Best revenge stories

I know, I know. The best revenge is to move on and better yourself but after sharing joke (ish) revenge options with a friend tonight, I'd love to hear yours!
Entertain me. I'm bored 😂

[quote Izzabellasasperella]@Inappropriatefemale you did all that because he went to a club!? Way over the line imo.[/quote]
There was obviously lots more that he did and because I was pregnant when he did that, on top of everything else then I did what I did but I didn’t mention all that because the thread was about revenge.

Inappropriatefemale · 16/09/2020 19:16

[quote awsomer]@Inappropriatefemale I feel like there must be background to yours.
A) it was way over the top (being 20 doesn’t equate to being a dick)
and B) you broke up with your DP (while pregnant) - your relationship must have already been on the rocks?[/quote]
Yes but why should have I had to mention this when the thread didn’t ask?! It was purely about revenge, I didn’t realise I would’ve had to go into the history of the relationship!

Inappropriatefemale · 16/09/2020 19:26

Also being age 20 can equate to being a dick, there are lots of people that can be arseholes when they are younger but they grow out if it! and it equates to being immature enough to do something like I did, without handling it like a mature adult.

Think some of these stories should be taken with a very large pinch of salt.....

Went on the holiday we’d booked a year in advance and paid for in full. He tried to cancel it and take the money but I was lead passenger, so DD and I went without him. It was several thousand pounds and he was apoplectic that he couldn’t get it.

And the icing on the cake, I met now DH there.

Almost like it was fate when you think of it...

My favourite revenge was completely accidental.

I had a weekend, evening and holidays job in a garage when I was 16 and still at school. The mechnics were a nightmare for me as I was really, really quiet and I found their crude comments, rude jokes and language realy difficult. Typically a lot of them found my discomfort highly amusing and it made them wrose.

Midway through the summer one creepy perv (who had referred to me as "looks like jailbait, but is legal" because I was so young looking) in his 40's came in absolutely raging because his 19-year-old daughter had been on the receiving end of ONE smutty comment at work. One of the others said "She'd hear much worse in here" and he had a massive rant about her being only 19 and practically still a child so shouldn't be on the end of sexual comments and without thinking I said "You called me legal jailbait and discussed anal sex in front of me and I'm only 16..." He was mortified. He never uttered a single word to me ever again despite both working there for another 2 years.

A friend of mine had a creepy and unpleasant FIL who would bully her and act like a general arsehole.

She bought him a nice bottle of aftershave for Christmas, poured a bit away and topped the bottle back up with piss.

CandyLeBonBon · 17/09/2020 02:08

@Inappropriatefemale being 20 doesn't automatically entitle you to be a dick. It just doesn't!

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/09/2020 03:29

Posted on here about this a few times before

Mine was 50/50 deliberate/accidental

OW knew he was married, knew I was PG and didnt care. Yes I know I should have focussed on him but I was 4 weeks post partum and when I tried to talk to her she was vile to me. It was "just for fun" so I should just get over it. So I posted one of the tit pics she had sent him onto a no strings site with her number.

I didnt know that it was her business number (should've thought that through, silly bitch) and that she was going to be spammed with calls and texts! I had a conversation with the Police and they said that they understood but if I did it again I would be in trouble. I didnt do it again, she had to change her number and her business folded.

I'd like to say I am sorry, but I'm not. And no, I am not with him anymore!

I have already stated that there had been more shenanigans to the relationship before he lied and went clubbing, and most of us have done silly things at age 20 that we wouldn’t do now, do you live in a bubble ffs?! haven’t you done something dick like when you were young?! He did plenty to me but like I’ve already stated, the thread was about revenge so I told my story, didn’t realise that I had to explain my whole bloody relationship just to tell my story...Angry

My exh is an alcoholic and would often be extremely horrible. One evening he was being particularly awful and staggered off to bed. I was crying and upset so I slashed a 6 inch gash in his precious and treasured leather jacket. He didn't notice it for a few weeks because the weather was warm but when he did put it on and discovered it he racked his brains as to how it happened.

I really hope so, as many are utterly vile. I never get the sniggering & 'oh how funny we were' about some truly nasty behaviour. Regardless of cause.
EarringsandLipstick · 17/09/2020 06:56

I'd be amazed if most people's 'silly things' come close to what you did.

Not silly. Entirely unhinged & nasty. Don't want to be in the relationship? Well, end it. That's all 🤷🏻‍♀️

grool · 17/09/2020 07:06

Oh no, I went one better, I went in for the kill shot and hit my target

Bluntness absolutely savage 😁

CandyLeBonBon · 17/09/2020 08:23

@Inappropriatefemale you were quite happy to spill tea on the details of your revenge. If you'd put it in context you might have experienced different responses. As it is you have an account of some quite toxic behaviour. Context might have made it sound understandable rather than unhinged. That's what I'm trying to point out.

Honestly she was awful, mean as fuck, excelled in humiliation, and there is no doubt she was shagging him. Both married, he alluded to it as well.

I didn’t intend to publicly call her out on it, but you just get to the stage you’ve had it. And I had nothing to loose as I was leaving. I think I’m one of those people who you can only push so far before I bite you hard.

I won’t lie though, she was distraught. I honestly felt and still feel no regret.

I saw her years later, at an event, and she was no where near as confident round me, more she acted nervous, it didn’t help her that it was an industry event and I was now much more senior than her.

Once you stand up to a bully they are reticent to go back there it seems.

@Dowser

Living longer than he did Always tickles me that one
🤣
edwinbear · 17/09/2020 10:03

Got the idea for mine from MN. He was always cancelling on me because he was busy at work, sometimes he wouldn't let me know he couldn't make it and just stand me up, ignored messages for weeks on end, generally a rude, sulky, entitled, arrogant pig of a man. If I dared to pull him on his behaviour he'd make lame excuses about having had a nervous breakdown.

He's self employed, runs his own small business which he thinks is going to conquer the world. It is not. Just to ensure it doesn't, I bought up all the website domain names with any slight correlation to his businesses name. He told me a few weeks ago he's thinking about changing the name of his business, so I bought that one up too. Grin

MiriamShepherd · 17/09/2020 10:34

Awful, emotionally abusive ex when I finally left I was still very much in the fog but,

After a call where he was consistently calling me naive etc because I had spoken to him about the girl he cheated on me with I sent her messages telling her we had still been sleeping together when they had started dating regardless of what he said.

He called me the next day raging that I’d betrayed his confidence like that.

She made him pay for lying and held him accountable which was my revenge there. Eventually he persuaded her I was crazy and a liar so she turned on me (we knew each other) and told all her close friends I was psycho. They’re still together but eventually he’ll do the same to her and she’ll remember our conversations and realise she knew the truth all along that will be my revenge then as well.

Agree! If someone had come along and said 'I caught him texting another woman so I cut his dick off with a carving knife' that would have sounded insane. If there was some enormous backstory we couldn't possibly guess that included years of psychological and physical abuse then it might make more sense.

An extreme example I know, but you must surely get where we're coming from?

I knew there would be a revenge thread on here somewhere! I just picked up my future stepkids from DP’s Ex-laws; three hours drive from home. This was their belated opportunity to exchange Christmas gifts. With no discussion they are being sent home with a puppy! (Yes, I was the other woman, yes, the poor animal will be loved and appropriately cared for.)

Thought some of you would appreciate this!

Whilst I never condone giving pets as gifts, especially without consulting the parents, I did laugh.
