When we bought our first home from a divorcing couple, the wife was living there alone. She went amok ripping up the kitchen flooring, smashing every light bulb, taking every curtain rail leaving holes in the walls.

Another mother at our school when the house sold, had the kitchen, bathrooms taken out and gave them away. We are talking about a very high end property here.

How would either of those actions affect anyone except the buyer - who could have chosen to pull out or drop the price thus impacting on the vendor (coincientally the unhinged one doing the smashing up)

My next door neighbour's house (in a terrace) was repossessed. They kept a key and went back in, turning on all the water to flood the house. So much water it came through into my house next door, running down the walls.

But surely they get billed for all this anyway? Expensive temper tantrums.

And this is why you always always get the locks changed when you buy a new property .

These examples aren’t exacting revenge on anyone. They’re just silly.

I know a parent that keeps maliciously referring their adult child for various fraud investigations (single parent receiving a small amount of benefits) - their DC wants nothing to do with them.
Nothing is ever found to be amiss but the adult child is constantly on edge.
Awful really.

It is the red mist that descends that drives folk to this imo. A physical release of tremendous anger.

A friend once found out her boyfriend was cheating. Before she got rid, with the help of a friendly mechanic, they unscrewed door panels on boyfriends prized car & put walnuts inside. They got great glee from friend of friend reports about this odd rattling noise in his car that he couldn't work out for months. Drove him half insane.

my friend found out het H was having an affair with his ex who had a high flying job in a massive organisation. She sent an email to the board members CEO etc about the affair - the OW was so pissed off

Had a beautiful little garden in front of my terraced house, but also had a difficult neighbour with two infant boys that were given to running amok...think sliding down cars and target football.
My garden got destroyed, others had seen the two ripping out flowers, but their mother was too aggressive for anyone to say anything.
I went round politely, she denied her darlings had anything to do with it, and I gave a gasp of relief and told her that I was delighted because all the plants in my front garden were highly toxic.
Handling them without gloves released neurotoxins that could cause liver and kidney damage, or onset of nerve damage that was slow but irreversible. I was so pleased that her children were not in danger. So relieved.
Then I left.

@DownByTheRiverside that's brilliant!' Definitely going to remember that one in case I need to use it!

That's really funny Grin Cruel, but funny.
I can imagine her running inside and giggling what to do.

DeRigueurMortis · 26/07/2019 14:45

I did read one somewhere a while ago about a woman who'd discovered her H was having an affair.

She diligently cut the buttons off every item of clothing he possessed (including bespoke suits/shirts), mixed them all up in a bag and left them for him with a note telling him either he or his OW could sew the bloody buttons back on.

In the meantime he should be aware that she'd booked herself into a 5* spa for a week and he'd be hearing from the solicitor she'd instructed, could sort out childcare and should be out of the marital home by the time she got back.

Kind of liked her style Grin

I read Sharon osbournes book years ago and she had some amazing ones... If j remember she found out her dad or maybe Izzy was having an affair buy finding some knickers in his briefcase..... she took the knickers, put them on the head of a gorilla statue which was a favourite of theirs, shit on it and then threw it down the stairs! 😳😳😳😳

piefacedClique · 26/07/2019 14:50

An ex housemate was cabin crew with a big airline.... she said they used to put a few drops of optrex in to difficult passengers drinks... apparently they would be held up in the toilets with the shits soon after!

I was at college in the 70s with a girl who had an abusive boyfriend she finally got the courage to leave. He was vile, so I waited a year.
Back in those days, a lot of magazines had fill in forms to join clubs, book clubs, wine clubs...start off with a free offer and then subscribe.
I filled them all in with his name and address. Freepost meant it cost me nothing, but the aggravation factor for him was enormous.
Waiting a year meant he hadn’t got a clue which of his many enemies was responsible for the bombardment.

Love the one about the woman who unpicked the curtain hems and inserted frozen king prawns before carefully sewing them up again, then packing her bags and leaving. Took a couple of days before the smell got really bad and the place was soon uninhabitable Grin

HollowTalk · 26/07/2019 17:06

@piefacedClique I doubt Ozzy had a briefcase!

Rainbowknickers · 26/07/2019 18:16

Years ago my best mate and boyfriend had been having an affair behind my back-it had been going on for months while I was pregnant

Well when my baby was 5 months old they went out together got very drunk came home and beat me up in front of my kids

Then tried to take my baby from his car seat-I managed to grab him back just as the police came

Not only did they both get into trouble for gbh I sold the one thing that REALLY mattered to him

His x-box

I made £20 and lost two losers from my life

His excuse for norking my ex friend was ‘well I couldn’t have sex with you after you’d given birth-I have needs’!

I’m not sorry
