Best/worst/untraceable revenge

[namechangeforwrongdoing]

Just tell me the best (worst?) but most untraceable acts of revenge/comeuppance that you've heard....Asking for a friend.....

What is wrong with people? hmm. Seriously, where do people learn to behave like this? God help you.

I know, it sounds like something out of Shameless. Not my best moment. But we hated each others guts by that point, and I can't honestly say I'm not proud...

Yup it is. Unfortunately their solicitor contacted my solicitor who contacted me so I can’t just ignore and block.

Of course I could graciously help, polish my halo and then, months down the line, return to this thread and choose an idea if I still felt like it…😁

I probably will let her sweat for a bit, then help and just move on to be honest. The person in question is such a bitch, I really think that living with herself must be like living with a stink she can’t get rid of because it’s her own. And I don’t want to be contaminated any more than I have to be.

FFS this thread is nuts. I hope most of the posts are lying/bragging or there are a lot of unhinged people around committing crimes out of spite!

I also believe the best revenge is living well (sorry)

I imagined sending a Valentine’s card to my former friend who cheated with my STBEH. She was still with her husband and I liked the thought of the shit it would stir if he found it. Didn’t do it though as their marriage is none of my business even though she helped to ruin mine 😊

Years ago I worked for a horrible boss who bullied everyone who worked for him. A few of us were all leaving our jobs at the same time and our parting gift was to report him to HMRC for various things. He ended up having to pay a hefty fine!

I peed in the OW's shampoo and conditioner bottles when I went to pick up my stuff from my ex's house. I also did BAD things to their toothbrushes. It felt good!

I think if I ever upset anyone, I’ll be sleeping with my toothbrush under my pillow after reading some of these.

I can't say I've heard of any first hand, occasionally read about such things in novels, etc. Revenge seems so ugly to me, it achieves nothing.

Actually I do have a petty revenge for cheating ex friend. Her name sounds like an initial (think Jay, Kay, Elle etc). I play a game on my mobile that involves sorting a pile of items and letters into pairs - total waste of time but it’s quite relaxing - whenever her ‘name’ comes up I find it quite satisfying to leave it until last 🤣

For ages I put gone off milk in my housemates milk, so she always had turned milk.

Signed someone up for hourly emails from right move to their work email. Kept doing it when they'd unsubscribed.

Can I be boring and say ‘living a good life’?

I was bullied mercilessly at school. Emotionally, physically. Even the teachers were useless.

I want to say that these are my markers for success and I don’t see people without these as ‘failures’.

I own my 4 detached home, drive an Audi paid for in cash, I have a happy marriage and beautiful children. I earn thousands of pounds per month doing something I love - last month I made over £15,000.

And my bullies? Well, their lives haven’t gone this way.

My DH and I met while on holiday. He'd been seeing a woman prior to the trip we met on, and went home and told her it was over, he'd met someone else and wanted to explore the new relationship. A few months on, I moved into his flat. Her revenge for dumping her - a box of books from a book club with titles such as 'How to Kill Your Lover', 'Cheats Won't Survive', and various other titles along a similar vein. Not content with that, she then sent him a card telling him that she had an STD and that he and I should get ourselves checked - it was all lies. She then ordered a taxi to come to the house to pick him up at 3am. She visited in the middle of the night and keyed his car. Then finally she came to the flat in the early hours of the morning, rang the bell and started shouting and screaming about what a cheat he was, until finally we had to call the police. Other than the 'keyed' car, we found her various forms of retribution funny, but I did feel sorry for her that she couldn't take him ending the relationship, as it wasn't like he cheated on her really, as he finished the relationship as soon as he got home from the holiday. I'm so glad he did, as we've now been together for 29 years!

But he did cheat on her. Not like she should have done all of that, but he is a cheater.

What is living well, though? It would be most satisfying to sweep past the old school bully into the first class lounge at an airport followed by flunkies wheeling my monogrammed luggage, but that’s not going to happen. (And she wouldn’t recognise me if I did).

The trouble is that for living well to satisfy as much as revenge, you have to be really living well, surely.

4 friends in our close social group. One discovered another was having an affair with her husband.
A few weeks before, affair woman had printed us all out a poem or some such that she thought we would like.
My friend showed up to dinner cool as a cucumber and said 'I found something else you all might be interested in' and proceeded to hand out print outs of lots of messages between Affair woman and her husband. Lots of them slagging us all off as well as ones about them shagging etc.

