Any good CF comeuppance tales?

[lolliplop]

As i'm currently going through the most mind-blowing CF situation, and waiting for the courts to open a case against them, please can you point me in the direction to the best CF threads where they got their comeuppance. This will hopefully give me some reassurance that CFs don't always get away with it!

Yes, like the advice, frequently given when a cheating husband is involved, to change the locks on the marital home and put all his clothes in bin bags into the from garden.

The neighbours had access to her finances whilst she was living, and could have stolen a lot of money.

It might not be legit for tax, either. If she is a UK resident she should declare overseas earnings.
HMRC and DWP might be interested.

My dog was badly attacked by a dog visiting our neighbours - it came through their hedge when we were going out for a walk. The owner is a horrid slimy bastard, and even though he was there at the time, passed responsibility onto the neighbours who said they were looking after the dog so the owner couldn't be charged under the dangerous dog act in court (I was bitten too). This also meant that our £1k+ vet bill didn't get paid. I was furious and haven't spoken to the neighbour since. My dog nearly died I'd add, and still has scarring now.

The neighbour got a rescue dog last year, and they've had to put a fence behind their hedge as this dog is very reactive. DH still talks to them and he said last week we haven't heard the dog, is it OK and they've had to send it back to the rescue as it badly bit said slimy bastard friend.

Made my day hearing that. I laughed for about 20 minutes.

This just sounds like hearsay gossip.

I do so hope you told him to fuck off made him wait.😂

I had some refurbishments done and hired a skip. My drive has a locked gate which in theory prevented anyone dumping their rubbish in the skip. One morning a neighbour came and tossed half a dozen black bin bags over the fence. Two made it to the skip and the rest didn't. He then drove ff to work. Unfortunately one of my workmen has arrived early and was having a smoke in his van. He alerted me to what had happened and the bin bags were duly dumped onto his door step. By then one had burst and the contents spilled out all over his step. He would have had to move them before getting into his house. I would love to have seen his face when he found them.

A different neighbour dumped some bin bags onto my back lawn. They had been left in the back passage by persons unknown. It was bin day and he could easily have put them out in his bin. Unfortunately he was caught by my CCTV. I printed out the thumb nails and put them through his door. On the back was a message stating that the photos would be sent to the police if not cleared up. within 24 hours He was out there next morning at 6.15 am clearing it up.

Love it when lazy men get caught out.

I've told this on MN before, so apologies if you've read it.

Long ago when I worked in Lambeth I was walking back to the office after lunch and was just approaching the big traffic lights at the junction of Lambeth Road and Kennington Road. Suddenly a massive consignment of chip papers plus the remains of fish'n'chips landed at my feet (I'm sure it was meant to hit me). I looked up and saw a group of 3 men guffawing in their white van which had stopped for the red lights, so I immediately picked everything up and chucked it back into their cab, greasy paper, bits of chip and batter and fish bones etc. It went absolutely everywhere - all over the men and the van interior.

The looks on their faces! Thank goodness the lights changed and they had no choice to drive off, but they were mighty pissed off. (OK - if they'd been able to get out, it might not have been such a wise move on my part.)

The best part was that an elderly lady came up to me and congratulated me on my action - which made my day!

Omg . I'd do this. Or get people to go on your behalf!

This is glorious! 👏

Block of flats, individual small rubbish bins.

Students downstairs using other people's bins so nowhere for our rubbish.

Fished out their untied bag of rubbish, leant it against their inward opening front door, knocked (much louder than I thought) and stomped off up the stairs. When they opened the front door I shouted at them to put the rubbish in their own bin. Problem solved.

Perfect 👌🏼 👏👏 I love stuff like this. Greasy chip buggers!

This was a few years ago now so there was no CCTV. I was looking for a space in a full car park when a woman signalled to me she was leaving, I positioned myself so that she had enough room to get out and waited. As she left, a man zoomed up from the opposite side (against the correct direction for the row) and parked in the space. I told him I had been waiting for that space and he said "You should have been quicker then. You silly cow." and walked away laughing.

A woman who was standing nearby came over and said "That wasn't very nice. But luckily I've got my husband's toolbox with me." She proceeded to hammer a huge nail into each of his tyres before getting into her car and leaving.

I had to go home then as I knew he'd blame me when he got back!

My experience seems quite mild compared with others. We had a family event on and two couples were staying with us for a couple of nights but we'd explained that they would need to be away Monday morning as OH had a hospital appointment and I had to drive him back, one couple had form for not knowing when to go home and the other said they would be off on Monday anyway to visit other family. On the Monday morning we had breakfast and the second couple got off at about 9.30, the first couple lurked around and eventually left at aroud midday. When we spoke with both couples a few weeks later and asked if they'd had a good journey home the second couple who'd left at 9:30 said they'd had a very good journey. The lurking couple however, who were going the same way for hundred miles said they'd been stuck in a jam for over an hour and had had an awful time getting home!

