30 Times People Concocted Such Perfect Petty Revenge They Just Had To Share It
Interview
You don't have to be an awful person to want revenge. Sometimes, a person might do you so dirty that you even derive some joy from getting back at them. Interestingly, people would much prefer to retaliate for wrongdoings sooner rather than later. "People prefer a 'hot-and-ready' form of revenge, instead of a cold, calculated and delayed approach to vengeance," Researcher David Chester, Ph.D., said.
One netizen wanted to know other people's stories of satisfying revenge. They asked: "What's a petty revenge you're gladly proud of?" And people shared all kinds of tales, from stealing Tupperware container lids from an ex to more serious pranks in the workplace. Read people's answers below!
Bored Panda got in touch with the Redditor who posed this question, u/Jimbobsausage. They kindly agreed to have a short chat with us about what prompted them to go to r/AskReddit and ask for some petty revenge stories. Read our conversation below!

Went to give a guy a 10% raise. He said that’s what you give a janitor. I told him great idea, so I rescinded the raise and walked over to the janitor and gave him the $ increase the other employee was set to receive ($10,000) annually.

I love this. Janitor gets a good raise, ungrateful guy gets a clean desk LOL

What would make it even better is if the janitor now makes more than the a*****e who looked the gift horse in the mouth (if they’re still there, that is, and didn’t quit in a huff)—-tbh, I bet the janitor deserved it more anyway, so, well done Boss, you have class (and I am not at all being sarcastic either).

Upper management often gives themselves 100% raises and more, directly or through bonuses and stock options. Which is why there is nothing left for a 10% raise for the people who actually do the work.

I would more than happy to receive a 10 percent increase when I was working. Before I retired if I figured it right, I only got a 2.5 percent increase on my last pay increase.
There's a personal story behind why the user u/Jimbobsausage decided to ask other Redditors for their petty revenge stories. "I felt that I've been done wrong by someone in the past and [devised] a plan to gain some revenge but chickened out." The Redditor wanted to read some stories from people who had something similar happen to them but did go through with their plan.
However, the netizen says they didn't expect this level of pettiness from other Redditors. "Most of the responses were way more petty than I expected," they added. Regarding their unfulfilled revenge story, the Redditor tells how they chose to leave it up to karma. "For me, to exact any type of revenge would mean that this person must've screwed me over to the point I [had] no choice. Thankfully, that urge is on the low of the spectrum. But I'm satisfied with life taking care of the revenge however that may [happen]."

When I was under age (15), we were allowed to sit in the legion and drink cheap cans of tenants and play our cds quietly. We kept out of trouble on the streets and the legion got an uplift on the bar takings so win win.
There was an old guy on the committee who didn’t like this arrangement and kept knocking the music off. This gentleman had a few gnomes in his garden, he was very proud so one evening I stole one of his gnomes and took it on holiday…..and every subsequent holiday since sending him a picture of his gnome in front of a beach / Grand Canyon / Eiffel Tower etc. It was a pain to take a camera on a lads holiday and take pictures of a gnome but it became tradition.
From what I heard, the guy was pissed at first but ended up finding the pictures hilarious and looked forward to them, he started keeping an album of them.
The gentleman has died now but what started out as a petty revenge act turned into something I never imagined, I returned the gnome for him to say his goodbye and now at the age of 43 I only have my kids for company on holidays.
I miss that gnome.

This is what I think it is but I might be mistaken. For me the legion (la légion) is an organisation for veterans so it's like a club for seniors. This is in Canada though and I have no idea if there's something like that elsewhere

Naw....Comcast is The. Worst! So bad they rebranded themselves as Xfinity to try and fool us into thinking it was a new company. I swear....if the next time I call them to tell them my internet is out, and they ask me "Is your modem plugged in? [then] Well reset your modem" (as if I didn't do that a number of times while praying to any god like a pagan so I wouldn't HAVE to call them), I'm gonna have an apoplexy and take out their nearest hub.
The Redditor tells Bored Panda that, generally, they try to avoid any kind of drama and situations where either they or someone else would want some petty revenge. "I try to be friendly to everyone and distance myself from those who are sketchy," they add. And to those who are contemplating whether or not to pursue revenge, the netizen says: "Choose peace and throw your anger to the universe. Whether or not that person gets their karma should not affect your peace anyway in the slightest."
As a fellow non-confrontational person, I have to say I agree with u/Jimbobsausage. However, that doesn't mean I can't admire the revenge plans these Redditors carried out and the never-ending creativity of the Internet. And how about you, Pandas? Have you ever gotten back at someone in style? Share your stories with us in the comments!

Stayed in an AirBnB in Lausanne for 3 months and when I got there it was absolutely filthy. Rotting bananas in the fridge, bins not emptied, layer of dust all over the place.
The agreement I had signed beforehand said to "leave the apartment as clean as it was when you arrived" so I went out of my way to stop cleaning the place two weeks before I departed, I made sure to fill up the bins and I even bought bananas to leave behind in the fridge.
When the guy gave me a bad rating I replied with before and after pics and wrote that I had merely fulfilled the agreement.

