  • This typical female revenge legend, describing a woman's effective (but non-violent) way of striking back at her (former) partner, has been around since at least 1981. Legends such as these (see The $50 Porsche, for example) often feature a clever method of causing financial loss without the destruction of property: Examples: Variations: Sightings: An episode of the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses (The Second Time Around, original air date 29 September 1981) features the evicted woman leaving a note announcing she's dialed the speaking clock in America.