Has no one added the CF work meal one? The one where the guy thinks everyone is splitting the bill and gets called out and has to pay his fair share? That's the best recent one I think. What a fud, he was raging 😆

Many years ago, when I used to work on Euston Road in London, which is 6 lanes of traffic in places.

A woman was crossing one of the side roads just in front of me, when a woman in a brand new Tesla (they really were all the new business at this time) came tearing towards her at speed, determined to beat the traffic lights and get across Euston Road the the other side. Obviously she was very busy and important.

She was leaning in her horn, swearing and the poor woman had to kinda lunge out the way to avoid be hit. I watched this happen and thought 'what an absolute xxxx'.

Only Tesla woman jumped the lights too late. Six lanes of traffic had already started moving quick, and the surprised driver of a BT Openreach van went straight into the side of her.

No one was hurt, and the van looked OK. But the side of her car was screwed. And she really had not a leg to stand on, as she clearly jumped a red to be where she was. It was an excellent moment.

I immediately picked everything up and chucked it back into their cab, greasy paper, bits of chip and batter and fish bones etc. It went absolutely everywhere - all over the men and the van interior.

I once did similar but it was a convertible BMW, lovely pale interior, and I made sure that the grease and ketchup landed on his linen trousers, dripping between his legs.

Neighbour who was using the pay per hour zipcars at weekends. The deal was you paid for the time you used and at the end of your journey left the car in local authority on street parking. Sometimes it was residents, sometimes special bays.

my neighbour however worked out that the locked garage for our block was close enough to the street for the tracker to think the car was in an approved bay waiting for another customer.

obviously it wasn’t as it is only accessible if you have a residents fob to open the door. So he essentially commandeered the car for his exclusive use for big chunks of time at minimal cost.

it all came to light as one day he didn’t park in his own spot but blocking four others. One of the blocked space owners got upset and phoned Zipcar and it all came tumbling out.

He got banned from Zipcar (which considering he was committing fraud over an extended period seemed like quite a light penalty)

He then came and yelled at various neighbours he thought had been involved in Zipcar finding out and threatened them with legal action. Shouting and swearing that he was a solicitor.

It turns out this was bullshit, he had a law degree but hadn’t ever completed his solicitor training. But he was employed in a financial services role that required probity and one of the neighbours was so pissed off about the whole thing they used their network to complain about him at a senior level. Not quite sure what the outcome was but he left his job and he and his partner have now emigrated.

Have a similar story with a boy I went to school with when we were waiting at a bus stop for the school bus. He said I should walk fast and demonstrated, and went straight down. The extra kick was he had been smoothing a piece of ice out to make it more slippery and had sneered at a parent who told him to stop as an elderly person could fall on it and guess where he slipped.
We were only 6, some just start young.

Our DS is a musician and ordered a very specific music based pie of equipment online, quite rare. It never arrived but when he followed up, was told that someone had signed for it. He thinks it was a neighbour but no proof.
He had the idea to see if said item was being offered for sale online as the person who had it would have no use for it unless in the music industry. He found it, so asked us what he could do. We arranged for him to meet the seller, posing as a buyer, and they wanted to meet at a nearby pub funnily enough.
We went with him, and when the woman turned up, it was definitely the item he had bought. He explained to her it was his item and he was taking it and if she didn't like it, to call the police. She couldn't get away fast enough. Job done.

Jesus I had second (third?) hand embarrassment reading that 🤣 No wonder he’s now your ex. What a plonker!

@Strawdolly I meant. Lol. X

Some years ago I read that drivers often give V-signs & verbal abuse to guys working on the roads, & I was horrified as that had never occurred to me. So if there's a bloke standing with a stop/go sign, I wave 'thank you' as I drive by. I feel that might cancel out someone else's V-sign.

The only time that went weird was on a very cold winter's day, when I was driving with the top down & I waved to thank the guy with the sign - & every man working there waved back! I suppose it was unusual to have the top down in that weather, so they all noticed me. 😂

I think people are just thinking your post is a bit lopsided as the only cf you name in your story is the ow who isn't as responsible for your marriage as the man you married.
Just sounds a bit :blame the woman,"
Good you explained he didn't completely get away with it.

I feel stupid but I don't understand how that worked. Wouldn't he have been discovered when someone came to collect the car and found it had been left somewhere inaccessible? Or was he just lucky that that never happened?