Why do people use this service instead of a hotel? All I read are horror stories, but people can't wait to keep jumping in the ocean and then complain it's all wet and salty.
Tina Lawson 1 year ago
Not picking a fight but we read about the horror stories cause bad news sells. So everyone who's ever had a bad experience on Airbnb tells the story and those stories get boosted. I've stayed in Airbnbs for years now and have never had a truly bad experience. Only "bad" ppace was in Chefchaouen, Morocco. But that was to be expected cause the city is old, hotels and airbnbs are old and don't have great amenities. But yeah, a lot of people have good experiences on Airbnb but people won't necessarily come online and start randomly bragging about the normal experience they just had at an Airbnb.

Over the years touring Europe, we’ve stayed in plenty of Airbnb’s. Out of around 15, only 3 were clean and “as described”. We stick to hotels now.

Some Airbnb hosts are clueless. I stayed in London last year with Airbnb. Unfortunately I had a terrible accident and had both arms in plaster. I had to beg the host to extend my stay as my partner and I prepared to return home to Australia so I could have surgery. He agreed, knowing the circumstances that my partner had to manage our luggage and me until we could get on a flight(s) home. The host then rated us as leaving the place "messy" even though the bed was stripped as requested and the dishwasher had a load go through. So I responded with "Well what is the cleaning fee supposed to cover?" Silence.

Back in high school, I was around 14 and sat very close to the classroom door.
One day, someone knocked, and I opened it without thinking. The art teacher got mad and told me not to do it again because she didn't give me permission to open the door, asking if I thought I was the doorman.
I was shocked because I didn't think it was a big deal.
Thirty minutes later, there was some knocking again. I waited for the teacher to tell me something, and she did—she told me to open the door. I simply replied, "I'm not a doorman; come and open the door yourself."
She sent me to the principal to get a reprimand, but I didn't get any.

I secretly leased an apartment, hired movers, and then packed everything I owned in about an hour and moved out of my emotionally and physically abusive b***h of a girlfriend's house while she was at work without her having any clue that I had been planning it for months. Let her come home to a house with half the stuff gone and no trace of me having ever lived there.
Ordhaj 1 year ago
I knew a woman in a similar situation. Her husband wouldn't work so she had to work two jobs to support them both. He became increasingly more abusive until one day he exploded and started breaking things. She realized she might be next. So, she did exactly that: she rented an apartment, planned everything with her friends and, the second he left the house, all the friends came over with boxes and, within 2 hours, everything she owned was gone. It was so well done that, when she met him in public to give back things taken in error, it all fit in a shoebox.

Lived in a four plex many moons ago, and there was a guy who always let his dog s**t on the parking strip right outside my window. I would ask him to bag it, and he would ignore and go along his merry way. This went on for months. Every day around 5.
Finally I could take it no longer. I left a plastic grocery bag by the door, and waited for walk time. Once I saw him and his giant dog approaching, I grabbed the bag and lurked at the corner of the building until the dog finished his business.
I quietly sneaked around the corner, and quickly grabbed the dog poo (with the bag, duh) and held onto it through the bag so the bag would stay open.
I hurried up until I was an arms length behind the man and said "here, I think you dropped this", moving my arm towards him.
He didn't look down until I had nearly handed it to him, and he was reaching for it already. He grabbed that poop and I walked quickly back to my place. He said nothing and walked away holding the poop. It felt soooo good. .

I was a teller at a credit union years ago. A customer came in and started barking orders, acting as though I was her assistant rather than just someone to take deposits. The whole time she name-dropped the credit union board members, the CEO in particular. I just kept my head down and took care of her transaction. As I finished, I told her I could tell the CEO she said hi if she wanted.
She smirked and said, "Oh, you know him, do you?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, I'll see him at dinner tonight. I'm dating his son."
She blanched, grabbed her stuff, and darted out the door. As I suspected, the CEO didn't even know who she was until I explained who the deposits were for.

When I was 7, my brother tried to play that age old prank on me where he offered me a soda that he had previously shaken up. Somehow, I felt that something was off and instantly guessed the real reason he was offering me that soda. Ah, intuition.
I accepted the soda and, when he wasn’t looking, did the ole switcharoo with his soda and mine. I drank from my new soda and watched him open the tampered one.
Mwahahahaha.

