“Revenge is a dish best served cold” is a phrase that might seem like it’s absolutely overused, but it absolutely fits the sort of mindset needed to pull off revenge effectively. Acting in momentary anger is a surefire way to just end up doing something dumb and ultimately counterproductive.

I worked for a guy as a security guard for a DotCom company in 2000. He wouldn't pay overtime, demanded 60+ hour work weeks, and would call you in on your days off. I refused one time and he terminated me. I returned all my uniforms and he charged me $180 cleaning fees.
Out of a job, I talked to the building Facility manager about some of the shady s**t I saw him doing. He told me if I had my own security license and insurance he would terminate their contract and hire me. So that's what I did.
A few days later, I'm coming in the front door and security stops me. He tells me that I've been terminated and no longer allowed on the property. The building Facility Manager comes out and tells him I'm there on official business with them.
The following Monday, new contract in hand, I enter the front door of the property and relieved my former boss of his duties and escorted him off the property. I could see steam coming out of his ears. He was pissed.

I completely moved out when my now ex was on a fishing trip. Yes, I took my bed and my flatscreen that was in our bedroom. He came home late at night after driving 10 hours, to no bed. And most importantly, no more punching bag (me).

My wife and I went to a garage sale on a Saturday morning in Long Island New York. The woman and I began to speak. I needed a Power Blender, she had a Vitamix 500! The woman began to tell us that her husband who travels for business had a Girlfriend who accompanied him on some trips. She discovered this and when the husband departed for a business trip, she emptied the house of ALL his things. She had this sale: Golf clubs, suits and all clothing, his Cadillac convertible Car, Harley motorcycle and treasures he collected all his life. Other people entered the house to buy his furniture, Videos, CD's and equiptment. I paid FIVE DOLLARS for the vitamix!! My wife and she exchanged phone numbers.Ten days later, after he returned, we were contacted. She had Sold the house for $100,000 under value, moved out to a rental taking all her things. The house had new locks and the new owner, who paid cash, had a security company watch the house. That is what he had to deal with.

PART 2, I heard that he moved into a motel as his GF had another relationship and could not be housed at her place. he tried to speak with her at her work, but the Police were called and he was barred from speaking to her. After two months silence, our friend appeared at our house and told us of the divorce and she took him to cleaners. He lost his job when she told the corporation, blackballed from the industry. She came to celebrate and thus began a six month sex affair with us! She found work in another state and disappeared.

When i was leaving America to come home to Australia after finishing a 6 month overseas secondment, the other seconded who had been a back stabbing piece of s**t the entire time, was scheduled to fly back with me.
The night before our VERY early flight home, I took him out to drinks and got him wasted, checked into his flight, turned his phone alarm from AM to PM, put his phone on DND mode, and dropped him back at the hotel.
At 4am when in my cab to the airport, I casually called him about 60 times knowing he'd never see the calls, left him half a dozen voice emails, and took the most relaxing flight home.

School bully showed up my work once to turn in an application. It was a cool, higher paying job for teenagers. He asked me why I was there and I told him I worked there. His attitude changed and he begged me to put in a good word for him. I said “oh sure thing!” I walked in, went to my managers office and told him “so and so just applied. Please don’t hire him. He bullied myself and others relentlessly.” My manager crumpled up his app and threw it away.

Once, when I worked in a very competitive office, I noticed that a co-worker always took credit for my ideas. So I started sending him fake and meaningless proposals while he saved the good ones to present directly to our boss. Before long, his reputation plummeted and I was promoted. It was a calculating act, but I felt it was the only way to ensure my work was recognized ☺.

Ex Fiancee cheated on me with her boss. I was devastated. I really thought she was the one. I also knew that the company had a zero tolerance policy against that type thing between anyone and their direct manager. Spent a couple months "working things out" with her, until I had all the proof I needed. Emailed his boss, all other managers, HR, and corporate every condemning screenshot I had. They both ended up fired and I still have no regrets. He knew we were engaged, and finally offered her a promotion to get her to sleep with him, and I had a copy of that screenshot too.

I had an order at a roofing company worth around £4500. They accidentally ordered me the wrong soffit bends with two pieces arriving broken. I asked could I do a simple swap for the correct parts in store. The sales guy looked at the cracked pvc pieces and said:
“What do you expect me to do with these? No chance I can take these back”
I asked the guy to look up my account and he confirmed my name, address, and the total amount I had on order.
“Yup that’s me, cancel the order please” - I said.
The sales guy started being frantic and a blubbering mess as I waved the piece of broken pvc like a wand and said goodbye.
TL:DR - douchebag refused to swap a £2.50 piece of broken plastic (at their fault might I add) and lost £4500 worth of business.

