Revenge

[DrFaroohk]

If this is the wrong area, please feel free to move.


So anyway...y'all got any really good revenge stories? Revenge against a boss, revenge against an ex, someone who just screwed you over, etc...

"Living well" or "moving on" doesn't count. I'm looking for real dirty "I got him good" kinda stories!

Here's some of mine -

Had a druggie neighbor who kept harassing me, vandalizing my property, assaulting me, cops would do anything about it, so I started a rumor among some of his good friends that he was a police informant. I sold it pretty well, he had to leave town shortly after.

Similar to that one - my wife's ex kept giving me trouble, harassing phone calls, etc....so I told his new girlfriend that he was a child molester. She dumped him shortly afterwards.

I got basically screwed out of my job a while back, so I decided that all those little secrets I knew didn't have to stay secret anymore. In the process of reporting them to the department of labor, but unfortunately, they seem to want to talk to me in person, so in the meantime that one is on hold.

Let's hear it!

Just a pre-emptive warning (for everyone): Share what you feel comfortable with, but if there's the slightest possibility that your revenge was illegal, I'd advise against posting. We don't condone that here.

Also be prepared that people may not agree with your actions and are encouraged to debate the point.

That's cool. Bring on the bleeding hearts!

Mine doesn't really fit into the 'revenge' category, but still....

I went to a private natural therapies college. I had a particular distaste for the owners... the main owner used to run brothels, and had been named in a police corruption enquiry that we had up there as a person who used to supply prostitutes to various 'named' individuals (I also didn't like the way he leered at a friend of mine.. she wasn't particularly happy about it either). Also, he would get his girls to do a 'massage course' to give them a 'legitimate' qualification when they advertised for 'sensual massage'... all rather suss ..(note, I'm not against prostitution, I just don't like having recognised traditional therapies coming into disrepute for a fast buck!)

Anyway, I chose, later on, to do one of my subjects by correspondence. As I was going through the workbook, which was compiled by the college itself, and was reading through the prescribed texts, I noticed some 'similarities'.... 'similarities' meaning wholesale copy and pasting... including references to page numbers from the textbook, and also images, footnotes, etc etc. Yep... blatant copyright infringements (not just a few pages, but a few chapters, and over 140 pages worth).

I brought this to the attention of the dean of the college (the wife of the owner). Her eventual response was to have the whole workbook 'fixed'. 'Fixed' equalled - new cover page stating that all the contents of the workbook were entirely the intellectual property of the college. HA!

My revenge... naturally, I rang the publishing house of the author in this country and told them of this. I even sent them a copy of the latest workbook - the one with the new cover page. I also suggested that that wasn't the only workbook of theirs they had made which would have similar infringements.

(Unfortunately, I don't think the person I was communicating was any good at her job... I rang back months later to follow up, and it appears nothing had been done )

Not something I personally did; but I heard of this thru a workmate at my old job. This guy was at his office job during a really long, sweltering hot day in the middle of August. He came out afterwards to find the bonnet of his car was covered in yucky cheesy milk; his ex had poured full cream milk all over the bonnet of his car, and had written "Wanker" in fake snow on the doors. It cost him a fortune to get the car cleaned, and he also had to have it resprayed; when he took the fake snow off, it lifted off the paint. His crime? He'd left his wife for his secretary. Ex-wife didn't work at my old job, but her sister did.

Before anyone asks; yes, the law got involved. Yes, she got arrested and charged with criminal damage, but she just got community service. No, I do not approve; I would not do anything similar. Just that the OP asked for revenge stories, so I gave one.

My mom's mom permanently loaned me her old car when she bought a new one, since I had started driving and my family couldn't afford a third car. Besides, my grandma wanted me in a secondhand car that she knew the history of and could feel safe with me behind the wheel of. She kept the title in her own name so that she would pay the property tax and the insurance premiums. Then my mom's husband's car broke down, so he started driving my mom's car and my mom started driving my car. Then my mom filed for divorce, kicked the guy out of her house, and demanded the keys to her own car back. He left the house, only to drive away in my gramma's car, which apparently he thought was in my mom's name and thus a property of the marriage. My mom was pissed since 1) it was my grandma's car and 2) it's the car I was driving and that I would share with my siblings after they turned sixteen.

The lawyers were taking forever to file paperwork and prove possession and blah blah blah. A few weeks later, my mom found out which hotel he was staying in. So her brother drove her to the hotel where she found my grandma's car in the parking lot, unlocked it with my grandma's keys, and drove it back home. It wasn't theft, since the car's title was still in my grandma's name. Even if his claim was right and my grandma had given me the car instead of permanently loaning me the car, it would have been a gift to me, not to my mom. He ranted and raved but he didn't have a legal leg to stand on. The best part? In the back seat of the car my mom found receipts that helped support her claims in the divorce negotiations. If he hadn't stolen my car, my mom might not have found about some of his spending habits. This is really more of a "karma" story than a "revenge" story, since he brought it down on himself, but my mom was all too happy to make use of the ammunition he handed her.

My story is that of anger, jealousy, and stupidity of an ex-co-worker.

We began as friends in the workplace, my demeanor made me into his confidante, and advice-giver. My bluntness and bare faced honesty kept him from troube, when he listenened.