Years ago I lived in a six plex with my ex. There were three people (one man and two women) who recently moved in above us who all worked in the restaurant industry. Almost every weeknight they’d come home at 2:00am and proceed to BLAST their TV which was located above our bedroom. One night I finally had enough and went upstairs to knock on their door. The man answers and I proceed to ask him why his TV is so loud. He then informs me that it’s probably the SUBWOOFER. I ask him if he could turn it down and he responds with something along the lines of,
“Well, after a long shift we all like to wind down and watch a movie. Turning off the subwoofer would decrease the quality of the experience.”
I asked if he was serious and he just stared at me blankly. So I went back downstairs and informed my then gf of what happened and we devised a plan. All she had to do was take my dog to the office with her the next day. Little did the neighbours know that I had a full DJ setup ready to go with two KRK Rockit 5 monitors.
I woke up at 5:00am to take my dog out for his walk and get ready for work. I then proceeded to make a playlist full of the most annoying songs I knew and put them on a constant loop. Songs like Hamsterdance, Friday by Rebecca Black, Cotton Eyed Joe, Crazy Frog etc. I set everything up so all my gf had to do was hit play on her way out at 8:00am, which she did.
Never had to deal with the subwoofer again.

That was too kind to include more than one annoying song. Choose the most annoying and then just loop that. Or a Halloween sound effect track or something equally jarring.

In college, I had my own dorm room (I paid extra for this) and the room next to me would play rap music loudly until 4 am as they didn't have morning classes. I remember the school store had some old flat front speakers on clearance sound quality was c**p but I didn't care about quality, just that they would sit perfectly flush against the shared all with some duct tape. Queued up some WIlliam Shattner songs in iTunes, set the playlist to repeat, maxed out the volume and left for class. No more rap music late at night. Which was smart of them, if it happened again I had Nemoy's Bilbo Baggins ready to go

In one apartment complex, where you couldn't get past the security doors to knock on most people's doors even to ask them to keep it down, when I would get truly fed up with the noise, I'd put my speakers in the windows and blast King Diamond at top volume for a little while. Never did any good, though.

Diabolical. I was considering doing something like this to my neighbor, but didn't consider using the neighbor's address!

Now he bangs on the walls and piles dog dookie by my car door or smears it in places I might touch. So much energy when he could just leash his dog.

Not something I did but something I witnessed. Good friend of mine divorced her husband, after she kicked him out of the house, he came back one random night and dug up the all plants in her garden and took them with him. It was so labor intensive and petty that she wasn’t even mad. She just laughed and said she was so impressed she’d almost take him back if he’d put THAT amount of work into the marriage in the first place.

I had a supervisor once who repeatedly made comments towards me that made me feel uncomfortable. DMing me saying I'm beautiful and wanting to take pictures of me all the while in work meetings.
Eventually I told a colleague and found out I wasn't the only one, he'd been saying the same thing to multiple women at the company. We did more digging and found out that he had a history of this behaviour even at previous companies. We went to HR and he got let go.
Then I joined a new company and a month later he joined too. I found out that in between those jobs he'd harassed a receptionist to the point she openly cried and quit her job. So when I saw his name pop up I went straight to my current HR and told her what I'd experienced. He was immediately let go before he could repeat that behaviour.
From then on I've made it a personal mission to tell every woman in my industry about this guy. F**k him.

I work as a postman, and when I’ve finished delivering I have to take packages for people who weren’t home to the post office to hand in for collection. They’re small, local post office shops so I have to go in and take it to the counter with the public.
I went in once and went to the side of the counter to wait until they’d finished serving someone and then they get the machine I can scan to drop things off. It takes about ten seconds, and they can then go back to serving customers while I check them in.
This one woman was incensed that I’d ‘pushed in’ and even as the staff member was trying to explain it would just take a second and she’d be right with her, she loudly made a scene and insisted that she be served first, and that I had no right to push into the line in front of her. Also mentioned she was double parked and would get a ticket if she took too long. (Also f**k you if you do this. Park somewhere else and walk). The staff member shrugged at me and apologised and went to serve the woman.
The thing is, as it turned out the woman was coming to collect a package that I was dropping off. I heard her give the name and address and realised that I was holding it in my hands, but I allowed the staff member to go searching for it. She couldn’t find it of course, and it was actually earlier than the time I’d written for collection anyway, but the woman insisted she needed it today.
I let this go on for a good ten minutes before saying ‘oh, what was that name again, I think I have it here’. The staff member and I knew each other, she knew exactly what I’d done, and she was FINE with it.
Woman stormed out after that, then a minute or so later stuck her head back in and said she had a ticket and that we were going to have to pay it for it because it was our fault.
Yeah, we didn’t pay for that ticket.

I bought my grandparents house after grandma passed away. My moms brother and sister, and their spouses were all money grubby and were big mad I paid appraised value instead of the overinflated price they were hoping to get if they’d put the house on the market. Needless to say, tensions were high. During this time my bro was getting married and he still invited the aunts and uncles who were being jerks to me. I was in charge of sending wedding shower invites, the stamps I chose were a mix of animal pictures. People I liked got horses or bunnies or cats - the “family” got rats and snakes. Small, but made me feel a tiny bit better.