WE had purchased a large retirement home after struggling at 70 plus hours weekly to accumulate wealth for thirty eight years, no sleep at 6 and 7 days. The H@@@ D@@@@ around the corner showed me a new kitchen. I explained that we want to put the exising cabinets into a new wash/laundery room in our basement. The woman told me the FIVE Granite Counter Tops and all cabinets were to be "Smashed and tossed" and "new ones will replace all". I told her NO. We wish to keep the cabinets and Granite for new construction. Cost was to be over $14,000, plus extras we wanted: floor and custom wall tiles. She refused and I told her she just lost a customer. MY contractor, 44 years in the business, and I went to another Cabinet Store, $7,600 for cabinets. He and two helpers rebuilt the kitchen in 6 days. We kept the granite and now have a beautiful Country Kitchen and complete washroom. Counter tops and an ironing station, floor tiles, a drain and an entertainment center with table and chairs.

Previous manager was a totally horrible person. I'll spare the details. She ran our team into the ground, then laid a bunch of us off, myself included, a year ago. Then she found another job 2 months later and left. I recently found out she started her own consulting company and announced it on a popular job social media site. What she failed to do was to secure the domain names and social media handles for the new business venture. I took every variation I could think of.

I ran a painting company in college and did a lot of work in my own neighborhood. After completing most of the job, the neighbor called me and refused to pay at all unless the price was dropped. I explained that the only person he would be hurting would be me as everyone else is still entitled to the money they worked for... The neighbor still demanded a price cut which resulted in me paying to do the job.
Shame he didn't get the color approved by the neighborhood HOA. One anonymous complaint later and the neighbor had to pay to repaint it.

HOA are horrible self-government scams and should be illegal. They remove the only vestige of freedom people had left, doing whatever they want with their own property. I live where HOA's are unheard of, and there is a full rainbow of homes, so they look like a bowl of candy in the snow. It's amazing.

I had a narcissistic mom who made my life total hell. And my dad let it slip to me that it meant a lot to her for us to go shopping together for my prom dress. I had a part time job and spent months saving thr money to buy everything myself from a thift store. This was circa 1997 when that wasn't typically done. Dressed up and went alone, and it was her first taste of being eliminated from my life due to her endless painful emotional manipulations throughout my childhood.

I was in stand up in the 80s and at a tryout at a famous SF comedy club I was heckled and harassed by a comic. Luckily Bobcat Goldthwaite came into the green room after and comforted me. But, 15 years later I’m a producer on a TV series and we’re casting for a recurring character. It was a big deal, a good paycheck and regular appearances on the show. I saw the comic’s name on the casting list for the next day. I told my bosses what he’d done to me and he was crossed off the list. This is why you shouldn’t f**k with people no matter where you are on the ladder. Be kind to those below you and help them, and be respectful of those above you. Because like me, you have no idea how much you or anyone else is capable of achieving. .

I had trashy loud redneck neighbors at a duplex who liked to let their dog s**t right next to my doorstep and not pick it up, one day my 4 year old son stepped in it and smeared it in the house. They were the upstairs duplex and I had the downstairs one with the backyard. Something in me snapped and I was just done with them.
I proceeded to gather my dogs pooper scooper, picked up ALL of the poop in my front (from their dog) and some from the back yard from my dog and promptly dropped it all on their front porch, with a note that said
"I see you are having some difficulty picking up after your dog and I thought I would help you out. You're welcome"
I then called the landlord and let him know that not only are they letting the dog s**t by my front door and not picking it up, the dog barked constantly, chewed up the blinds, and chewed up the carpet.
My landlord's reponse was...they have a dog?
Landlord dropped in and made them pay a pet deposit, and charged them a fee for replacing the carpet and the blinds. Cost was around $2,000.
I am someone who minds my own business and doesn't involve myself with others, and if they had simply walked another 30 or 40 feet to let their dog s**t elsewhere, I wouldn't have said anything. But trashy rednecks have no shame.

When my daughter was around 6 months old, nearing the end of the covid lockdowns, the worst neighbors moved above me. They would be partying until 3, 4, 5 in the morning. Blasting electronic music, chain smoking, obnoxiously drunk, etc.
Now, I had to get up at 6 am for work and obviously the ruckus kept myself and my baby up all night. Every night. I asked them a few times to please keep it down and explained the situation. It never worked. And then...one fateful day....I snapped.
I waited until about 1 or 2 hours after they'd gone to bed. Just in time for them to be hitting that nice, deep, drunken slumber. And then...I struck. As loud as I possibly good, I began blasting Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles."
But that wasnt all. Ooooohhhh no. The rage consumed me...and also probably hormones from all the breastfeeding. I needed to take it one step further.
So I grabbed a broom handle and began smacking the ceiling (this house was shoddy yall) all over. The bedroom. The bathroom. The kitchen. You get it.
At last I heard them waking. "Stop it!" They cried. "You dont like it when I do it, huh!?" I rebutted.
Everything fell silent. My hunger for revenge was satiated. We never spoke of the incident again. Anyways a month or two later some guy tried to break in and they came to help me so I'm glad they weren't the grudge holding type.

