. It would instantly show both of them that they are being lied to.
And even if you get any flack from the two cheater co-workers play dumb and say I didn’t know you both were gone those days, or I just wanted to include everyone so no one felt left out.
