Manure-Filled Hot Tub

You know someone took their revenge to the next level when it ended up in the local news! A disgruntled man was served divorce papers and immediately started formulating a plan. It’s never easy when a relationship ends, but most people work through their anger and disappointment with a therapist or friends. Not this man! He decided to make a statement to his soon-to-be ex-wife. This man gathered up a bunch of manure and completely filled her hot tub with poop water. Is it disgusting? Absolutely. Did he take things too far? Maybe. We’d need the full story to offer a solid opinion.

Tit For Tat

Living with roommates is fun, isn’t it? You get to surround yourself with friends and always have someone around when you’re bored. When you’re really close with your roommates, you can even do prank wars. Most people stick to the basics for prank wars, like putting shaving cream on door handles or plastic wrap across doorways. These roommates decided to kick their prank war up a notch. When one girl left on vacation for the summer, she returned to find her room stuffed to the brim with pink balloons. Don’t worry. She got her revenge. Once Christmas rolled around, she snuck into her roommate’s room and gift-wrapped everything she could get her hands on! Merry Christmas, here’s everything you already own.

Public Laundry Rooms Suck

Something many college students aren’t prepared for when they enter higher education is the laundry room wars. If you haven’t experienced this yourself, then you might be shocked by just how brutal the situation can get. It’s not at all unusual for someone to have an experience like the person who wrote this note. However, when most of us find our sopping wet laundry removed from its machine and placed on the floor, we simply sigh and rewash it. Not this student! This person proceeded to put the offender’s clothes out in the snow, leaving them to freeze. The best part? They even left their dorm room number, just in case the laundry offender wanted to discuss this issue in person.

The Pettiest Revenge

Relationships don’t always last. While it can be devastating, most people are able to move on and find someone new to spend their lives with. This man went through a nasty divorce and was court-ordered to pay his ex-wife alimony. The hit to his bank account hurt, so he wanted to make sure his ex-wife got a little hurt, too. He decided to print his checks with a picture of him and his new wife on them, along with the words, “NEVER BEEN HAPPIER!! I LOVE MY WIFE!!” We can’t imagine how his new or ex-wife felt about this decision, but the ex-wife is still getting the alimony payments, so it feels pretty equal.

She Aired Their Dirty Laundry On A Billboard

People do crazy things when they discover their partner has cheated on them. We’ve all heard stories of one partner setting their cheating partner’s clothes on fire or selling their most prized possessions, but we have to admit that this level of revenge feels even sweeter. Emily apparently caught her “dirty, sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly-endowed slimeball” of a husband cheating on her and decided to file for divorce. But before she took legal action, she paid for this billboard out of their joint checking account to put her husband on blast, publically. We can’t imagine the shame her husband must have felt. He probably needed to leave the state to escape the fallout!

Never Upset The Pack

Humans will go to war for each other and defend each other to the death, but dogs also form tight-knit bonds with each other. A pack of stray dogs living in this man’s town decided to take their revenge after he kicked one of their own. The dogs went to work on this man’s car. They scratched it, bit it, peed on it, and probably did hundreds (if not thousands!) of dollars in damage. Considering how shiny and new the car looks in the photo, we can only imagine how furious this person must have been. Dogs are smart animals, and they knew exactly how to get him where it would hurt.

The Ultimate Diss

Most people think they will spend the rest of their lives with someone when they get married. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work out that way. The divorce rate has increased tenfold in the last 50 years, making us question why people still think getting a tattoo of their partner’s name or face is a good idea. When the relationship falls apart, you’re left with a permanent reminder of the person who hurt you the most. Unless you’re like this guy! He got his ex-wife’s portrait touched up and turned her into a demon. It’s a pretty powerful display of betrayal and revenge, but we think he’d probably have been better off getting a cover-up.

Beware The Hotdog Water Ice Cubes

Some people don’t enjoy direct confrontations, so they need to find a more passive-aggressive route when they want revenge. What do you do about rude guests constantly coming into your home and disrespecting you? Well, the next time your in-laws are planning a visit, try boiling up some hotdogs and using that water to create a special batch of ice cubes! It’s petty, easily deniable, and the perfect way to express your disdain for someone without having to confront them directly. Honestly, watching someone take a drink of their water with these ice cubes in it would probably make the rest of their visit more tolerable. Keep this idea in your back pocket to try later on!

