While the internet loves a good instant karma or you had it coming story, revenge stories are certainly on that list. Add a dash of self-entitlement and a Karen into the mix and you got yourself one juicy story.
In particular, the story follows a guy—let’s call him Dave—who is planning to marry a lady, who is very appropriately named Karen—you know where this is going—and she is being difficult about it all. All of this led to an unfortunate but at the same time positive ending, at least for the good guys.

The story surfaced on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit, drawing internaut attention and comments, and made some headlines online along the way.

Everything has to be ideal on your wedding day, right? But often time it isn’t ideal, so try to make the best of it?

So, the story goes that Dave, let’s call him the story’s protagonist, was in a relationship of four years with a lady that has eventually been called Karen—both as a means to anonymize her, but also to explain what kind of a person she was.
Anywho, she demanded (based on “tradition”) to be given a diamond ring as a sign of marriage, hinting at how much of a gold-digger she was. Dave wasn’t too rich, but well-off enough to find a good alternative for that—a white sapphire ring that looks like a diamond one, if you’re not a jeweler.
Wrong. Be self entitled and get super upset when the ring isn’t “diamond”? Yep, that’s how this story goes

This was not just because it was a sensible alternative, but also one that can be synthesized and doesn’t potentially involve slave labor, so there’s that as well.
Anyway, he proposed, not telling her it was actually not a diamond, which he himself was criticized for, but it was also because he’d caught on by that point to how much of a Karen she was, so it was low-key payback.
By the looks of things, it seemed like Dave was willing to put up with her attitude if he was planning to marry her. But it got worse.

Karen continued to be her entitled self, complaining how the pandemic was definitely no excuse for people not to attend what seemed like a 300-person wedding, but that wasn’t all.
She managed to invite a bunch of people on her side of the family, excluding a lot of people on Dave’s side, and she also did so without even running her guest list by the groom. In response to this, Dave called off the wedding.
While Karen kept the ring out of spite after they had fallen out, Dave eventually found out she tried to pawn the ring. This is where she also found out that it’s not diamond, but sapphire, which only fueled her dissatisfaction with the situation.

Yes, it got worse. She bombarded Dave with calls and texts demanding he reimburse her the full price of the ring, going so far as to threaten the dude. “He and I had a good laugh listening to her tantrum,” concluded the post.
You know the saying (and by proxy, the popular Marilyn Monroe song) diamonds are a girl’s best friend? Well, apparently sapphires aren’t. Or at least when said girl is a Karen.

The comment section was fun to read through as well, with many praising Dave for being a smart, yet evil genius who knows how to plot revenge. Others pointed out how technically if she was to sue him, it would be her who owes him, so revenge would become even sweeter. Yet others celebrated Dave’s freedom from (a) Karen.
All in all, the story got modest attention, but was discussed beyond Reddit in the form of reposts and articles on other media sides. You can check out more on the post here, but before you go, let us know your thoughts on the whole matter in the comment section below!
