so my dh best mate was out with him on weds night and has confessed to taking revenge on his ex. She cheated on him with another of ou friends - so it was very nasty and messy! So he told dh that he has been 'revenging' her and has done stuff like put her nam down at an STD clinic and has put dog poo in her car air con. I am shocked tbh, dh also tried to talk some sense into him. I once revenged a friend at school and put an egg in her rucksack - hardly the crime of the century but has anyone else ever 'revenged' anyone.....

i read on another forum, about a woman who's SIL was stealing her stuff, really petty shit, like shampoo and stuff, so put Immac in a shampoo bottle, sometimes needs must. :)

Yes.

I live well.

I would NEVER do it now but there were two exes in particular when I was really early 20s who quite frankly deserved anything they had coming to them. I became a bit of a revenge guru in my halls of residence at university - I didn't really have the guts to do any of them myself but I had an overactive imagination and a devious mind - the people flocked .

Milk on a carpet/ underside of a mattress/ barely used item of clothing left hanging in a wardrobe always got good results. Wiffy!

FuckityFuckFuck · 11/01/2013 23:06

I would have guessed cheating as well but a fucking couch

The one rule my landlady gave me when I moved in was please don't throw furniture out of the windows

MiniEggsinJanuary · 11/01/2013 23:07

I also let Karma do my work for me. A friend and I really wanted to take revenge on another school friend when he stole from us. We were too scared so didn't. Now he's in prison ... for stealing ... for a long time!

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 11/01/2013 23:08

Milk is always a good tool of revenge, Hatgirl the smell when it goes of makes me wretch, it'd drive a person mad, smelling it, but not being able to find the source.

Do you really believe in karma though, isn't it just wishful thinking!

I waited until the STBX went abroad, packed up all of his belongings, took them to the Sally Army and moved house.

TheBrideofMucky · 11/01/2013 23:11

I had a really horrible ex when I was a teenager. He broke up with me then changed his mind and wouldn't let the relationship go and did some really questionable things to humiliate me like spreading nasty rumours about me and bringing his new girlfriend to the restaurant I used to work in so I'd have to serve them etc. He purposely tripped me up in a nightclub once and every time I so much as went on a date with a guy and he found out about it, he would befriend the date and somehow turn him against me (small town and he can be veey charming). It was weird, as if he really hated me and I know this sounds dramatic but he really tried to ruin my reputation and generally mess things up for me

I kept the moral high ground and didn't try to get revenge on him but years later I have moved back to the area, things are going great and I am marrying one of his close childhood friends. I bump into him socially quite a lot and know he cheats on his current girlfriend and that most people avoid him as he is a manipulative troublemaker. What do they say, the best revenge is living well.

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 11/01/2013 23:14

Carabos He musta been a real twat for you to do that, but thats just beautiful, wonder what his reaction was on his return.

TheBrideofMucky · 11/01/2013 23:16

That's the way to do it .

Allinonebucket · 11/01/2013 23:18

I broke something precious on purpose - I was packing my ex's belongings into bags to move him out while he was at work. I'd found out he was cheating (again) and was cross.

I regretted it for a while because I felt guilty, now I just regret it because it was a waste of my time and energy.

BattlingFanjos · 11/01/2013 23:22

My ex really screwed me over. Then went out of his way to cause me trouble but would also intermittently ask me to try again with him .

One such time came when he rang me and begged us to try again, I said "Ok then. Move in with me on x weekend. Bring everything you have with you and I will meet you at the train station at 10am"

He gave up his flat share, literally brought everything he had with him (obviously not much) and truly thought after everything he had done to me we would be fine

I never showed cruel but made me feel better and he never bothered me again!

ConfusedPixie · 11/01/2013 23:22

I did a bit of online-based revenge on my first 'serious' boyfriend when we broke up. He was an abusive arse tbh, not that I realised at the time!

I signed him up to various gay porn sites, knowing he would be hugely offended by it (big homophobe), along with anti-cult websites (he got drawn into a well known cult, still there!), Christian-based rehab information sites, other random sites. I also posted his email/phone number on various forums for illicit services. A lot of his friends joined in, thinking it was funny and they went a step further by signing him up to postal services and things.