I used to put up signs that said "If I wash it, I'll take it home." I have like 8 mugs from an office I used to work at. The OM thought it was hysterical. She would come in see me washing a mug that had been in the sink for 3 days and ask if I was taking it home. I would say yes and she would complain. She said no one ever complained and if someone were to she would tell them to clean up after themselves.

We had a store manager everyone hated. He left his coffee mug behind when he was transferred to another state. Rang and asked for it yo be sent with the next lit of store mail( ' mail from store went to ho in a bag, sorted, and sent to other stores) the stockroom manager put it in a box, in bubblewrap, and before closing, dropped a hammer very hard ''accidentally ', then taped it up and shipped it.

My Dad was not particularly religious. But he befriended the local JW couple. Over the years, they knew each other by name. On their infrequent visits, it would be them in the living room, having a drink, and chatting for about an hour about this and that. This went on maybe 10 years or so. They never converted him. On the flip side, my sociopathic (diagnosed) old friend got sick of them and answered once with a knife in hand and nothing but a towel around his waist. As they kept talking, he just kept letting his towel slowly slip lower and lower until they finally just did an about face and left.

As soon as she left ft 10 of my buddies and I packed and moved 99% of her s**t out and took it to her mom's and put on her mom's porch and told her mom what was going on.
two other buddies were at the mall where the guitar store was waiting for her to go in. They took my car and brought it back home.
I put a post it note in like the 2nd or 3rd page of her music binder with a note. "I know you're sleeping with him, I don't care. Your stuff is at your mom's, You're probably going to need to find a ride there. Locks changed, garage code changed.. Good luck."

Was staying in a shared dorm at a hostel in my mid 20's. My roommates were a group of really inconsiderate people who'd talk at full volume at all odd hours even when it was very visible that I was sleeping. The morning I had to leave was immediately after a night on which they'd been partying and went to bed late. I set an alarm on my phone for 6am, with the most annoying tone I could find, locked it inside my locker in our room and went to an external bathroom for a nice long shower at 5:55am.
45 mins that thing rang at full volume in my locker before I returned, woke everyone up. I just had to apologize for "forgetting" to turn it off.

Unfortunately, people like that don't learn anything from this, they only find it annoying for themselves. And they certainly won't connect what happened to them, to you.

Your words are spot on. Reading OP’s story reminded me of one of my uni roommates who did pretty much the exact thing. She has a loud voice and would often bring in her friends or they themselves would casually walk in and have loud conversations. I get extremely pissed when the few hours of sleep I get as a busy student get disturbed cause I usually can’t fall back asleep so I’ve barked at them to tone it down or go outside several times. They’ll listen but soon repeat the same after a few days. This roommate also used to close doors extremely loudly and stomp loudly across the wooden floor (especially with boots). My other roomie & I decided to do the same to her when she was sleeping. She never stopped but had the audacity to complain about us being loud when we brought up an entirely different convo about the room.

A girl screamed at me in a public transport, truly for nothing - like some minor inconveneince. I was pregnant at a time, so it bothered me more than it would otherwise.
We took a few stops in the same train, after which I had to change the line, so I exit but continue waiting on that stop.
As it happens, the girl sits right next to the window that I am very close to from the outside, so I decide to play a game, just for the shits and giggles: I take out my phone and pretend to take a close-up of her face while she is staring at me. I was always told that I have this face of a mob wife or a resting b***h / evil queen face, so it didn't surprise me to see this pure horror on her face while I was "taking her photo". She starts to scream at me and stands up to either leave the train and beat me up, or to go sit somewhere else, but the veichle starts moving and I just smile and wave at her casually 😁
Of course I didn't take a photo, nor would I ever take a serious revenge on someone, but the fact that she was probably worried for a day pleased me.
Never make a pregnant lady mad.

A former employer (a small cafe) fired me for something that never happened and since their business broke so many health and safety rules (no hot water, dirty conditions etc) I decided to anonymously report the business to the council and got them closed down for weeks so that they could resolve the issues before reopening.
I didn’t get them closed down entirely sadly, but I love that I cost them so much money.

Mayor of the town was my neighbor, I had backyard chickens not hurting anyone... He got a law passed to make it illegal. So I bought wild turkeys (protected wild life in my area) raised them then at night would put feed on top of his car and teach them it was there.... Used to c**p all over it.
Also buried a barrel of rotting fish at the property line with a small vent covered by a plant...
And lately put a motion sensor sprinkler where some random guy from up the street walks his dog on my property to let it c**p first time it went off I died laughing.

Employee was complaining about getting spam. "Tons of spam!" IT can see everything. We were blocking thousands a week to her, she got... FOUR. Yes, just 4. She continued to b***h and then got the company owner involved. "Ok, I'll work on it." I turned off her spam filters completely. The flood began. Within hours I had company owner calling me. All I would say is that I'm working on it. This was a custom solution setup by me. It was 98% effective. I "worked on it" for this one user.... for 2 months! That's right, I let the flood into her inbox for 2 months. Each week she would plead to me to revert back to whatever was running before. But I just replied "You Said you got tons of spam and I don't want that again. I'll try something different this week." When I finally turned her filter back on, she never complained about 3-4 slipping thru again. I believe she was trying to blame the spam and IT on why she couldn't get her work done. Don't f**k with IT, we see everything.

