What is the best payback you gave to someone/group or business? I know there are some good revenge/payback stories out there that people evened the score with. So let's hear them. Will start off with a small one that I did for a friend.

A buddy and I were in a club when I was in my early twenties. My bud always had a way with women and was what I would call a pretty boy. He had approached this gal standing alone on the dance floor. She didn't look to happy. He approached and said "smile". She didn't do anything so he asked her to dance. She told him that she was tired of assholes like him coming up asking her to dance. He came up and told me about what she said. I laughed and said what the hell is she doing in a dance club for? So we laughed and I told him to watch what I do. I approached her and said do you want to dance? She said "NO!". I said no I'm sorry I said you look fat in those pants. She cocked her hand back to slap me and missed. We got a good laugh as she stormed away.

The best revenge I ever had was against my stepfather. Not my legal stepfather, you see, he was my mother's drug dealer and, when she got desperate, she traded me (yes, actually traded me) for a month's worth of coke. I was six at the time and spent the next thirteen years of my life locked up inside, being beaten and raped over and over. After he got arrested (the cops were on a drug bust and found me while they were searching his house), I told his violent but strangely moral cellmate all about it. He now lives according to someone else's whim, completely powerless to change his circumstances and unable to rest for fear of the man he lives with.

Thats why I think drugs are evil, they make people do evil things, and I'm willing to bet 1000 pesos that there's not one good respectable drug dealer out there. Also since morality is somewhat genetic and chemicals alter the chemical composition of the human creature thus twisting his/her morality.

Sad thing is, I kinda got addicted to them too. See, he'd ocasionally give me an E or a line of coke and I'd naturally gobble it up, since it was the only good feeling I'd get.
But that's off-topic. Did you ever get a good revenge or payback?

I was RPing with a somewaht selfish friend of mine and I made the villain he had to kill the evil anime version of him who was exorbitantly selfish, he eventually became less egocentric after that. I named the character Mron(c) lol

I liquid generation'd (http://www.liquidgeneration.com/Browse/#browseSabotage) a few people and I'm plotting a good comeback for the fundy Baptists who emotionally abused me.

Fundy baptists suck. What did these ones do?

Fundy baptists suck. What did these ones do?

A clique used one of their brainwashed drones who I happened to be in love with at the time to commit acts of emotional terrorism which has screwed be up bad that year and possibly scarred my career and my outlook on the opposite sex. They weren't punished because most of their parents were in admin or the children were part of a special fund raiser. I'm not the only one, there are many that left that fundy school with some sort of heinous phychological problem. The people there (especially the kids who fell into it[their propaganda]are phycotic and emotionally sadistic. They are always trying to emotionally hurt others for one reason or another and they always love twisting facts even when they don't need to. And not to mention the tactics they used on me to make me conformist so I'd succumb to their religion, when I was kicked out for "stalking" [a story the clique made up to make me think I was a horrendous sexual pervert even though I'm not so I'd want to join their religion to be 'cleansed'] I had trouble thinking straight since I was blocking out sad memories all the time and resisting the urge to conform to the myriad bad groups out there. The urge is gone now.

I really don't understand what their problem is with everything in the world that they don't own.

Stoicism all the way.

Stoicism all the way.

How so, they get pleasure out of the pain of others and in some cases themselves. It's probably some way of completing their agenda somehow. :(
They're willing to do anything to make them join no matter how wrong or low it is.

I think he was telling you that stoicism is an advisable thing to subscribe to for the time being.

Edit: Also, what a bunch of fucktards.

That I was.

And yes.

The best payback I ever gave someone was probably about $1.50.

What is the best payback you gave to someone/group or business?

I loved them. I have found that this approach works well.

Yeah that is effective because it's harder for them to justify their hatred for you.

As for me, there was a time in middle school when some kid would keep calling me a stupid rice eating chink. I got him back during dodgeball. He tripped on the ground right in front of me when I had the ball. I just threw it as hard as I could right at his face, giving him a slight concussion. After that, he tried to throw the ball back at me, but I just kicked it right back into his stomach, knocking his wind out. After that little encounter, he left me alone for good.

