PAYBACK TIME!: Angry American ex-wife pays divorce settlement in COINS mixed with rice and beans!
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - especially when she is armed with loose change and a few plastic containers.
When faced with a court order to pay her ex-husband $50.12 as part of a divorce settlement, the aggrieved spouse ponied up the money in pennies delivered in Tupperware filled with rice and beans.
To add insult to injury, the unnamed woman wrote her husband a stinging farewell note.
Change of pace: When ordered by a judge to pay her ex-husband $50.12 as part of a divorce settlement, an ex-wife ponied up the money in pennies delivered in Plastic containers filled with rice and beans
‘Andy, Here's forty seven dollars and twelve cents in pennies,’ the missive read. ‘The other three dollars paid for the containers that I used. Receipt is included if you want to return them...
‘Oh! one last thing, I added beans and rice to remind you that you married a beaner : ) I hope you have a fab life! B/C I know mines 20x better without you in it!’
Photos of the coins divided into three plastic containers were posted Tuesday by the husband, identified only as Andy from Omaha, Nebraska.
The ex-husband clarified that the ‘beaner’ reference – a racially charged slur used to describe people of Mexican heritage – comes from his wife’s tendency to call herself that in a show ‘pride.’
‘She thought every single person looked at her negatively because she was Hispanic,’ the man claimed.
The story has stirred much interest among the users of the popular site, with many commenters siding with Andy and condemning his ex-wife's stunt.
At least one attorney has even offered to go after the woman to collect the $3 she supposedly owes him, claiming that she had no right to pay him in Tupperware.
In response to several requests from curious Redditors asking him to share the tale of his failed marriage, Andy wrote a lengthy post laying out the facts.
According to the Nebraska resident, he and his ex-wife had a great relationship before they got married, but everything changed soon after they said ‘I do.’
Andy wrote that his once hard-working and dedicated spouse quit her job, failed out of school, started neglecting her chores around the house and morphed into an all-around ‘angry person.’
The first signs of trouble appeared during the couple’s honeymoon, when according to Andy, his blushing bride declared that she is not happy with the location of their romantic getaway and forced him to take her home ahead of schedule.
And that was only the beginning. The already rocky relationship took a turn for the worse when the husband said he discovered that his newlywed wife had invited another man to stay with her for two weeks while he was visiting his parents.
The couple turned for help to a marriage counselor, and for a time things seemed to be looking up for the two, if it weren't for some lingering trust issues.
Note of protest: The unnamed woman wrote her husband a stinging goodbye note, telling him that her life will be 20 times better without him
Andy wrote that a year into their marriage, his spouse revealed that when they first started dating, she had been pregnant with a baby fathered by her old flame, but lost the child.
It all came to ahead when Andy decide to take a peek at his wife’s Facebook account, which she had gone to great lengths to shield from him.
‘I found a conversation with the guy she was pregnant with had been talking our entire relationship,’ he wrote on Reddit. ‘Wat [sic] they were saying was she only married me because he got married, she had already signed divorce papers and was just waiting for me to sign (she didnt).
‘Worst was that I found a conversation about her still planning to “sleep with" him two weeks from when I was reading the messages which was when the relationship was strongest.’
The jilted husband said that the final straw came when his wife threw a glass bottle at him, missing him by a few inches, and then shattered their entertainment center.
However, Andy has admitted that his wife was not entirely to blame for the failure of their marriage, and that he too had issues - like his tendency to play video games for days on end.
*LOL! Can't help laughing....but seriously, how did she think of this kind of revenge?

