People Share Their Revenge Stories That Are Simple But Effective

When we wrong others or hurt them in some way on purpose, we tend to feel bad about it afterward. Why? Because we have a conscience that acts as a moral compass for what’s right and wrong. However, there are some situations where we have done some pretty bad things to others and we don’t feel bad. Usually, this happens when we think the other party is deserving of what we have done to them, perhaps as a punishment for their own bad behavior that they may have otherwise gotten away with. Our “bad behavior” is then justified by their initial actions, and thus we tend not to regret treating them in a negative way.

There is no shortage of people willing to spill the beans about some of the awful things they have done to others without an ounce of regret even years later. Here are some of those stories. Many of them are funny, many of them are a bit over the top, and some of them are even exactly what we would do ourselves, feeling right about taking karma into our own hands. Of course, plenty of people would say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, but that’s not what you will be reading here today.

43. This Is What Happens When Your Try To Scam Teenagers Out Of Hard-Earned Money

“When I was younger a friend and I were walking around the neighborhood looking to do yard work for money. A middle-aged guy with an overgrown front yard took us up on our offer when we knocked on his door, and told us that he wanted his lawn mowed, edges trimmed, and his bushes trimmed. We did a great job, and after the better part of two hours, we knocked again to collect the $15 we had agreed upon, except he didn’t answer the door.

He hadn’t left, his car in the driveway was evidence of that.

We tried the back door, we tried the side garage door, and we even went home for a glass of water and took a break before going back and knocking again. When I say ‘knocked,’ I mean making an absurd amount of noise on just about every exterior surface of this man’s house. We could hear the TV on inside too. At this point, it became clear that he was attempting to scam us out of our work. His doors were all locked, we could hear him inside, and he wasn’t coming out.

Well, being the vengeful 14-year-olds that we were, we walked to the hardware store and used some of the money we earned later that day to purchase road salt.

A LARGE QUANTITY OF SALT. Late that night we visited his house and generously salted every living plant in the yard, and used a fertilizer spreader to evenly salt his front lawn. We killed this man’s entire front yard. For the rest of the year, his yard was a very visible brown wasteland in an otherwise lush green neighborhood.” EKS916

42. Talking Down To An IT Wizard Does Not End Well

“Worked at a University in IT department. Noticed that one of the processes on a shared computer cluster was going crazy stuck in a loop and sending thousands of error emails to a nonexisting address, causing bounces and more emails.

Went to investigate and it was a broken script ran by one of our Computer Science students.

So I email the guy and politely ask him to stop the process and fix the script. To which, this cocky man replied basically with ‘I am a computer science student and you are an IT support peasant. My script is fine. Mind your own business.’ That was a terrible idea on his part. Terrible.

So I went and changed his script to send emails to him, his TA and his professor instead and restarted the process under root user, meaning he had 0 ability to stop it.

All 3 of them received about 40,000 emails each within an hour. He was at my office door apologizing and begging me to stop it. Icing on the cake was the fact that our webmail interface only allowed deleting 50 emails at a time. He ended up having to clear all of it from TA’s and prof’s mailboxes too. He was at it for 3 straight days.” solefald

41. An Eye For An Eye Is How This Kid Played It When A Girl Kicked Sand Into His Face

“When I was little kid, I went to the beach with my nan. It was a gorgeous day, as little-me began innocently making an awesome, groundbreaking metalcore sand castle.

Lo and behold, this little girl trots up to me, and says, ‘Hi’, to catch my attention. I’m kneeling down, so as I look up at her, she kicks a big wad of sand in my face, of course getting completely into my eyes.

I run off to my concerned nan, who begins wiping my face, asking what was wrong in her usual, loving and kind way. Once I finally explain to her what happened, her face changes into a darker, more callous nan.

She looks me straight in the eye and says, “Well. Go find her and kick sand back into her face.

Do it.”

I see the sea-witch, now smugly building her sand castle. I was always a timid child, but now was my time. I saunter up to her, stealthier than Big Boss and say, ‘Hi’. With a sandy hint of irony, she looks up at me, roles reverse.

I take a huge swing of my tiny leg, and see the fear and regret in her eyes as she preempts her demise. Her eyes widen in horror, she begins to shake her head, ‘No, I’m sorry!’

Too late.

Sand was kicked, tears were shed. I’m pretty sure an explosion went off behind me as I strutted back to my proud grandmother.” mollypop94

40. When Someone Steals Your Couch, It Doesn’t Seem So Wrong To Steal Their Money

“My sister was an 18-year-old college freshman when she started dating this bag of trash named Ben (real name, screw Ben).

