I posted previously about difficulties with sister, ho she has bullied and tried to control me and that she completely ignored me on my wedding day. Her daughters wedding is coming up and I have been fantasising about ruining it for her in some way, not ruining it for her daughter but for her. I imagine ignoring her like she did me or more dramatic revenges which I am too ashamed to detail. I will almost certainly not take revenge believing it's not good for the soul, but I bet it would feel bloody great and I am tempted! Anyone ever taken revenge and did it feel good or bad?

Someone I know (not a friend. I stress not a friend...) put up a timeline on Facebook - a countdown. It said "10 days to my birthday", then "9 days & counting", etc". and promised that on her birthday a really big secret would be revealed.

She wasn't kidding. Come the day she revealed that her ex was the father of his brother's DS. On FB. As publicly as possible. Don't know if the brother knew, but the DS definitely didn't. So a 15 y.o. boy found out from FB that his uncle was his dad. And, by coincidence, this was in the same week that the poor lad had come out as gay.

I challenged her, asked why she thought it was OK to do something like that. She simply couldn't see anyone could criticise her. Her view was that it was her ex's and SIL's fault they'd had the affair, made the baby all she was doing was breaking the silence. She wanted revenge on her ex for his DV, and she resented his family for not supporting her.

She knew this secret was because her ex confided in her while they were together. She also had his child. So her son and the victim in this are half-siblings. If that poor kid had harmed himself it would have been her fault. I think it was the worst thing I've ever known about personally. I mean you read about things like this, but it actually happened.

That is unspeakable. I believe you but I cannot understand the mentality behind her behaviour.

Me neither. I was so revolted and I felt she was quite with morals or thought for what she was doing.

I had my revenge on someone I described it earlier but it was straight, "back at you" destruction to someone who'd wrecked my world without a care. It wasn't cruel.

I have already posted the revenge I did and that I know of, but they didnt involve anyone but the person who was the revengee. Using a child to get back at someone is utterly disgusting, and that goes for both of the stories on here.

There are some things that you just dont do. I was royally fucked over by a so called "friend" years ago. I know, because she told me at the time, that her eldest child isnt her (now ex) husbands child. But the DD doesnt know that and although I have been told that her ex H has had his suspicions over the years, he never said anything. I could use that information to get back at my ex friend, but I would never dream of doing it. I would destroy two lives if I did that, and that would make me far worse than anyone who ever did anything against me.

Its the lowest of the low.

Its the lowest of the low. - yeah, pretty much, Bogeyface. I was chilled by her complete lack of guilt over what she'd done. I think she sees it as a war between her and her ex & his family, so anything she does in this context to the family as a whole is OK.

My ex fancied (and as i found out later) was shagging around with a minor local Am-Dram 'celeb'. I lined the cat litter tray with OW's newspaper cutting and feigned innocence when he noticed her smiling through a pile of cat shit!! Grin

Me and my friend "Naughty Jeanette" (who, if she is out there, I would love to hear from) worked in a very, very dull insurance office years ago. We were bored shitless. There was a man there, let's call him Dave (can't remember his name) who spent a lot of the time telling us how important he was, boasting about his job. He had a special job. You got free gifts with every insurance policy: kettle, toaster, radio etc. His job was.....drum roll......when the gadgets were sent back to the company because they broke because they were shit, he had to plug them in and check if they worked.

For this, he required a degree. He got a new car and told us all about it, in detail, daily, hourly (in between working those plugs like a pro). We, however, did not (yet) have degrees, nor were we driving Ford Sierras or Boasting about their perfect new paint job. So, Naughty Jeanette and I absolutely did not advertise his brand new car for sale at a much reduced price in the local paper with the immortal line, "Bodywork tatty, hence low price". He was incandescent and, pre Internet, had to conduct an old fashioned legwork type of investigation. He was told it was two blondes..........but there are lots of blondes. He took dozens and dozens of calls.....

I loved Naughty Jeanette.

I may have gone into someone's room in halls of residence while they were away for a weekend,sprinkled grass seed into the shape of a penis and watered it.

They kept me up every night for 4 months while I was suffering with chronic fatigue. I'd begged them not to play music after midnight, cried a lot and reported him to night security. The latter didn't work because one of the security guards went into his room and listened to music and smoked pot with him.

I enjoyed the thought of him having to mow his carpet.
