33 Ultimate Moments of Petty Revenge

For some people, “don’t get mad, get even” serves as both a way of life and inspiration for petty acts of revenge. Take it from one Redditor, who gave an email grifter a taste of his own medicine after the “unsubscribe” button failed to remove their information from his fishy listserv. “I took his email address he answered from and added it to his own list,” they recalled, “then signed it up for any other spam I could find.” 

After a few days, the unstoppable spam magically came to a screeching halt.

This witty scammer scammer is far from the only person to enact sweet — and often clever — revenge on those who wronged them. Whether it’s a gag plucked straight from That’s So Raven or a classic Wi-Fi prank, here are times people got mad and even…

sorakoi 7y ago Crossing at a busy downtown intersection, a very impatient driver waiting to make a turn honked at a lady pushing a stroller (she had the right of way). I slowed down, but the guy next to me straight up stopped in front of the car, then bent down to re-tie his shoelaces. 1.7K Award Share ...

porcelainvacation 7y ago My dad had an old truck parked on the back of our property that some kept stealing small parts from (сар, rotor, points, etc). We wired it to an electric fence power supply. One evening we heard a bunch of yelling and swearing and went back there and the guy left us some free tools. 2.1K Award Share ... + 30 more replies
Alucard1886 7y ago I was dating this girl. Thought she was the one. So I gave her the keys to my apartment. I worked late for my job.