He was also terrified of the possibility of his exes being lesbians (his most coveted ex had a relationship with a woman shortly after him) so my friend and I made up a ridiculous rumour that we thought up one drunken night about me seeing a girl called Bunny who was an underwear model () which somehow got back to him a month or so later and he was very angry and upset and actually believed it. In fact, it was the best bit of revenge!

Nowadays I've grown up obviously Also a hopeful believer in karma!

OpheliaBumps · 11/01/2013 23:23

In my 20s my ex dumped me 'it's not you, it's me' actually it was another woman. I found her clothes etc all over his house when i went to collect my stuff, so I cleaned the loo with both of their toothbrushes.

Seems very juvenile now, but it really helped at the time.

maddening · 11/01/2013 23:24

Did the immac pranks work? Only curious not planning anything :)

hatgirl · 11/01/2013 23:29

TheBrideofMucky hmmm there can't be two of them surely!?

My ex brought his new gf into the club I worked in and made a point of standing at the bar snogging her. My manager took pity on me (I had only been dumped about 10 days earlier and I was mortified as I hadn't told anyone at work we had split up at that point), and 'accidentally' spilt a pint of cider and black over him and then had them chucked them out for him being aggressive. Ex worked in a bar at the other side of town and to be chucked out of somewhere with wet pants by door staff he worked with was the ultimate humiliation. Poor girl he was with didn't have a clue what the problem was. You would have thought he would have learnt his lesson but he came in again a few weeks later with a different girl and by that time I was feeling belligerent and a bit braver, he did the whole snogging near the bar thing again and got soaked in soda water from the soft drink gun in my hand. I got a cheer, a round of applause and the DJ played 'your so vain' as the next song as he was leaving.

GeeinItLaldy · 11/01/2013 23:34

I had a drunken snog with a guy in sixth form. That's all it was but he told people that we'd shagged and that rumour spread like wildfire. It git back to me of course and he He apparently fancied me (the feeling wasn't mutual)

BattlingFanjos · 11/01/2013 23:34

hatgirl that sounds like movie revenge! I love the musical touch! How good did you feel?! Haha!

TheBrideofMucky · 11/01/2013 23:40

These horrible teenage boys! We showed them!

LibraryMum8 · 11/01/2013 23:40

My ex-boyfriend and I had a nasty nasty breakup. We had taken some "photographs" of each other (can't remember, but must have been instamatic photos - ones you print yourselves, would Never take those kind of photos to be printed)...

Anyway when I thought things were going sour, I asked for my pics back. No negatives. He never asked for his back. After the nasty breakup, I took his photos to a park near where he lived and left them in the walking path! I can't believe I did that!! Now that I have children, I would never, never, never in a million years do that again, I was not young but stupid and childless! Hopefully no kids got ahold of those pics! But I hope someone that perhaps knew him did!!

WorraLiberty · 11/01/2013 23:41

I don't believe in karma but then I don't really believe in revenge either.

I think getting on with your life and being happy/successful is the best 'revenge' ever.

I read a funny story in a magazine once though. This woman was living with a very vein guy who was OCD about his shirts. He'd hang them all up in colour sequence and wouldn't let her touch them. Apparently she 'wasn't fit to iron them'.

So when she moved out, she pissed in a jug and filled his steam iron up

hatgirl · 11/01/2013 23:41

I think the your so vain bit was just coincidence but it just made it perfect ... he was very well known on the bar scene in the area and looking back I don't see why I didn't realise how much of a knob he was, he was desperate to get the DJ gig where I worked (I think that may have been why he was even interested in me) and I think the DJ at the time knew he was after his job so I sometimes dream that he did it on purpose but I think it was unlikely . I got into trouble for the soda thing, he made a massive complaint and it was all on CCTV. Was so worth it though. The cheer and applause was mainly just from my work friends behind the bar and a few drunkards nearby.
