To ask for payback ideas

[Justdessertsforyou]

A ‘colleague’ at work went behind my back around a planned project and took all of the credit for 6 months worth of work I had done.
They are the kind of individual known for this and is disliked throughout the office due to their superiority complex and constant ego.
If anyone tries to raise concerns with those boss they claim bullying (absolutely not true, they just don’t like being challenged)

I know AIBU for asking for help but I need payback ideas, the pettier the better. E.g little things to inconvenience or annoy them. Nothing criminal but open to any suggestion

They used to put the punched paper holes into people’s umbrellas in one of my office jobs.

They also used to change their settings to white font on white background so they thought their pc wasn’t working.

Take a screen shot of their desktop. Then change the background picture to the screenshot and move all their folders and files into one folder at the bottom of the screen. Watch as they get increasingly frustrated trying to click on any of the icons.

Also change the left and right mouse function.

Ooh, related to needbetter's idea - signing them up for work related marketing calls e.g. by using their details when using reports - so annoying!

When my brother was about 10, him and the girl next door used to sign each other up for free samples like she ordered him free tampons!

LonginesPrime it was worth the hours minuets that two of us spent making them , post it motes add a nice colourful touch.
Putting them in a brolly is a great idea !

I know someone who stuck a headset mouthpiece up his bum and put it back on the desk for the office bully to put back on

Spike their tea/coffee with laxatives.

Remove the mouse from his desk (so annoying when that happens!).

But definitely, as PP said, raise the "Do you want me to help you as you obviously liked all my ideas and work on Project X?".

Once it gets a bit cooler /wetter save up all the paper dots that come out of a hole punch and put them in his hood

We used to do that to the office 'emergency' umbrella that kept being nicked anonymously.

I had someone who liked to take credit for my work. I started sending it via pdf and had the file location printed - which includes my name on a shared drive. She wasn't IT literate enough to be able to change it from pdf to word so couldn't pass it off as her own

Thank you for all the amazing ideas!!

We don’t technically work in an office together so all the great things about desks can’t be done (boo)

But I have them plenty of catalogues to their home address and I’m thinking of a free ads type advert with a super cheap car and his phone number....

Thankfully my manager knows very well that it was my work but the business I work in never takes any HR action irrelevant of behaviours etc.

Keep the ideas coming I love them!

Also going to go order a glitter bomb right now

Also desperately thinking of how I can send them something in the post because the fart in the envelope is bloody genius

This guy is awesome! www.27bslash6.com/f26a.html

Thee are some great ideas here!

Gumtree for for his pretend car sale?

Porsche 911 for sale. Low mileage, 2yrs old. Almost immaculate inside, just a few questionable stains from the occasion I got a bit enthusiastic sheep watching. Alloys slightly scuffed due to parking struggles.

Bought as penis extension, for sale as now I’m just a repulsive bloke with a nice car. Quick sale needed because I’m shit at my job, my credit is maxed out and I’m struggling to pay for my prescriptions for chronic crabs, never mind car payments. £5 ono. Please call 123 456 789 and ask to speak to Mr Ball-less.

Send him a card saying "congratulations" and stuff the card and the envelope with glitter and those little dots from the hole punch. Make sure his desk fan is on.
Get a glue stick and carefully put a ring of it on his desk phone earpiece.
Unplug the curly wire of the phone from the base. It will ring but it will not be connected.
Remove all the pens from his desk and refill the pen pots on everyone else's desks. Repeat after he leaves the office, even for a pee.
Arrogant twats like to look intelligent so will put the end of their pen in their mouth when they think they are being watched. Think about what you can do with that one!
Blue tack a key or two on his keyboard so when he logs in, it will not work properly.
Turn off the plug sockets to his desk and wait for IT to tell him he is a twunt.
Glue stick line across the front part if his working area on the desk.
Remove the little black bit on one side of the underside of his keyboard so it won't stand up straight.
Prawns between the bin liner and the bin.
Unscrew the bulb a bit above his desk. Not enough to not work but enough so that connection is loosely made every now and again.
Dog poo where he puts his feet. He will not know if he brought it in or not. Hopefully colleagues nearby will do some loud, disgusted outcrys.

I’d make sure everyone knew what they’d done. Make a formal complaint and cause as much of a stink as possible. And make friends with the IT technician - they can make sure this person’s computer doesn’t get backed up and they lose all their files.

Send her a bag of dicks as she’s a dickhead.

I haven't ever taken vengeance on anyone as I feel like it would cause me more harm either emotionally or karma-wise... but when I was feeling murderous about a neighbour who stole my in laws cat and took it to the pound, declaring it a dangerous stray even though he knew exactly whose cat it was... resulting in poor cat getting stuck there at christmas and nearly ending up euthanized because they didn't find his microchip, and catching kennel cough... my idea was to rub raw chicken on their car door handle. If the cat hadn't have made it home and recovered, I probably would have done it. Some people just deserve salmonella.

Given you have his address....
Go on Rightmove / Zoopla and contact all the local agents asking for a free valuation to be done on the property. You then also request to view a number of properties to buy and rent within whatever budget.
You go on the PPI websites and request free information pack to his address, as well as the no win no fee solicitors... which you never get rid of.

You guys are evil good!

I fully plan to let everyone know it was my idea, im not one to sit and say nothing. But it’s totally shitty of him to try it as usual so these inconveniences will be satisfying.

Babyshark, something tells me I want to hear some stories from you!

Tape the rocker down on their phone so when they pick it up it still rings.

Old school flaming paper bag of dog shit on their door step

Custard pie above the door when you know they're about to arrive

"disliked throughout the office"

So really you owe it to your coworkers to involve them in some sort of group stunt, ideally a public one so they can share the enjoyment.

Do they attend meetings? Perhaps you can find a way to embarrass them in a meeting. For example, table a document which appears to have been authored by them, containing a really stupid proposal. You might even intercept the meeting agenda and insert an item about the proposal. When they say they didn't write it, observe innocently that they must have, because it has their name on it [just like the idea they stole from you]. Get a few of your cronies to look confused and say to Evil Coworker, "But of course this is your idea. You told me all about it yesterday, don't you remember?"
