My whole extended family went on vacation when
I was in middle school and stayed in one big house. When we were about to go swimming
and I was changing, my younger cousin kept coming up to the keyhole and peeking in. I
was a 12 year old girl and he was a 10 year old boy and I was really upset. I’d yell at
him and he’d run away, but then sneak back. I realized the door opened OUT towards where
he was coming from, so after I was all ready, I watched for him to come back and slammed the
door into his head right as he was bending down to peek again. He screamed and of course his
mom came running and I was like “??? I opened the door because I was done….why would I have
thought to see if he was there?” and totally played dumb. It’s not like he could say anything
to defend himself because then he’d be in trouble. I didn’t get in trouble and he left
me alone after that. He was always was bigger and stronger and this time I felt like I
“won” for the first time. This was some years ago, but when I lived in the burbs, there
was this 25 year old guy that hung out with kids still in high school and would
drive by every day with a massive lifted truck yelling profanities at us. We didn’t
personally know him, just that type of guy. One day, he threw his soda at us driving by, and
we had enough. My friends and I had bought a giant dildo as a prank months ago, and decided
to super glue it to the back of his truck. Come to find out, he was dating two girls (one was mid twenties and had a kid with him,
one was our age in high school, 18). For a week, he didn’t notice the dildo and he
would drive by with it flailing around on the back of his truck (he also had the hanging balls on his
truck which was even more hilarious). Back then, Facebook was the thing, and when he found out,
he accused the 18 year old girl of doing it. The 18 year old girl publicly posted that her
ridiculous boyfriend accused her of putting her dildo on the back of his truck, and the
mid twenties girl saw it and put two and two together (realized he was cheating).
They both ended up breaking up with him, and the girl in her mid twenties posted a picture
with the dildo on the back for everyone to see. To this day, he’s still
single from what I can tell, and never knew it was us. Not that great of
a revenge story, but who would have thought. — To clarify, the guy lived up the street from
us, and I was friends with the 18 year old girl on Facebook. She went to the same high
school as me. That’s how I saw it all go down. The dildo had suction on the back of it, so it’s
meant to stick to surfaces or walls. Not sure if it was super glue or gorilla glue, but whatever
it was, we held it on for a few minutes and it stayed. Today is day 13 in hospital. I have
a severe back condition & awaiting surgery. Ive been on my new ward for about 5 days. Im the
youngest there. Im in my early 40's but young at heart. I have 6 kids & I'm the sort of practical
joke mum. Put fake spiders in their beds, sew up their pyjama bottom legs so they cant get in them
etc etc. So u now know a bit of my personality. I live in chronic pain. I take Fentanyl, Morphine,
gabapentin & other drugs but cba to write them all but i try to be happy, jokey & just take the
p1ss out of everything really. Im the youngest in my ward. Im sharing with 5 others "ladies". I had
got on well with them till today. We was chatting (well mainly 3 of them) i just chip in when i feel
like it. Im too busy listening to Prime & trying to build my Lego Ghostbusters car to be moaning
about things & acting more important than others. We was talking about snoring. They said i snored.
Ok i snore. I don't care. I rarely sleep well due to pain so if i get 3-4 hours sleep great. My OH
doesn't moan so i cant be that bad. I jokingly said "well you lot snore but i don't moan about
it" & laughed. Well cor blimey! You would've thought i'd done a 💩 on the floor! One of them
said "you lot, you lot" & the other one chimed in "us lot....we are ladies". I then did the Little
Britain "laydeeeeee" thing & laughed & she said we are ladies, we are your elders, you should
show your elders respect. I disagree. I think respect & politeness gets muddled up. Im polite
to people, very polite, but my respect needs to be earnt. The woman next to me then said that I
had my light on till 2am the other night. Yes i did. I had my light on in my area with my curtain
around me but i was mindful & put it as low as i could to not disturb her. When she asked how long
i'll be, i tilted the light so it was darker in her area. I tried to respond but they cut me off
& told me the conversation is over. So tonight, i didn't bother adjusting the lamp & i didn't care
if it annoyed her. I know its not much but i can barely walk atm, barely sit up & i'm weeing into
a bag so let me have this little bit of revenge 😜 Firstly, do you think respect needs to be
earnt by individuals or is it a given right? Secondly, any advice how i can get some
revenge would be greatly appreciated as I'm being bullied by 3 coffin dodgers & its
really not helping atm as I'm missing my kids, family & friends & i'm feeling
like a bit of a failure. I don't know whats going to happen to me & I'm
in constant pain so a bit emotional 😭 Thirdly, I fell asleep before i posted this.