He was 32, did illegal substances, was a deadbeat dad and lived close to campus so he could meet college girls more conveniently.

I was 16 and went to visit my sister. I noticed her new futon that my parents had just bought her was missing from her dorm room, I asked her where it went and she told me Ben stole it one day while she was in class. He claimed he took it because she hung out at his house so often and needed to ‘contribute to the house.’ My sister was kind of a pushover and didn’t fight for it.

That night we went to a party at Ben’s house and everyone was wasted except me. I went into Ben’s room to use the attached bathroom and noticed a roll of 20’s sticking out from underneath a sweater on his dresser. I took $260 and tucked it in my back pocket.

We stayed the night there, and were awoken to Ben flipping out about the missing cash. Still with it tucked in my pocket, we helped him look for it for almost an hour. As soon as my sister and I got back to her dorm, I gave her the cash and told her we were going couch shopping.” FlyLesbianSeagull

 39. Some Nice Guys Take A Bully Into Their Own Hands And Alter His Life For The Worse

“I stole my teacher’s grade book to alter the scores for a different kid.

This caused him to flunk final year of English with no time to retake the class, which caused him to not graduate on time which lost him his scholarship to Oregon to play football (yes, that Oregon football program).

Here’s why: This football playing jock was a permanent bully to kids. Always slapping weak kids in the back of the neck and yelling ‘red neck!’ He and his friends would often drag other kids into the bathroom and give them swirlies (holding them up-side-down and dunking their head in a toilet while you flush). Daily, low level, high school bully stuff.

Administrators never really did anything outside of verbally warn him to stop because has hot stuff on the football team (I want to say Tight End or Linebacker, I never really knew).

One day, he and his friends take this little Mexican kid into the nice basketball gym, which was off-limits to all students and only used for the basketball team games so they knew no one would be coming around for a while (there was a second ‘main’ cheap and nasty basketball gym that was used for Physical and practice). They held him down while he slapped this kid around then hung him from the basketball rim by his underwear.

Now, this Mexican kid was not physically disabled or ********, but he was definitely physically limited due to some sort of inherent illness; we’re talking 4’9″ and 80 pounds.

He hung on that basketball hoop all afternoon, from about lunchtime until the janitor found him before the basketball game that night (so, like 5 or 6pm). He was bleeding and passed out.

School didn’t do anything because the little kid’s family didn’t pursue any charges (in that neighborhood, most likely they were there illegally and did not want to stir the pot, which really sucks, but that’s reality for immigrants in this country). While there was never any formal investigation, he and his friends would brag about the incident.

So my friends and I on the hockey team figured this was enough.

I knew he had the same English teacher as I did in a different period. My friend was a Teacher’s Assistant to another teacher so the administrators were quite used to seeing him going around the school with teacher’s grade books. One day, I swipe my teacher’s grade book from her desk by placing my books on top to talk to her (I was the ‘new kid’ still having just transferred back to the United States midway through the year and the teacher liked me) and then walked away with the whole stack; handed it off to my buddy the T.A..

He altered just a few big test scores slightly to push his mid 60s (bad but passing) grade down to a 55 (fail and not “just close enough” to deserve a bump). Then we left it in her office mail box (where the grade books get filed anyway), she never questioned anything (T.A.’s would have to deliver this grade books to the office daily anyway, so I guess she just figured her T.A. did it correctly).

With no time to make up the scores, he failed his 4th English credit and did not graduate high school. He had to make it up over the summer from what I hear but lost his big-time football program scholarship.

Don’t know what happened to him much after that, all I know is that he was not starting for Oregon Football. He should not have picked on the tiny Mexican kid so hard.” TheLateThagSimmons

38. Girls Get Put In Their Place At A Bar For Taking What Wasn’t Theirs

“Was at a pub with a friend who’d gotten up to go to the bathroom. He had his drink on the table. 3 very catty girls came upstairs, and while I was sitting at the table, they just grabbed his chair and walked off with it, didn’t ask or acknowledge anyone else at all.

I made eye contact with this long haired biker-looking guy at the table next to me.

He knew, and I knew… something had to be done.

I walked up to their table, grabbed two of their drinks without asking while they were mid-conversation, and walked back to my table. One got all p*ssed and came over, at which point the biker guy took her chair and brought it back to our table.

At this point my friend came back to the table. The girl saw him and backed off while he sat down, but still was complaining. At this point, I was about to give the drinks back to get her to shut up and go away, until the biker guy got up, came over to our table, picked up both drinks, chugged them, then smiled and walked off.

