What’s the most brutal reality check you’ve ever seen?

In high school, I was the nerd everyone ignored—except for the most popular girl in class. She’d sweet-talk me into doing her homework, even texting me flirty messages. One day, I told her I couldn’t do her assignment because I was sick. Moments later, I was blocked on every platform. Months of being used hit me like a truck. But I got my revenge—I wrote her college application essays, filling them with random nonsense. She was rejected everywhere. The text I got from her later? Pure gold.
