A guy on Twitter hatched a plan to get back at his ex who was using his Netflix Inc NFLX account to watch the hit show “Squid Game.” The people of Twitter obliged with creative ways to add more pain to the errant ex’s life.
What Happened: The person who goes by as “Clark” on Twitter posted that his ex signed into his Netflix account and watched an episode of “Squid Game.”
“I’m gonna let him get halfway through the season then change the password,” tweeted Clark.
I just saw that my ex signed into my Netflix account and watched an episode of "Squid Game." I'm gonna let him get half way through the season then change the password.

While Clark’s plan may seem pretty evil at the outset, Twitter had plenty to contribute.
While you're at it, log in at odd hours and "continue watching" so he misses parts. Or rewatch half of the previous episode so he gets confused.

Twitter user “SimplyNess” suggested that Clark change the language settings from English “to something really obscure.”
There’s better. Go into settings & change the language from English to something really obscure. It’s a beast to change back because all of the directions & prompts will be in that other language.

“Fiery Progressive” suggested a touch of Voodoo to spook the Squid Game-watching ex.

One of the Twitterati suggested changing the password after the ex finishes episode 4 because “it ends in a cliffhanger.”

Although there were some like “Willy Clart” who suggested a more conciliatory approach.
Wow! There are some incredibly vindictive people on here. Trouble letting go much? Are you more angry at your ex, or your poor choices and judgment about people? My wife and I each had 3 exes present at our wedding. Make peace.
