Add source ADVERTISEMENT “Revenge is a dish best served cold” is a phrase that might seem like it’s absolutely overused, but it absolutely fits the sort of mindset needed to pull off revenge effectively. Acting in momentary anger is a surefire way to just end up doing something dumb and ultimately counterproductive. Someone asked “What kind of calculating, cold act did you commit?” and people shared their stories.

He wouldn't pay overtime, demanded 60+ hour work weeks, and would call you in on your days off. I refused one time and he terminated me. I returned all my uniforms and he charged me $180 cleaning fees. Out of a job, I talked to the building Facility manager about some of the shady s**t I saw him doing. He told me if I had my own security license and insurance he would terminate their contract and hire me. So that's what I did. A few days later, I'm coming in the front door and security stops me. He tells me that I've been terminated and no longer allowed on the property. The building Facility Manager comes out and tells him I'm there on official business with them.The following Monday, new contract in hand, I enter the front door of the property and relieved my former boss of his duties and escorted him off the property. I could see steam coming out of his ears. He was pissed.

No chance I can take these back”I asked the guy to look up my account and he confirmed my name, address, and the total amount I had on order. “Yup that’s me, cancel the order please” - I said. The sales guy started being frantic and a blubbering mess as I waved the piece of broken pvc like a wand and said goodbye.TL:DR - douchebag refused to swap a £2.50 piece of broken plastic (at their fault might I add) and lost £4500 worth of business.

The neighbor still demanded a price cut which resulted in me paying to do the job. Shame he didn't get the color approved by the neighborhood HOA.

They were the upstairs duplex and I had the downstairs one with the backyard. Something in me snapped and I was just done with them. I proceeded to gather my dogs pooper scooper, picked up ALL of the poop in my front (from their dog) and some from the back yard from my dog and promptly dropped it all on their front porch, with a note that said "I see you are having some difficulty picking up after your dog and I thought I would help you out. You're welcome"I then called the landlord and let him know that not only are they letting the dog s**t by my front door and not picking it up, the dog barked constantly, chewed up the blinds, and chewed up the carpet. My landlord's reponse was...they have a dog?Landlord dropped in and made them pay a pet deposit, and charged them a fee for replacing the carpet and the blinds. Cost was around $2,000. I am someone who minds my own business and doesn't involve myself with others, and if they had simply walked another 30 or 40 feet to let their dog s**t elsewhere, I wouldn't have said anything. But trashy rednecks have no shame.

They would be partying until 3, 4, 5 in the morning. Blasting electronic music, chain smoking, obnoxiously drunk, etc.Now, I had to get up at 6 am for work and obviously the ruckus kept myself and my baby up all night. Every night. I asked them a few times to please keep it down and explained the situation. It never worked. And then...one fateful day....I snapped.I waited until about 1 or 2 hours after they'd gone to bed. Just in time for them to be hitting that nice, deep, drunken slumber. And then...I struck. As loud as I possibly good, I began blasting Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles."But that wasnt all. Ooooohhhh no. The rage consumed me...and also probably hormones from all the breastfeeding. I needed to take it one step further. So I grabbed a broom handle and began smacking the ceiling (this house was shoddy yall) all over. The bedroom. The bathroom. The kitchen. You get it.At last I heard them waking. "Stop it!" They cried. "You dont like it when I do it, huh!?" I rebutted.Everything fell silent. My hunger for revenge was satiated. We never spoke of the incident again. Anyways a month or two later some guy tried to break in and they came to help me so I'm glad they weren't the grudge holding type.

I didn’t have much money, but they said it was cool as long as I worked to help people with their strokes and win at my events. It worked, we took second in the state at the end of summer meet and the open water competition. The team dramatically improved. After the season ended, I was planning to keep training with them for the last two weeks before school. The treasurer asked me for dues over the last few months… and the coach pressured me too. They both conveniently forgot our original deal after the team did so well.So, I reached out to the state swimming leadership to tell them that I was getting benefits to swim. They DQ’d the team from the results. I also referred the IRS to audit the coach since he was being paid under the table for coaching and lessons. He got audited… maybe he shouldn’t have bragged about that. ummswimmin , Rob Oo/Flickr (not the actual photo) Report Add photo comments POST Gillbella Gillbella Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 months ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 Round attention Svg Vector Icons : http://www.onlinewebfonts.com/icon Report I don't understand this story: what is a ringer and why do they need to pay something?

Not doing a full backstory but I was homeschooled prior to 5th grade and was a bit awkward. Anyway. He was terrible. And it wasn't just verbal, he would "pants" me often, punch me ("dead arm") give me "Indian burns" etc. Also weird s**t like getting his friends to pick me last in games in PE, and then mocking me for being last. The last straw came when he and his friends grabbed me as I walked home from school and throwing me OVER A FENCE into a yard on the way home with a big dog. And yeah it did bite me. Anyway this was the 80s so very "boys will be boys" from the adults in my life. So. I plotted my revenge. Whenever the bell rang after recess it was a huge mele of kids all running en masse full speed back to the classroom buildings. I made sure to be near him at the end of recess and when the bell rang I ran on the grass behind him. Waiting. Waiting for him to get to the blacktop. As soon as he crossed onto the blacktop, I sped up, jumped, and came down right on his back with my knee driving him into the ground hard. HARD. It broke his arm, nose, busted both lips, and chipped one of his teeth. I also skinned my (other) knee (not intentionally but it worked out well) and also asked for help. I went to the nurse, he went to the hospital, and "I'm sorry I tripped" was not questioned much. Kids fell down and got hurt during that big rush pretty often, which is what gave me the idea. Idk if he knew I did it on purpose, but he never messed with me (or really even talked to me) ever again. I did feel kind of bad as I didn't expect him to be injured that bad, but not too much. I did try to get adults to intervene more than once with no success. Law of the jungle, I guess. I should add that in my adult life I'm absolutely the most nonviolent person you'd ever meet lol. sp0rkah0lic , Vova Kras/Pexels (not the actual photo) Report Add photo comments POST T'Mar of Vulcan T'Mar of Vulcan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 3 months ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 Round attention Svg Vector Icons : http://www.onlinewebfonts.com/icon Report My brother stabbed a bully with a pair of scissors in high school.