At my old job I was a supervisor at a department store and we recently had a Sephora open inside the building. The policy was any Sephora returns have to go through Sephora we couldn't do it on our system without getting an error code. The Sephora was always severely understaffed and swamped with customers. One night I'm closing and I see a woman trying to get my attention. Instead of asking for help she walked up to me and started snapping her fingers in my face asking to return her makeup at the customer service counter because the Sephora line was too long. The snapping pissed me off so I told her to get in line and we'll take care of you. She waited 30 minutes in line to be told she had to wait again at Sephora and we couldn't process it for her. She had to wait for 45 extra minutes and then still couldn't do the return because it was past the return period. She ended up storming out and cussing out anyone she saw in uniform. I'll gladly help people, but once you start treating me like that I'm gonna make sure to waste your time any way possible.

Back when speed camera vans were common in the area I was living at the time I was running some errands one day and noticed the van on the side of a fairly busy road, situated on a bend so if you were northbound you likely wouldn’t notice it until you were in the curve. I had a bit of back-and-forth running around that I had to do and noticed it was still there an hour or so later when I passed it in the opposite direction. Later in the day I was still taking care of things and was headed north again on the same road. There was a real aggressive ahole in traffic this time, speeding when he could, weaving in the lanes to try to get ahead even though it was now rush hour and no real progress would be made, gunning his engine, etc. and I could see after a couple stoplights that this guy was peeved at the audacity all these other people had at having to be on the road the same time as him. He wound up at a stoplight next to me and one car behind, following someone that didn’t pull away at the green quite as fast as I did so he cut somebody off to get over to my lane. Now he’s tailgating me on the northbound stretch and I wondered if the speed trap was still set up. Because I’d gone a little quicker than the guy next to me, a gap started to open in the left lane but he’s still on my a*s because it hadn’t yet widened out to full car length. So as we started nearing the curve where I had seen the trap earlier, I speed up a little to increase the gap, then took my foot off the gas going into the turn. Mr. Aggro Driver did what I predicted he would and punched it to overtake me on the outside right as the camera van became visible. The pop of the flash when he passed the van did put a grin on my face.

The road in from my town goes from 45 to 35 at the top of a small hill right across from the state park. Occasionally a cop will be backed in there at the bottom of the hill. I saw him one day as I went into town and I knew he was still there when I came back 15 minutes later. Someone had been tailgating me all the way from town, although I had been doing 50, so at the top of the hill, I pulled over. I watched him accelerate down this hill and he must have passed the cop doing at least 60mph. He got pulled over and I waved as I went by. Smiled, too.
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
On a road I travel a lot, and therefore know all the hiding places, I cannot tell you how many times someone has been tailgating me, so close they were practically in my car’s trunk, as a way of bullying me to drive faster. I just continue on my way and let them pass me, and of course they usually give me the finger. It is always just so satisfying to see the blue lights up ahead and the a*****e sitting in their car, all sheepish and embarrassed at getting a whopper of a speeding ticket. I always just look right at them and laugh my a*s off as I pass them, driving exactly at the speed limit. Karma, I love ya.

Last year for my birthday, my mom said she would take me out to dinner anywhere I wanted. Cue to the actual day and she doesn't call or even text me, doesn't show up. Had the audacity to say "well, you didn't call or text me either". For reference, my mom's birthday is around mother's day each year. This time it was two days before. I wished her a happy birthday, and a happy mother's day. Asked her if I could come to her house sometime (last week) to celebrate. Of course she agreed. I didn't show up lol, and haven't heard from her since. I actually do feel bad about it, because I know she wasn't expecting it (whereas I know what to expect from her). I feel guilty, but I am proud that I stood up for myself this time and gave her a taste of her own medicine.

Told this story before, but got ultimate revenge on a s****y coworker. Background: this person was the classic backstabber. They’d hover around people at work and listen to what others were up to, then use that information to run to their boss and present it as their own. The boss wouldn’t know any better and they’d get promoted, only to have the same thing happen, but this time in the bosses circle. By the time the circle of colleagues caught on, he was already moving up again. Took credit for tons of s**t, pissed a lot of people off, but kept moving up: project manager, sr pm, manager, associate director, etc.. What I noticed: he was charismatic, able to listen to a lot of ideas and spin them as his own. But… didn’t actually understand the subject matter. So, when someone really high up left the company, I stepped in. At this point, he had entered my circle of colleagues and I knew what he was up to. So I dropped hints that moving up in our company was dangerous (because we had been bought out) and the new company was looking to chop that layer. I lied, saying that the person that left did so because he knew it was coming, and that set the stage. On top of that, I indirectly let him know that there was an opening in that other company. In short: I got him to leave our company, join the one where our former colleague went to. It was a position waaaay above our level, and above his head. I convinced him he could handle it and that if things went wrong to just rely on our former colleague. But, that former colleague was rehired by my new parent company, leaving him all alone in a job he couldn’t do. By that time, enough people caught on to him so he had no chance of ever coming back. He lasted a month in his new position before being thrown out, tried other companies, but he’d pissed off so many people at my place who had eventually went to others in our industry and spoiled his chances at all of them. He eventually switched industries dropped 5 levels and is trying the same s**t in another industry. lol f**k you melvin.