I've not long been awake. Someone asked how she slept. She said "not great" when asked why, she
said because of the light. I couldn't help but feel really pleased & a smile spread across my
face. Petty i know 🤣🤣 I helped my friend during the COVID-19 vaccination program in my community.
After the program, she introduced me to the rest of the team. She told them that I used to work for
the same company. And then this one nurse raised her eyebrow and loudly said “oh you’re one of
those who got laid off during the pandemic huh?”, i felt overwhelmed on her remarks, but my friend
said “oh no, she resigned on her position because she’s attending medical school to become
a medical doctor”. The nurse was stunned and quietly apologized. I guess my friend got
my back on putting judgmental people on their places. For some backstory, I (20F) live in
a dorm at my University. I unfortunately was assigned a room this year right next to this
guy (20M), we'll call him Cole; a guy who in the first two weeks of our freshman year dumped
my friend and called her a tramp to her face. Ever since then I've hated him and his jerk friends
who haven't stopped talking crap about her. Living next to him this year has been awful. Cole, and his roommate/friends who frequently
visit them, yell, bang on the walls, and loudly tramp shame women/comment on their
bodies. Needless to say, this guy sucks. So the other night I was drunk and ordered
food while my boyfriend was over. Every time I order from grubhub I make sure to get down
to the front door as fast as possible because its common for people to steal orders outside. As
I'm heading to the entrance my food was left at, Cole and his friends walk past me with bags of
food in their hands. I go outside and my food is gone. Cole sucks so I immediately suspect
that he stole it. I thankfully catch the elevator before it closes, and see one of his
friends telling him to "put it back". I say, "Is that my food?" They all awkwardly say yes,
and Cole hands me my food. Then another friend says "Okay well, put the other one back." Cole's
friend is holding another bag of takeout with my friend's name on it. I say "That's my friend, I'll
take it to him." While we are going up floors, I start to cry, as I am inebriated and very
overwhelmed by what just happened. Then, everyone in the elevator laughs at me, trying
to stifle it with their hands over their mouths. I leave the elevator in tears without
anyone of them saying a single "I'm sorry." I go back home drunk and ticked and hungry. I tell
my boyfriend everything and he's ticked. He asks me if I want him to go over and tell him off,
even suggesting to slash his tires/key his car. But I wanted to hit him where it really hurts.
I go to facebook and find his mother through his account. It only took like 3 minutes to find
her. I DMd her and told her EVERYTHING. Not only what just happened, but all the misogynistic and
mean things he's said to women and my friends. A few days pass and my RA texts me that Cole
has requested to formally apologize with the RA as a witness. Apparently,
since it was attempted theft, the RA would have to report him and it would
be put on his permanent record if he didn't apologize. Totally coincidentally, I saw that
Cole's mom had opened my message a half and hour earlier. Sounds like his Mom scolded
him and probably demanded he apologize. I went to the apology, thinking to myself "This
better be a scholarship saving apology." But he did what I assumed and gave a bullcrap,
unemotional apology and thanked me for not reporting him. But the satisfaction
of mis mother knowing what an jerk he is was all I really needed. I share a bathroom
with other people. They like to play the "If I leave 1 piece on the roll it doesn't count
as empty so I don't have to change it" game. My solution: If the roll is left empty or with 1 or 2 pieces I will GLADLY put a new one on the
holder... the wrong way around. I don't care if it's "backwards" but I know it
bugs the heck out of them because it's always turned around the next day. The best part is
that they can't say anything because then they would have to admit that they never change it. My
(24F) friend group consists of about 10 people, give or take, a good mixture of men and
women all varying in ages from 24-37. There's also this new girl (A- 27F)
that we've been hanging out with, she hasn't been particularly kind to me, but
shes friends with my friends. For example, she bartends at the place we frequent
and she won't even serve me while she serves everyone around me. She ignores
me so obviously/frequently that others have even noticed and pointed it out.