The aftermath wasn’t super fun but I’ll be darned if I wasn’t pleased as all get out. That glorious long-haired mother biker just ripped her ego to shreds, and it was beautiful.

Life protip: just because you are pretty does not give you the license to take whatever you want.” fattiefalldown

37. He Erased All His Choir Teacher’s Music And Class Files For Good Reason

“7th grade we had to take choir or band. I picked choir but the teacher was a heinous witch. I have an awful voice so I just chose to pretend like I was singing. No harm no foul. One day she turned on the classroom fan and a ton of dust fell on us.

I let out an enormous burst of sneezes and she lost her mind. Said something to the effect of, I never participate but am now disrupting the class with my sneezing. She put me in this storage closet and turned out the lights. There was a computer in the back of this closet and I fired it up. There, were all her choir music and class files. Formatted the drive.” mestupsh0w0ff

36. When You Purposely Give Dogs *****, You Pay The Price

“My husband’s ex was a little bit of a crazy. We posted pictures of a dog we were planning on adopting. Low and behold, ex-girlfriend adopts said dog within 24 hours.

A few weeks later she posts a vine of her blowing smoke in the dogs face and calling him stoner puppy. The dog was yelping and whining in the video.

So I copied the video to the shelter she got it from and soon she had no dog and was on probation. I guess animal control came with police officers and found a lot of goodies! No regrets.

We didn’t adopt that dog, my husband’s dad lives down the street from the girl and making her see us with the dog would have been cruel to her, and she probably would have retaliated in some way.

We adopted a different puppy from the shelter and our Doberman just turned 3. The original pup was returned to the no-kill shelter and found a new home quickly.” butterbell

35. A Mean Mom Doesn’t Get Her Way With A Child’s Tootsie Pop And Turns Violent

“We were on vacation with another family. They were handing out tootsie pops, and I asked for a blue one because it was my favorite color. The other mom, who didn’t like me, purposely gave blue tootsie pops to all her children first, so that there were none left for me.

I asked one of them to trade, and they said sure.

So I am licking my blue tootsie pop, and I see her making a beeline toward me and yelling, ‘that was so-and so’s sucker, give it back!’ So I turn and take the hugest bite of the tootsie pop, eat about 2/3 in one bite, before she smacks me and steals the remainder. I was only about 7 at the time, first real memory of openly disobeying an adult like that.” syscallgrl

34. Forwarding A Cruel Email To Everyone She Knows Seems Mean But Necessary In This Case

“When I was a youngin, my first girlfriend had dumped me without really a word.

She just stopped talking and answering phone calls, which you know, sure. These were high school days. I was hurt, and it was causing a rift in friends. I just wanted to know why the cold wall of silence as she quite literally just started pretending I didn’t exist.

So I get this email from her detailing how much she’s been with all these other guys and moved on from me and how she faked all her feelings for me; just really spiteful stuff and it came out of the blue.

So I forwarded it to everyone we knew, including her mother.

I just didn’t see the point of being overly cruel in a breakup, but I also didn’t see the point of just absorbing it without teaching her a lesson.” utricularian

33. This Man Got His Landlord Back By Making Potential Tenants Think The Apartment Had Vermin

“Well, my landlord saw my syringes for my diabetes and got into a loud, ***** boiling argument with me over the ‘obvious’ drug use those represented.

After I shoved insulin prescriptions in his face, following several threats to call the cops to have me locked up and my dogs that I pay pet rent for euthanized, he left.

Following this, I noticed he always left apartments he was showing that day unlocked. Towards the end of my lease, I would sneak in and leave lovely notes on the fridge such as “ask about the bed bugs!” And “now twenty percent cockroach free!”

I was never accused of anything from doing it but several occasions when he’d come out cussing to himself followed by confused prospective tenants I’d catch his eye and give him a little smirk and a nod.” ThatCrazyManDude

 32. A Bad Roommate Pays The Price When He Doesn’t Realize His Cologne Is Now Urine

“I’ll tell a story for my uncle.

He was a mischievous guy.

Anyway, when he was in his 20’s he shared a Flat with roommates like most of us do. He had this one roommate who would always eat everyone else’s food and constantly use their stuff.

Occasionally my uncle would call him out on it, ‘Hey man did you finish the milk?’

man: ‘uh yea.’

Stuff like that.

Anyway, while man was out my uncle thought it would be a good idea if he took man’s cologne and p*ssed in it.

