Revenge is best served cold

Yes! I got my revenge. MIL ignored something which was very important for me and Dh. I didn’t show my annoyance then but hoped to somehow pay back. The situation came two months later and I didn’t need to do anything. I am the only person who could have prevented it happening but I did nothing. She must feel same as I did.

Rise above it, you will be a happier person as a result.

purplecorkheart · 05/08/2025 15:36

Without you saying what both of you have done or not done then it is really hard to comment.

WFHforevermore · 05/08/2025 15:36

What a loser - obv. wants to do the drippy drip feed.

What she did is unforgivable

she eat the last slice of ham? and did you shit in her shoes?

this thread is pointless without context

OP YABVU for not including a diabolical laugh on any of your posts....

Mwahahahahahahah!!!!

Notonthestairs · 05/08/2025 15:38

I think this belongs on FB.

Tillow4ever · 05/08/2025 15:42

Do you attention seek in real life too. OP?

I feel sorry for your in-laws as you sound unhinged without giving any context to know if you were justified or not.

UnemployedNotRetired · 05/08/2025 15:42

3 other sayings I prefer

When seeking revenge, first dig two graves.
No revenge is more honourable than the one not taken.
Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.

Im waiting for the ultimate traffic drip feed

Rosscameasdoody · 05/08/2025 15:45

Most pointless thread ever. Intriguing title designed as click bait, and then a total let down. OP if you’re SiL is on MN why on earth did you post knowing you couldn’t elaborate ?

AuntyDepressant · 05/08/2025 15:45

Posts are best written with coherence.

And some people sit by the river waiting for the dead bodies of their enemies to float by.

Something to do while waiting for the OP 🤣

My MIL has pulled some really nasty strokes in her time, so I understand where you’re coming from.

We never get to hear the MILs' versions of events, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle! Lots of DILs seem to spend their lives slight-seeking.

Kubricklayer · 05/08/2025 15:49

Shall we play a game of speculation? I'll go first.

MIL took OP and DH to McDonalds and they both asked for a toy with their happy meal, but MIL got them both the book option instead. The toy options were squishmallows which OP and DH collect and so it's very important to them.

2 months later MIL took them both back to McDonalds and ordered from the counter. MIL a quarterpounder with cheese 'plain' and the OP and DH again had happy meals.

However, the employee made MIL burger with everything on. OP was the only one who could stop it as she noticed the burger box sticker was absent of the 'make it plain' label.

So when MIL took a bite down on the burger and was hit with the mustardy, ketchupy, pickly flavour mixed in with the cheesy beefyness she winced n horror., and OP's revenge was complete.

Also the burger had sat there a while so was also cold hence the thread title.

Wren502 · 05/08/2025 15:49

Aw why don't you post your important event all over SM and hopefully get enough likes to fill your gaping hole of neediness? You honestly sound like a nasty little 12 year old with your childish revenge.

What she did is unforgivable

Then tell her that and go NC? You sound just like her.

Both of you are unforgivable now.

Most pointless thread I have read on here in some time.

Not so much a thread, more the OP's personal smug-fest. Whoopy-do.

You meet loads of the MILs on grandparent threads to be fair.

PinkyFlamingo · 05/08/2025 15:52

Give over with all the dramatic vague posts, noone is a mi d reader so noone has a clue what you are going on about.

Helpmeplease2025 · 05/08/2025 15:52

MN’ers out there, if something terrible happened to your DM recently, and you have a right cowbag SIL, fill us in please!!

Shetlands · 05/08/2025 15:53

So your MiL did something unforgivable, which you aren't going to reveal and in retaliation, you've done something back to her, which you aren't going to reveal but you've started a thread to tell us that you won't be telling us what MiL's initial act was or your act of revenge.

Quality posting! 👏

Smug.

Like you said OP, you didn't need to do anything, she has caused her own demise (whatever it is). Sounds like she's shot herself in the foot.

Terrribletwos · 05/08/2025 15:55

yesrevenge · 05/08/2025 13:36

What she did is unforgivable

What happened? You don't say in your post?

Do you know what it is though?