Had an upstairs neighbour that played Aerosmith's "Crazy" back-to-back over and over again. Like maybe 10 times in a row. It was maddening! We weren't chummy, so we put up with it (lasted almost one full summer, at least one day a week for three months). Good thing we didn't kick up a fuss. Him and his wife took off one night and the cops showed up (he was wanted for something else) to case the joint. Other neighbours called me to come and see what had been directly above my kid's bedroom. This loon's full martial arts studio with numerous illegal and deadly items. We saved one of his cats (turned out to be the best cat ever, Doc) and breathed a sigh of relief they were gone.

Once had a neighbor who lived in the building across from me. They were upstairs, I was downstairs, kinda diagonal from each. They would blast their music with the windows and doors open. It was so loud, I couldn't hear my TV! After several days of this, and asking them to turn in down, roomie had had enough. They worked nights. After checking with the other neighbors, he came up with a plan. He opened all the windows, set al SIX speakers in front of them facing outward, and began playing a "song" called "Experiments In Feedback" and then left for work. He had it set on some kind of timer to play over and over all day long. It shut off before we got home. Never had another problem with them. 😆

It wasn't planned, but when the opportunity arose, I took it.
In middle school, I was texting my crush and shared something personal. They then turned around and used it against me in a cruel way. Fast forward to my early 20s. We ran into each other and he asked me out on a date. I shot him down for what he did right in front of his friends.

I was brought in as a ringer for a masters swimming team between college seasons. I didn’t have much money, but they said it was cool as long as I worked to help people with their strokes and win at my events.
It worked, we took second in the state at the end of summer meet and the open water competition. The team dramatically improved.
After the season ended, I was planning to keep training with them for the last two weeks before school. The treasurer asked me for dues over the last few months… and the coach pressured me too. They both conveniently forgot our original deal after the team did so well.
So, I reached out to the state swimming leadership to tell them that I was getting benefits to swim. They DQ’d the team from the results. I also referred the IRS to audit the coach since he was being paid under the table for coaching and lessons. He got audited… maybe he shouldn’t have bragged about that.

A customer would come into my store and often deposited a candy bar wrapper into one of the shopping carts waiting in the entry like it was a garbage can. On many occasions he had told me how he was diabetic and only this specific errand for his wife so he could sneak his favorite candy bars. After he disappeared out of sight, I retrieved his garbage and waited. When I saw him approaching my register, I quickly dropped the wrapper in the shopping bag that I put the cans of dog food he was purchasing into. I hope he never looked in the bag and just went home and left it for his wife to put away so she would discover his sneaky snack. I do know it was several weeks before I saw him again.

When I was in the 5th grade, there was a kid who used to absolutely torment me. Not doing a full backstory but I was homeschooled prior to 5th grade and was a bit awkward. Anyway. He was terrible. And it wasn't just verbal, he would "pants" me often, punch me ("dead arm") give me "Indian burns" etc. Also weird s**t like getting his friends to pick me last in games in PE, and then mocking me for being last.
The last straw came when he and his friends grabbed me as I walked home from school and throwing me OVER A FENCE into a yard on the way home with a big dog. And yeah it did bite me.
Anyway this was the 80s so very "boys will be boys" from the adults in my life.
So. I plotted my revenge.
Whenever the bell rang after recess it was a huge mele of kids all running en masse full speed back to the classroom buildings. I made sure to be near him at the end of recess and when the bell rang I ran on the grass behind him. Waiting. Waiting for him to get to the blacktop.
As soon as he crossed onto the blacktop, I sped up, jumped, and came down right on his back with my knee driving him into the ground hard. HARD. It broke his arm, nose, busted both lips, and chipped one of his teeth.
I also skinned my (other) knee (not intentionally but it worked out well) and also asked for help. I went to the nurse, he went to the hospital, and "I'm sorry I tripped" was not questioned much. Kids fell down and got hurt during that big rush pretty often, which is what gave me the idea.
Idk if he knew I did it on purpose, but he never messed with me (or really even talked to me) ever again.
I did feel kind of bad as I didn't expect him to be injured that bad, but not too much. I did try to get adults to intervene more than once with no success. Law of the jungle, I guess.
I should add that in my adult life I'm absolutely the most nonviolent person you'd ever meet lol.

I was terribly bullied all 12 years at school by one boy. he was a major problem with others. In 12 grade, my pals were at a school party on A Saturday night, three day weekend. He and football team friends saw us, beat us and car chased us around the county. Next night, my parents were away, my violent friend came to me and we went to bully's house. We rode bikes and wore black. He had two sticks dynamite. We quietly opened the hood of his 67 Chevelle Street racer he built. Cut fuel line, and blew it up. Ten year reunion, he spoke to me about my revenge. I told him the past. He told me Dad grounded him until College, junked the car, did all maintanence at home, no friends/GF in house. The house had caught fire on outside. I win!!

