I broke a leg in middle school and this asshole kid would intentionally stand in front of me and shit talk me on my way to one of my classes, moving left and right so I couldn't pass him for a few minutes.

This occurred 3 days in a row, on the third day, just as he started talking, I yanked one of my crutches up into his crotch so hard he lifted off the ground, then fell down screaming and crying.

Crutching my way over top of his convulsing body felt better then anything I've ever experienced since.

Since people seem to like this story I'll follow up with the aftermath.

I had no classes with this kid and didn't know him outside this event, pretty sure he was younger then me.

I had been concerned that I would get in trouble for hurting him or that he might jump me later.

The day following the event I got called to the principal's office and was told that another student said I assaulted them. So I was pretty nervous.

I crutched my way to the principle's office and explained what had happened. He kept a very strait poker face during my explanation and at the end he smiled and cordially told me to go back to class and not to worry about it. (I think he thought it was funny)

I only had about 3 months till I moved from middle school to high school and I never saw that kid again. Not in the halls at middle school, not in high school.

No idea whatever happened to him.

But I do occasionally get a kick out of imagining him trying to explain to the school administrators how a kid on crutches had "assaulted" him. And how they must have all had a good laugh about it at his expense.

I got what I'd call pretty sweet revenge on an ex years ago, and then immediately after I felt like shit about it because I really got her good and convinced myself I was the bad guy. Found out just recently that she's also done a bunch of really fucked up shit to guys she's met since and at least two have called the cops on her for obsessive stalkerish and threatening behavior. That guilt riddled me for years and now I am finally burdened of that guilt after finding out I got back at someone who harbors nefarious intent. So I kinda ran through the gamut on this topic. I've now experienced both the guilt and regret and the satisfaction in one scenario.

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, this bully snuck me a punch in the nose for no reason and I bled like crazy.

Months later... After school I happened to catch him out the corner of my eye, running I guess for the ice cream truck. He was running downhill on the sidewalk towards me.

I gently stuck my leg out, and the timing was perfect. He flew and tumbled like 20 yards down the sidewalk and got busted the F up. His older brother was nearby and saw it and asked me "you did that?" I was like "did what". It was all so smooth.

Weeks later I also approached them with my 2 older brothers, and they wanted no part of us after that.

I've gotten revenge to the point where I actually consider it revenge 4 times in my life and it was definitely worth it each time.

Most satisfying was a kid in high school on the football team him and his friends picked on me in gym everyday till one day he spit in my face and he ended up with a pneumothorax and a broken nose. So his big brother showed up in the parking lot threatening me and punched holes in the hood of my car with a tack hammer, so I waited a few days and I went to their house at 3am and stole his Camaro and drove it off the edge of the rock quarry and watched that fucker sink to the bottom. So his dad shows up at school walking around with an axe handle looking for me and someone told the principal and he called the cops and I paid these 3 poor ass brothers that lived near them everyone called the dirt brothers because they were never clean to go to their house and throw rocks through all of their windows at night and when they got replaced to do it again.

No one in that family ever even looked me in the eye again.

Revenge to me is a tool I carefully wield in order to prevent something from happening to me again. If I was wronged on accident or unintentionally that's one thing. But if it's someone that did it on purpose and I deem they will or very likely do it again I will seek revenge every single time and I will up the ante until they decide it's better to just stop.

It's also quite satisfying to right a wrong for my own personal satisfaction.

I have always loved and relished in revenge!!! It's one of the great pleasure in life.

I love taking revenge, and if you do it years later is lovely to see the face of the victim realizing that they should be more carefull who they fk with.

I was railroaded out of a company I used to work for by one real shitbag of a person. They used a false allegation to get me out after harrassing me daily for 6 months. They were interviewing people who I interacted with trying to get someone to say I had bad mouthed the company or done something wrong, when I took a break I had someone sitting at my desk timing how long I had been gone. I was accused of all kinds of bullshit over those 6 months including spurious fraud charges. When I was finally let go I wrote an email to the owner of the company detailing my experience. This resulted in the shitbag getting fired. Three years later he then became the head of a department at a different company my mother worked for. She was then harassed using the same tactics and eventually let go. They basically got rid of all of the top seniority workers since they could replace them with new people who hadn't accrued wage increases over the last 25 years. This slimy fuck even got transferred out of the department while they were getting rid of her and then transferred right back in after she was let go to avoid any sort of legal entanglement. I am keeping my fingers crossed for his cancer diagnosis.

Fuck em

As soon as someone crosses that line they're dead to me. They aren't worth a single fucking second more of my time, thoughts or energy.

 

[Kenpachii]

Not a hateful person.

If you cross the line i will directly let you know it and take revenge pretty much instantly. If it takes longer then a few days i probably already forgot about it then.

 

[interactivemonodrama]

Usually people that I want revenge on, are miserable anyway so whats the point? Also I am too lazy.

now that I think about it some kid in kindergarten punched me in the face for no dam reason i wish I got revenge on that son-a-b!tch, but never saw him again after like 1st or 2nd grade I think.

Revenge is never a solution.

 

[kiunchbb]

Only if it is convenient and completely safe, I am not interrupting my daily life or waste brain cell to plan a revenge.

I got my revenge on life a fear years ago...

I got bullied pretty hard while being in my early teens and I don't really know why honestly, I had a lot of good friends, but somehow some people tought I would be good target for harrassment. Got punched, strangled, kicked and all that shit.
I managed to end that on my own, never told anyone about it. I got older, things got better, I got taller ( I am 1.94 mtr. / 6.36 feet for my fellow Mericans).

When I was 19, I went to a party across the border Germany/Austria. When I arrived there by train, a group of 14-16 year olds, I think they were 6 or 7 of them, spat on me and wanted to fight me. One of them attacked me, he clearly knew what he did, maybe he was in some kind of training for boxing or whatever.
He got me down on the ground, choked me, while one of his fucking friends, the smallest of them, kicked me right in the face. I managed to get off and some people helped me out there and I got away.
But as you can imagine, this shit scarred me for many years, in hindsight, I might should have talked to a psychologist but whatever.

Over the years, I started to accept it and to shrug it off, but I always said to myself, one day you will get a chance to make up for that, for you losing like that.

Five years later, the day had come. I was 24 then, went to a small private party with my best friend. Everything was fun, met a bunch of cool guys, talked a lot about music and shit.
Then, one moron there tought it would be funny to pick on my friend, not knowing that I was with him.
My friend is absolutely non violent, I knew if this escalated, I had to fight this little bitch.
A few ours later, we wanted to go outside for a smoke and we had to cross the dancefloor to do so. In the middle of said floor, that drunk piece of shit attacked my friend while I was right behind him.

Of course I saw that, I got so fucking mad that this little wannabe gangster piece of shit attacked my best friend, that I jumped him. I threw him against the nearest wall, then I punched him right in his fucking face, he collapsed, fell on the floor, knock out, that little pussy.

Then I left the party together with my friend, nobody touched us, they just asked me to leave please, so I did. Non of his friends came, he just yelled after us some gibberish.

I never felt so good in my life before.

I haven't regretted it since I was a kid, but I haven't actively sabotaged anyone for revenge.

What I will do is provide the person with enough rope to hang themselves. Oftentimes they are too stupid to even realize how bad they look though, so if I get any satisfaction from it, it's only in my own head.
