Breaking up is never easy, and when you have to see your ex at work every day, it adds an extra layer of difficulty. This is the story of how one Reddit user, not only navigated the challenges of a post-breakup workplace but also turned the tables on an annoying colleague, proving that sometimes the best revenge is a well-timed dose of positivity.

So, a few years back, OP and her ex decided to part ways. While she managed to move on, her ex and his best friend, whom we'll refer to as John, seemed to struggle with the breakup. To make matters more complicated, they all worked together.

John, seemingly fueled by a desire to irk OP, made it a routine to approach her with an overly cheerful demeanor. "Hey OP! Good Morning! How's your day going? Mine's Great!" he would exclaim, trying to get a reaction. OP endured this annoying routine, but it grated on her nerves.

After some introspection, helped along by a little recreational activity, OP realized that John's behavior stemmed from a desire to be a bully and get under her skin. Determined not to let this continue, she hatched a plan – turn the tables on John.

The next day, she beat him at his own game. "Hey, John! Good Morning! How's your day going? Mine's Great!" she cheerfully initiated the conversation, leaving John utterly confused. The sheer unexpectedness of OP, the target of his annoying routine, being the one to greet him so enthusiastically was a victory in itself.

OP didn't stop there; she kept up this strategy every time she encountered John. The tables turned so dramatically that John, instead of bothering OP, actively avoided her. Unable to report her for anything negative – after all, she was just being nice – John found himself in a powerless position.

As time passed, OP moved on to a different team, but the victory was already hers. The once-annoying colleague, unable to touch her with his antics, now had to steer clear of her.