A few nights later all the roommates are going out and man springs out of the bathroom ‘ah boys I’m smelling good’…all the roommates are dying on the inside trying to keep it together as man parades around the flat smelling beautiful with my uncle’s p*ss on his neck.

My uncle definitely did not regret that; he loves telling that story.” deleted

 31. He Should Have Trimmed The Tree Himself To Avoid Losing Even More

“My neighbor’s tree had large limbs which overhung our driveway – enough to cover both cars with sap and debris (a very messy tree).

I asked him a number of times to trim it back to his side because it made a mess of our cars and driveway – a request he ignored.

Finally,* I called the ************ company and had all the tree limbs removed which were overhanging on our side.

He was livid! I was not. Luckily, it was all legal.” Back2Bach

 30. He Wrapped His Hands Around Someone’s Throat But Didn’t Expect To Get His Fingers Broken

“Some of you may have been there: a friend who suddenly decides for no apparent reason that he is “superior” to you and sets about establishing that mentally and physically.

It started off with small jabs to the ribs, which then turned to full-on punches.

Things reach a head when in the cafeteria he squares up to me and wraps he hands around my throat.

It was more instinctive than anything else, but to get his hands away from my throat I grabbed his ring and index finger and pulled in a direction fingers aren’t meant to go, hard.

After a satisfying crack, he had his hands off my throat in an instant. He stumbled back a few steps, holding his hand with a look of shock on his face. He then ran off towards the campus medic mumbling threats about what he’ll do to me if I’ve ruined the rest of the season for him.

He never touched me again. Best part is he played baseball and I totally screwed the rest of his season.

Totally worth it.” astraboy

 29. Girls Don’t Want Guys Who Bullied Them To Be Their Boyfriend

“A little jerk would pester me in class. All through elementary school (6 years here in Mexico).

He’d push me around, trip me, sit in front of me and yawn and stretch backward so he could push my things off my table with his really long and scrawny arms. He was a true jerk. He’d sneeze and get snot all over everything and clean it off ON MY THINGS.

I was a 10-year-old girl.

I was fed up of years and years of this kid being like this to me.

‘Aww he probably just likes you!’ everyone said.

They were right.

Valentine’s Day rolls up, and he comes up with a bouquet of pink roses. The most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen happen in elementary school. Sure, kids gave flowers to their crushes, maybe a rose, or two. Not a freaking bouquet of them. So he strolls up, pink in the face, and asks me if I’d like to be his shiny new GF.

Like he hadn’t tripped me or pulled my hair yesterday. I picked up the bouquet, and with hatred in my voice, grabbed the roses, and ripped them off the stems while proclaiming in front of our whole classroom.

‘OVER MY DEAD BODY.’

The kid left crying his eyes out, boys comforting all day, and girls thinking I was really mean for it. Well, he threw rocks at me!! Why would I want to be his GF? Ever?” Doiihachirou

 28. These Rude Words Were Very Deserved

“I live in Venezuela and went to a really bad public school, so when the time came for my class to learn English, it was pretty shocking for all of my classmates to learn that I already knew the language (I was taught at home by my father).

My English teacher, however, didn’t buy it. She insisted I was cheating, and every time we had to take a test, she would isolate me from the others ‘so that I wouldn’t copy them’ (which made no sense since the others were barely passing the class).

She was openly hostile to me at any given chance, be it during class or in the halls.

At one point she actually started yelling at me in the middle of class. It was horrible, and I finally asked what she had against me. She told me ‘you want me to believe you already speak English when that’s an obvious lie! you’re black! Your father is black! You people are not smart enough to speak two languages!’

The whole class went silent, which made my answer of ‘you f*****g w***e,’ sound incredibly loud. I stomped out of the classroom to call my parents.

It didn’t dawn on me what I did until the next day when all my classmates were fussing over me, since it was the first time they heard my nerdy, quiet self utter a rude word.” Anzae

 27. This Boy Found An Abused Rabbit A Better Home By Stealing It

“I stole someone’s pet rabbit. I went to a party and the guys who lived there kept her in a tiny cage meant for hamsters and blew smoke at her face all the time. They never gave her veggies, instead, they were feeding her wet cat food so she was very malnourished.
My friend created a diversion and I grabbed the cage and booked it to the car.

I took her to the vet and they kept her for two weeks to get her back to normal. She was apparently seizing from the withdrawal combined with dehydration. She was also incredibly mean, due to the abuse. The vet said there was evidence of prior broken bones that had never been healed. The guys who owned her had no idea who took her and were posting pleas on social media to give her back. No chance of that! She required intense care, so I gave her to our vet tech who was also our petsitter because I couldn’t take care of her the way she required.

