@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow

This happened to an ex of a relative. He was a contractor in computers and had a very inflated sense of his own worth. Got a gig at a big private bank in the city. Relative had friends working their.This was in the 80s and they had a Doorman and a lift operator. First day got in lift with an older man. Was very rude and disparaging about Doorman and then very rude to lift guy who he’d asked for wrong floor. Older man strikes up conversation where ex bigs himself up. Walk to reception on their floor. Where older man says “mr x won’t be staying, he obviously cannot be polite to other people. I’ll be sure to pass your name to other businesses as someone to avoid.” receptionist says “yes, mr name of bank.”

Wow. Some people really are their own worst enemies.

I was at uni, in my second year. I was walking home with then DP and a good male friend who lived near us. Some idiot walked past and made a comment about the 2 of them "sharing the fat pig when they got home". I saw red. I marched after him asking him where he got off speaking to people like that. If he had something to say about my appearance he should come and say it to me. He looked mortified, kept his head down the whole walk and as it turns out lived near us. Every time I saw him after that I made a point of making eye contact and greeting him. He always had the good grace to look ashamed. I really hope it made him think twice about doing something like that again.

@Nanajadus yes it was the whole journey 😔.
We had a split journey and this was the second train.

This happened many years ago but still makes me chuckle.
Background :
I worked in a public sector role and my immediate boss really didn't like me, or indeed any woman who didn't fawn all over him. He was also quite short and hated having to look up (literally) to me when he spoke to me. The offices where we worked were open plan and his office had been built in the centre of it with windows placed so he could see what everyone was doing.
As there was no staff room, or area where we could go for breaks or lunch, most of us brought our own lunch from home and ate at our desks. This meant that we were often interrupted by phone calls, people from other offices popping in with queries etc. And the the Walkman was invented ( I said it was a long time ago) and I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas. I took to using it at lunchtimes as it clearly indicated I was at lunch. Boss hated it. Mostly because he was jealous as he didn't have one but also because it gave him another reason to dislike me. He used to come storming out of his office complaining about the noise. My colleagues assured me there was no noise. A couple of weeks of this was beginning to wear me down. One day, I was reading my book, listening quietly to my Walkman when he came storming out and started to have a good at everyone in the office. I hadn't realised that everyone on the same lunch as me had also brought throw Walkmans to work and were listening to them. Boss ranted on about the noise and how he was going to have them banned from the office etc. Then my work colleagues stood up. All they had were earphones, no Walkmans so clearly, no noise! I will never forget the lovely shade of puce that developed on his face as he realised they had 'had' him. It didn't stop him hating me or getting at me whenever he could, but I was able to let most of it wash over me by remembering that very, very red face. And I got my own revenge a year or so later when I left to go to another employment.

She was in her town centre, there was a car parked in the town square, driver pulls ashtray out and empties it onto the street, she saw red, said I think you've dropped something, scooped up the fag ends and dropped them through his sun roof. You can say that was wrong but I thought it was brilliant

I agree - that WAS brilliant!

Had a miserable neighbour who complained constantly about us parking in our own driveway opposite her house... won't go into details but my landlord concreted a post into the ground to show it was our driveway and before it dried I drew a big arrow in it pointing at her house and wrote the word cunt in it. I don't live there anymore but she does and it's still there over 10years later. Beautiful

Not beautiful at all. I'm surprised that someone hasn't complained and got this painted over. I'd find that very offensive even if it wasn't about me. I'd hate to be walking past it with my children, or looking out of my window at it.

Not really karma or revenge but funny...
Many years ago, my dad and his friend (both long dead now) would do odd jobs to top up their meagre incomes. It was often decorating or electrical work for wealthier, older ladies who lived near to where they worked. They were hardworking, reliable and reasonable and often got asked to help with other small things like fitting new light switches.
One evening they were asked to help with a "soirée" and had turned up in their smartest suits to stand around with trays. Generally it went well apart from one man being extremely rude to my Dad and his mate.
After about the fifth or sixth insult, Dad leaned in and quietly told the man to fuck off. The man then roared, "What did you say?"
Dad went into full overpolitness, "Me sir? Nothing sir. What did you think I said?"
Of course, the man was then on the back foot as he didn't want to repeat what he thought he'd heard.

Loud rude man was banned from future events.Dad and his friend got a bonus for having to deal "with all that upset."

I texted BTP re buskers/beggar on a tube train, gave them time, station, direction. I was on that thrain 30 mins never saw the police. Got a reply three hours later asked what line I was on, that info had already been supplied. Replied "don't bother".

If I was running a company, and one of them was wearing a company t-shirt while acting a twat, I would like to know about it. Could be really damaging for my brand. Especially for a small local business.

And some of the cases where someone has complained and someone was fired - I assume it was the straw that broke the camels back? A company wouldn’t risk a law suit surely.

