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?

I lived in the deep south of the US for a short while, and the town I lived in was pretty much the real life version of Shelford. I was in the middle of chemo/rounds of surgery and other nasty stuff.

Our neighbours decided they didn't like our "beware of the dog" sign, which a bylaw required us to have on our property. The couldn't even see the bloody sign unless they trespassed onto our property as the house was surrounded by trees and set back from the road. Apparently the (legally required) sign was scaring their children, their guests and visitors and was lowering the tone of the neighbourhood.

We had lots of passive aggressive notes in the mailbox (including advice for me to buy a wig as it wasn't fair on my husband me looking so masculine with no hair ), which I ignored, and not long after they started taking our sign down from the post it was on. To do that they had to trespass thirty feet onto our land.
One day I was feeling rubbish, and was so enraged by it all and at having to keep buying new signs that I smeared our dogs poo all over the back of the sign, so that it couldn't be seen from the front but the second anyone tried to remove it they'd get a load of dog shit all over their hands.
About an hour later the shrieking started . Never had problems with the sign being removed again.

Stepford, not Shelford. I have no idea where Shelford is

Surely dawn was talking about siblings, not her kids?

Filled myself with water during the day, then later urinated in a friend's chicken curry, simmered and placed back in the fridge. This after she diluted my Coke with water(happened a few times). I was a poor student and planned every food item I bought to last me a week.

When i was about 11 i went swimming with some mates at our local pool - which is a square hole in the ground, no fun stuff for kids to do / slides etc.

It was one of the family sessions with no lane ropes or anything.

There was a woman swimming lengths and giving dirty looks to all the kids playing and swimming widths and splashing about.

She had clearly had her hair done (can you see where this is going? ) it was in a bun and the ends had been hairsprayed into a 'fan' above it. Tbf she looked ridiculous - even though this was the 90s and everyone looked a bit ridiculous...

Anyway, as she swam past us and huffed and rolled her eyes I 'accidentally' splashed a massive wave of water over the back of her head, completely destroying her perky little hairstyle! She just swam to the side and got out.

I felt awful instantly, but looking back, what kind of moron goes length swimming in a family pool session with heavily styled hair?!

Oh, and not me but an acquaintance discovered her new husband was cheating with a woman from their social circle. So she bought a payg phone and text him and the OW saying that it was their new numbers - so when they thought they were texting each other they were texting her!

This went on for a few weeks - God knows how she kept it up, when one day the OW text 'him' saying to pop over and see her, so the wife did!

She pulled up outside the OW parent's house and knocked the door - had it out with OW in front of her parents and drove off!

The OW phoned her as she was driving off thinking she was going to get the husband on the line - so she got another bollocking!

I think I'm in love with some of you woman, I love a bit of petty extra-ness!

also JustARandomUser: shagging the mum, literally brilliant, I nearly cried with laughter!!

Yes it was my sisters

Should have clarified with DTwinSisters They were absolute terrors and my "D"M used to indulge their shitty behaviour constantly because "their twins and they're special" so 18 year old hormonal me thought I'd teach them a lesson after a long, long spate of them ruining my stuff with no consequences for it.

*they're twins ffs I've been up since 4am with an angry teething baby

These are all ruining my faith in humanity

When people leave undeserved negative feedback on eBay, which thankfully is rare, I post them lots of random leaflets in a large envelope and don't put enough postage on so that they'll have to collect the package from their sorting office and pay the handling charge, I have no idea if anyone has bothered to collect it.

XH moved in with OW after I told him to leave. I made him take the hideous big TV with him (far too big for our narrow room) and he told me he was getting his bank statements sent there. He even gave me the address! My best friend discovered that OW lived in a council house on full benefits, so called the local authority and gave them all the details, his name , description, etc. The person she was talking to said 'oh do you know this person?' and she replied that he had just shafted her best friend, at which point the person laughed out loud. My friend, of course, had not given her name. LA said they would look into it. Within 2 weeks, OW had thrown XH out on the street, as he could not provide as good a life style as living on benefits gave her! He even rang me to say she had thrown him out - quite what he was expecting I'm not sure (probably that I'd feel sorry for him and take him back - yeah right!) and I was really cold talking to him, while all the while doing a mad dance of glee! I couldn't get him off the phone fast enough so I could call my best friend and tell her the brilliant result!

On the other hand, I was bullied out of a job by the area manager (who had less than no idea how to manage anything!). I didn't complain, as it was a small company and everyone was pally with everyone else. However, Karma was on the ball, and when she had to reapply for her position a few months later, she was turned down flat! oh dear, how sad, never mind...

Sorry DawnOfTheMombie I read as your kids and was

My dd 1 wee wee'd on me whilst changing her so I put her leggings on her head like a hat and took a pic ready for her 18th birthday only 17 years to wait

AlpacaPicnic I do the same to Dh with the crappy cutlery, but I double down by giving him the dinner plate I hate too. The trusting fool hasn't a clue

Mind you, nor does he care.

My parents divorced after my dad had an affair. When I was 15 I was working in my Saturday job in a bakery when the other woman came in and gave me her cv to apply for a job there. I don't think she knew me, but I knew her. I put her cv in the bin and my manager never saw it

My DH's ex had an affair, but it did not stop her from being a vindictive cow when she left him.

She removed fuses and cut wires to pretty much everything electrical. The coffee machine, the various plugs, cut off the plug to the hoover etc.

I've since recommended that to friends as I thought it was so deliciously evil.

My old boss was shagging one of the women I worked with (he was married with 2 kids) so she thought it meant she had to do nothing but print 1 report a month and book the hotel rooms they shagged in (he lived 400 miles away from our office so had a hotel 4 nights per week.)

She was also vile to other staff, raising unjustified grievances, bullying junior staff to the point they left, continually late etc. HR were also worse than useless (I tried to be a good girl at first!)

I started small, randomly turning sections of reports upsidedown after she put them together but before she bound them.

Then cancelled a lunch she'd booked for bosses big meeting.

Put sugar in her tea instead of sweetener.

Hid bosses expense claim (oh yes, he was expensing the shag pad).

Spat in his coffee a lot, deliberately ordered food he hated when I did the lunch orders. Lots of petty stuff.

The last thing I did on the day I left I cancelled the hotel rooms for the next few weeks and rebooked them in random hotels then deleted the confirmations from email.

I do know of one woman who threw all her ex's suits in the garden pond, then got them out and put them in binliners for him to collect. He took a couple of weeks to turn up for them by which time they were fermenting nicely!