I don’t feel bad about the theft (bunny-napping?) for a second.

Her name was Sasha. She lived another five years afterward, in my vet tech’s house. She had a hutch in the backyard she shared with a few other rescued rabbits, and her favorite thing to do was to lie on her lap and watch TV. She loved to be cuddled, loved belly rubs, hung out with the dogs inside, and was basically a dog herself.” sweetrhymepurereason

 26. Talking Behind Someone’s Back Got This Guy Left Behind On A Euro-Trip

“I went traveling for a month with a friend of mine, but halfway through I found out he was actually being a total knob to me and saying all sorts and doing all sorts behind my back.

While we were staying in Zurich I hopped on the train to Liechtenstein on my own, a place we were supposed to go together. I still don’t regret it.” Mr3p1c0s1ty

 25. This Is A Time When Stealing A Dog Might Be The Right Move

“My parent’s neighbor was a really cool guy with two dogs. One was the sweetest dog ever, the other was not so much.

Even though their neighbor was a good guy, he shouldn’t have dogs, he’d leave them outside all the time, sometimes with enough food and water sometimes not. He worked four days on three days off, so was gone for long stretches of time.

Well about four years ago I showed up for Christmas at my parent’s house and it was freezing, and this guy’s dogs were outside. I was livid.

So I called animal control on Christmas Eve and they came and took the dogs.

Except, they only took one, the mean one. I stole the other one.

Lobo was the best. RIP buddy.” austinr4r

 24. He Spilled Beer On Her Lap In Exchange For Her Shallow Comments

“A friend and I were sitting in a trendy restaurant in NYC. Now I didn’t make a lot of money at the time and couldn’t afford designer clothes so I shopped at thrift stores and sample sales etc.

So, the woman at the table next to me compliments me on my shirt and asks me, ‘Who is it?’
‘I have no idea, it’s just something I picked up at a sample sale.’ Well, she laughs and proceeds to say nasty things about me to her friend. I seemingly let it slide, until we get up to leave. The tables were close together so I had to squeeze by her. She had a bottle of beer in front of her and I positioned the umbrella I was holding to knock said bottle all over her lap. I gave a quick, insincere apology and got right out of there.” Curlypeeps
23. Jokes About A Blind Dad Lead To A Very Dark Comment To Get It To Stop

“There was this kid I went to school with from elementary school through most of high school; we weren’t exactly friends but we lived in the same neighborhood so it was more of a ‘strong acquaintances’ type of deal.

For some reason, in elementary school, this kid loved to make jokes about by dad being blind. The jokes never really bothered me, but this kid had some balls to make jokes about my dad because his own father had passed away years ago.

I remember having a bad day at school and it just so happens this kid was walking home with me and my buds that day. Sure enough, this kid finds it to be another perfect time to make a blind dad joke and I wasn’t letting this one slide by. ‘You know what, that’s really funny. But I would much rather have a blind dad than a dead one.”

This was either in 4th or 5th grade so I kind of surprised myself at how dark of a statement that was.

Kid had it coming though, I should have said it earlier. The jokes about my dad stopped after that walk home.” guitarzan531

22. Mean Girls Always Have It Coming, And This Was No Exception

“In college, I moved in with some friends to a house off campus. I guess because girls can’t live in a group of girls without picking on one, I became their victim. They did a lot of hurtful things. One of the girls and I had our birthdays on the same day. They threw a party and I thanked them…to which they replied the party was only for the other roommate, not me.

They banged pots and pans and screamed outside of my room all night when they knew I had a major exam the next day.
Basically, they just bullied me in every way possible. It got bad enough that the week before my brother’s wedding I got so sick and I was too weak to drive myself to the doctor. I had lost 6 pounds in a few days. I literally had to crawl downstairs to ask if one of them could please drive me to the hospital. They refused, so my parents had to come from two hours away to take me to the hospital.

Shortly after that, I moved out. And when I did, I scrubbed the toilet with their toothbrushes, spit in their milk, poured salt in all their bottles of alcohol, and my personal favorite, I put one of my dog’s turds under a girl’s mattress. Not one bit of remorse felt.” Brontosaurusus86

21. What Happens When You Leave Your Phone In A Restaurant After Leaving A Penny For A Tip

“I was waiting tables when a few teenagers sat down in my section. They were clearly just killing time and ordered some sodas. I didn’t mind, I probably did the same thing when I was their age.