Never Mess With Construction Workers

Construction workers have tough jobs. They’re often stuck working in extreme weather, operating dangerous machinery, and being forced to deal with impolite people who don’t understand the importance of their job. You should keep this story in mind the next time you think about angering a construction worker! This guy was just trying to do his job, but when the truck owner refused to move his vehicle, he decided to serve up some stinky revenge by trapping him in the porta-potty until he learned some manners. We bet that guy apologized pretty quickly once he realized he was trapped!

Historical Pettiness

Have you ever wondered whether the desire to exact petty revenge is a recent desire for humans? It turns out that this is something people have been doing for centuries, and this is a prime example! Nearly 4,000 years ago, a person in Babylon took the time to chisel out an epic and scathing negative review to complain about a copper delivery. His pettiness is now sitting in a museum for all to see. Can you imagine if your act of revenge was so savage and historically notable that it got its own place in a museum? This is truly a level of petty revenge the rest of us can only aspire to!

The Vengeful Scavenger Hunt

A lot of the revenge stories on this list will involve the breakdown of a relationship because few things get people as heated as learning their partner cheated on them. This woman accessed her husband’s Facebook account and saw messages between him and another woman. Instead of breaking down or simply throwing his stuff out on the front lawn, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. She hid her cheating husband’s personal belongings all over town and put most of them in spots that had significance in their relationship. We can only imagine how humiliating it must have been for the husband to find this note and then spend the rest of the day driving around in a desperate attempt to find his things before someone else does.

The Great Newspaper Battle

Very few people get physical newspapers delivered to them anymore. It’s easier to subscribe and read online or get your news through social media, but there are still people hanging on to the traditional method of reading the news. One such soul found himself dealing with a neighborhood thief who consistently stole his newspaper. He decided to leave the thief a note requesting he stops stealing the newspaper. The thief obliged, but he also let his dog take a dump on the note. We have to laugh at the absurdity of what’s happening here. We need an update to see if the situation escalated any further!

Happy Wife, Happy Life

We’ve all heard the saying, “Happy wife, happy life,” and it seems to be particularly true for this couple. This woman was infuriated by something her husband did, so she sneakily poured water on the floor in front of the dishwasher when he wasn’t looking. This resulted in the husband spending at least two hours trying to fix the ‘broken’ dishwasher. We wonder how long the wife is going to let her husband suffer before she finally admits to spilling the water on the floor. Or perhaps he’ll eventually declare the dishwasher fixed and the matter will be settled.

Just Tell Me!

How many guys have struggled with their girlfriend or wife responds, “I don’t know,” when asked what they want to eat? It’s a pretty common complaint from guys, and we can’t blame them for getting frustrated every once in a while. Most guys will still make the effort to make their girl something nice to eat, but this dude was 100% done with his girlfriend’s indecisiveness. After hearing, “I don’t know,” one too many times, he finally snapped and served her exactly what she asked for. She received a bowl full of little slips of paper that read, “IDK.” We’re impressed with the pettiness and also a little nervous about this relationship!

Don’t Leave Your Dog In The Car

Like most internet warriors, we can’t stand it when people leave their dogs in their cars for long periods of time, especially during extreme weather. Most dogs will sit in the car patiently and wait for their owner, maybe bark at passersby, but otherwise just hang out. This dog, however, decided he was fed up with being left unattended in the car. The owner is going to come back to a very stinky surprise, and we think it’s perfectly justified. Maybe the owner will learn not to leave the dog in their car again! Or at least make sure they have a chance to use the bathroom first.

We’ve All Wanted To Do This

Apartment living is not for the weak. Neighbors aren’t always on the same schedule as you, but there’s a common courtesy most of us expect- like not playing music super loudly overnight or vacuuming the floor when most people are sleeping. Unfortunately, this world is filled with people who only care about themselves and don’t consider the disruption they’re causing to their neighbors. This guy got fed up with listening to his neighbor vacuum their floors when he was trying to sleep and knew he needed to do something about the situation. So, he decided to vacuum his ceiling at 3 a.m. when his neighbor is trying to sleep! The pettiness is real with this one and we’re here for it.