...I'm willing to bet 1000 pesos that there's not one good respectable drug dealer out there...

Well then, pay up. I've sold drugs and remain a good, moral, decent person (generally). Additionally a friend of mine is one of the nicest, sweetest people I know and has supported herself for months selling drugs. Although, it's possible people who sell pot and people who sell addictive drugs are different in nature.

As for revenge...

When I was in high school there where some rather fucktarded rich kids who thought it was funny to drive by me and throw their garbage at me as I walked back to school from lunch.

By May I had gotten sick of it. I had some eggs I intended on using the previous Halloween still tucked away, at this point they had gotten rather vile, considering I had 'started' them the previous May.

I retrieved them, opened the container and gazed inside, they were disgusting and moldy and perfect for the task. I brought them and some surgical gloves to work and told my friend of the plan. Thirty minutes before lunch we left class, retrieved the rancid eggs from my locker and walked to the parking lot. Donning rubber gloves we pelted the car with the moldiest, most vile eggs known to humanity. It was a rather hot day, I suspect the eggs just might have baked on in the sun.

The next day on the bus ride home we spotted it sitting in the parking lot of the auto body shop. Revenge apparently is a dish best served with a side of eggs. :D

*pays 1000 pesos*

Well, at the expense of possibly opening myself up to prosecution...:)

I was fired from a part-time job managing a sandwich shop sometime during my Junior year at Uni. The reason? I kicked a food container (it had fallen on my foot), and it ended up almost 20 feet from this stupid b!$ch, who really could not stand me (the feeling was mutual; I actually made her work, and would hold her accountable for her piss-poor work ethic). She went to the owner, told him that she felt "scared and intimidated, and didn't feel safe around me". It was bullshit, but I was fired.

Fast-forward a few months. I had another job, working in the University Mailroom. Part of my duties included processing outgoing mail, applying postage and taking it to the post office.

Now, any broke-ass college student will tell you that the refund checks coming from the Bursar are like gold. We would be flooded with students at the mailroom every time they were sent over to us to be processed. However, we would have to turn them away because university policy dictated that they had to be mailed.

I was processing these refund checks, when lo-and-behold, I saw a check going to the (insert derogatory term here) who had me canned at the sandwich shop. I knew how to feed the check into the machine in such a way as to make it shred; at that point, it would have to be sent back to the Bursar in order to have another check cut. I knew that this process would take at least two weeks.

So I shredded the check. And I waited a day or two to put it in the Bursar's stack of mail, just to make sure that she would be broke for at least two weekends.

The best part of the whole deal was that my buddy still worked at the sandwich shop. I had related my evil scheme, and about a week later, she was bitching about how the Bursar hadn't delivered her check; she called them everyday, and the only answer she would get was that it was in the mail. And she said more than once, "I really need that money".

Overall, it was rather pathetic on my end, I admit. But damn if it didn't feel good. :p

Thats why I think drugs are evil, they make people do evil things,

Two words: PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Blaming drugs for "making" people do anything is silly and unreasonable. People control their own actions, up to and including trading children for coke. I've done coke more than once and it never "made" me do anything. Obviously, the causal factors are more complex than just "drugs make people do stuff."

and I'm willing to bet 1000 pesos that there's not one good respectable drug dealer out there.

Lose.

Also since morality is somewhat genetic and chemicals alter the chemical composition of the human creature thus twisting his/her morality.

That's quite the stretch. Chemicals alter chemical composition, and morality is genetic, thus chemicals twist morality? So what, sugar leads to sin?

I may have altered some of my chemicals but I think the chemical composition of this argument you've made is 99% bullshit.

I approached her and said do you want to dance? She said "NO!". I said no I'm sorry I said you look fat in those pants. She cocked her hand back to slap me and missed. We got a good laugh as she stormed away.

What? Who were you paying back, and for what? Sounds to me like you both just hassled some stressed out girl for no reason and laughed about it. Maybe that's payback to the world for your mums not giving you a soul?