Then they started seeing how much they could boss me around.

‘Can I get some more ice?’ I’d get them more ice. ‘Um, this one doesn’t taste good. Can I have a new one?’ I’d get them a new one. With each request, they’d giggle and turn to each other like, ‘I can’t believe you said that! I can’t believe she’s doing it!’ Now, as a server, I’ve had my fair share of abuse, but this was just plain mean.

The ridiculous requests continued until they left. On the table was a single penny (their parting insult.) As I cleaned the table, I noticed they had also left a phone in the booth.

Without thinking twice, I took the phone into the restroom and submerged it in the sink. Then, for good measure, I tore up the charger input with a fork. I dried it off and put it back in the booth.

It was petty and childish, but I like to think they learned not to mess with waitstaff after that.” GothamCityDonuts

20. A Mean Metal Band Gets Tricked With Water In Their Shots Instead Of Alcohol

“One time I was at a bar and a horrible metal band was playing horrible music and being mean to people with their stage banter. So I sent five shot glasses filled with water to the stage.” twistedbeats
19. A Brother Stands Up For His Sister By Giving Girl A Taste Of Her Own Medicine And Then Some

“When my mom was in elementary school, she was chubby and the other girls (and the boys of course) would make fun of her.

One girl in particular did it WAY too often. My uncle (despite being 2 grades under her) got the entire bus of 5th graders (most of which were his friends) to meet the girl who was picking on her at her bus stop on her way home, and ganged up on her, started calling her names/picking on her etc., then proceeded to take her bookbag and dump all of the contents into the nearby creek. It was almost 40 years ago and he never apologized.” deleted

18. Scratching His Metallica CD’s Was Harsh But Perhaps Not Completely Wrong To Do

“A friend punched my 100-disc turntable stereo at my party.

He broke the door that opens and lets the CD’s out and in. A different friend told me about it so to take revenge I was at the culprit’s house one day, found his collection of Metallica CD’s. I grabbed them one by one and scratched all of them with a knife, then put them back and never said anything. Made sure to really mess up the box set he loved so much.” Sillybillygumdrop
17. If Your Pizza Delivery Arrives Cold, It’s Probably Because You Were A Jerk When Ordering It

“If customers are jerks on the phone I ‘forget’ to close the hot bag and drive with my A/C on high.

I am a pizza delivery guy for context.” MoistWalrus

16. Here’s A Great Reason To Steal Someone’s Cat And Lie About It

“Ok, so back in the day my boss gave me a kitty, his wife’s sister got mad because she didn’t want any of the other kitties and wanted the one I had. Not wanting to be a problem for someone’s family, I agreed to take a different kitty, I was sad but I figured it was for the best.

A few months later my boss’s wife calls me and tells me they are treating the kitty horribly (pestering him while he eats, chasing him around, leaving him out in the cold, etc) and asks me if I’d go steal him.

Loaded up the car dressed in black and stole the cat! One day she came over and without a thought had brought her niece.

Well, niece looks at kitty and says that it looks like Mittens (the rename they had given him).

I stared her dead in the eyes and said, ‘Nope, that’s Freddy.’

16 years later he’s still a happy kitty living with his brother, myself and my wife.” drpestilence

15. Pink Eye Is Contagious And This Kid Knew That

“My debate partner and I did a presentation in front of the entire school to showcase our debating skills. We were nationally recognized, the administration wanted the school to understand what we did.

During the last presentation, I was walking by the choir room and a bunch of choir kids made fun of me. A couple of weeks later I got pink eye, so I rubbed my eye juice all over the handle to the choir room. I infected at least 2 people. Winning.” deleted

14. He Stabbed A Mean Girl In The Leg With A Pen

“I stabbed a girl in the leg with a pen.

No, I’m not nuts, hear me out. I was around 12 and my little sister (9 at the time) had been acting strange. So when she asked my mom for some candy money I followed her to the store (it was just a few houses down since it was family owned).

While she was on her way there this mean girl rolls up with 2 other girls. They are around 14-16. They start bullying my little sister and forcing her to give them her money. Now I see why a usually happy child like my little sister had been so jumpy and sad lately.

I don’t remember what I said but I know I gave them the option to just walk away and leave me and my sister alone. One of them agreed but the head mean girl in charge thought it was going to be a 2 for 1 special. So she kept getting closer and closer threatening us, I pulled out the only thing I had (a pen) and stabbed her in the leg so hard the pen broke.

