When you're on dating apps, you can expect to deal with some pretty rude people sometimes. There are people out there who can be really offensive and hurt your feelings, while the whole time (paradoxically) trying to ask you out on a date.

But there's somebody out there who's decided that she's not going to stand for it any longer, and her brutal revenge tactics have ended up going viral, after she got her own back on a dating app user who insulted her intelligence.

Katie Pfeffer, who hails from Denver in Colorado, took to Twitter to post a screengrab she'd taken an exchange she'd had on the dating app Hinge: in which a man named Lake who she'd matched with asked her: "Are you one of those hot girls that's just plain retarded? Bc your bio makes it look that way. [sic]"

Offended by his remark, she decided to respond by tracking down Lake's dad to give him an earful about his attitude to women. Katie tweeted: "found this guy’s dads insta in 5 minutes, never underestimate a girl’s investigation skills [sic]"

She also included a screenshot of the message she'd sent to his dad, which read: "So sorry for the random message. Just thought you should know this is how your son speaks to women. [sic]"

But even that wasn't enough to fully sate Katie's hunger for vengeance. She also managed to find out where the guy worked, and sent his employers a message.

Tagging his workplace's official Twitter account, She wrote: "@GeneralMills since posting this I’ve had four girls message me saying this man is abusive, manipulative and racist. I also found out he works as an intern for your company. If you’d like to know more please dm me."

So the moral of the story is this: watch what you say on dating apps, and try to be polite with the people you interact with. Otherwise, you could end up being publicly busted.