Growing up I was heavily abused by my father, to the extent he tried to choke me to death when I was 15. In that moment I knew that if I fought back he would claim to the cops that I attacked him. He is a lying savant and still manipulated the situation so the cops thought I was being a petulant teen (they demanded I apologize to my father and 'never give them reason to come back'). He also painted me as the aggressor to my family so they all thought I was lying.
My father has a habit of skirting the law. Since I was in middle school I worked at his dental office. I've been keeping track of all the instances of tax fraud, labor law violations, fraudulent prescriptions, sending controled medication through the mail in a baggie (typical dad stuff), and more. I'm planning on reporting him.
The bastard tried to kill me and never saw justice. But he will.

There was a mean girl who bullied two of my good friends throughout high school. The three of them went to another school, so I’d met her but didn’t know her well at all.
I saw her a few years later working retail over uni winter break. She tried to greet me and talk about how we had friends in common (aka my friends she bullied for being “poor”). I acted like I didn’t know who she was and it really burned her. Her ego was such that ANYONE should remember her. I did, but pretended not to. Felt like the right kind of revenge for my friends.

One of my high school bullies came to me and apologized for what she did in science class... I remembered her, but she was the least of the bullies I dealt with. I told her I had purposefully forgotten all about her, and since all she wanted was "forgiveness" I said she could leave it at me forgetting, because I didn't need or want to forgive what I "forgot". She tried to be my friend, but as an adult I couldn't stand having to walk her a half mile to her house just because she was afraid of the dark (like actually scared because she had been grabbed and raped when she lived in another city). I did it a few times and then one night I said I couldnt do it. it was ridiculous. I know she got home safe on her last walk, because I called her, but she stopped asking to come by after that.

I got a coworker fired. We worked in a residential care setting for children with special needs. She was not good at her job nor did she have the temperament to work with the special needs population. I didn’t like her, she didn’t like me (granted, she didn’t like a lot of people), and we had a few verbal run-ins while on the same shift. So the first time she did something that broke a rule I normally would’ve let slide with anyone else…I reported her. Turns out, others had also complained about her, but my supervisor said that my official report, being the first and only formal one, was the final straw. They fired her the next day. I hate the thought of anyone losing their job, and I felt icky about being a big part of the process, but honestly, she made her own bed. Still, I felt a level of personal satisfaction because I just didn’t like her, and that’s the coldest I’ve ever acted/felt towards someone. .

I'm just glad she actually got fired. I work in a care home and had one partner (mid 50s lady) who I caught drinking on the job twice. Reported both times and filled out incident reports and nothing happened. Reported her for not doing proper care after confronting her personally multiple times. Also Reported her for having a screaming fit and kicking supplies when I asked her to simply do her job. Still not fired. One day she attacked a student verbally and physically and was finally fired.

Horrible mean school bus driver I had a s a kid turned out to be my "trainer" when I was hired to drive school busses as an adult. She would lie and cuss at me and call me names because I was a friend of her daughter and she thought she would get away with it. I went to file a complaint about her bullying and the office did their best to convince me not to. I asked how many people made official complaints and they said none, but everyone complained all the time about her. I insisted and then had to demand the paper, because I would NOT be Bullied. So she started lying about me even more and I decided along with half of the other drivers to never work there again when the schoolyear ended. All of their staff turnovers is because of her. I said get rid of her and I know 5 drivers who would love to come back. Apparently they can't fire her, because two new directors tried after the last ones quit because of her. She is unhirable if she ever does get fired because the whole city knows what she is like.

I had a great job in a BUSY Popular Pizzeria Ristorante, delivery and soda inventory. One long term driver had the two owners charmed. I complained constantly that "EDGAR" would take orders that had large tips and also when not his turn. I endured this for 3 1/2 years. He caused many drivers to quit. The bosses were off Sundays. End of July, a Sunday 12 years ago, I returned from delivery. I used bathroom to find he was just exiting the store with MY TWO orders. I quit after making a loud scene. The next day I was called in. I explained but they put me out. FIVE years later at another busy store, that boss terminated all over two months to 'change the crew'. I returned to Ristorante and was hired at my old schedule and higher pay. The Biker Boss told me EDGAR was caught doing what I quit over. He was terminated PLUS black balled. he had to go to another county to work. All industries have black lists. I retired from that store and Biker Boss nearly cried on my last night

Around 2013, my 6 year relationship ended abruptly after we sold the house and she locked up the profits we made. She was on my Sprint account back when you had the two year contracts on your phone and she had about 6 months left on her contract.
I called Sprint to cancel the contact and it was like $400 to end it 6 months earlier and after doing the math, it was cheaper to just pay the extra $50 for the next 6 months.
Her birthday is in October and at the end of September she said she was going to get her own line. I call Sprint and explain what's going on and the Sprint dude suggests I suspend her line, basically her phone number that she had for over 6 years contractually belonged to me.
On the early morning of her birthday, around 5 AM, I suspended her phone line. Her phone would be a paperweight and wouldn't even access WiFi for some reason. She woke up on her birthday with ZERO missed calls and ZERO texts wishing her a Happy Birthday. After a few hours I got a call from Sprint asking if I would release her phone number so she could attach it to her own new line.
NOPE!
She spent her birthday having to reach out to everyone telling them what happened. Happy birthday, dunce!