My sister and I booked it out of there, but no one ever messed with her again. Sometimes I think back on it and wonder if she still has a scar on her leg the size of a penny. I start to feel a little bad but then I remind myself it’s a pretty good wake up call to stop being so mean by picking on little kids. Maybe she’s a better person now because of it. At least I would hope so.” UpsetMuffins

13. A Chatty, Religious Neighbor On A Plane Finally Shuts Up When She Feels Offended

“I was taking a flight across the US and ended up sitting next to some churchy type of lady.

She started talking the second I sat down and didn’t even stop while they were going over the safety stuff for the flight.

I’m not kidding when I say it was 100% all about her family…. Her kids, her grand kids and stuff I really didn’t care about at all.

After we took off, she got out some pictures. I looked at her 2 grand kids and asked if they were homosexual from the picture she showed me. I told her they had a look to them and their hair/clothes made them look like they might be homosexual. I said this because many religious people think homosexuality is wrong, so I knew she would be bothered.

She was so disgusted that she put the photo’s away and sat there p*ssed off for 3 hours and I was able to enjoy the rest of my flight.” Decyde

12. She Told The Truth, But Sometimes The Truth Can Seem Rather Mean

“My fiancé is an amazing father and has had his son for four years on his own. His ex-wife fought in court with him for years over the stuff they owned, even though he had already given her half. Only when she found out about having to pay child support did she fight for custody.

My boyfriend is a good guy and attractive, but he has a temper when he gets nervous and unfortunately looks like he’s mad all the time.

The judge was skeptical of him, and asked to meet me to really judge his character.

The worst thing I ever did to her was told the whole truth, and knocked it out of the park. When I was cross-examined, the ex’s lawyer asked a handful of questions trying to make me or my fiancé look bad. Each one I was able to turn around to look positive on us.

His ex lost even more custody and visitation, and now we can move wherever we want.

That woman deserved it. My fiance’s son has asthma and the ex smoked in the car with him and let her friends smoke in the car with him.

She’s had screaming matches with the child about how the child was lying so she could cover up her lies.” Dioxycyclone

11. This Neighbor Didn’t Ask Permission And Was Worse Off For It

“A pal of mine caught a crew of tree-trimmers going into his back yard to trim his trees up on the hillside. His neighbor up the hill hired them because they were blocking his view. My pal called a nursery the next day and ordered eight large trees planted to entirely obstruct his view. If the guy had just come down and said, ‘Hey, there are some trees in your yard obstructing our view.

Would you mind if I had them trimmed’ he would have said, ‘Sure. No problem.'” truthseeker444
10. His Dad Is Paying For His Sins On iTunes

“My dad walked out after emotionally abusing my mom for fifteen years, about ten months ago. I haven’t contacted him since. His credit card info was still hooked up to my iTunes tho. So, for the last 10 months, I’ve been buying all the music I want and it charges his card. He hasn’t noticed. I’ve probably spent over 300 dollars and I have no intention of stopping.” deleted
9. This Kid Bragged About His Hot Sauce Abilities To The Wrong Guy

“One time at my big family reunion we had family from all over to eat at our house.

I had a cousin named Blake and I heard him bragging at the dinner table that the hot sauce he was using for his food was ‘weak’ or how he could ‘handle any hot sauce’.

So in my 12-year-old mind, a light bulb went off in my head: ‘Let me go get that atomic hot sauce in the fridge.’ It’s more of gag gift because half a teaspoon and you’re royally hurting. I’m not even kidding, one of family friends took a drop around that time and was like ‘no way that stuff”. I didn’t even present it to him as normal hot sauce, just to ‘try it,’ then he proceeds to dunk his whole fried chicken wing in the sauce and for the next 20 minutes there was lots of screaming and freaking out and little me dying with laughter looking like a little jerk in front of the whole family with veins popping out of my head.

Worth it.” deleted

8. He Got Someone Out Of A Bar For Her Nasty Comments

“I went out of town to visit some friends over spring break and ended up going to a bar where my best friend works. I went by myself so that he could get half off of my tab and was having a good time. He told me that if anyone even looks at me wrong, I could have them thrown out.
I wasn’t planning on utilizing that, but one girl changed my mind. I was waiting in line to use the portapotties and a girl jumped right in front of me.

She looked like she had to go badly, so I motioned for her to go ahead of me. She turned around and said, ‘you’re not even cute.’ I told her ‘I’m not hitting on you, just trying to be polite.’ She made a comment about my crooked teeth and then I pointed at her chubby stomach. She made a scene, I notified my friend, and watched her get dragged out of the bar.” deleted
7. Girls On A Crowded Train Get Ousted While Smoking In The Bathroom

“I was on a crowded train standing in the entrance part as it was packed, mid-summer.