Condescending a*****e has to wear one shoe without a sock—-and will probably never ever make the connection between his a*****e attitude and the missing sock.

I was fired from a job when I exposed the new boss’s ineptitude. I asked for a reinstatement but was denied. So went to a group of attorneys that handled litigation for software companies. Told them how this company would buy a new copy of an application and install it on 400 workstations. And copy the manual, and train employees on these and acknowledge in class that everything was pirated. The owner is using company funds to pay for his mistress’s Lexus lease and her rent. He also was so cheap he tried to ration consumption of pencils. With my evidence, the attorneys sued and won $250k from the owner. That hurt him bad. My regret is he survived writing the check.

Finding an ex-bosses blackberry that got water damaged, taking a backup of it and keeping it just in case ..... this utter twat asked me to backup the CFO's unencrypted laptop to a server just to 'test' the connection, even though I said this was against company policy. I did it anyway after much persuasion from him. he then discovered that his mate was on the redundancy list that he grabbed from the OST file from the backup - he then informed HR that I gave him the list and I was promptly sacked, saving his mate from redundancy. I waited about 6 months then went through the backup - discovered his cocaine habit right down to what garden gnome his dealer leaves the stash under. I purchase a mobile phone with existing credit on ebay, take his address book, then text everyone in his address book about his cocaine problem, then destroy the sim.

I was seeing a woman a few years back who openly talked about hooking up with other men on a cruise she was on. I called her out for it and she later told me it was to “see how I’d react”. She told me I wasn’t good enough for her in bed, was too skinny for her (I’m 6’3, 195 lbs and in great shape), and that I “did things weird” like drink a pint of water in the morning and sleep with a neck pillow. I was a pretty insecure guy at the time. She had also just been cheated on after being with someone for 12 years and got shafted in her divorce, so maybe she had a reason to feel and act the way she did. I met another woman around the same time. A wonderful human, gorgeous, kind, smart, encouraging, and funny. She totally changed my life and my perception of women and relationships. I actually proposed to her tonight (she said yes). The previously aforementioned woman tried to play some more games with me by sending me a Snapchat of her dancing with some guy at a trashy club. I replied by sending her a picture of me kissing my now fiancée with the caption “hey, I like this one more…best of luck going forward!” I made sure she opened the picture, then never heard from her again. A year or two later we crossed paths again through mutual friends. Apparently she was still shaken by the whole ordeal, still talked about it with her friends, and had trouble dating because it. I thought I’d feel bad, but nah. Violence begets violence sometimes. Maybe she’ll treat the next guy better.

I used to be a cable guy back before everything went fully digital. Got a trouble call for a customer that only had internet service on her account saying her internet was out. I get there and find the modem is installed on a run that's split three times to TVs that they definitely weren't paying for. Normally, I don't care, but the problem was the drop line to the apartment was damaged in a way that I could get her back online by disconnecting the TVs (high upstream transmit), or she'd just be without service until the line was replaced (by a contract company that was notoriously behind). When I started to suggest disconnecting the TVs because I couldn't justify in the ticket running another 70' or so of cable through her apartment when she wasn't supposed to have TVs hooked up in the first place, she cussed me out and told me that a rep told her she gets free cable for life and that if I touched her service she'd have my a*s fired after she sued me for loss of service. Not the first time (probably even that day) I'd been threatened by a customer, so it didn't bother me. I told her that someone would contact her about replacing the drop and scheduling it soon. When I got back to my van, I'd parked right in front of the tap, and something in me just snapped. I took out a trap and tossed it on her drop. It only allowed the DOCSIS channels through, not the analog TV channels. Don't threaten someone that understands accounts and can see yours. Getting free service was a thing, but there were specific $0 rate codes for it that she very clearly didn't have. And then I had dispatch document the trap install just to make sure the contract company was forced to put it back on when they got there, and they'd get audited afterwards. Typically I gave absolutely zero shits about people stealing cable, most of the time those were the nicest people I encountered. This lady just felt the need to talk down to me and treat me like dirt.

