- [Narrator] Hey, what's that noise? Is that the sound of someone
suffering from revenge? Oh, but not just any old revenge. That's the sound of a man suffering from some well executed
passive aggressive revenge. I'm talking posting fish-through-your-ex's-letterbox-every-single-day level revenge. Or collecting-dog-poop-for-weeks- and-throwing-it-over-your-annoying-neighbor's-yard level revenge. Jeez! So yeah, strap in 'cause
we're about to check out even more awesomely
passive aggressive ways people got revenge. (bright upbeat music) "Don't Mess with Mark." Back in the hazy days of February 2011, college student and entrepreneur Mark Bao realized his expensive MacBook Air had been stolen from his
dorm's communal area. With no culprits, he resigned
himself to buying a new one. However, being a bit of a tech whiz, Mark had installed a
program on his old computer that automatically uploaded
all its files to the cloud. So, a few weeks later, when he logged onto this
program with his new laptop, he discovered that whoever
had stolen his old MacBook was using it, and all their files had been
backed up for Mark to see. He found the thief's name on one of them and immediately reported
him to the police. But then something else caught Mark's eye. Tucked away in the
media folder was a video of what appeared to be someone dancing. Mark clicked on it, and was astonished. It was the thief. (playful music) Oh boy. Those are some moves for sure. Seeing a golden opportunity, Mark downloaded the video,
logged onto YouTube, and uploaded it with the title "Don't steal computers
belonging to people who know how to use computers." Reddit quickly picked up the video, and within hours, it
had thousands of views. Shortly afterwards, the thief
handed the stolen laptop into campus police and messaged Mark, apologizing and begging
him to take the video down. Well, Mark wasn't very sympathetic, and you can still view all one
minute and 32 seconds of it on YouTube today, which has been viewed more
than 2.5 million times. Let's have one last look. (playful music) Some real, (laughs)
real smooth moves there. "Smokers R Jokers." I'm not a judgemental guy. I once met someone who loved peanut butter and sardine sandwiches, and we're still friends, but that's because he doesn't force his culinary monstrosity onto me. Unfortunately, Reddit user Intrepid_Ad once had a very different experience. He lived in an apartment block and his downstairs neighbors would hang around on their
balcony and smoke all night, which would've been fine if
the smoke didn't drift up into Intrepid's ventilation system and stink out his entire apartment. At first, Intrepid politely asked them to use the building's
designated smoking area instead. But after weeks of them ignoring him, he decided to take matters
into his own hands, by purchasing a giant water gun. That night, Intrepid
waited in his apartment until it was dark. Sure enough, the familiar
rancid smell of smoke came drifting in. But this time, Intrepid was prepared. He quietly tip-toed out
onto his own balcony, aimed the water gun down
at the smokers below, and unleashed ice-cold
liquid vengeance on them. Immediately, the group started screaming, dropping their cigarettes in panic. Intrepid darted back into his apartment, stifling his laughter. The next day, he saw them
stood outside the building and cheerfully said hi. Lo and behold, none of
them echoed his cheeriness. In fact, they started accusing him! But Intrepid just denied the accusations, asked if they were sure it wasn't raining, and went on his way. Ha! Don't you think of going anywhere though, other than down to those Like and Subscribe buttons of course! That way, you'll never miss
another part of this series, or any of my other videos for that matter. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, more revenge. "Little Person, Big Revenge." No matter what shape or size you are, everybody should be treated equally. That being said, it doesn't always happen. Reddit user Windmillto
is a man with dwarfism, a genetic condition
resulting in short stature. So, when he's out in public, he'll sometimes draw attention, mostly from inquisitive children. Usually, their parents will awkwardly drag them
away and reprimand them, which Windmillto understands, even if it saddens him a little. But one day, as he was
walking down the sidewalk, he passed a mom and her young child. The kid was throwing a
tantrum over something. So far, so normal. However, Windmillto suddenly realized she'd started pointing at him. Unbelievably, she was telling her child that he was one of Santa's elves and that he was watching them. If they didn't behave,
he'd tell Santa on them, and they wouldn't get
any gifts for Christmas. Well, one thing was true,
Windmillto was watching, and he wasn't happy. One of Santa's elves? Suppressing the anger,