Thats why I think drugs are evil, they make people do evil things, and I'm willing to bet 1000 pesos that there's not one good respectable drug dealer out there.

Can I be the third to apply for the 'good respectable drug dealer' windfall? Oh, and can my best friend be fourth?

Besides, everything you eat, drink or inhale is a drug - even a glass of water or a lungful or fresh air will alter the chemical balance of your body. The dividing line between illegal and legal drugs is defined more by politics and economics than by health concerns.

Back to the topic:
Once, back when I was a teenager, I discovered that my girlfriend had cheated on me. So I slept with her sister.
I like to think that this left her with a daily reminder that she shouldn't have messed me about. A reminder that was sat opposite her every breakfast and dinner until she left home.
Pwned, I think.

I'm considering writing a book on paybacks to individuals and companies.

Thats pretty funny. I found that an appetizer of sardines packed in oil goes great with interiors.

A popular quarterback in my high school (ages ago) used to make fun of me.

He ended up going to VMI for college, and I asked his parents (who didn't know he hated me) for his dorm address.

I subscribed to a gay men's magazine in his name, and addressed it to a room number I figured was a few doors down from his.

VMI threw him out for being gay.

His parents weren't too welcoming - he had been quite the athlete and bodybuilder, and had a lot of bodybuilder magazines, which his parents now saw as evidence of his "gayness".

So they threw him out of the family.

As far as I know, the guy ended up homeless, jobless, etc.

Oh my gosh, thats the best story ever! The best I can think of at the moment was back in highschool. I looked really skinny and weak, so I got picked on a lot. This one jackass decided to just start punching me, so he punched me in the face and I didnt even react. He did it two more times before he knocked my glasses off at which point I demanded he pick them up and give them to me (I have a very intimidating angry voice) and so he got scared and gave them to me.

After that, everyone started picking on him, because he was so "weak" he couldnt even hurt me with repeated punches to my face. He got picked on and harrassed the rest of his highschool days.

At primary school once, someone kept trying to move my chair when I sat down. In the end, i pretended to sit down, but then spun round and kicked him hard in the nuts. Lacking in finesse? Yes. Effective? Certainly.

That is actually pretty damn horrible. In my opinion you sank lower than he ever did.

At a school trip about a year ago, some kids broke into our hotel room at about 1am, intending to sprinkle me with talcum powder and glitter while I slept.

Unfortunately for them, I get almost no sleep whenever staying in a hotel, and I have 5+ years' experience in martial arts. Despite the fact that it was pitch black, I managed to fight back enough to scare them off.

But the real payback came almost 6 months later. I was on another school trip, and stayed up late talking in a friends' hotel room. When I saw the time (around midnight) I decided to go back to my room, only to find that my roommate was fast asleep with our only key. I went back to the other room, where me friend let me stay on the floor.

Ironically, this guy had been one of the people involved in the first incident, and we had become good friends since. While talking, he accidentally revealed how he had broken into my room: my roommate had given him the key. And my former roommate was also his current one, meaning I had a unique opportunity.

After waiting for them to fall asleep, I went into the bathroom and searched for a tool. I found a razor blade. When the roommate woke up the next morning, both of his eyebrows were gone, as well as a good portion of his hair.

It was lucky, improvised, and fairly harsh, but I found it appropriate considering how narcissistic this guy is.

He made fun of you so you humiliated you and ruined his entire life? Yeah, great. :rolleyes:

Maybe his life was ruined for the period of time he was being picked on and humiliated.
Few people can understand how life is for someone thats the target of teasing and bullying unless they experience it.
Apparently-it can be hell. As evidenced by kids that lash out in one major event,like beating the bully to death with a baseball bat,or similar response.

You see this often enough to know that it wasnt a casual joke that caused someone to snap. Its a long process that usually encourages others to pick on the victim-or avoid them because of it.

so, what did it help anyone? two wrongs don't make one right.

She didn't do anything so he asked her to dance. She told him that she was tired of assholes like him coming up asking her to dance. He came up and told me about what she said. I laughed and said what the hell is she doing in a dance club for?
Maybe she was a lesbian?

