One vengeful lady owner…
by Charlie Peverett in Your car on 09.05.08
There’s another one of those stories on the BBC - you know, of the wronged-woman-takes-revenge-in-public kind.
This one involves a woman in South Africa, who’s driving around town with a list of her husband’s infidelities attached to the car.
Apparently it’s an effort to get him to pay the maintenance he owes her.
It reminded me of the billboard poster from a couple of years ago, put up by a jilted wife keen to blow her husband’s cover in the most public way possible.
It was simple, but brilliantly worded:
Dear Steven
Do I have your attention now?
I know all about her, you dirty, sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly-endowed slimeball. Everything’s caught on tape.
Your (soon-to-be-ex) Wife
Emily
p.s. I paid for this billboard from OUR joint bank account
Pictures of unfaithful, unfortunate Steven’s car getting graffitied with ‘HOPE SHE WAS WORTH IT’ were part of the same campaign of humiliation.
Of course, it was all too good to be true - it turned out to be a publicity stunt for a new reality TV show.
But brilliant nevertheless.
Tried telling my ex wife not to tell everyone about my taste for polygamy but she wouldn’t take my calls.