he was about to move on when he noticed the kid's name on a keyring on their backpack and a devious plan sprang to mind. He walked over to the
crying kid, smiled, and said "It's okay, Hunter, you're
already on the nice list. Santa's getting you an
iPad for Christmas." Just like that, Hunter's tantrum ended. His mom, on the other hand, looked like she was about to throw one. "The Pecking Order." When you're on vacation,
there's nothing better than chilling on the beach, especially if you've got
the whole place to yourself. But what if, just as
you were settling down, a couple turned up and
sat right in front of you. I mean, sure, they're not
technically doing anything wrong. But come on, there's a
whole beach right there! Well, TikTok user
madison3gooch and her family were put in this exact
situation in the summer of 2022. Their response? Take a look: Okay, but what's throwing a handful of chips behind
them gonna achieve? Turns out, a lot. Almost immediately, a
flock of ravenous birds descended on the obtrusive couple and went to town on those potato chips. The couple quickly moved, and Madison's family got
their personal space back. Genius! Though I can't help but
feel if I'd have tried this, I'd have been caught straightaway and attacked with a plastic
shovel or something. "Kickin' the Bucket." From school through to
working a nine-to-five the people we have to
spend every weekday with are often the same ones we'd avoid if we saw them in the street. Reddit user Ok_Present_6508
knows this all too well. He's a construction worker, and on his lunch break, he
sits with his co-workers outside in the foreman's hut. He always used to use the
same bucket for his seat, only, one day, one of his co-workers decided it'd be really funny to kick the bucket as hard as they could just before he sat down. It flew across the room and our guy had to traipse over and pick it back up, much to the hilarity of everybody else. The first couple of times it
happened, okay, found it funny. But after the seventh
time, he'd had enough. So while he was on his own,
Ok took his usual bucket, cut out the bottom, and
placed it back on the floor. Then he filled it to the
brim with nuts and bolts, put the lid back on,
and went back to work. Later that day, everybody
went to lunch as usual. And, as usual, Annoying Bucket Kicker went to do what he does best. Except this time, his foot
collided with the bucket and a loud crunch made
him leap back, startled. Annoyed that he'd failed at
kicking it across the room, Bucket Kicker picked it up
to launch it with his arms, but as soon as he did,
all the nuts and bolts came pouring out all over the floor. It was an absolute mess. Ok smirked, pulled out a
camping chair he'd brought in and said, "Gonna tidy that up?" This time, everybody was laughing apart from Annoying Bucket Kicker. Now think about this. What do you do when you're

the situation Redditor love_to_read_5000's grandpa
found himself in some time ago. Ol' Gramps had caught the
dog in the act multiple times and every time he'd gone outside and yelled at the owner to control it. Yet, it happened again,
and again, and again. Until one day, Grandpa stopped
going outside and yelling. Instead, he started going
out after the dog had left and picking up the brown
butt-nuggets himself. You might think he'd
given up then, but oh no. He'd far from given up. After about a month, his
granddaughter was nearby when she noticed her grandpa carrying a five-gallon paint
bucket across the street towards his neighbor, who was
just taking his dog outside. When Gramps got there, he stopped on his neighbor's yard, stared him dead in the eyes, and tipped out the contents of the bucket. His neighbor gasped
and recoiled in horror. It was poop. But not just any old poop, the same poop the neighbor's dog had been leaving in his
yard for the last month. And you can bet it stank. Funnily enough, his granddaughter never saw any poop on her
grandpa's lawn again after that. "Chair-mander." Pokémon, it's a card game,
a TV show, a video game, pretty much an empire at this point. Why? Because it has a legion of fans so loyal, they'll do anything to
keep on catching 'em all. And I do mean anything. One kid found this out
the hard way back in 2017. His two older brothers
were sat in the living room laying their collections
of cards out on the floor and comparing them. However, the younger sibling was more interested in grabbing the cards and throwing them around the
room than the game itself. Now, what did I tell
you about Pokémon fans? Yeah, they're ruthless. And understandably, these
ones didn't take kindly to having their fun ruined. So their response was
to, well, take a look. Yep, they duct taped
their brother to a chair. Well, I don't reckon he messed with his siblings' cards
ever again after that. "Dented Marriage." When you're a kid,
there's nothing more fun than going over to your
friend's house for a play date, unless, of course, they
