To ask for your tales of minor revengeful acts (lighthearted)

[JustHereForThePooStories]

A friend's ex has done the most awful thing to her. He's jeopardising her career and his actions have caused her a lot of embarrassment in her workplace. She's a very private person and what he's done has had big implications, to the extent that even the company MD (it's a very large company) knows.
It's 100% vexatious but he's technically not done anything illegal.

I don't know the guy personally. I do know his e-mail address, his name, where he works, and home address.

I'd love to send him a glitter bomb but don't think that's wise.

So, to tide me over while I sit on my hands and prevent myself from signing him up to every type of spam I can imagine, can you tell me decent stories of petty payback?

When visiting a friend in the North one of their other friends was also visiting (we've all known each other since school but never really gotten on, you can't get on with everyone can you?) the other friend proceeded to try and bully me over the weekend which is ridiculous at our ages so when I kindly made her a drink it was with water from the dogs bowl.

Another time DP and I went to visit and she was there again, after becoming increasingly vile in both words and actions DP pissed on her toothbrush before we left (and only told me afterwards), haven't seen my friend since either given the lack of support from her

A lot of these are not very minor!!!

Just remembered another one, which is also ebay related. I woman I worked with was always taking liberties, doing personal stuff in work time and generally being a nasty bitch.

One day when we were particularly busy, she was chatting on the office phone to her sister, asking her to bid on an ebay item for her because the site was blocked at work. She gave her sister the username and password, which I made a note of.

When I got home I logged into her account and added an assortment of butt plugs and ball gags to her watch list as well as a CD single of Meredith Brooks "I'm a Bitch" and a fake plastic turd.

I was in an especially puerile mood that day.

God, I'm glad I'm not wired like some of you. I just don't have it in me for any of this shit!
Earwigging,making mental notes and writing it down and then logging into someone's account and adding turds and butt plugs to their watch list?
All because you don't like them and they get on your tits?
Just why?
Must take up a lot of negative headspace.

We had a horrible history teacher in school. Every time he left the room, we would move the book mark in his novel. Petty, but it made us laugh!

I was groped by a bloke at work when I was 21, he grabbed my bum and rubbed his erect cock against me. It was in the 80s and I knew there was no point in complaining about him. I was responsible for expense claims and he worked late in the day and put them on my desk after everyone had gone so for two years i shredded every other one and if they weren't authorised I would take out a receipt so that item would get deleted. It cost him thousands over the two years.

Shinycat "I can't wait for the sister thread of major revenge "

Me neither; there are some scary people on this thread.

Some of these are awful!
If I'm pissed off with dh I buy the wrong brand of ham for his sandwiches.
I feel like a saint compared to most of these

I was mightly pissed off with someone I had to deal with in a semi-professional capacity.

So I started signing all my emails to her with plain "Regards." That showed her...

Ha ha I do that too NCSpanner

If I'm really pissed off I'll even lose the "Hi" at the beginning.

So petty

I may or may not have also filled someone's door locks with super glue when they wronged me...

I changed the windows start up melody on my ex bosses computer to the Camel Toe Song - the 14 minute long version. You can't (or couldn't at the time) turn the volume down or cancel it so he had to listen to the whole 14 minutes.

Same boss you'd think he'd learn we perked up his decaf coffee slowly over time with "rocket fuel" and then, after a few weeks, suddenly switched it back.

Bit tame compared to most of you - you monsters!

Sent my ex a potato in the post

funniest thing I've read in ages!

Earwigging, making mental notes ... all because you don't like them and they get on your tits? Just why?

I'm not sure you could call it earwigging when she is sitting at the desk next to me talking in a loud voice on work's phone in work's time giving out passwords for everyone to hear.

And I was generalising when I said she was a bitch - I could go into detail about what she did to me, how it affected me and caused me to have to take time out of work, undergo counselling, ultimately leave that job and never go back to office work in the 7 years since, but dwelling on this does indeed take up a lot of "negative headspace."

I'm shocked by a lot of these, there's a lot of unhinged people on mumsnet!

I had a couple of dates with a guy, who then blew our date off on a Friday night because he had to visit his parents.

I went out with my friends instead and he was in the same club with a group of his mates.

I pulled his mate and the look on his face when he saw was brilliant.

I had a colleague who liked to sabotage my dieting. He'd "accidentally" make me tea and coffee with a ton of sugar instead of sweetener and if I asked him to grab me a light lunch he'd bring back a ciabatta, share bag of crisps and bad of chocolate and act all offended if I didn't eat it he regularly told me I was skinny enough and should be eating proper food so I'm not sure it was out of revenge...

Weirdly we ended up being good mates...

Oh my god Catra that's hilarious! Just brilliant 😂

I don't have any revenge stories of my own unfortunately, but I'm definitely enjoying reading these.

I used to work in the Student Union bar whilst at Uni.

A friend of a friend who was from the same home town as me had her boyfriend staying one weekend.

He was the most vile racist person and had been part of group of boys who had bullied my brother. He came to the bar to order his drink - by this time I had told all of my co workers why I disliked him.

They spent the whole night making up his pints from the drip trays.

On the properly minor level of things...

When DH pisses me off I make sure I give him the worst cutlery. The plastic handle monstrosity from argos. And I make sure the knife and fork are from different sets so they don't match.

I think he cares not one jot - but it makes me feel superior!

This was when I was about 18 and one of my friends was just undermining and taking the piss out of me to get cheap laughs so me and another girl licked all the cutlery in her drawer when everyone else went outside for a cig

Years ago an acquaintance had a party at his parents house, it was a flashy place but he went on and on about how nice their house was and wouldn't let anyone set drinks down or have fun, I'm unsure why he had a party there to begin with.

I moved all the pictures on the walls around, they had loads in one of the bathrooms that were the same size so I just swopped them round.
Always wondered if his mum noticed.

Obvs. I'm nowhere near your league!

With autocorrect I changed "ok" to "potato"

This is the best

But trademarking your husbands name so your SIL cannot use it for her buisness! That really nasty.

At our school sports day we had it (for some reason) in a field which was full of cow pats.

When the girl who bullied me for 2 years when I was between 10 and 12, slipped and landed flat on her arse in one, and then cried - big rolling tears all down the cheeks - I laughed. Openly. Quite hard.

I'm smiling fondly thinking about it. She was a cow of the highest order with all the empathy of a cheese sandwich - was so satisfying seeing how she liked being humiliated. Not much, as it turned out.

When I went to collect my stuff from the home of a cheating ex, I accidentally packed the remote control for every gadget he owned....tvs, DVD player, games consoles, hifi system......petty I know but knowing how gadget crazy he was it would have driven him mad....
