One of my friends that I've known since I was 8-years-old, told me something she did to her ex-boyfriend that left me laughing my butt off (though I did tell her what she did is wrong). She was dating a man that she didn't want to go out with anymore, so she broke up with him, rather than stringing him along. 

I don't know what he was thinking when he tasked her to hook him up with one of her friends, since they were breaking up (spite, maybe?). He told her he wants "a nice, pretty girl like you" (this was his first mistake, as what she did next was not "nice" LOL). I don't know if she was angry that he asked her to do this, but she found someone for him alright. They spoke over the phone and he paid for a plane ticket for the woman she'd found to fly out and meet him.

Shortly after, he called my friend dismayed and stunned, "The woman you have sent me has the appearance of a man." My friend found the most mannish woman she barely knew, an acquaintance and had the man buy an expensive plane ticket to fly her to his adopted home country in Europe, thinking she was sending him a stunner (he was stunned alright).

I laughed so hard when she told me what she'd done I started crying. I didn't agree with it when I found out after the fact and I did say it was wrong, but I was laughing so hard when I said it, I don't know how effective my words were in deterring her from doing something like this gain.

I don't know if he was trying to make her jealous, thinking dating one of her pretty friends would make her want him back, but whatever that  was, it backfired on him badly. In short, they don't speak anymore (LOL). I know he'll never ask another ex-girlfriend that again.