have parents from hell. This was exactly the
situation single mom Siso realized her daughter was in back in 2022. Siso had never liked either of her daughter's friend's parents. The dad, Mike, seemed sleazy, and the mom, Sharon, was
judgemental, arrogant, and rude. But her daughter got on well with theirs, so she let her go round for play dates. That is, until, one day,
her daughter came home from her latest play date crying. She was a picky eater, and apparently Sharon had told her off for bringing her own food that day. Not only that, but she'd
also been aggressively trying to get Siso's daughter to attend Sunday school with her, despite neither Siso nor her
daughter being religious. Well, Siso didn't take kindly to this. She called Sharon, and
after a heated debate, the two parents agreed
to only hold play dates at Siso's house from now on. You'd think that'd be it, right? Oh boy. The next weekend came, and Sharon arrived at the
door with her daughter. But as soon as Siso opened the door, the other mother came storming in and launched into an angry tirade. Apparently, because Siso was a single mom, she obviously couldn't make good decisions and was a bad influence
on both their daughters, something she said clearly
in front of everybody. Then she grabbed her daughter and left, slamming the door behind her. Well, Siso took that as
a declaration of war. That night, she made a
fake Facebook account posing as an attractive young woman and started messaging
Sharon's husband, Mike. Turns out, he was just as
sleazy as she'd thought. Mike immediately responded,
flirting at first, but quickly implying he wanted,
uh, more than just a chat. Bingo! Siso screenshotted the whole conversation and sent it over to Sharon. Sharon didn't reply, but the next morning, Siso saw Mike storming out of the house with a suitcase and
recklessly driving off. He came back a couple of days later, so Siso hadn't destroyed their marriage, but she'd certainly put a dent in it. Phooey! There's a double moral to this one. Don't be a judgemental douchebag
and don't be a sleazebag. Capeesh? "Fishy Surprise." Going through a breakup sucks, but it's even worse when you're the one that's getting broken up with. After being on the wrong end
of a particularly bad break up, British TikToker, Katie Berisford, decided that rather than just move on, she needed to take revenge. How, you ask? Well, just watch. (playful music) Yep, she posted a raw fish
through her ex's door, and not just once, every single day, for who knows how long. Now, we don't know
exactly what her ex did, but the sheer level of commitment here does seem a little fishy, doesn't it? Well, I did a little more digging, and it turns out that's because it is. Katie didn't actually
post a fish every day. She just said that for the TikTok clout. She did post it the once though. I guess after that she realized there's plenty more fish in the sea. "Toot For Tat." There's a very wise, very old saying. Hmm, how does it go again? Oh yeah, "farts are funny,
no matter what age you are". But they can also be
the most horrific things a human can ever experience, something Reddit user
gonzo-is-sexy knows all too well. Gonzo used to work in an office where she got along with almost everyone, apart from one co-worker called Jasmine. Jasmine would go out of
her way to tell Gonzo how much she didn't like her. Apparently, she was too chubby,
too quiet, too everything. So, one day, in an attempt to make amends, Gonzo brought her a four-leaf clover. Admittedly, this seems a little odd, but she meant it as a nice gesture. Jasmine's response? She had a huge hissy fit
in the middle of the office and screamed that she's afraid of plants. Okay. Well, that did it for Gonzo. It just so happens she
has a sensitive stomach and certain foods make her
bowels, uh, less than savory. So, when she got home, she ate
a load of those exact foods. The next day, she walked
past Jasmine's seat and let out the deadliest,
stinkiest fart you could imagine, and she kept doing it
every time she got up. Not just for the day, for the whole week. Over and over again, she'd walk past, and over and over again she'd launch her dastardly bowel bombs, and it was an utter ass-pocalypse. Amazingly, Jasmine never once
reacted to the onslaught, but Gonzo knew she must've smelt them. it was impossible not to. Put it this way, by the end of that week, Jasmine certainly didn't
smell like flowers. "Four Cheese, Extra Scales." Nobody likes a thief. But if you've ever shared a college dorm, you'll know they're a food
thief's favorite hunting ground. But back in 2016, one British
student we'll call Sarah had a particularly bad roomie. They wouldn't just steal her food. They'd take a bite or two before putting her food
back in the fridge. The final straw came when
Sarah found a single, huge bite taken out of her