My wife is a lovely trusting woman, naive. A woman hairdresser convinced her to help get a phone on our account. I found out two years later, we had four phone lines.The woman did pay but not enough. I contacted verizon and cancelled her two lines. The husband called us. I went there. he is much stronger and taller than I am. He gave me a minute to explain why we cancelled his BUSINESS phone. Then he turned to his wife and grabbed her and yelled in Russian. We left. I called verizon and told them we were scammed. They gave US $600 per line that was cancelled when they tried to re-instate the phones.

When I was 17, I worked at Pizza Hut and was allowed to bring home meals. Every so often my sister would call and ask for a personal pan. I would find new ways to hide jalapenos in it whenever she was being a b***h. She started getting good and would search for it. Some days I did nothing to it and she'd still take it apart to make sure there wasn't a jalepeno in it. At one point I hid it INSIDE the crust. Unless she tore it apart she'd never find it.
We were 2 years apart in age and she was a little a*****e in HS so it was my best version of revenge.

My boss had a reputation for smashing keyboards and mice when he would get mad. So I bought a cheap wireless mouse and plugged the dongle into the back of his PC where no one would ever see it. I could look across the hall and kind of see when he was using the mouse, and I would just nudge the cursor enough that it would feel like there was something glitching. I got him to break another mouse that week.

I had a boss who had a reputation of throwing his mouse at the wall when he was frustrated, smashing it. He also was a man-child who liked to sit in a hot bath in evening, with his laptop on a board across the evening. The moisture would eventually ruin the laptop and it would have to be replaced. I have no idea why he was never fired (he also did other things such as lie on his timesheets, claiming overtime he never did, etc.).

Years ago in my old neighborhood, there was a horrible neighbor behind me. Total distance between our houses was roughly 50ft.
The husband travelled for work for months at a time. When he’d be back in town, he’d have a huge party every night until 3/4 am, regardless of the day of the week. He built a shed and converted it into a massive speakerbox for a huge sound system he had, and no amount of noise complaints would stop him. Cops would shut him down, he’d wait 20-30 minutes, then crank it back up.
He was drunk and loudly bragging one night about how he probably had the best stereo setup in the world for a private citizen, and boasted about spending over $20k on it from start to finish. I instantly knew I had to find a way to destroy it.
By pure chance, a few days later I learned about EMP devices. After reading up on them, to get one strong enough to fry the electronics it would cost me a little bit. I got a side job delivering pizzas at night and saved every tip until I could buy the one I wanted.
In early September, he had finally come home after being on the road for a while, and sure enough he threw a rowdy party. I waited until everyone had been drinking for a while, and once everyone was clear of the shed, I blasted that mfer. I don’t know what I was expecting, like not expecting an explosion or anything, but I expected something more than what happened. For a brief second, it sounded like loud feedback like when someone plugs a guitar into an amp that’s already on and cranked up. Just for a split second, then silence.
The rest of the night was spent with the guy drunk and confused, and repeatedly saying wtf? Eventually everyone left, and he spent several days trying to solve a problem that was impossible to solve.
It was hard to feel bad about it, because when I had politely talked to him about it a year prior about how my kids were little and had school, he didn’t give a s**t and told me to f**k off. Luckily, all the neighbors hated him and called the cops all the time, so his suspect list was a mile long.
Then the following year I definitely knew I had no reason to feel bad when I saw his mugshot on tv

Creating an EMP powerful enough to actually damage fairly simple electronics, and do so at any kind of range is not the sort of thing you fund from pizza delivery tips.

this story is sus but it does remind me of a somewhat simpler real incident. Aircraft carrier, worked in the power plants - long hours / shift work. So we kept our berthing area pretty quiet. At one point they shared some of our (empty) bunks with some folks from other divisions. This one guy was playing his "ghetto blaster" (boom box) kind of lout and was rude when we asked him to turn it down. One of the electricians got his Megger box (google it - but hand crank high voltage device) and goes to the circuit the boom box was plugged into. Gives it a number of cranks and the high voltage blows out the boom box. Calmly walks back past them and hears them talking.. "I don't know, it just stopped working!" LOL.