It was so packed people had opened the toilet door to stand in there too. It was one of those big circular Virgin train toilets.

Anyway, a girl came and asked if we could move out so she could use the toilet, We said of course, sorry, (being British), and her and her friend went in together. Weird, I thought.

It was super-crammed before we opened the door, now it was almost hard to breathe.

A minute later of being too crammed, I smell cigarette smoke.

As luck would have it, the guard was walking past (or at least very slowly squeezing himself through us), anyhow I discretely pressed the ‘open door’ button behind me.

I can’t believe they hadn’t locked it.

The slow rotation of the door and the look on their faces as they frantically tried to hide the cigarette and stop the door opening was just perfect.

The relief of being able to stand and not rub against anyone, the opening of the outside train doors to fresh air at the station…extra perfect sweet relief. As they were booted off and the train rolled away, I made no eye contact, no one knew it was me.

I don’t regret it.” deleted

6. Helping His Friend Would Have Meant Jeopardizing His Job

“A slacker friend of mine was looking for a job and applied for a pretty rigorous position at my company.

I have a really good reputation and my recommendations carry a lot of weight. Without telling me, he put me down as a reference. He told me after he was called into an interview (they usually check references after interviews). I went to the manager the next week and said, personally, he is a friend of mine, but professionally, I cannot recommend him for this position. Felt really bad afterward, but it’s better to be honest than put someone in position that they won’t succeed in and hurt my reputation along the way.” rondell_jones
5. She Quit Without Notice, But Understandably So

“Quit my job without giving notice.

Really put the owners of the company in a bind to not have me around anymore, without any notice to train someone new. Inspired 4 other employees to quit within the next few days after my departure. Don’t regret it one bit. If they wanted me to stay, they shouldn’t have expected me to break rules and bend laws, putting my license (and more) at risk for them. If they didn’t want me to be able to screw them over by quitting, they should have gotten off their butts and done some work so they knew how to fill my role – it’s ridiculous how many things nobody else knew how to do.

Lazy rich entitled jerks drive me nuts.” pbconspiracy
4. He Told A Girl Had Crooked Eyebrows To Get Her Back For Bullying

“In high school, a bunch of girls started verbally harassing me during PE. This happened to pretty much anyone who interacted with them so when they started being mean to me I asked one of them, ‘Are you a bully because of your eyebrows. They’re crooked and the right one is larger than the other.’ Her eyebrows looked fine but I probably scarred her for life.” SantaTech
3. A Bully Gets Beat Up By The Girl He’s Been Picking On

“When I was a kid I was being bullied pretty severely by another kid in my class.

It was all verbal and one day I had had enough. I remember he made a comment about my nose (I was born with a cleft lip and palate and had just had one of the many surgeries I’ve had to correct it) and he put his head down into his locker to get his backpack. Something inside me snapped and I held his head down and slammed the locker into his head until a teacher pulled me off. When the school called my parents, they couldn’t believe their sweet little daughter was even capable of something like that and were seriously questioning if I did it until I told them I did.

I was never violent before and I’ve never done anything violent after, but that kid got what was coming.” Taylosar
2. If You Change Someone’s Browser Bookmarks, Expect Retaliation

“My brother once started to snoop about on my computer and he changed my browser bookmarks because he didn’t think they were very good or something. I would change them back and then I would come back to find them changed again.

Then, one day while he was out I went on his computer and wrote down a note of all his bookmarks and then deleted them all. I then added them all back with the same names and in the same order but they linked to different URLs.

I made sure I was around when he realized the YouTube bookmark took him to the Thomas the Tank Engine website.” ChiefChegwin

1. His Roommate Did Him Wrong And Is Literally Paying The Price

“I typically get the mail and bring it up to the apartment I share with another guy. We both have mailbox keys, but I’m the only one who ever checks.

Well, I was collecting Safeway stamps to get some fancy wine glasses — the day I’m going to bring them in, they’re gone. I basically tear apart the kitchen/living room looking for them, but they’re gone. Turns out one roommate threw them away.

I called him out on it, and he was defensive, dismissive, and went as far as to say ‘you would’ve ended up breaking them eventually anyway’. He’s annoying to live with but I usually just brush it off. But this was the last straw.

He hasn’t gotten his mail for about a month and a half. Bills, letters, everything. I know he doesn’t pay them online, and he still hasn’t noticed.” ubc_throwawya