She was on my Sprint account back when you had the two year contracts on your phone and she had about 6 months left on her contract.I called Sprint to cancel the contact and it was like $400 to end it 6 months earlier and after doing the math, it was cheaper to just pay the extra $50 for the next 6 months. Her birthday is in October and at the end of September she said she was going to get her own line. I call Sprint and explain what's going on and the Sprint dude suggests I suspend her line, basically her phone number that she had for over 6 years contractually belonged to me. On the early morning of her birthday, around 5 AM, I suspended her phone line. Her phone would be a paperweight and wouldn't even access WiFi for some reason. She woke up on her birthday with ZERO missed calls and ZERO texts wishing her a Happy Birthday. After a few hours I got a call from Sprint asking if I would release her phone number so she could attach it to her own new line. NOPE!She spent her birthday having to reach out to everyone telling them what happened. Happy birthday, dunce!

Some days I did nothing to it and she'd still take it apart to make sure there wasn't a jalepeno in it. At one point I hid it INSIDE the crust. Unless she tore it apart she'd never find it.We were 2 years apart in age and she was a little a*****e in HS so it was my best version of revenge. sexi_squidward , Alan Levine/Flickr (not the actual photo) Report Add photo comments POST Legendbird Legendbird Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 3 months ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 Round attention Svg Vector Icons : http://www.onlinewebfonts.com/icon Report Hahaha!

So I bought a cheap wireless mouse and plugged the dongle into the back of his PC where no one would ever see it. I could look across the hall and kind of see when he was using the mouse, and I would just nudge the cursor enough that it would feel like there was something glitching. I got him to break another mouse that week.

Vote comment up 14 14points Vote comment down reply View more commentsArrow down menu #30 Years ago in my old neighborhood, there was a horrible neighbor behind me. Total distance between our houses was roughly 50ft.The husband travelled for work for months at a time. When he’d be back in town, he’d have a huge party every night until 3/4 am, regardless of the day of the week. He built a shed and converted it into a massive speakerbox for a huge sound system he had, and no amount of noise complaints would stop him. Cops would shut him down, he’d wait 20-30 minutes, then crank it back up.He was drunk and loudly bragging one night about how he probably had the best stereo setup in the world for a private citizen, and boasted about spending over $20k on it from start to finish. I instantly knew I had to find a way to destroy it.By pure chance, a few days later I learned about EMP devices. After reading up on them, to get one strong enough to fry the electronics it would cost me a little bit. I got a side job delivering pizzas at night and saved every tip until I could buy the one I wanted. In early September, he had finally come home after being on the road for a while, and sure enough he threw a rowdy party. I waited until everyone had been drinking for a while, and once everyone was clear of the shed, I blasted that mfer. I don’t know what I was expecting, like not expecting an explosion or anything, but I expected something more than what happened. For a brief second, it sounded like loud feedback like when someone plugs a guitar into an amp that’s already on and cranked up. Just for a split second, then silence. The rest of the night was spent with the guy drunk and confused, and repeatedly saying wtf? Eventually everyone left, and he spent several days trying to solve a problem that was impossible to solve. It was hard to feel bad about it, because when I had politely talked to him about it a year prior about how my kids were little and had school, he didn’t give a s**t and told me to f**k off. Luckily, all the neighbors hated him and called the cops all the time, so his suspect list was a mile long.Then the following year I definitely knew I had no reason to feel bad when I saw his mugshot on tv[He murdered his mother and hid her body in his freezer.](https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/va-karen-capaccio-41-found-dead-in-freezer-virginia-beach-23-july-2004.27852/).

My sister was dating this guy who was an absolute loser. He was a jerk. He was rude, and he was always getting into trouble. I didn't want my sister with him, but she wouldn't leave him. One day I noticed that his name was on the docket for arraignment that day. He had been arrested for a relatively minor d**g charge. If we knew someone who was a defendant in a case, we were required to disclose that to the prosecutor, so I did. The prosecutor asked me what kind of guy he was, and I told him the truth - he was a jerk. He then asked me if I wanted him to "go easy" or "go hard" on the guy. I responded that I'd rather that he was out of my sister's life. The prosecutor said, "Got it." The guy ended up doing three years and never saw my sister again.

He would work away at fly-in camps for several weeks at a time; if you forgot something or needed something you didn’t bring, too bad. As he was getting ready to leave for work one time, I washed and folded his work laundry like the good little doormat I was, but before I packed his bag I took a tiny razor blade knife to each of his socks. It was completely unnoticeable when they were folded and probably even when he put them on, but surely each day ended with his toes sticking out of his socks. In a very labour-heavy, on-your-feet type job. I hope he was f*****g miserable.
