50 Examples Of Petty Revenge That Show Why You Should Never Be An Asshole To Other People
346Kviews
Not every hurtful action deserves jail time. Or even a good ass whooping. Sometimes, a bad deed is pretty trivial and could even be forgotten. However, we humans are petty creatures and we're also vindictive creatures. So we improvise. We come up with detailed plans of vengeance and when everything is done, we even post stories of the sentencing we've carried out online. Bored Panda has collected some of the pettiest revenge stories, and they should prove that everyone should think twice before being an asshole to other people.

However, if you're seriously planning to take revenge on someone, you should ask yourself whether it will even make you feel better. It's one of those urges that we feel quite often but rarely discuss, says the director and owner of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Center, Karyn Hall, Ph.D.
Petty Revenge
"The struggle with revenge is centuries old," she wrote for Psychology Today. "Shakespeare said, 'If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?' Shakespeare clearly thought revenge was as normal and predictable as the sun rising."

"But what about the idea that revenge is self-destructive? Confucius said, 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.' Gandhi seemed to agree with him when he said, 'An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.'"

Hall mentioned that revenge seems to be one of the deepest instincts we have, highlighting that uncontrolled revenge, attack and counterattack, can be blinding and destroy the lives of all involved.
"Maybe the purpose of revenge is in preventing certain hostile actions or the threat of revenge ensures people do not hurt you in the future," she said. "But sometimes people act revengefully when no good can come of their actions, other than to inflict suffering on others. Those actions can go to unfathomable extremes. From lovers running over a beloved iPhone or destroying what their ex most values, to businessmen damaging the careers of those who have rejected them, to students opening fire in school hallways, revenge can be an act of anger, hurt and power."
So how to deal with the overwhelming impulse of seeking vengeance? Well, try to fight it for as long as possible. And eventually, it should subside. Analyzing an experiment by Kevin Carlsmith and his colleagues, Hall pointed out that the reason revenge increases anger rather than decreasing it is because of ruminations. "When people don't get revenge, they tend to trivialize the event by telling themselves that because they didn't act on their vengeful feelings, it wasn't a big deal. Then it's easier to forget it and move on. But when people do get revenge, they can no longer trivialize the situation. Instead, they go over and over it and feel worse."

I Skied Back To The Pole Again... To Take This Photo For All Those Men Who Commented “Make Me A Sandwich” On My Tedx Talk
ready to fly out to Union Glacier tomorrow morning (depending on weather). Then we skied over to the Ceremonial South Pole (probably the Pole that everyone knows as the only South Pole - the barbers Pole with the flags) and the actual Geographic South Pole (which moves around 10m each year), which is marked separately. In the afternoon we were given a tour of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. It is seriously as close to what a Base on another planet would be like than anything else on the planet - a mini-town based around the scientific work of the National Science Foundation. Tonight (it never gets dark this time of year) I skied back to the Pole again... to take this photo for all those men who commented “Make me a sandwich” on my TEDX Talk. I made you a sandwich (ham & cheese), now ski 37 days and 600km to the South Pole and you can eat it.

These kind of people just expect other people to do the work for them. Just set an alarm and go to the lectures and take your own damn notes instead of expecting other people to do it for you. I would send my notes to someone if they had a legit reason to be absent, like family issues or something, but not just because they're lazy

All you really did was pick them up for them and make it easier for them to throw them in the trash. Should have dumped them out on their front doormat.

That is a not much of a pothole... should see the one that took out two wheels on my husband's car.

I Mixed Carolina Reaper Powder Into Half A Tub Of Ice Cream As Revenge For Food Thief At My Community Freezer
So I transferred to this new college and been living on a pretty nice dorm. After I got settled in, I bought a small tub of ice cream. After eating my fill, I left the rest in the common freezer in the floor lounge. This dorm is only for sophomore and seniors and is not a frat house so I figured it would be okay. Few days later, the whole tub was gone. I was a bit pissed but passed it off as just bad luck. Next week, I bought another tub, this time making sure to write "do not eat" on the outside and a note on the inner side of the lid where I wrote "don't be a dick." Yet, just two days later, the ice cream was gone. I really got pissed this time. I seriously doubt anyone who can afford to go to a private college and live on a dorm for their sophomore/senior year has to steal another person's ice cream. So I sought out ways for revenge. First thought was to mix in laxatives but read that it could be considered poisoning someone. So my next thought was to mix crushed habanero and tested it out but it was masked out by the ice cream because it wasn't hot enough. So I looked into the hottest pepper I could find and got Carolina Reaper chili powder and did this.
If you put laxatives in your ice cream and someone happen to steal it, how can this be considered poisoning.? It's your ice cream, you do what you want with it.

Just a bit of advise on getting even with food stealers. You get your victims as you find them. For example. The person using rotten eggs to poison, their co-worker could (in some jurisdictions) be charged with a crime for poisoning someone, even if they did steal their food. Suppose they had a weak immune system or other ailment and died. The fact that they were stealing your food, isn't going to fly in court. It's about the intent. You don't respond to a crime, by commiting one yourself. I personally never put things in the company refrigerators. One, they are usually disgusting. I bring a cooler bag with ice packs, besides my desk.
Two wrongs don't make a right!
I know a girl who put laxatives in a cake on her last day working in a hospital. End result was mess for some ex-coworkers, police, court, non-custodial sentence and goodbye to career in healthcare.
Glad to hear she faced consequences. Some college kids in Boulder decided to serve pot brownies to their class and didn't tell anyone. The teacher and a few students went to the hospital after feeling dizzy, irregular heartbeat, etc. The offenders were charged and convicted, and expelled mid-term. CU even threatened to refund tuition for previous years and withhold those transcripts -- for which there is legal precedent. They would have had to begin their college years all over again with no hope of recovering other costs (rent/expenses, books, etc.).
Good! B*tch didn't belong in health care. Good thing they got rid of her before she did any more damage.
(1) Huge evidentiary burden. (2) Advice. (3) Vegemite
Which one had rotten eggs? I must have missed it.
I was a temp at a large corporation and a guy bought a sheet-cake-sized box of expensive petit fours and put it in the office refrigerator around noon. By the time he left, the box had been raided and he was furious. OF COURSE he shouldn't have securely taped the box shut and put a note on it with his name and to keep out, OF COURSE he shouldh't have wrapped the box and put a note on it to keep out. OF COURSE he shouldn't even have turned the box around so the opening was facing to the back. But it might have helped. I only brought a sandwich and yogurt, but I put my name on the bag and stapled it shut. Frequently my bag was moved around, but it was never opened.