It would have been faster to just shoot him.
Faster, yes, but his way was so much more rewarding. My hat is once again off to you, Remote Observer.

Payback ah yes

After giving one of the school bullies a good beating one day (I finally snapped and for the first and only time I lashed out at someone:eek: ), his gang of mates was waiting for me at breaktime the following day.... so cue the scene

I'm walking along a concrete path, with grass on both sides as everyone swaps classrooms ready for the next lesson.
Cue one knuckledragger who decides to run up really fast behind me and try and kick my ass.
I glimpse him coming in in my glasses, and neatly sidestep.
Grabbed his foot on its way through and added a large upward vector to his already considerable forward vector, the resulting vector ment he was now going up and forwards with a large rotational vector, at which point gravity took an interest and the result was one knuckledragger landed face down in some muddy grass while about 300 other school kids pointed and laughed.
Sweet!

Scroll forward about 18 yrs... and I was running a nightshift in a factory bashing bits of metal, we needed some temp help getting work done and guess who walked through the door... yupp Mr Knuckledragger looking for a min wage job... told him who I was and then said 'Sorry we've filled all the jobs.. good bye'

Revenge is a dish that can be served again and again with no loss of flavour :D

'These' threads? This is like the second or third time I've ever seen one of these...

Threads in which people discuss certain types of life events (including but not limited to events involving violence, drunken escapades, revenge, sex, traumas, etc.). I'd estimate that at least half of all the responses in such threads are basically bullshit—people trying to make the events sound more impressive than they really are, or inventing them in order to appear tougher/braver/smarter/etc. than they actually were. It's another form of e-penis comparison.
Oh, come on, how can you hate the drunken escapade threads? :p

Oh, like the OP in "who do you look up to?"

You know, "who knows a more noble person than the person described in the OP?" Someone more politically aware, more self-sacrificing, etc.?

Sex traumas? Why would anyone want to pretend that something like that had happened to them? I still get nightmares and there's people lying about it happening to them?

Yes, that too. (Not to mention the people who claim to know celebrities; etc. etc.)

People are ignorant as well as assholes; threads of that sort tend to degenerate into "who's more miserable?", and I wouldn't be surprised if by that point most of the claims were at very least exaggerated.

nothing major really.

lets see, ex-girlfriend a university. One night myself and a bunch of friends were going out. We were all a bit drunk. Anyway as we go by her car (One of those crappy little cars that you don't need a license to drive, all the power of a scooter) and i make a comment about moving it. So we picked it up and move it into the university reception.

but no real harm done.

Oh someone who worked for us was using the office resources and such to set up his own company and to steal company leads. I found out about it and had him fired, he had several pending commissions that he never received and had him discredited along the entire coast.

again minor.

People are ignorant as well as assholes; threads of that sort tend to degenerate into "who's more miserable?", and I wouldn't be surprised if by that point most of the claims were at very least exaggerated.
And it gets to the point where people who have real horror stories are acused of being liars.
I don't even know why I posted it. I did a horrible thing to get back at someone who did horrible things to me. I'm not proud of what I did and I don't know why I called it my 'best payback'.

For some reason internet comparisons make you act that way... you want to trump the next person, even if it'll make you look bad later, or if you regret the action itself. I know it's happened to me, and I'm sure it's happened to countless others. X.x

I boasted about ruining a man's life to impress strangers. Well, that's a black spot on my permanent record.

It's not permanent.... you can always delete your post.... ;)

Anyway, if you can thrice deny Jesus and then go on to be canonised (OVERSIMPLIFICATION ALERT), I'm sure giving in to internet peer pressure isn't too much of a big deal.

:D Thanks, Zangy. G'night.

There was this guy who used to pick on me at school years ago, some guy with a napaleon complex that would never would leave me alone, well one day when he was annoying the hell out of me on the bus, I snatched up his head phones and threw them out the window. They promptly got crushed.

That is actually pretty damn horrible. In my opinion you sank lower than he ever did.
I doubt he expected it to go that far.

I wasn't really expecting his parents to be that stupid. Just the military school.