Instant karma one - for me as I was being a dick!
Pre dc I had a little convertible, as I was driving toward some traffic lights a lady was coming out of her driveway, smiling and waiting for me to let her out - instead of letting her out I went around the nose of her car, promptly stalled and car absolutely refused to start for what seemed like forever- long enough for her to get out of her car and offer assistance, as there was no roof there was nowhere for me to hide.
The car started again with no problem once the universe deemed i had learnt my lesson.

That’s brilliant and I love you can admit to it! I remember once walking to work on a snowy day, I audibly sniggered at a man who slipped on a patch of ice. Then slipped on it myself. That showed me!

Notusuallydown, an excellent and ancient urban legend.

Wow, that really told them 🤣

@casschops - you win the best response prize! 👏👏👏 very classy!

Gobbycop I know with hindsight it was childish but I was annoyed at the time and gave me pleasure!!

@Namechange2020onceagain

In the 4th year at school and was waiting in the hallway to get into a classroom. Another sex pest pupil was making vile remarks about my body and went into some detail. I just stood there with a smile and waited. Our Head of Year was standing behind him and heard everything. She gave him detention for a week and he had to learn about equality and how to not be a pervert. Lovely

Nice one! I wonder how he managed to explain to his parents the reason why he'd been given a week's worth of detentions?

won't go into details but my landlord concreted a post into the ground to show it was our driveway and before it dried I drew a big arrow in it pointing at her house and wrote the word cunt in it
surely the landlord would go balistic at that?
I also would be offended if I had to walk past that every day with my children: think on next time and I recommend you remove it before you get reported for public offence

I dont believe this for one second sorry. I rent out a property, I’d be livid if a tenant did something so horrible and gross to my property. It would also be hard to rent out that property afterwards with that so I don’t believe a landlord would just be all teehee! Let’s leave it there!

On the motorway with a car full of children. Car behind me tailgating me, honking his horn, trying to get me to move over (actually from inside to outside lane because he was exiting, outside lane was full anyway). When he gets the chance speeds past me and then right in front of me dangerously.
What he didn’t know was the car behind was actually an undercover police car who put their lights on and went after him.
All the kids were cheering. Best bit of day out obviously

Something has just happened to me that made me think of this thread!

Went to collect shopping at Asda and driving out of the collection point you turn in to a one way bit of the car park. Another car comes down it as I'm going and I had to pull over so it could pass without crashing in to me. It was an old man and an old lady and he wound his window down to say something. I, thinking he was maybe going to apologise, wound down my window in time to hear him shouting at me about it being one way, calling me a stupid girl and then the wife started shouting about how I was dangerous. I just said that yes it was one way but they were the ones driving wrong. He shouted a very loud how dare you and actually got out his car and went to walk over to the sign to show me I was wrong. Another man who had been watching walked over to the sign too and shouted very loudly "Sir, are you ok? Are you confused? Do you need help? Can you see you're driving the wrong way?" The woman in the car shouted at him to get back in the car and then the second man shouted over "I think you need to apologise to the lady you've just screamed at and almost crashed in to, don't you?"

I smiled and waved at the other man and then told the old man to go fuck himself when he got back to his car and growled (actually growled!) at me!

[quote aspiringdatascientist]My friend's story.

Her DS managed to catch chickenpox, then flu with a high fever and then some sort of vomiting bug - all in the span of two weeks.
The school got very suspicious about his attendance and insisted on a home visit. One of the admin team came, declared that the boy absolutely did not look ill to her and gave my friend a lecture about managing maternal anxiety and the importance of education. Then she kneeled next to the boy and started a "you should really go back to school, buddy", just to receive a projectile explosive vomit back all over her nice blouse

He did eventually brave it and start calling himself again though.

But isn't that what caused all of his problems in the first place?

There's a disconcertingly high number of arseholes on this thread, keen to share their obnoxious behaviour for others to high five them on.
Some of you need to take a long hard look at yourselves.

This one is probably apocryphal, but it's a good story. A driver who was being aggressively tailgated is reported to have stopped his car in the middle of a very narrow road, got out, opened the boot, then calmly strolled to the car behind, gestured towards the open boot, and asked the driver: "Would you like to get in?"

The tailgater's response is, sadly, not recorded.

Flying from NYC the woman in front of me put her seat back and refused to put it up when the food came around so I could access my table. Hostess comes over and asks her to put it up and got a mouthful of abuse. She had the whole row to herself and I said if she moved to the middle seat she could have her seat reclined because my DD was in the middle seat, and she was small, so it wouldn't matter about the seat being back.
Still shouted that she wasn't moving.
Then DD woke up, stood up on her seat and projectile vomited all over her. If she had moved she would have be in the clear.
The hostess came over to help strip and clean DD up, there was a lot, and woman starts screaming that she needs cleaned up. The air hostess gave her a square of kitchen roll and pointed out where the toilets were.