The affair woman's face was something else. It was awful at the time and got still more awful for my friend afterwards-she had a nervous breakdown and became very ill indeed. But I'll always be glad for her that she had that one little moment of being such a badass.

Plus None of us speak to affair woman anymore and I would imagine she is quite lonely so that's a different sort of revenge I guess.

Some of these are funny but some are borderline criminal. Planting japanese knotwood and releasing pregnant rats is not fair to the poor neighbours and super-gluing someones penis is dangerous

I agree. I posted last night that I was enjoying the thread, however there were only a few funny, satisfying but harmless replies then. It’s moved on a lot since then and Im feeling very uncomfortable with some of the suggestions

I’d like to hear stories where people have had revenge taken on them. Was it terrible? Did you respect your ex (or whoever) more afterwards?

a girl in my old office had a holiday romance behind her boyfriends back. strung them both along for a few months as she was unsure what she wanted to do. boyfriend found out and dumped her. he just disappeared and "got over it" overnight. she got with the new holiday bloke but wasnt happy. it was very much a "look how happy we are" constant facebook photos relationship. they got engaged on Christmas day in front of all her family less than 12 months into dating. wedding was set for 6 months later. wedding day comes and things start going wrong. she gets a phone call from the car company saying they have broken down and wont be coming. she then gets a call from the photographer to say he wont be coming as hes double booked. DJ doesnt show up in the evening. shes absolutley livid. found out weeks later her ex rang these people before the wedding and told them the wedding was off. he then got his friend to ring her on the day to say THEY cancelled (so she wouldnt go looking for them and salvage it last minute). It also turned out he had sent some family members a "change of venue" card a few days beforehand. They had contacted her mum who had rung round and told everyone to ignore it and assumed it was a prank and not mentioned it to the bride in case it stressed her out!! I did wonder if the wedding day issues could have been avoided if she had known someone was trying to ruin her day beforehand.

in this case she did not respect him more and felt the wronged party. marriage ended 18 months later and she blamed the stress of the wedding day. i suspect it was more to do with her budding friendship and long lunches with a guy in the payroll department.

When working as an assistant retail manager I had a horrible, passive aggressive manager. I discovered she was keeping a secret log book of my various faults (eg not making tea the way she liked it, not taping a box up quite correctly, not changing a light bulb quickly enough etc). I was gutted. She eventually left to move abroad and, as her assistant manager, it was up to me to organise a leaving card/present. I did bugger all. Just said a cheerful "byeeeeeee!" as she went out the door on her last day.

Not very dramatic or inspired but it felt good.

@ravenmum

I changed the password on his laptop to the word "COWARD" and the "password hint" to "Word that best describes you". In the end he phoned up and asked what the word was, but I like to think that he tried out a few ideas he thought appropriate first.

Well this is my favourite

My ex was violent and abusive and I left after he assaulted me.
My dad was very, very angry.
One time, my ex took my toddler and wouldn’t give him back. We had to get solicitors etc involved.
My Dad went to do the handover and asked to use the loo. And weed on ex’s toothbrush 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

He didn’t tell me about it for years because he knew that I would be angry at stooping to that level, but I do love my Dad 😂

Don't do the poo one.

A former colleague of mine, a beautiful woman in every sense, had a stalker who sent a poo in the post to her work one day. Utterly horrific

Please think twice on revenge and if it's really deserved

I’m deeply uncomfortable at many of these. To ruin perfectly good possessions, waste peoples
time, ruin their health in the pursuit of revenge. Rise above it and be the bigger person.

@edwinbear

I can’t take the credit for the idea as I got it from MN, but I bought up all the domain names for his business. Best £100 I ever spent.

That is pure class, @edwinbear!! I love it!

We had a hugely sensitive web filter. If you accessed anything deemed inappropriate, you would get a 2 week internet ban - almost impossible to overturn.

My manager was a complete cow to me. Told me she was making me redundant and then set me a massive piece of research work to do before I left.

I filled the report with genuinely useful clicky links to supporting materials which would benefit anyone working somewhere with a less sensitive filter.

I still wonder if she's made it to the end of the report or is indeed back online yet.

Touma - who has upset you so much that you had to be cruel to someone else ?
