A little Friday fun............. what's your best revenge story?! Either on a partner or friend etc.

I've never actually "got revenge" on someone as I have a guilty conscience and I know I'd feel terrible afterwards!!! But always found other people's stories funny/interesting/imaginative!

Unemployment is no joke. The man didn't owe you a relationship
No.....but he did owe it to her to treat her with some fucking COURTESY and RESPECT when ending the relationship.
He did neither so got his just desserts.
I bet he wasn't the one to lose the money over a wedding that never took place either.

similarly to a previous poster. dad insisted I eat the boiled egg he had prepared, even though I still felt really sick.

he was really, really quiet as he cleaned vomit out of the sofa.

How do you know any of that, cant?
If a woman said on here she didn't want to be with her fiancé anymore, she'd be advised to leave before any wedding took place to avoid dealing with a tricky divorce and marrying someone under false pretences.
Oh and calm down.

Riven’s husband’s current trilogy is sort of Mallory Towers meets Assassins Creed. I think it’s his best so far.

I inadvertently exposed a colleague's incompetence by asking her to email me the work she wanted me to cover for when she's away.
She gave me a snooty, long winded reply and refused. She copied our boss in the email and boss replied clearly letting her know that they didn't approve.
Poetic justice, and I didn't even need to snitch on her as she did it all herself!

Or you could look at it that he did her a favour. Would she have preferred someone like him to have gone ahead with the wedding and it all go wrong later?
Was she bothered about the relationship or the wedding?
Revenge isn't 'healing' It's negative. Seems like he had a lucky escape too.

Those giving the fiancé a hard time in Nancy's story, I think you would have judged him more if he went ahead with the marriage that he didn't want. Better to break up an engagement than a marriage. It's not like he left her at the alter on the wedding day.

Anyway, he had a lucky escape given Nancy's behaviour afterwards towards him.

years ago when i lived at home i had a falling out with my brother cos he ate my cornetto. i had a strop about it and he found it funny.
i got up early the next morning to go to work and he had left me a note on the kitchen table telling me to wake him up at 7
i wrote a note saying get up its 7 o clock and left it next to his note
he was late for his appointment ha

Sending someone to be stranded in another country is just psychotic!

Aridane · 15/02/2019 18:18

I remember the way the last thread on this went...

xsquared · 15/02/2019 18:20

Aridane, what do you mean?

Giggorata · 15/02/2019 18:29

Not necessarily you, B3stS3rv3dC0ld, but as others have pointed out, we have instances of journos trawling these pages for easy copy...

Anyhoo, mine was a long winded way of saying that living well is the best revenge - not at all newsworthy. 🙂

Evennow · 15/02/2019 18:30

I didn’t intend revenge but it happened anyway... As a recent graduate I went to an employment agency, desperate for work. I listed my qualifications & said I would take more or less any job - clerical, retail, agricultural etc. The guy who interviewed me dismissed me, saying, “You’ll be lucky.” I wrote a letter of complaint (pre computers) and sent it to the branch manager. The manager invited me in, said he had a vacancy and asked if could I start the next week. I later discovered that the interviewer had been sacked (my experience had been the last straw) and I was given his job.

these stories get lifted and copied Why do people always think the Daily Mail etc are 'stealing' the posts. It is Mumsnet who own the copyright to all our posts so it is Mumsnet who choose to sell/allow posts to be used elsewhere in order to promote the site.

I'm guessing that for each column inch of posts sold, it's a pretty lucrative sale and extra traffic to the site as well.

Aridane · 15/02/2019 19:04

xsquared - last time the thread started vaguely light hearted and amusing and then descended into vindictive and unpleasant petty and spiteful acts of revenge and criminality. The thread was pulled

I came home one day and our dog had chewed up on OH headset for his PlayStation.

He then told me, didn't ask, told me that he was going to use my mobile phone headset, I never use it so I wasn't fussed but he could have said please. The not asking riled me enough but I shook it off. I made a comment about saying please, jokingly as it was all playful banter at this moment.

He retaliated by saying he can do whatever the he like a with whatever he wants and I do not get a say.

Now, while he was on the other room setting up his PlayStation, I hid a pair of scissors up my sleeve and ajoutes him to say he's picked up the wrong headphones and the ones he has aren't mine. There was a lot of back and forth until he came in and gave them to me to look at and prove to me they were mine.. Big mistake.

I took the scissors and held the wire firmly between the blades. Watched him squirm and giggle while begging me not to.

I gave out a hopeful sigh, raised my eyebrows in the "don't be rude again" way. He relaxed and SNIP. I cut those bastards in half.

I will treasure the look on his face forever and he has been ever so polite since.

Moral of the story is, don't think your big and clever when it comes to things that are a luxury not a necessity.

Disclaimer: it sounds abusive but we still laugh about it now. He was shocked I did it but at the end of the day they were mine and it doesn't affect his use of the PlayStation other than he can't talk to his mates Grin

For the first few seconds I read this as if 'he' was your dog! Grin

ShortandSweet96 · 15/02/2019 19:17

@screamingvalenta hahaha! I so should have worded it better!

ScreamingValenta · 15/02/2019 19:20

It wasn't your wording; I for some reason missed the 'OH' in your first line and thought you had the world's best talking dog until my brain kicked in! Grin

OrangeJuiceandLemonade · 15/02/2019 19:31

Me too Shock

I wa preying for the dog to be okay Grin

xsquared · 15/02/2019 19:35

Fair enough Aridane

Prawns in the curtain poles.
Coffee in the wash powder
Batteries removed from alarm clock so he was v. Late for work (pre mainstream mobile phone ownership).

When my first marriage was in its last weeks, we'd invited a couple for Sunday lunch. I was making a chilli con carne for 4. Or so I thought.

He went off to the pub to meet them - yes, I know! But I'd virtually given up by then - and rang to say another couple we knew had walked in and he''d invited them, without checking but thought he was being considerate by telling me. I had plenty of kidney beans in stock so I padded the meal out a bit. But he did it another twice, meaning I was now feeding TEN and had to rush to the corner shop to buy more mince and tomatoes.

Ten portions didn't fit into my biggest pan so I had to do some in a smaller pan. Inspiration came - the small pan was his and his alone, complete with an extra shot of chilli. In the shape of another 6 finely chopped chilli peppers.

Everyone arrived for their meal and I happily played the little wifey and served 9 of us from the big pan and him from the small one. As he tasted his he asked everyone if it was too hot. They all said theirs was good so Mr Can'tBeSeenToWimpOut carried on eating, getting redder and sweatier as he ate and finished his bowlful.

He never found out what had happened :)

@LaBelleSausage How on Earth is that revenge?!

Mummylife2018 · 15/02/2019 21:36
