35 Of The Biggest ‘Screw You’ Moments Ever Witnessed In History, As Shared Online In 1962, a wealthy Italian businessman met with Enzo Ferrari to discuss his displeasure with the famous luxury sports cars. His chief complaint was that the clutches didn't seem to hold up well. Ferrari responded, "The clutch is not the problem. The problem is you don’t know how to drive a Ferrari and you break the clutch.”

The businessman happened to have founded and owned a successful tractor manufacturing company, so he knew a thing or two about vehicles. He was incensed at the reply, and not only vowed to never buy another Ferrari, but to begin building his own supercars to show Ferrari how it was done.

And today, the cars of Ferruccio Lamborghini are famous worldwide.

During one of their many verbal battles, Montagu reportedly spat at Wilkes and said, "Upon my soul, Wilkes, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox."

Wilkes replied, "That depends, my lord, on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress."

35 Of The Biggest ‘Screw You’ Moments Ever Witnessed In History, As Shared Online Joan of Arc’s trial was known to be tedious as the Church tried their hardest to find grounds for a conviction. In an attempt to trick her, she was asked whether she knew if she was in God’s grace. Since the Church believed no one was able to know if they were truly in God’s grace, either a yes or no could be condemnable. She responded by saying, “If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me”. Reports on the trial say that the court was stupefied by her deft answer. It was basically a mic drop in the face of the Church at the hands of what they saw as an illiterate and heretic farm girl.

35 Of The Biggest ‘Screw You’ Moments Ever Witnessed In History, As Shared Online Tolkien was in negotiations to sell *The Hobbit* in Germany. The Nazis were in power, but WWII hadn't started yet. The German publisher asked him to provide proof that he was Aryan. This was his response, with emphasis by me:

25 July 1938

20 Northmoor Road, Oxford

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by "arisch". I am not of **Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian;** as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, **Gypsy**, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that **I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people**. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject — which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that **if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.**

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, **of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.**

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully,

J. R. R. Tolkien

Basically anything that the Greek philosopher Diogenes ever did. The entire basis of his teachings and actions were to critique society and social norms, and make a mockery of contemporary teachings.

Perhaps the most famous incident is when Alexander The Great, a fan of Diogenes' philosophy, went to Sinope to speak with him. Alexander offered Diogenes anything he wanted in exchange for teaching his wisdom, and the philosopher replied "stand out of my light".

The man also had an infamously bitter feud with Plato, who was attempting, among other things, to define a human being in its most fundamental of forms. After arriving at "featherless bipeds", Diogenes gate-crashed one of Plato's symposiums with a plucked chicken in-hand, and presented it to the crowd declaring "Behold! I've brought you a man!".

35 Of The Biggest ‘Screw You’ Moments Ever Witnessed In History, As Shared Online The Twenty-seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

It was proposed by the first-ever Congress in 1789 but stalled and was forgotten about. In 1982 a 19-year old college kid named Gregory Watson wrote a paper for his poli sci class arguing that it could still be ratified.

The teaching assistant disagreed and gave him a C on the paper. He then appealed to the professor, who chose not to overturn the grade, so he decided to start a national campaign to prove that he was right. In order to do so he had to convince 28 state legislatures to ratify it in order to reach the necessary 3/4 of all states (10 states had already done so many years before).

In 1992 the Twenty-seventh Amendment officially became part of the Constitution when it was ratified by Michigan.*

Perhaps funniest of all is that it's a relatively obscure amendment that prevents any congressional pay raises or pay cuts from taking effect until the next election, as a way to give voters a say on the matter.

EDIT 1: Turns out that in 2017, his former professor signed a letter to get his [grade changed to an A]! A happy ending.

* At the time, the popular belief was that only 9 states had ratified it, so Watson set out to convince 29 more states. When Alabama ratified it everyone thought he needed one more state, so Michigan (which ratified 2 days after Alabama, so not a big difference) was believed to be the decisive 38th. Turns out that Kentucky had ratified it in 1792, but this was only re-discovered in 1996, meaning Alabama was actually the 38th state. The total is now at 46 states.

35 Of The Biggest ‘Screw You’ Moments Ever Witnessed In History, As Shared Online Alexander the Great.

One of his tutors was a man named Leonidas of Epirus. One time, when visiting a temple and making an offering to the gods, the eager and pious Alexander scooped up as big a handful of incense as he could hold and threw it into the flames. Leonidas chastised the young prince and told him not to be so wasteful of such a rare and expensive import--and that he could use as much as he wanted if he ever owned the lands where it was grown. Many years later, Alexander DID capture those lands and promptly sent his old mentor a reported 600 talents (the equivalent of 15 to 30 tons) of rare and expensive incense and myrrh as a retort, along with a note that now his old teacher wouldn't need to be so stingy and sparing in his offerings to the gods in the future.

And of course the Gordian Knot. A fabled knot that was said to be impossible to untie, though an Oracle had prophesied that if anyone could undo it they would rule over all of Asia. It was said many tried and all failed. Until Alexander walked up to it. He looked it over, took out his sword, and just cut it in half. And went on to conquer huge swaths of Asia afterward.

As it happened a friend of mine was the moderator of the associated forums, and she got into a fight with the mods of the fanfic page. They, being spiteful jerks, started picking on me because they knew I was her friend. And so to get back at them I wrote an all-new fic... which I posted only on the forums. And added a big link to it on my fanfic page signature directing my readership to it. The fanfic mods gave me a temporary suspension a few weeks later, claiming an offense which was 100% fabricated, because what I had actually done was not against the rules.

One of the biggest divine paybacks ever was the British maritime disaster known as the Scilly naval disaster of 1707. A seaman tried to warn the officers and Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell that the fleet was sailing through dangerous waters at the Isles of Scilly. The sailor's warnings were not heeded. The seaman was charged with mutiny. He was unjustly hanged. His last words were to quote Psalm 109, an imprecatory Psalm. This Psalm predicts Judas Iscariot and his fate. This became a curse against the Admiral and his officers who hanged him. The fleet wrecked on the shallow rocks as forewarned with four British ships lost and others damaged. Admiral Shovell and 2000 crew members drowned. This story was reported by survivors who made it to St. Agnes island nearby and was later documented by their descendants.

the best payback of all is found in the Bible in Prov. 6:31. It says that if Satan cheats you out of something, he has to give back seven times what he stole when he gets caught. Eventually, the law of economic common sense kicks in, and Satan realizes it is costing him too much to go on cheating the Lord's servant. He will stop all the cheating when this realization comes. I know a clear example where this scripture proved true down to the last penny. The man received a bag of money as a gift from a stranger that had $21,000 in it after a contractor cheated him out of $3000. Nice! ..