I never understood why she was so mean, but I didn't take it too personally. I also catch
her giving me death glares rather frequently. She secluded me about 4 weeks to talk to me
about her and J (35M- one of my friends). From the way she was talking, I assumed her
and J had been together for a minute. She kept saying that she "knows" about J and
I so I had to tell her that at one point, one of our other friends did try to hook J
and I up (months prior), but things were so platonic that we hadnt even kissed so we began
dating other people and were content being just friends. Sometime after this conversation
though, she told J that she heard that J and I hooked up (we hadn't) and she caused drama
surrounding our friendship that was secluded to him and her (presumably, since i hadnt heard
about it until after everything unfolded) It turns out though that she has that conversation
with every pretty girl she sees talking to J. But J has been telling everyone that
there's nothing going on with him and A, hes not interested, she just has a crush on him. Thursday though, J asked me if I wanted to
come with while he went to the next state over in his semi. Why not? How many other
chances will I have in my life to ride in a semi to pick up potatoes? I have a friend
that's actually requesting my company? Cool! I brought my canvas and paints with me.
At one point during the drive, I shared a snapchat with my friend group of my canvas and
J inside the semi with the caption "spud run". A immediately sent a chat then deleted it. Then the girl who's known for causing a scene
(and happened to be working with A at the time) sent a chat that read something along the
lines of "what's going on? I'm gonna get ticked if no one tells me. OP, are you with
J right now? That sure looks like his truck." J sent a chat confirming that we were
in the same place at the same time. 2 different people told me that it was
wrong of me to hang out with J knowing that A has a crush on him. I told them
both the same thing; A is not my friend, she has never been nice to me, and I am not
obligated to tiptoe around her feelings. A sent me 4 paragraphs worth of messages (were
talking 5,000+ characters/paragraph) telling me that shes not the reason for this drama,
she never said that her and J were a thing, "rumors" just go around, she doesn't
care that I've slept with J (I hadnt), she just cares that I slept with her ex boyfriend
(still- I hadn't), she doesn't care to be friends with me because im not her favorite person (she
repeated that 5×), that I can screenshot the messages and show whoever I want because drama
was not her intent with them, and that it wasn't wrong of her to ignore me- but that I've gotta
stop telling people she gives me death glares. J and I did end up hooking up, but I don't
know if we would have had it not been put in our heads. After all, we did spend about 24 hours
bonding over the drama that A created. 🤷♀️ I had a few dates with a guy (lets call him "Snake")
like 20+ years ago. I was vaguely aware that he had been dating this other woman, "J" but she
had moved to another country a year before and there was no indication they were still together.
He said they were pretty casual (they never lived together and were never exclusive per everyone
who knew them). I was sure to ask around before accepting a date with him. It was the general
consensus that it was fine. I did not have a way to get a hold of her (before the internet
was reliably available in many countries). After a few dates I had since decided
that he was cute but had caught him in some lies and he displayed some red
flags about manipulative behavior. So I said let's just be acquaintances. He was
fine with it. He was clearly playing the field and no hard feelings. It was pretty
common in our group to date around and not be jealous or serious at the time. But
people were respectful of each other. Well J came back a few months later and made a
huge-butt scene, screaming and yelling at me at a nightclub. I was like WTF. A mutual friend
took us out of the club and mediated a looong conversation between us. It was ridiculous. I
was like "I am not responsible for J's feelings and don't really care that she's mad, but sure I
will try to work it out." I was like "hey sorry if I hurt your feelings, I respect you and
that was not my intent. But homie has been playing the field so you may want to address your
rage at him rather than me." It took HOURs that I will never get back in my life, but she finally
calmed down and was able to see that he had lied to her and to me. We "made up" commiserated that
he was manipulative to us both and she agreed her feelings were not my problem and apologized for
making a scene. I was not too happy about being put in the "other woman" role and would never
agree to that. I told her I had guys cheat on my and it feels gross and I don't want to be
a part of that. I thought she believed me. I didn't hate him or anything and was
fine seeing him at social functions. I barely knew this woman. I would just see
her at parties or clubs or whatever. But I thought it was all good and things were
chill again. I had no idea if she got back together with him or what and didn't
really care. It wasn't my business. Then she started working at one of my worksites.