My kid was in pre-k and took a liking to a few classmates. Summer breaks rolls around and 2 of the kids invited my kid to their birthday parties. We went to both, got the kids nice gifts, i offered to help the parents with anything at the parties, etc everything seems groovy. Later on, new school year starts (2 year pre-k program) it's my kid's turn for their party and we invite a few kids including the ones my kid got invited to, parents rsvp yes. Party day comes, *none* of them show. One (allegedly) had covid so not much to do about that but the other two didnt even have the decency to lie, they were no call no show. Trashy c**t move imo.
Fast forward to the end of the most recent school year, it's pre-k graduation. My spouse who has a *really* good f*****g job brings our kid to the graduation as I had a previous commitment and couldn't go. One of the c**t moms are there, who works in the same field as my spouse. She asks if my spouse's company is hiring, spouse says probably as theyre typically always hiring, kid's mom says she will send my spouse her resume. She sent the resume, my spouse immediately deleted it. My spouse said "f**k her, we went to her kid's party and she made our kid sad on their birthday."
My SO and I are on the brink of divorce, but that right there assured me that regardless of our relationship status, I have faith we'll be able to healthily co-parent.

Why do some people insist on using such very specific terminology rather than just giving the ages of the children involved? Bad enough when so many posts refer to kids as nth grade as if we're all supposed to know what that means, but pre-k? I mean, I can take a wild guess, but why?

Maternelle. K is for kindergarten, which corresponds to the last year of maternelle, so pre-K would be one or both of the previous years. So 3 to 5 years old.

My ex boyfriend was cheating on me with a man. It wasn't the other man part. It was the cheating that miffed me the most, as he confessed in front of our entire gaming group and they all stopped talking to me.
The dumb m**o had the nerve to ask me to fix his resume for him so he could find a job.
I converted it so every single letter was in it's own table cell so it would be damn near impossible to edit, and in the footer wrote "I'm a cheater and I'm not trustworthy" in white.
He had a VERY hard time finding a job and had to live with mommy for several extra years.

I tell her that it was mine but she wouldn’t believe me. She complains to mum who tells me just to swap it out. My sister took my ice block, and Lo and behold, it was broken.

When I was young we used to get cereal with toys in it. I remember opening the box and the toy didn’t end up in my bowl. I thought maybe next bowl I’d get it. My brother came over and rooted in the cereal and took the toy. I knew better for next time but I was still annoyed at him. I got the princess unicorn stickers from another box of cereal and put them in his school bag so they’d fall out in front of his friends and they did.

A kinda mid- level guy on my team/ shift who been there for years was supposed to be my mentor/ trainer.
He would constantly have mood swings, harass me, say how he hates everyone in my previous department, have fits (scream and cuss at the top of his lungs) and then eventually started talking about me and my family behind my back. He would joke that everyone on his shift should be fired except him because he does all the work. He’s the guy that would start rumors about everyone including our managers/ bosses. In was the worst experience of my entire career.
I knew no one would believe me (except 1 other person who witnessed it and was also newer) because he had already been there 10 years. He also did weird stuff that I’m not going to get into.
So I started taking notes and every time he did something like this with exact dates and times. Pretty much building my case.
After 1 year I send a very professional email to my 2 top managers in the department.
They opened a whole case and corroborated the story with other people in the department he had been harassing. He ended up getting suspended for a week and warned if anything like this happens again he will be terminated.
Before you ask, yes I tried talking to him 1-1 several times. I tried every Avenue before writing that email.

Had a coworker that would leave her spot frequently to “go to the bathroom” aka go for a smoke break. We work on a conveyor belt so I had to keep picking up her slack. If I didn’t, then the belt would jam up. She would leave several times in a single shift every day and always came back smelling like ciggy smoke. One day she left and then the boss of the managers walked down the aisles to inspect the belts. I told her that the person next to me went out the door and had been gone for a while, so the boss went to look for her. Coworker came back immediately and apparently tried to hide behind a semi trailer in the yard.

In college, I was in a group with a guy who was being kind of a jerk to me. One day we were in kind of a study group and he got up to go to the bathroom. I saved what he'd been working on on his laptop and closed it, then opened a blank document and saved it as nearly the same thing ("biolgy paper" instead of "biology paper" or whatever), then sat back in my seat. When he came back I let him have about 45 seconds of pure panic before I couldn't take it, and told him what I'd done. He was a fan of pranks and liked to mess with his roommate, so he wasn't *too* mad at me. It felt good to stick it to him a bit. .

He'd sign up for free cruises, vacation property, Time Shares, religious s**t like the Book of Mormon, and the WatchTower and all kinds of stuff.

He paid for it and was still on good terms with the owner and just preferred to make it himself. One day he was back making his food and I dropped a couple wings on the floor, so, like any normal person, I threw them away and replaced them with fresh ones. He asked why I did that and said he used to always pick up food he dropped and served it. I told him that was f*****g gross and he just shrugged.