underthetootsierolls 7y ago My mom & dad. This happened when I was in my late twenties. My mom & I were in the car. My dad called and they started bickering with each other. My mom got irritated, and hung up on him. Не called her right back, and when she answered he hung up on HER! Didn't even say a word just waited for her to pick and and hung up. It was so petty and hilarious to see my parents acting like children. I couldn't stop laughing. They've been married over 35 years. I still get tickled when
devoidz 7y ago I saw an ad for a work from home type job. It didn't sound scammy and sounded sort of legit. So I asked for more info from the website. enter your email thing. It was crap, and was sending me spam several times a day. For whatever reason blocking it didn't work. I got annoyed one day and answered back, stop spamming me. The guy actually answered. Не actually monitors that address. Не told me to unsubscribe. Which did nothing. After about another week of it, I came up with an idea. I took his email address
DrunkAtChurch 7y ago Delivered pizzas about a week for my best friend's shop. Warned me about a few customers, but one in particular was always rude to the drivers and never tipped. Lucky for me, I got to deliver his order of a single calzone, maybe $6 or $7 total, and he tried to pay with a $50 bill. All the menus and the website prominently said nothing over a $20 bill for deliveries, and he'd been their customer long enough to know that. But when I told him this while explaining how I didn't have enough change, he got
tacsatduck 7y ago Every year I go away for 2 to 3 weeks to work in a different location. One summer when I rotated through my usual supervisor took some time off. To cover the three weeks they brought in a person from outside of our group to supervise. I was working my ass off, doing my work and what should have been the supervisor's work. We were set up in a temporary office, with no connections to the outside world. We had plenty of work to keep us quite busy though. The supervisor's day consisted of playing solitaire all
livelytostito 7y ago I mailed my shitty ex-best friend an envelope double stuffed with glitter and a note saying I know what you did. I wasn't referring to anything in particular, but she lies about practically everything so it was enough to mess with her for a while. 783 Award Share ... + 8 more replies
mustard_fox 7y ago Sharing a holiday home with some friends and their 10 year old son started to be a pain. Not helping around the house and crying if he didn't get his way. His parents decided to just let him sit and watch YouTube on his iPad instead of disciplining him. So I logged into the internet router and would use admin privileges to suspend his device from accessing the internet. As soon as he got up to ask his dad for help I would reactivate the device so it seemed as if nothing was wrong. I did this
Thenevermore52 7y ago During my Freshman year of high school | was in a biology class that was made up of mainly juniors. This one guy, who sat next to me, would always be a jerk to me during class. I always did well on the tests so he would always look over and copy the answers from my scantron. I'm pretty sure he didn't realize that I knew he was cheating off of me. Well one day I got fed up with this guy messing with me and cheating off of me. So the next test comes around and
GreenElite87 7y ago Edited 7y ago Not me, but a friend's story from his time in the military: Receives care package from grandparents of 7 pounds of home made fudge and cookies, but immediately has to go on a long mission, like 2 months long. Instructs his bunk mates to wait for his return and all will be shared. Не returns, there's less than a pound left. There's initial outrage to be sure, but he's calm about it. You'd rather see his outrage than his calm face, because that's when he's plotting your demise. Weeks and months pass, and he
Irishzombieman 7y ago You young'uns here might not believe it, but back in the early 90s, supermarket cashiers had to type every price in by hand. was at a Vons in San Diego, walking toward the only open check stand with a single bottle of soda in my hand. Suddenly this hoity toity lady with a cart stacked to the top flew out of one of the aisles like a freight train and cut me off. I'm in a hurry, she said, then looked away like she was annoyed that I'd been born. I looked at the cashier. Не rolled
couper 7y ago I worked at a 50k+ tech company. I worked with a PM, Maggie, who mis-read my email and got her dates messed up. She scheduled a meeting for Thursday instead of Friday. When I told her she scheduled on the wrong day, she got mad at me, and emailed all my managers up to my vice president (4 levels of management) to say how much of a trouble maker I was ... It was her own fault for not being able to read. 2 years later, | have to work with her again, and I pretend like
nyc_gypsy 7y ago Edited 7y ago Roommate in college was disgustingly messy and a raging bitch. When I had the flu once, I had left a blanket and sweatshirt in the living room to keep warm. Woke up to a text along the lines of You're a disgusting pig. The apartment is a disaster. Get all of your belongings out of the living area or we're going to have a problem. And honestly if she had nicely asked then fine. And if she weren't insanely messy then fine. But she had to go full out bitch. She had forgotten that
Slightly_Askew_ 7y ago When me and my ex fiance were having a bunch of arguments after we broke up, I got tired of her constantly texting me about nonsense so I called -insert phone carrier- to have them cut off service to her phone that I paid for in the middle of an argument. 14K Award Share ...
45MinutesOfRoadHead 7y ago A girl on my softball team bullied me and spread rumors about me to the team and coaches. We were competing for the same position. She was in my geometry class and tried to buddy up to me because I was good at geometry, and she wasn't. So for a while I let her copy my homework, then one day I gave her all the wrong answers and turned in the right answers for myself. - 10K Award Share ...
hendergle 7y ago Boss paged me on my wedding night (yeah, bad on me for leaving the pager on but in my defense it automatically turned on after charging & I wanted to have a full battery before setting off on my honeymoon trip). Не did it as a joke, but it came at an ... inappropriate... moment. We had a page only if something's on fire policy, so I had to call in even though I had just gotten married and was about to go on two weeks' vacation. When he answered, he laughed so hard I just HAD
JayOHare 7y ago A horrible former coworker always claimed she worked way more hours than she actually did, and when she was at work she just browsed Facebook all day. The doctor/owner was very hands-off and just let her do whatever she wanted (despite me going to him with proof), so I decided to take revenge. She was not computer savvy at all, so I removed Internet Explorer from her desktop and installed an identical icon that, when clicked, would instantly restart the computer. It was so satisfying when she would forget and click it, losing anything that she was
XIGRIMxREAPERIX 7y ago Edited 7y ago Knew a crazy kid in elementary. Kid jumped across the table and tried to choke me out. I got suspended bc i instigated it by saying he wascuckoo for cocoa puffs when that the only thing that kid ever talked about and was wearing a cocoa puffs shirt that day.

Over the year i found out the kid was taking my work off my share drive (highschool IT was dumb and each kids folder
7y ago My neighbor's dog shits in our yard all of the time. It wouldn't be a big deal, except he never cleans up after her. I finally had enough, so I decided to go with a classic. I put a flaming bag of his dog's shit on his porch, rang the bell, and hid in the bushes. When he answered the door, I finally got my revenge by having an affair with his wife for the last three and a half years. Award Share 10K ...