It was a social services center with lots of vulnerable clients getting basic needs met. I was
in another agency that would come by and pick up certain clients for services in the evening. I
had been doing my job for several years and had no idea she wanted to do that kind of work. We were
cordial at the worksite and I offered her help getting more work and experience in the field if
she was interested. She was gracious and friendly. No issues. This is become important to know
later-I also knew all of her bosses for years and was tight with them and know 90% of the clients
really well having worked there before and having been in the field for a long time. I was decently
well-respected and I loved the people at the site. A few months later I was driving with my friend
on my way to a party at a mutual friend's house. I saw Snake and another male friend (K) getting
off a bus to walk to the party. It was kind of a schlep and they had some musical equipment so we
pulled over, and offered them a ride. (this is pre-Uber as well) We pulled up and got to the
party and I helped them and some other folks bring their equipment into the house. It was
a party of musicians and people were gonna jam and I am always happy to help with a designated
driver ride, make food, bring booze or whatever so I can rock out. It was something I had been
doing for a long time and would do again. NBD. Well apparently J was there and saw me
(GASP) talking to Snake and helping with the equipment. She (unbeknownst to me at the
time) stormed out the back and flounced out in a huff. I never even saw her. She never asked
what was going on. I am allowed to talk to people and give them rides. It doesn't
mean I humping them. Sheesh. I enjoyed the party and drove some other musicians
to their homes later. Like I said, NBD. A week later I come into the social services site
to pick up my clients and I see her. She glared, stomped and flipped her ponytail in a mini-fit.
The whole room got quiet. Clients noticed, staff noticed. All eyes were on me. I just
ignored her antics and called out my clients' names from the list to get them on the van.
I got no time for nonsense when I am at work. *As a side-note this was a women's/nonbinary
only space and while working there I have broken up many fights over boyfriends
or girlfriends between clients. Like people throwing lunch trays and sh!t. So
I am as stoic as f@ck when people bring drama at me. The clients were STOKED.
"OOOOOHHHH staff drama! Heck yes!" So I ignored her and did my job. I was thinking
"wow that is super unprofessional but I am not letting that sh!t rub off on me. Get yourself
together girl." but I kept my bland, pleasant expression. This made her even more ticked and
she stomped off to a back office. The manager was there and looked at me with curious eyes. I
knew she was gonna squeeze me for deets later. I got home and J left a VM on my landline machine
(yes I am actually 100 years old now) stating that she knew I was still f@cking Snake and she said
"you are not my friend" very clearly. She also said "Snake and I are soul mates and you can't
keep us apart!" And complained about the night I came in "with him, like a couple" I was like
"oh good grief! you have got to be kidding me!?" So I called her back and got her VM. I said
"First of all, you said I am not your friend. Thank you for that. I am officially freed from
worrying about your feelings ever again. Second, I spent WAY too much time dealing with
your emotions about your perceptions of my behavior. I was done with you when you acted
like a jerk at my place of work, anyway. Third, while I am on the subject of work, if you EVER
even look at me funny in a work situation, I will get your butt fired so quick your head
will spin. Fourth, Go make a wonderful life with your 'soul mate' who likes to freak
other women. Best of luck with that. Five, LEAVE ME THE F@CK ALONE." I know it verbatim
because my friend and I wrote it out and I just read from the paper. I was sorting things recently
and ran into it so decided to post it here. The next time I worked at the worksite,
the big boss (BB, a fricken cool who has my eternal respect) pulled me aside as
I expected and asked what was up with J. I told her truthfully my side and said I
was disappointed that she was so ridiculous at our worksite and this needs to be a
safe place free of drama for our clients. I told BB I would continue to ignore J's
drama. She said "don't worry about it". I never saw J again. Apparently she was fired for
her behavior and yelled at BB when BB asked WTF was up with her and screeched that I was a devil
woman or something. Not sure if petty revenge but: 2003 Young (19m), dumb, and on the rebound,
I met someone online. Ex gf told me not to date her, best friend told me not to date her,
everyone said the same thing. 6 months later, married and I can almost identify the
day she conceived our kid (now almost 19 himself). She had her IUD removed and
didn't tell me. The actual marriage time, living together, lasted about a year. I
started hooking up with a co-worker. Yeah, I'm an jerk. But...always a but. She refused to
work, claimed health issues wouldn't even let her hold down a desk job. But didn't mind sitting
in front of my computer all day, playing games. EverQuest mostly. Smoking. Eating food. But not a
job. She had a lot of other issues too. Both step daughters were being molested by the younger
one's father. She knew and did nothing. She is a crapy member of indigenous people: demanded
a free house but refused to live on the reserve, welfare, pawned all my crap to make bills each
month. Rarely showered. Withheld sex as a weapon. When I (very often) out-logiced her in an argument
she'd threaten me with a knife. In modern days, she's worse about her hygiene and our son won't
speak to her.(Although she blocked him on all socials because he wouldn't move in with her)
She got her youngest daughter kicked out of a house so she could have it. Still doesn't
have a job and blames everyone else for it. Annually tries to scam $50k USD from people for a
"surgery." The issue is real, ice seen the x-rays, but she doesn't want Canada to do it for free
because they don't use lasers......... Drugs. I was the only one making money at 8.50/he with
a 2hr commute. Gas was over $4 at the time. Plus, I was feeding 4 people on that as well.