My MIL is perpetually late. Wouldn't matter if it was dinner with the Pope. She'd be late. When my wife and I only had one car she would pick up our boys to watch them at her place a few days a week. We live 8 minutes away. She was supposed to pick them up at 8. Not once in 2 years did she get them on time. And I would be running late to work.
When we finally got a second vehicle I started dropping them off. I would get to her place 5min early everyday and she would still be in bed and come out in her PJs and end up staying there with the kids until she got dressed. She doesn't have boundaries and my wife and I have a very strict, "nobody's bedroom but yours" rule for our kids. (There is a lot more to this whole portion of it but that's another post for another day). Once she would get used to it and be awake and dressed I would change the time. 745, 740... Then I would go the other way and do 815/830. Then back and forth. I would be as close to late to work as I could be just to f**k with her.
It was so petty but it felt soooooo good.

I dunno... Kind of mixed feelings on this one. I mean, if the MIL is taking the kids multiple times a week, for free, to help the parents, maybe the OP can deal with some lateness, especially now that they're the one dropping the kids off, so they don't have to be late anymore.

After that 7th round I waited a full ten minutes to connect before I gave up and went snooping on my "recently played with" on PSN. He'd started playing For Honor instead. I messaged him with two words and two words only: "I'm sorry" The rage mail was delicious.

I'm torn about this one. I play WOW myself, just for fun. There are players who kill me again and again right after respawning, but I play my own game, not theirs. It's so easy to get into the mindset of those horrible players though.

I was a baby dwarf in WOW, happily getting eaten by a bunch of wolves. A super high level troll was going by, and stopped to save me. I bowed as low as a dwarf can bow.

My ex fiancée broke up with me 5 weeks after I’d quit my job and moved to another state to be with him. He was entering Ranger school in the army, where my dad has many friends in the training program. Dad told them what happened, and the f****r failed on the first day. You can never repeat the course. He now works in Tucson for the Secret Service’s counterfeit money division and hates it.

Am I right in assuming that he was made to fail on the first day through OP's father's connections in the Rangers? Would have been nice to fail him on the second or third day, just as he was starting to believe he had a good shot at making it.
Lost Penny 1 year ago
So he failed not because he wasn't qualified, but because your father bitched about everything to his friends? Also, would you prefer your ex not breaking up with you but cheating on and lying to you instead? This is not even petty revenge, this is just disgusting.

Why did he break up? Would you rather stay unhappy together? Too little info.

I think the kicker here is that she uprooted her whole life and moved to a whole other state before he broke up with her. She might not have been so offended if he had left her with her job friends and family, it would have been bad, but not this bad.

Hooking up with an ex who cheated on me and telling her fiancé who she cheated on me with about it.

This sounds kind of stupid isn't it? The ex is still benefitting from her unacceptable behaviour.

I worked in an office with a woman who was always needlessly unpleasant with me. It was a financial services company, and there was a long hall of huge file cabinets, very tall, and each one probably weighed 500 pounds full. So when I left, I took a few files that were central to a few of the major accounts she was working on and dropped them behind the file cabinets. There would be no way to see them, and even if you knew they were there, you'd need a crew of burly guys to move the cabinet out to retrieve them. After I left, I got a few frantic emails asking if I knew where these files were. Nope.

That’s too permanent, tbh. I would’ve simply misfiled them in accounts with similar names (like put William Jones’ files in Ralph Williams’ file, etc), so she could eventually find them, but she’d have to spend a lot of time and effort at it, going through every single filing cabinet.

I had a coworker late 90's/early 2000s who knew better than to start any kind of prank war with me... but eventually just couldn't resist the urge. He happened across some unflattering yearbook photos of me, and thought it would be funny to make them the desktop wallpapers for several computers in our department. Using a keystroke recorder, I got all of his passwords for his various online accounts, including his personal email, which led me to his adult friend finder account. Every Friday for almost a year, I'd change his adult friend finder profile from straight to gay, and add a bunch of interests like group sex, submission, diaper fetishes, etc.... then change his password. Owning his email as well, I made sure to delete any notices he got regarding password changes. Monday morning, I'd change his profile and password back to normal. He'd complain that he was locked out of a "personal ads" account, which for some reason, was receiving dozens of "unsolicited" d**k pics, invitations, vaguely threatening fantasies, and unsettling photo requests. To this day, he has no idea... but he definitely has a strong opinion that personals sites don't work.

My ex used a key logger/screenshotter and then signed into my (very popular) fanfic writing account and deleted everything I’d spent years on. Was reading my personal emails where I was trying to ask for advice on how to fix my marriage with very close friends. Stalked me so hard and long that he lost his IT job then proceeded to do jack all for months while the abuse continued. Finally I left him on, ironically, Independence Day, after I realized he was starting to harm my 6mo puppy.

My ex-wife ABRUPTLY wanted a divorce. She (unbeknownst to me) drew up a totally uncontested divorce contract. In it, she forgot to ask for her half of the bill for windows we had upgraded. I held up the contract and asked her (in the notary parking lot) if this is really what she wanted. She said yes. She wasn't happy when she realized it.