VictorBlimpmuscle 7y ago My wife used to keep these little Godiva chocolates that she likes in her desk at work, but started noticing some of them missing and figured it must be someone from the overnight cleaning staff taking them. Fed up with losing her not-inexpensive treats, she decided to get revenge on the choco-thief in question by replacing the good chocolate with little squares of chocolate laxatives that look just like real candies. The next morning she saw several of the laxatives gone, and then from that day forward, she was never missing another one of her good chocolates
7y ago Unused to work shifts many years ago, including regular night shifts. My boss was an unpleasant person to say the least. Не would leave his keys on top of his locker. One night I took a small file to work and filed down one or two teeth of his front door key. The next day he was telling everyone of how he got home and his door lock was broken and he had to get a locksmith out which cost a fortune and he didn't get much sleep. Happened again a couple of months later. Then his
cubansquare 7y ago When I was in 7th grade, the startup my dad was a part of was failing miserably in no small part due to a crazy CEO. While at his house, my dad observed the CEO's toddler daughter picking up a piece of dog shit and licking it. Не picked her up and told her to give her dad a kiss. 6.4K Award Share ...
LAANAAAAAA 7y ago When I was a kid, I attempted to call my aunt. For whatever reason I accidentally dialed a 6 instead of a 3 and this man cursed me out for being a telemarketer. I was so stunned I didn't even hang up initially. My petty revenge was giving the number to all my friends and for about 2 weeks we called him every day at all hours 4.6K Award Share ...
badawfulperson 7y ago This was my best revenge. I went through an awful divorce. My ex-wife cheated on me, told lies about me and all throughout the divorce I took the high road and was there for my kids while she disappeared off the face of the earth. Her birthday was only a couple of weeks after the divorce was final. As the kids were young | was a good guy and purchased several presents from the kids to her. Among the gifts I bought a necklace with a big red A at the end. Her first name is Ann.
dobberg123 7y ago My sister and I once applied for a summer job. I was in charge dropping the applications off to the company one day. I got there after a 40 minute commute. It was closed so I just drove back home. My sister was mad at me for not dropping them off regardless of the circumstances. She told me she was going to go there herself and drop her application and not mine, since I didn't do it right the first time. My parents found out about this, and made her drive a second trip to drop off
EndlessCookies 7y ago I had a rival in high school because we got almost the same marks in everything, so I would 'sabotage' him in harmless ways whenever I could. My most frequent one was to empty out the contents of his pencil case, then turn the pencil case inside-out, before refilling the pencil case with its contents, and carefully zipping it closed with the pull-tab on the inside. Не still doesn't know it was me doing it, because it would happen while he was in the bathroom and not at his desk. 2.8K Award Share ... SpartanMartian 7y ago
emblemfire 7y ago Edited 7y ago My Dad wants to chop down the trees in our yard. Не has had to rake thier leaves over the last 20 years. Не is retired now, and now hires people to do the rakeing. My mom loves the trees because she loves nature. So they frequently fight over it. My mom wants to go to Europe with my dad and my dad wants the trees cut down. Не refuses to go to Europe until atleast two trees (of his choosing) are chopped down. My Mom won't let him chop them down, so they
ReCapCity 7y ago I'm significantly older than my siblings. In his junior year my younger brother had a girl who wouldn't leave him alone. After he rejected her, she started to show up once a week to leave creepy passion plays in chalk on our driveways. After that my brother still didn't communicate with her, so she started to TP our house while she was drawing her stick figures on our driveway. So my brother came to me and asked what we could do to get back at he. Не wanted to wait outside with airsoft guns. Pull the caps
Incontinentiabutts 7y ago | used to turn my friends cigarettes upside down in the pack. It worked because he would just put the pack to his mouth and pull a cigarette out with his lips and then light it straight away. So he would end up lighting the filter on his cigarette. Coughing wildly and then tell me to go fuck myself. Sometimes he would make the mistake multiple times in one night 914 Award Share ...
CANTSTOPYODELING 7y ago | currently work as a barista at Starbucks, and overall it's a good job but the pay is just ok. One thing I really dislike though is when a group of young junior high kids will come in and order what feels like a million Frappuccinos. So my buddy who frequents Reddit sent me this post about a guy who puts the name sticker for the order over the Starbucks logo in order to ruin their Snapchat and Instagram pictures. Last shift I tried it out for myself, and it was like heroin in terms of extreme
7y ago In grade school, I kept a bag of chips in the same pocket everyday of my backpack. This kid I knew would punch that pocket any chance he could for 5 days in a row. One day I replaced the chips with a bag of sewing pins. Не never did it again. Sweet sweet justice. 5.2K Award Share ...