Sometimes 5 when the youngest came over. I was starving myself. Anyways. Walked away
for the most part but still saw my son regularly. Got a better job. Then joined
the Army. My son went to live with his grandparents (single soldier stuff) and his
mother SIGNED AWAY HER RIGHTS to an extent. From the time I walked out (2004) until July 2012, she kept refusing to sign
papers to finalize the divorce. My 1sg said "you will get divorced or
get court marshaled. (I had a daughter with another woman while in the army) So
I got divorced. Put an ad in the paper she claimed to read. Never responded. Divorce
granted, all debts belonging to the debtor. But because we were married in Canada, the US
could only handle the divorce, not custody. Well, she denied the divorce ever happened, every
day. She claimed she couldn't find the record on the states "vital statistics" site. But I could.
And she was mailed a divorce decree back in 2012. Roll up on Oct. 2020 I'm on my way back
home after a visit to my origin and visiting friends. I get a call from some freaking lawyer
in Toronto. She hired a divorce lawyer, and was suing me. Heh. I tell the guy, it happened.
When I get home I'll scan it and email it. Scanner was broken. So I took photos
with my phone, and I called every day for a week to confirm he got it. He
was NOT happy. So about a year ago, I was at a lake way north from where I
live. I came back to the parking lot to find my car blocked in by someone who
thought it was a genius idea to leave their car directly behind 3 parked cars (I was
the middle car, definitely couldn't get out). I waited and waited, and right before I was
going to call a tow truck a couple walks up and casually gets in the car and proceeds to drive
off. I quickly backed up, circled around the other way to get to the parking lot exit first. I get
to the exit, and he's right behind me. I throw the car in park, and just sit there. 10 seconds
later, he's laying on the horn. Eventually he gets out and walks up to my window and starts yelling
profanities and tells me to get out of the way. Something to note here, there is
only one exit in this parking lot, and the entrance for some reason has
one way spikes to prevent people from leaving that way. No idea why, since this
is just the parking lot for a lake. Anyway, I cut him off and tell him he made me wait 17
minutes and 20 seconds (I timed it) when he illegally blocked me in and I intend to wait
17 minutes and 20 seconds to let him leave. He storms off, calls me a few names in the
process, and floors it in reverse. He drives down to the entrance and without noticing
the spikes I guess, drives right into them. I see his brake lights come on at the last
minute, and pow both front tires are done. I then decided 17 minutes was a waste of time
since he'd clearly be there longer than that, and so I left. Made the rest of my day feel much
better. My wife got hired by a well-known big-box store as a department manager. Her manager really
liked her and when he was transferred to a store 30 minutes away, he asked that she follow and
promoted her to assistant manager of the store. We even moved to be closer to her new location. Then they began an affair. Rather than flip out on either one of them,
I called the company's Integrity Hotline and reported him (turned over inappropriate love
letters, holiday cards etc. - which he'd signed). One month later - he was out of a 6-figure job, and she got transferred
back to her original store. As a final blow, I delivered his
still-dirty clothes (found at my place) to his wife (who also
worked for the same company). Sure I felt like clocking the guy, but that's a crime - so I killed
his career and marriage instead.
