Good revenge stories about nasty strangers

[BananasBananas]

We need some good revenge stories to lift our spirits after reading about all the random acts of nastinesses on here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3953798-to-ask-if-a-stranger-has-ever-been-nasty-to-you?msgid=97985195
Post away!

When I passed my test and had my first car i stalled trying to get out of a junction. A driver on the mainroad started shouting at me that I needed to get a license and shouldn't be driving, women drivers etc. As he was shouting at me he wasn't looking where he was going and crashed

Posted to soon. Should say
Crashed into the back of a bus at the bus stop.

When I was a shy awkward teenager I was at a party, there was a group of loud super confident lads - quite posh, very concerned with their image - you get the picture. One of them loudly asked me lots of embarrassing sexual questions in front of all of his braying, jeering mates. I just blushed and looked at the floor as everyone watched. Years later the same dickhead reappeared because my
family member 's partner was his work colleague. I was at a party in a lovely venue surrounded by my family and friends when in walks the dickhead, who knew no one except my relative - the work colleague that dickhead needed to impress. Relative says to me "Have you met Dickhead?" I looked him up and down and said "No" then walked away.

Dickhead had been boasting about how we were old friends to try and get in with work colleague who was my relative. Karma.

The only reason why there are two adjacent posts is because I accidentally hit send halfway through what would have been a single post.

That's what I assumed you'd done, Jackdaw

I think Monty must have commented before reading your 2nd instalment.

No shit Sherlock!

These stories are even more depressing than the original thread. Contacting workplaces? How fucking ridiculous.

I agree. Some of these go way too far, particularly the one where the woman stamped on a girl's bare toes with a stiletto heel, and the one with the redirected post, which will have got the man into debt and serious trouble

Karma story here I bumped into an old friend and we went for a coffee to catch up. She was telling me the terrible issues she was having with her new kitchen and how awful the person had been who had been out to inspect the issues, really nasty and patronising and a bit sleepy, probably because she was quite young with a toddler (and actually looked even younger than she was). I asked who the kitchen company was - it was the one where my brother was the UK Sales Director! A sacking followed by a huge discount on the kitchen, free appliances and an apology by the Regional Manager and a bunch of flowers

What a nice ending to a bad experience.

This wasn't revenge, but a nice bit of karma.
Horrible woman in Tesco cut me up (literally shoved in front) to get to the till first, smirked and unloaded all her shopping while still smirking.
I went to the next one and decided to let it go. I took a while to get through my till, but as I left, the woman was still there- her till had broken or something and a supervisor was trying to fix it while she stood there fuming. I have to say I smiled and nodded to her as I passed!

I don't believe this happened but if it did then you are a nasty piece of work and should be ashamed of yourself

If a man pulls up next to a mother and children after cutting her up, and says she's a cunt, and he hopes he crashes and dies - he deserves to lose his job. Entirely appropriate amount of karma.

Same for the women who went to shit behind people's garages and got a dog turd in return. Except they probably wiped it off and threw those tissues on the ground too. I'm just accepting that the feral have free rein at the moment and am hiding away as much as possible until September comes.

@SomeHalfHumanCreatureThing

Loving this thread. A horrible neighbour had sent me an nasty anonymous note (but left a detail which gave them away), and I need some petty little way to get back at them.

If you can, sign them up to all sorts of things online.... trigger the junk mail

Yeah, some of these are really uncomfortable. I agree that train woman was rude to have her music playing so loudly and to swear, but stepping on her bare foot with a stiletto is actual assault - it could've broken one of her toes and probably left her with bruises.
The kitchen one is also a bit awful. A friend tells you someone was rude to them - you don't know if they're embellishing a bit, or what's going on in the employee's life - and you get them fired? I really hope that isn't true.

Some of these are hilarious, but some are hugely disproportionate responses to minor transgressions and are just awful. It’s always a bit funny, though, to read posts where the person is so proud of having done something so jaw droppingly inappropriate or nasty, clearly expecting a different reception to the one that they get...