brand-new block of cheese. That was it. Seething, our wronged dormie hatched a devious plan to get her revenge. Step one, buy a takeout pizza. Step two, carefully slice off the toppings of a few pizza slices. Now, step three is where
it gets interesting and incredibly gross. It just so happens that,
earlier in the day, Sarah had spotted a couple of dead lizards on the side of the road
near where she lived. So she went back, picked them up, and, well, I bet you can
guess where she put them. Right inside the pizza. (retches) Heat those bad boys up in
the microwave and boom, the cheese sealed in our little friends, and it was impossible to
tell anything was amiss. All that was left to do was put the slices in the fridge and wait. The next morning, Sarah eagerly
crept down into the kitchen. And sure enough, there was the pizza box, lying opened on the counter. One slice had been completely consumed, and the second slice was half-eaten, with a gruesome bit of lizard
hanging from one side of it. Yeah! Sarah then posted a note on the fridge with pictures of the entire process, revealing to the food thief
they'd eaten a dead lizard. Man, I don't even know
what to say about this one. I guess revenge is a
dish best served scaly? "Trained for Vengeance." If you've ever been on a busy train, you'll know the importance
of securing a seat early on. Nobody wants to be stood
up for a long trip. Reddit user Magnus_40
knew this all too well, so he booked a seat for
his four-hour journey from Edinburgh to London well in advance. When he boarded his train, however, he realized somebody was sat in his seat. And not just any seat, a
window seat with a table, prime real estate in terms of trains. He asked the man to move,
but he rudely refused. So, Magnus got the attention
of the ticket collector. The ticket collector
asked the man this time, but again, he refused. "So, what now?" asked Magnus. The ticket collector shrugged and said, "You'll have to find another seat. I can't move him and
the police won't turn up just to move someone out of a seat." This really annoyed Magnus. The regular train cars were so full there weren't any other seats to take. "Fine," he said. "I'm going to sit in First Class." He grabbed his things and made to leave when the ticket collector shouted, "You can't do that. You don't have a booking for First Class!" Well, Magnus knew exactly
what to say to that. "Hmm, you could call the police, but apparently they won't turn up just to move someone out of a seat." And with that, he walked off
into the first-class carriage, took a seat, and had one of the best train journeys of his life. Now that's some first-class revenge. "Just A Joke?" Whether you're working in an
office or studying at school, the day-to-day grind can be dull. So, what better way to spruce things up than with a funny, harmless prank? But sometimes people take it too far. And when they do, they might get something a whole lot worse back in revenge. Apparently, according to an
old forum post from 2007, a colleague at a call center stole another worker's precious
Twinkie from his lunchbox. How did the wronged party respond? Well, they went to great lengths to ensure it'd never happen again. How? By buying a butt-ton of Twinkies and filling the offender's
entire cubicle with them. Of course, damn, it's a work of art. In all honesty though, this
entire story is probably fake. For a start, if I zoom in, are those the edges of
cardboard boxes I see? Looks like this cubicle
has been filled with boxes, and the Twinkies have been
stuck on the sides, on the top to make this prank look
a lot sweeter than it is. Real or not though, I definitely wouldn't wanna be the victim
of this next act of revenge. Back in 2006, Reddit User SteveHeaves was a student in a shared
accommodation block which loved to play pranks
on the resident advisor. One day, they taped a
mattress to his door, thinking they'd really outdone themselves, but the adviser came down later and completely dismissed
their prank, calling it lame, and saying he'd seen way
worse during his time there. Steve and his pals decided
this disrespect of their prank would not stand, and so responded with some
seriously grotesque retaliation. All of them proceeded to shave down there, gather the trimmings, and then stuck the hair
on the advisor's doorknob. When the advisor eventually returned, he grabbed the doorknob without looking, and most of them came off
in his hand. (retches) I hope that advisor wasn't squeamish because there's not enough
therapy in the world that would help me get over
touching that furry horror show. "Cart Attack." Nothing annoys me more
than people who're rude to customer service staff, and Reddit user ABearSniffedMyHead obviously feels the same way. When he saw a couple of middle-aged women mistreating a young
Walmart store assistant, he went to a whole new level
to teach them a lesson. The two women were blocking
the store assistant's way with their grocery-laden shopping carts and wouldn't move after being
