Revenge is best served cold

[yesrevenge]

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.

And here we are, another point less thread

Well this is most unsatisfactory.

I think we're just supposed to "validate " or something 🤔

What do we think are the chances of the Daily Mail picking up this exciting tit bit ?

Seconded.

Waiting months to revenge a perceived slight is sociopathic to me. I just don't get it.

You sound a delight !!!

Well there's some right bitches come out of the woodwork on this thread to give the OP a kicking. Mumsnet at its most unpleasant.

🙄

You sound nuts to be honest.

Congratulations, you have managed to be simultaneously boring and irritating.

Says alot about you then it does about MIL.
Hope our paths NEVER cross.

😂😂😂

‘Revenge’ is one of the reasons the world is as shitty as it is.

the power of forgiveness is worth so much more. But, as long as you’re pleased with yourself, I suppose that’s all that matters.

but you sound just as bad as her.

Well she shouldn't have started such a goady thread. She doesn’t want to be outed and knows her SiL is on MN, so the whole thing is a pointless, self indulgent smug fest and l, for one, have no idea how to respond, because with no detail it’s far from clear what she wanted to get out of it.

Lol pass me the crystal ball 🔮

Bloody hell, this is the worst you've seen on here? You must be new.

Could do with mystic Meg at this point !!

Actually, I can get on board with this one 😆

Ooh, are we playing a guessing game?

She forgot your anniversary. Two months later DH forgot her birthday or another significant event for her, you could have reminded him but didn't. Now she's upset.

That’s because the OP is bitch.

😆😆

How ridiculous

Good one, but not right.

What really happened was this. OP had arranged a special secret outing for a family member , including MiL, to celebrate a significant event. Deadly secret . MiL let the cat out of the bag , hence the OPs fury. Event went ahead but the surprise element was lost.

Fast forward to when the need for revenge has festered in OPs heaving bosom like a volcano. OP and Mil are at an upmarket soft play when MiL spots a favourite celeb that she has had a secret crush on for years. “I’m going to go and say how much I love XX and how much I have enjoyed following their career,” announces Mil, “ Do I look OK.”

OP smiles sweetly and nods, ignoring the lettuce stuck in Mil’s front teeth. MiL gets up to go to the favourite celebs table where they are sitting minding their own business quietly having a cup of coffee.

To OP’s joy she notices that as well as the lettuce teeth MiLs skirt has caught up in her knickers. MiL goes across, gushes over celeb who is polite but clearly not thrilled.

MiL turns to return to her own table still smiling her lettuce smile, and OP sees the celeb not only clock the skirt /knicker situation, but grab their phone and take a sneaky picture of the MiLs predicament. “Oh, XX is lovely,” says MiL, “ I really feel we made a connection.”

Completely pointless if you're not going to tell us what happened.