That’s Enough Of That

One of the biggest arguments in long-term relationships is the uneven distribution of labor. Often, one partner is left feeling like they’ve taken on more than their share of the household responsibilities. When you’re a naturally clean person living with someone who isn’t bothered by everyday messes, this can create some serious resentment. Instead of letting that frustration build up until it destroys your relationship, try taking this guy’s approach. He was fed up with his wife never helping to make the bed. Finally, he decided to stop making her side of the bed entirely! Is it a little petty? Yes. Is it also a genius solution? Absolutely!

Next-Level Public Shaming

We all saw the trend that popped up online several years ago where parents started punishing their children by making them hold up a sign in public that stated their wrongdoings. This was pretty controversial at the time, but it’s a very different situation when you do it to an adult! This guy got caught cheating on his girlfriend, and she gave him six tasks to complete to prove his love to her. The very first task involved holding up a sign in public that shamed him for cheating. Honestly, it’s pretty hilarious, but this probably isn’t going to earn him his girlfriend back.

You Cheat On Me, And I’ll Take Your Fridge

When a partner is caught cheating, and the relationship falls apart, there’s often a period where the former couple splits up their belongings. Some people take this to a different level and simply take the things they brought into the relationship without any conversation or negotiation. Most of the items they take aren’t as large as a refrigerator, though! This guy must have been furious and full of conviction to go into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment and take the fridge away. He literally carried it out of her apartment! We can only imagine the shame she must have felt when she got home, and this guy must have felt like a superhero walking through the parking lot with a refrigerator in his hands.

Calling Out Her Useless Husband

Here’s another example of what can happen when one partner feels like they’re doing more work around the home than the other. After endless nagging and pushing for her husband to help, this woman decided to take matters into her own hands. Since her husband refused to help with the laundry, she found a subtle and hilarious way to call him out. She hung the laundry on the clothesline so that their shadows would curse him out for her. We appreciate the ingenuity and thought that went into this!

Sibling Rivalry At Its Finest

Those of us who grew up with siblings understand the fierce rivalry that can develop. It’s usually all in good fun and done with plenty of love, but if you think siblings won’t screw each other over when the situation warrants it, you have another thing coming! This big brother apparently had enough of his little sister stealing from him and enacted revenge that is perfect and ultimately doesn’t cause any lasting harm. He buried her school project somewhere in these 16 folders, each of which has three subfolders, to teach her a lesson about stealing from him. We imagine the sister was pretty irritated when she discovered what he had done and probably spent the time it took going through these folders developing a way to get him back!

Don’t Touch Someone Else’s Food

Most of us have had the misfortune of dealing with a food thief at some point. Whether it happens at work or in your own home, it’s never pleasant to discover a meal you’ve been looking forward to has been eaten by someone else. What do you do when your roommate steals your food? Sigh and replace it? No! Take a page out of this person’s book. This person plotted their revenge for four months before they finally got the opportunity to play it out. Four months after their roommate ate their leftover bbq ribs, this person discovered leftovers in the fridge and savagely ate them. Just for good measure, he ate a note for his roommate to let him know why he had to get his revenge.

Another Reason Not To Touch People’s Food

What is it with people who take someone else’s food? Do they really feel that entitled to other people’s stuff? Well, whoever has been stealing this woman’s food likely won’t do it again anytime soon! Breastfeeding is hard enough for moms, and having to use your break at work to pump can make it even more draining. When you realize all your hard work has been taken by someone else, it’s bound to drive anyone crazy. This mom decided the best revenge was to let the thief know exactly what he’d been stealing from her all this time. Technically, he was stealing from a baby, so we hope he feels like the steaming pile of crap he truly is!