We had some people with really undisciplined, idiot kids coming over for a holiday and my younger brother's friend was also coming to that holiday so my father and my brother wanted to move my play station from my room (I always lock it during that holiday) to the room where all the kids go to play. We started arguing. No way am I going to let any idiot's undisciplined kid destroy my PS4. (Mind you, I was not some child hating moron, If it were only my brother and his friend I would've alowed it, since they're nice kids).
Then I started arguing with them. At one point, they said: "Like you have a say in it". BOOM I burst into outrage inside, but I keep control and so the plan starts. It's important to say this argument happened 2-3 days before the holiday.
The Plan: I waited for them to fall asleep, I get up at 2AM and unplug PS4's HDMI and power cables, I store them into my backpack. Knowing that I may change my mind or that they may force me somehow to reveal cable's location, I took them to school and gave them to my friend for safekeeping.
I felt like an evil genius, I couldn't wait for them to ask where the cables are. That day my brother didn't even notice anything but he told me how I was right about not moving the PS4. I was like meh, I was hoping for a "Checkmate you little b***h" moment...

A long time ago I was in a relationship, engaged, to someone who suffered a psychotic break. Over the course of six months they stepped out of our reality and into their own. I tried to keep things together, eventually realized I couldn't. Noticed the bad days outweighing the good days.
I realized she needed treatment, and she was absolutely refusing it. She had a habit of calling the police over imagined slights and I knew it was a matter of time before they hauled her off. I'd seen her scream at a handful of doctors already. I knew that it was putting the relationship at risk, but her health was more important.
I was able to keep up a lie for a little over a month, about her getting access to medication at the hospital, in order to get her in a room with a doctor there. It took a few minutes for her to be certified and committed to the psych ward.
She was there for a few weeks. Diagnosed and medicated.
Shortly after being released she broke up with me. Understandably.
We don't talk. I hope she kept up with her medication.

Every once in a while, think 4-5 months or so, I drive by their house and throw a handful of roofing tacks in their gravel driveway. I've been doing this for over 10 years, and chances are, I will continue gifting them the occasional flat tire until the end of their miserable f*****g lives.

My trashy paranoid schizophrenic neighbor thinks I hack his security cameras and "listen to him" and he is so convinced he put 3 cameras pointing directly into my backyard. These are not cameras that are slightly getting a little bit of my yard, they are literally directly pointing at only my yard. I spoke with the police who said if it's in an area like a yard that it's not illegal and I should put shades up. Since I have a big 10-12' gazebo we spent $6k having put in, I did take this advice and put curtains up. But what I also did was buy a $130 standing 30" shop fan from Harbor Freight to go back there as well. The fan blows the curtains in a way that constantly set his cameras off. So I started by running the fan here and there and that is divulged into putting the fan on an automatic timer that goes on at nighttime and shuts off during the day. Since he has extreme paranoia, this then evolved into me linking it to a motion sensor that I have pointed at his car so each time he moves his car (leaves) the fan also turns on constantly setting his cameras off as I know it would super freak him out. Since his cameras are solar, I can usually kill them by the morning time and he has to go out there every day and plug a big extension cord into them to get them charged up again. Just yesterday I left the fan on all day and the satisfaction of watching him angerly slam his ladder on the side of his house, climb up and rip his camera down because the battery is toast is very hilarious.

I think I saw something like this on "Nightmare Neighbors" and I can't imagine the stress it would cause me if my neighbors had cameras pointed at my yard - I mean, how do you fight that? It should be illegal. Mental illness aside, what if the guy was a perv? Can you file a civil suit?

My husband's uncle had schizophrenia and that is a very heartbreaking illness. His brain would deceive him into believing wild things. To mess with someone who has that particular mental illness is cruel. It only reinforces the idea that people are monitoring him and out to get him. Indeed, for shame.

And would that uncle be allowed to put cameras up that invades their neighbors privacy?

So you have a neighbour who suffers from severe mental illness and you spend your time, effort and money trying to make him even worse. Clever, really clever.

I guess it depends where you are, but it is 100% illegal to have cameras pointing into anyone else's property in Canada. Also, this sounds like bullying.. The person with the cameras it's mentally ill, show some decency and handle the situation like a human being instead of some trashy POS.

A person's assessment of their neighbors "mental illness" is not a clinical analysis. Some people are intrusive jerks, and by simply putting up a fan they get to have an evening unmonitored in their own personal yard is not cruel. Privacy should be respected, crazy neighbor or not. I mean what if they just had an energetic dog, would that still be cruel?

Mental illness needs to be monitored, not the neighbor. They had every right to privacy.

Not me, but a close friend of mine was getting bullied by his older brother in high school. Eventually he had enough and started plotting revenge. Old bro was super proud of his good looks and particularly his hair, so my bud quietly spiked his hair spray... with hydrogen peroxide. It took several weeks for the guy to clue in, because he used so many other products I guess he didn't notice his spray stopped working. His hair bleached and went patchy and he started wearing hats and combing it straight back. Soon the hair started falling out and my buddy was worried about getting busted so he replaced it with normal hair spray, but the damage was done - his brother's hair never grew back and he was really prematurely bald. To this day, my pal lives in fear that his bro will somehow find out...