politely asked to do so. Instead, they sneered down
at the young assistant and told her to find another way. Well, Bear wasn't gonna stand for that. He casually walked over, grabbed one of the snooty women's carts, and started running off
with it at full pelt. It took a moment for the women to react, but then they bolted straight after him. A wild race ensued, with
Bear dashing down the aisles and swerving other shoppers in a bid to escape the enraged women. And he did! Just as he got to the opposite
end of the store he let go, turned on his heel, and
ran back to his own cart. But he didn't stop there, oh no. It just so happened that
the other woman's cart was near his. she'd left it abandoned in
her effort to give chase. Jackpot. Bear grabbed both her cart and his own and went off to the camping section, where she'd never think to look. Then he took some of her groceries, put them in his own cart,
and left hers there. He never saw either woman again, or the worker he'd avenged. Until about a year later, that is. Bear was sat in a
restaurant with his family when he recognized one of
the waitresses serving him. It was the worker from Walmart! She recognized him too, and excitedly told him what had happened after he'd left that fateful day. Apparently, the two rude women
had complained to the manager and demanded that Bear be arrested. However, the worker told her
manager what really happened. Safe to say, no police were called. The two women stormed off, and the whole story became Walmart legend. So, there you have it. Respect customer service staff or you'll have your shopping stolen by a wild grocery-pinching
vigilante named Bear. Probably. Maybe. "Automobile Anarchy." We've all witnessed at least one person who's terrible at parking. Some are just bad drivers, but others, others are intentional douchebags. But bad parking doesn't
always go unpunished. Take the owner of this car. They'd been told they couldn't park here because it's a private company space, but they arrogantly insisted
on taking it anyway. Well, sure, but that doesn't mean you'll ever be able to leave it again. Yep, the guy they'd
spoken so arrogantly to just so happened to be a
dab hand at scaffolding. Ha! Oh, and you know who
else you shouldn't annoy? Farmers. This dude obviously didn't get the memo when he chose to block
one of their driveways to avoid a parking fee. He got a lot more than a
fee though when said farmer, in retaliation, threw a load of cow manure all over his truck. Phooey. There you have it. Bad parking stinks. "A Woman Scorned." They say hell hath no
fury like a woman scorned. And after hearing the absolutely insane story I'm about to tell you, I think you'll agree. Back in 2015, Laura
Arnold from Birmingham, UK became suspicious when her husband, Craig, told her he was going away on a two-week business trip to New York. The trip itself wasn't
out of the ordinary, but when he told her he seemed nervous as if he was hiding something. So she took a look at his phone and found out he'd been
chatting to a woman over there who was intending to give
him a (clears throat) warm welcome. Well, Laura wasn't gonna let that slide. However, rather than confront her husband, she acted like everything was fine and wished him a good trip as he left. As soon as they parted ways though, the smile left her face
and she jumped into action. Now, because her parents had helped them with the deposit and
mortgage for their house, and nothing had come from Craig, she didn't need Craig's
permission to list it for sale. You can probably see where this is going. Within the day, Laura
had listed their house on a website specializing
in selling homes fast, and they pulled through. Unbelievably, the whole process
was over within two weeks. Sarah sold the place to be
used as a student house, took her things, and left, though she made sure to leave all of her husband's possessions in there, included as fixtures and fittings. When Craig returned
from his business trip, he got the shock of a lifetime. His key didn't fit in the lock, and after ringing the doorbell, he was greeted by a group
of fresh-faced students. No amount of confused arguing
could achieve anything. The papers were signed and the
legalities were all sorted. What happened next has been kept quiet, though I imagine there was an
incredibly heated phone call between the unhappily married couple. As for Sarah's final words on the matter? Simply, "Things aren't great
between us at the moment." (Narrator laughs) Yeah, I bet! All right, that just about brings us crashing and burning to
the end of the video. Which of these vengeful tales
did you find the craziest? And have you ever taken revenge on someone in such a wildly passive aggressive way that it could belong in the
next installment of this series? Let me know down in the comments below, and thanks for watching.