There was a guy in my college freshman year in my friend group who would always roast me. He was a gamer so I got him into WoW. I have high levels on both factions so I would play on the same faction he was to help him level. I told him to turn war mode on for more experience (pvp mode). Then I’d tell him I had to run to the bank real quick, and then switch to the opposite faction max level toon. I’d find his location then gank him until he got mad, then told him I’d find the guy who was doing this and switch back to the other toon. I’d feign a little hunt for the other guy (myself) and told him I scared him off. I’d do this at a rate that he didn’t rage quit but enough to p**s him off, I’d ease up at times so he wouldn’t get too mad, but I’d do it our entire time leveling. He never caught on.

I worked at a local restaurant with a guy who I adored but could be a real POS when he was mad or just having a bad day and he often would take it out on me. Normally I would be able to handle it and I would try and help him out so he’d come out of it but some days I wasn’t in a great mood and would get overwhelmed and pissed off when he’d start at me. I plated desserts and during lunch we got a dessert call. It happened to be a day I wasn’t in the mood for his s**t and happened to be in the walk in, he opened the door and said the dessert order then closed the door. I didn’t acknowledge I even heard it so quite a few minutes go by and our chef asked me if I have even started desserts and I said what desserts? No one told me? He ended up getting RIPPED apart for it for it and I continued on with a grin on my face. It was very satisfying.

Or you could've told him to knock that s**t off the first time he took it out on you...? Just a thought.

Just another way that "ignoring" the bully by not acknowledging what he said.

When I was a freshman in high school we had a typing class. There was a guy named Tom that I had a lot of classes with and for some reason always bullied me a lot. He always arrived late to typing class because his previous class was across the school. We had a user account to access the school computers. The user names were fairly easy to guess. It was the first 5 letters of your last name, and first two if your first, plus your graduating year. For example: CritiDu.1900 One day he was late for class, and so I decided to lock his account out by guessing his user name and spamming the wrong password. A fellow student asked what I was doing and joined in. After about 50 attempts the account was locked out. He showed up to class and couldn't log in. The teacher for the typing class already had a running annoyance with this student, and demanded his demerit card. (Catholic school) In our school, 5 demerits was a detention, and if you lose your card or failed to present it, that was an automatic detention. (Had to be turned in at the end of the semester too) The teacher held the card until the end of class and didn't give Tom a demerit, but he threw the card out the window from the second floor. It was the end of the day, so we had to wait for announcements. The teacher excused him to go and look for his card. He never found it. I don't know if he got an automatic detention or not.

I once had a cabinmate on a cruise who was secretly cheating on her boyfriend back home. We were friends before, but I started to distance myself because she was interested in a lot of guys. One time, I caught her cuddling with a guy on the upper deck of our bed. Since I worked the night shift and she worked during the day, I wanted to make sure they wouldn’t use my bed for sex. So, I placed ten needles on my bed as a subtle form of revenge. Later, I saw blood on my bedsheet, and I couldn't help but feel a bit satisfied, now she has 2 kids with the same guy! happy ending indeed.

They wouldn’t have gotten hurt at all if she’d just used her own bed instead of OP’s. How disrespectful and downright gross and disgusting of her.

When I was a bartender if people didn’t tip the next time they came to the bar I would make sure to put their change down in a puddle of sticky grenadine that just happened to be there.
Lame Llama 1 year ago
Tipping bartenders is a fraud. I have once sat at a bar in NYC and noticed that the bartender was making more than me per hour for handing out drinks. The cheek to ask for 20% for handing me my drinks. This whole tipping culture is plain fraudulent.
Laserleader 1 year ago (edited)
This is why tipping should have never been institutionalized. They didn't tip so I'm going to PUNISH them? For obeying all laws and rules, but not paying more than what is required, somone will purposefully become a cruel individual and feel justified somehow? And as a consumer it creates fear, horrible fear about who to tip to ensure they don't purposefully attack you.

And not on purpose, I did one when I separated. I worked really hard stuff and other things that he needed to take care of the kids. I bought a lot of new stuff for myself to take care of the kids even though he made more money. But when I was packing the consumable backstop I took everything he never used. Which meant ALL of the cleaning supplies. Ten years later it still makes me giggle.

Winona judd wrote a song called "that was yesterday". A woman wrote her a letter saying when she left her abusive husband, she packed up while he was gone and the only thing of hers he came home to was that song playing on repeat.

I'm a teacher and when my daughters bully walked in I took a deep breath and pretended i had no idea who she was even though she'd been to my house multiple time before she decided she was too cool to hang out with my daughter (she also turned many old "friends" away from her). My petty revenge was spelling her name differently every time we communicated and since the course was online it happened often. Good luck in your future Hana, Hanna, Hannah, Hanah, Haughnah