Bullying leaves invisible scars, hydrogen peroxide leaves patches. This is what happens when the system doesn't protect victims.

Well, the brother (elder) definitely had it coming.

Did he also put glue around the inside of his friend's hat and make him think his house was haunted by hiding a talking parrot in the chimney?

Ummm. Hydrogen peroxide wouldn't cause permanent baldness. It would lighten his hair, but people use it for decades without balding. You are taking the shame for something you didn't do. I had a lightening shampoo I used for a few summers to no ill effects.

I cut in half the last part of cake at my job so I didn't have to clean the plate.

How is that revenge? Did they not offer you cake, or force you to clean dishes?
What do you think ?

When I was a law student, I was an intern at our County Prosecutor's Office. My sister was dating this guy who was an absolute loser. He was a jerk. He was rude, and he was always getting into trouble. I didn't want my sister with him, but she wouldn't leave him. One day I noticed that his name was on the docket for arraignment that day. He had been arrested for a relatively minor d**g charge. If we knew someone who was a defendant in a case, we were required to disclose that to the prosecutor, so I did. The prosecutor asked me what kind of guy he was, and I told him the truth - he was a jerk. He then asked me if I wanted him to "go easy" or "go hard" on the guy. I responded that I'd rather that he was out of my sister's life. The prosecutor said, "Got it." The guy ended up doing three years and never saw my sister again.

Landlord decided short notice to sell the house to friends when we had been told we could renew. Had planted a nice garden and put alot of work and money into it, asked the friends we knew if we'd be able to come by and pick the veggies, or at least come to the door and be given some, with them keeping what they wanted. We got a hard no, it's their garden now. Last night there, I mixed up bleach and vinegar in the watering can, and vengefully killed my babies. Got a text two weeks later with pictures asking what they could do to save the garden, they don't know what happened... Shrugged and told them I guess they just didn't have that green thumb like we did, they look lost. Told them they could try watering them with a sprinkler for at least two hours daily, as a sweet little last minute spike in their water bill 😈😈😈

I would have dug up the plants and taken them with me in pots. There's nobreason to leave them behind since the landlord probably used the garden you paid for as a selling point.

My ex was abusive as hell and one day I snapped and felt a darkness come over me. He would work away at fly-in camps for several weeks at a time; if you forgot something or needed something you didn’t bring, too bad. As he was getting ready to leave for work one time, I washed and folded his work laundry like the good little doormat I was, but before I packed his bag I took a tiny razor blade knife to each of his socks. It was completely unnoticeable when they were folded and probably even when he put them on, but surely each day ended with his toes sticking out of his socks. In a very labour-heavy, on-your-feet type job. I hope he was f*****g miserable.

My son was a member of a snooker team and was their top player for 2 years. Then the ar$€h○le joined the team and thought it would be really good fun to threaten, verbally abuse and mock my 20yo neurodivergent son until my son walked away from the team. I went into investigation mode about this man and found out multiple things about him such as his car licence number, the days of the week he attended the snooker club, how many pints he had and what time he drove home. One quick call to the police and he was arrested for drink driving, lost his licence, had to pay a huge fine AND attend an alcohol awareness course because apparently in court he insisted that 8 pints for him was like somebody else having a sip of lager. Hopefully he's learned on that course not to f**k with my son because I've destroyed his world once, I'll happily do it a second time.

When I started a new job doing overnight alone at a store with numbers in the name. Right on my third night just starting this guy came in looking for hot food and there was none. The previous shift hadn't put any so he's getting mad at me. Tells me he'll be in tomorrow and there better be some or I'll be in trouble. Well at first I thought this is new job and I don't want to f**k it up but then I thought about it and the next night before I started I threw out the hot food that was there and waited for him to come in. When he walked up and saw nothing available he had look on his face and I told him straight up I threw it all out so he couldn't get any and I'm going to do that every night he comes in just so he can't have any. He stormed out of the store and I thought I was going to in trouble but I also felt good, never saw the guy again and I never got fired.

We (my husband and me) had a very good friend to whom we lent some money, cca 10 months salary - nothing that can ruin us, but ... We made no writing about it bc. we were in good terms, he was like a brother to me.. He doesn´t to pay us back for 4 or so years, we don´t push him. One day I was on a conference in another city and I heard his voice.. I look for him and he hides before me. I feel so insulted and plan an act of revenge. I wrote a fictive letter for his boss togive him more money so he could pay his debt. I don´t send this to his boss, but send a copy to the friend with a PS - I will help you, I plan to send this letter to your boss. If you don´t like it, send me the money or a written term of your payment. He sends me the money tout-suit. But we lost a friend. Instruction - never lend money to your friends, you lose in both cases - you lose money or a friend.