So, he stole a worthless girl, whom was dating her own first cousin, had left an engagement because the guy tried to help her out of bulemia, was on drugs, and has no fucking eyebrows. I have no idea why, but that pissed me off about her.

So, basically it was not a good start. I read her myspace page, watched her talk to him, and saw these subtle changes in him that were leading downward. I realized from her page how much I wouldn't get on well with her.

The smart, carefree-if mentally depressed- guy with a bright future began to turn into a shaky, openly sad, demeaning, and condescending jackass.

I stayed, and told him what I thought, but only when he asked. I was accused of Benedictism.

On and on, he stopped talking to me, until one day he was talking to chick about me. Chick wanted to meet me.

He drove her to my house, and she refused to talk to me, going so far as to interrupt my talking with her own to him, and say how stupid people in glasses look. Mm. That's fine. At this point, I could see how uneasy my ex-friend was, and went along with it.

We took a walk, and she began berrating him for random things, for an hour, when I suddenly grabbed her arm and shouted at her," Who the fuck do you think you are, you hapless, mishapen little whore? You have little to no self-esteem, are trying to control someone who genuinely wants to give and receive love, and are pissing me the fuck off. If you do not back off right now, I will throw you into a fucking ditch. He is not fat, stupid, ugly, or a moron! He does not fuck his cousin, did not do drugs until you started, and did not have financial debt until you attempted to bleed his little savings dry. SHUT. UP," and I threw her arm away from me. I walked back to my house, certain they wouldn't follow close, when I heard him," No, you're not the problem- stop crying! SHE is being the bitch! You're so perfect! etc."

I felt a little betrayal, but was willing to hold it in hoping he'd come to his senses.

She ended up cheating and cheating and bleeding him until he was nothing but skin, and left him for an underage gay-turned-straight boy going nowhere. My ex-friend was a shell, and I continuously tried to make things better for him, never denied his cry for help or a shoulder, at all.

One day, he got back with her.

She convinced him I broke them up.

He cornered me in the parking lot, and told me that I was a bitch, and my boyfriend was," a dumbass rock with a smile."

So, I decked his face as hard as I fucking could. I logged on WoW, and told my guildies (and their wives/hubbies) about it. They saw to it none of his alts or friends were ever going to raid or PvP in groups again. He changed servers (which was unfortunately for him, one of my alt servers, and my friends there did the same). Note I never asked them to do it, they just loved me =p

At work, he cussed and yelled all day long. So, instead of keeping quiet and coddling him, I reported him every damn time. He was put on thin ice and left from the pressure.

On damn Xbox live, my same WoW friends who knew of him and played with us, trashed his name and he left it.

He was dumped by her a THIRD time, and was deemed unloved by the local art community (which sucks for him, since he's a computer programmer/site designer).

I just have to say this...slandering someone with the lie of them being a sexual predator is more than a little shitty. Especially when you know it's a lie. If you can't match a suitable punishment to a crime, you don't have much of a crime to start with. And knowingly lying about something so incredibly damaging is not only irresponsible, but probably actionable. I'm just saying.

Lots of things are shitty, but I also effectively put an end to our little feud - haven't heard from him since. It's his own fault, he received fair warning. What part of "Raining down hell" was so hard for him to understand?

A group of us had one of the bullies fired... offically she was "promoted" but she was stripped of a full time job down to 15 hours a week, she was instructed she was NOT allowed to talk to the gallery attendants (my group) and that she was to pass on instructions to a new manager who would be hired to cover her other duties. We brought all three bullies to their knees when all 6 of us threated to file a law suit and then half of the other staff said they would back us.... 12 people out of 18 in a workplace against you in a court.... I wonder who will win.

The head bully got cancer the year after I left. I hate it when kind people get cancer, but as awful as it sounds, my first thought was "she deserves it" she was suchs a toxic bitch who made 17 peoples lives a living hell for years. If anyone deserves the cruel, slow death from cancer she does. I hope she rots in hell.

Actually, I'm thinking you haven't heard from him despite your accusations, not because of them. Does he know it was you who lied to his girlfriend?

If someone falsely accused me of something so heinous, I don't think I'd slink off muttering "Well, I guess he showed me." I'd probably sue. Your actions were far more likely to seriously escalate the situation than solve it. You were lucky.

I did spend a while looking over my shoulder, but even then I wouldn't have considered a good ass kicking to be a total loss, as he had a black belt in karate and last time I checked, that makes any assault charge he gets turn into a majorly serious crime. Assault with a deadly weapon maybe or something, I'm not a lawyer.

Anyway, I still think he deserved it. Maybe it was extreme, but it felt good and it was fun to do. I'd much rather do something to cleverly sabotage someone's life than to "beat him up" like I'm a six-year-old.

So, sabotaging someone isn't acting like a six-year old?

I'm sorry Faroohk, but I'm with RecoveringKinkoid. Labeling someone a child molestor was pretty damn low. I don't care how much of a jackass someone is, that is a potentially life ruining label to place on someone. As much as I believe in people getting theirs, that's going way too far.

A little betrayal? Seriously, I would have dumped both their candy asses on the spot. People who don't stand up for themselves are a risk to themselves, and to their friends.

Unholypet, you have the patience of a saint. And (assuming you are right-handed) the right-hook of Ali

[DrFaroohk]

Hey, when someone wrongs you, you must be prepared to retaliate one thousand fold. It's not my fault if they are unable to learn the lesson.