VIDEO: Chris Brown Sentenced to 1,000 MORE HOURS Of Community Service
Click to play video:
TMZ - Chris Brown just got his ass handed to him in court -- the judge sentenced him to 1,000 more hours of community labor after the L.A. County D.A. accused him of fudging his records.
As reported, the D.A. believes the singer violated his probation in the Rihanna beating case by submitting bogus community service reports -- in one case even swearing he was picking up trash in Virginia when he was actually on a private jet to Cancun.
The judge revoked Chris' probation last month in the wake of hit-and-run allegations, but reinstated it yesterday on the condition Chris completes an additional 1,000 hours of community service.
Think of it like a do-over -- because of the discrepancy in Chris' original labor hours, the singer won't get ANY credit for service he may or may not have completed since his conviction. Chris was originally sentenced to 180 days of community labor (1,440 hours).
Unlike last time -- when the judge said Chris could complete his labor in his home state of Virginia -- the judge today ordered that Chris' service must be supervised by L.A. County officials.
Chris can choose between Caltrans (aka highway cleanup), beach cleanup, probation alternative work services (PAWS), or our personal favorite ... graffiti removal.
Chris must also report to a probation officer within the next 48 hours. He did not look happy in court.
The good news ... Chris' probation will finally end in August 2014. One more year to go.
Spain's richest woman and co-founder of ZARA dies at 69
Spain's richest woman, Rosalia Mera, has died aged 69.
She suffered a stroke on the Mediterranean island of Menorca and died Thursday night at a hospital in La Coruna, the city where she was born in Spain's Galicia region.
The self-made billionaire made her fortune by co-founding the High Street brand Zara in 1975 in La Coruna with her then-husband, Armancio Ortega.
Loss: Rosalia Mera died on Thursday after reportedly suffering a stroke
The retail chain specialises in low-priced versions of designer styles - a formula that made it in hit in Spain and other countries around the world.
There are currently 1,763 Zara stores globally and their profits have been boosted by support from trendsetters such as the Duchess of Cambridge and Kim Sears wearing their clothes.
Ms Mera was a major stakeholder in Inditex SA, the owner of the Zara chain that also owns retailers Bershka, Masssimo Dutti, Oysho, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, Uterque and Zara Home.
Success: She co-founded Zara in 1975 and it went on to be a global brand with stores on High Streets around the world
Fans of the brand: Sales soared after Kate wore a Zara dress the day after she married Prince William, left, while Kim Sears wore a dress from the store as she watched boyfriend Andy Murray on his way to victory at Wimbledon this year
She held 5.1 per cent of Inditex, and her fortune was estimated by Forbes at £3.9bn. The magazine said she was the world's 195th richest person but held the number one spot on its list for 'wealthiest self-made woman'.
Her remarkable rise in fortune began after she quit school at the age of 11 and became a seamstress.
She co-founded the first Zara store in 1975 in La Coruna with Ortega, who is listed by Forbes as the world's third-richest person. The couple divorced in 1986.
Started out as a seamstress: Ms Mera's fortune was this year estimated by Forbes at £3.9bn
Saddened: Her company has paid tribute to the businesswoman
They were originally going to call the store Zorba after the 'Zorba the Greek' movie, but as there was a bar with that name not far from the site of their shop, the letters on the Zorba sign were rearranged to spell out Zara.
As well as the co-founder of Zara, she became known for voicing opposition to the Spanish conservative government's plans to change the country's abortion laws.
She also opposed government cutbacks in the name of austerity affecting Spain's cherished education and national health care programmes.
The Inditex Group today issued an statement on their website expressing its condolences.
It said: 'The Inditex is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Rosalia Mera.
'The Group wishes to send its sincere condolences to her loved ones and friends at this extremely difficult time, after the loss of a person who contributed so much to the origins and development of the Company.'

40 pythons discovered in motel room in Canada, where five children - including an infant - were staying
Forty ball pythons were discovered in a motel room in Brantford, Canada Thursday where five children including an infant were staying.
The python owners had rented a room for one night at the Bell City Motel after being evicted from their former residence.
Their landlord called police to inform them that the family had taken the pythons with them when they left. It is illegal to own pythons in Brantford and the motel has a strict no pets policy.
Motel nightmare: 40 pythons were discovered in a hotel room in Brantford, Canada
The family was out for dinner Thursday evening when police and representatives from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals arrived to confiscate the pets.
SPCA spokesman Brandon James said they found approximately 40 snakes ranging in size from 1 foot to 4.5 feet in very overcrowded conditions.
James told CBC News that in the 10 years he's worked in Brant County, he's never seen that many large snakes.
Evicted: The family who owned the pythons were recently evicted from their residence. Their landlord called police to tell them about the pythons, which are illegal to own in Brantford
Brantford police spokesman Sgt Cheney Venn said it appeared that the pythons were being kept for breeding purposes.
'They were not being suitably cared for and were in distress,' he told CNN.

Snake seizure: Authorities believe the snakes were being kept for breeding purposes
The seizure comes just weeks after two young boys sleeping in an apartment above a reptile store were strangled to death by an African rock python in Campbellton, New Brunswick.
The couple, who had five children in the room, are now being investigated by the Children's Aid Society of Brant, according to Sgt Venn
All of the snakes have been transfered to a reptile facility.