Yes, s one of these are awful. I like the karma ones. But stamping on peoples feet in stilettos or getting someone sacked based on hearsay (why couldn't the friend have complained to the company herself?) are awful.

These threads are always the same and often end up deleted. Many of the 'hilarious' acts of revenge are far worse than the original act.

I would assume an investigation took place with the kitchen one so I think outrage at the poster is probably misplaced.

I agree. The funniest ones are where the persons own actions come back on them to humiliate them.
Stomping on someone’s bare foot with a stiletto on purpose is assault and could have broken a toe. How on earth is that just punishment for having music slightly too loud on public transport? By that rationale if someone is rude to me is it ok to just punch them in the face? Because I don’t think so. Violence is never warranted for something like that unless it’s in self defence. If it was, we would all be going around punching and slapping and kicking each other for being annoying. Doesn’t really seem like a great idea to me 🙄

I was once cut up on a dual carriageway, that could have been a serious accident if I hadn't braked. I got details off the van and contacted his employer.

Given the poor driving, too damn right I was going to call. This idiot needed a shock about the driving. I received a call later that told me the driver had been disciplined.

And the calls to employers I've seen on this thread also deserved reporting. Someone who is being vile to another person isn't someone I'd want working for me. I'd be worried they'd be nasty towards colleagues and customers.

Exactly! @Russellbrandshair. There’s nothing like poetic justice. It makes me feel warm and cosy.

Exactly. Plus, how hard is it not to be a dick? Just dont be a dick, then you wont have to worry about your employer getting a call! Telling a mum with a toddler they are a cunt and that you hope they die is absolutely appalling behaviour and I would not have someone like that working for me.

I've remembered another one. Driving along a fairly fast road, towards some traffic lights which leads to the town centre. Car overtakes me (and the car in front which is a driving instructor and pupil) at some speed (I gasped as it was so quick) and then goes the wrong side of the road, AROUND the traffic lights into oncoming traffic. Twice.
He had to slow as was blocked by heavy traffic which I get stuck in and watch the situation unfold. Driving instructor gets out, runs over, pulls the keys out the car through the window just as a police car goes past so he flags them down. Driving instructor had a dash cam
It was honestly the most terrifying piece of driving I've seen, he must have been doing 80 in a 40 zone and the traffic lights thing was just.. speechless
I saw the driver in the back of the police car. More perfect timing than revenge but it was glorious

And the calls to employers I've seen on this thread also deserved reporting.

There's a difference between someone personally calling an employer about an employee who has behaved badly or dangerously; and someone pulling the 'do you know who I am' card to get another person sacked on hearsay.

I was once driving on the duel carriageway. In the fast lane but with cars in the inside lane so nowhere to pull in.
A man in a BMW decided that I wasn't going fast enough (was doing 70) and he sat up my arse flashing his lights and beeping.
Eventually, I was able to pull over and he pulled in front of me and slammed on the brakes so that I nearly went into the back of him.
We stopped at traffic lights a mile or so further down the road and he sat laughing and shouting really horrid, lewd comments at me.
Unfortunately for him, I happened to be being followed by DH's rugby team on their minibus.
Seeing his behaviour, the whole team hopped out of the bus and sat on various bits of his car so that he couldn't move.

I gave him a cheery wave and drove off.

He probably wasn’t, I used to deal with such calls among other complaints for a large telecoms company and we would just send a standard letter or apologetic phone call back in response to these.

When I was a teen I worked in a take away. One of our customers had the worst personal hygenie I've ever encountered, they always paid with warm sticky money I always put it in a separate drawer of the till then used it as change to anyone who was rude to me.

Once I noticed one of the CF I'd paid the change to putting one of the £1 in her mouth and sucking it..... I'm gagging now at the memory.

In many countries it would be unlawful to sack someone based on hearsay. An employer would end up with all sorts of claims against them. There would have to be a full investigation into whether or not the allegations were true.

In the story about the kitchen surely the company would come out to inspect the kitchen and investigate the complaints rather than firing someone on a whim?