Cheaters Never Win

Perhaps if more people treated their cheating partner this way, there would be less cheating in the world. Maybe not, but it’s a nice thought! When this person discovered their significant other had been cheating on them while they were “away for work,” they knew they needed to create a special welcome home banner. Rather than the warm welcome the cheater was probably expecting, they came home to this. Everyone in that neighborhood and probably the entire town now knows that this is the home of a cheater. We bet he got laughed right out of that neighborhood!

Ingenius Revenge

With all the streaming apps available to us, it’s easier than ever to binge-watch your favorite series and get lost in the story. Most people take their shows very seriously and don’t appreciate people who spoil the endings or mess up their viewing. This ex-girlfriend still has access to her ex-boyfriend’s Netflix account, so when the mood for petty revenge overtakes her, she simply goes into his account and skips a few episodes in the series he’s watching. We can only imagine how frustrating this must be for the ex-boyfriend, and we applaud her level of pettiness.

The Best Way To Deal With Parking Jerks

Getting a driver’s license is necessary in most parts of the US. Along with learning how to operate a vehicle and follow road laws, it’s very important to learn how to park properly. We’ve all seen cars parked like this where they’re taking up multiple spots with no concern for everyone else that needs to visit the shops. Some people have taken to printing out little notes to leave on people’s cars when they park like jerks, but this person took their revenge game up to eleven. They literally zip-tied a shopping cart to the driver’s door handle of the car. We hope this person has a pair of scissors on them because they’ll be heading right back into the store to grab a pair if not!

You’ll Never Finish A Puzzle Again

How cruel does a person have to be to cancel a lease, leaving their roommate only a week to find somewhere else to live? It’s a pretty crappy thing to do, and the person left scrambling to find a place to live definitely deserves to take their revenge. Rather than doing something extreme and over-the-top, this Redditor found a subtler way to terrorize his former roommates. Once he learned about the unfair situation, he stole a couple of puzzle pieces from the elaborate jigsaw puzzles his former roommate and SO love to do. If you’re the type of person who loves doing these puzzles, then you understand just how badly this must have driven those two crazy! Well played, Redditor. Well played!

Don’t Honk At Pedestrians

As long as someone is making their way across a crosswalk at a reasonable speed and isn’t causing an issue for traffic, then there’s no reason to honk at them. Some impatient drivers may feel that honking at pedestrians will force them to speed up, but choosing to be a jerk in this manner can actually have the opposite effect. Someone honked at a woman as she was walking across the street, so she stopped and did a couple of jumping jacks. This is the perfect way to express your displeasure at the driver without getting into a direct confrontation. We’re going to keep this in mind for the future!

A Little Too Far

We’re all for getting revenge on those that have wronged you, but causing someone physical harm is taking things a little too far. Some people are absolutely obsessed with Halloween and become very invested in their decorations. When someone steals a carefully chosen pumpkin off your front porch, it’s easy to feel angry, but there are plenty of ways to get even! Just look at this guy, who decided to create an anti-theft pumpkin by gluing tacs all around the pumpkin. We hope any future potential thieves had enough sense to look before trying to grab this pumpkin or else they would need to get a tetnaus shot!

Justice For The Pizza Lover

Sharing a lunch room with other employees makes bringing healthy meals to work stressful. You never know when someone’s going to see your food and help themselves, which leads some people to take extreme measures to keep their food safe. One lover of pizza decided to lick each slice of remaining pizza before putting the box in the fridge. When he discovered the pizza was missing the next day, he put up this helpful note. We hope the pizza thieves actually read the note because they’re probably want to plan a trip to the doctor asap!

There You Go

On the list of pet peeves most drivers can agree on, inconsiderate parking is pretty high on the list. There’s nothing worse than cruising through a packed parking lot and finding cars like the one in this picture taking up way more space than they’re entitled to. Most people would simply sign and shake their heads in frustration, but we love this person’s sense of stylish revenge! Having carried chalk in his car for 10 months while waiting for an opportunity like this, our hero of this story came prepared. He spotted the rudely parked car and created a new parking space for them using pink chalk. He then wrote, “There you go,” just to make sure the person got the message.

200k Views On Her Revenge Against Dave

We have to feel a little badly for Dave in this story. The poor guy has sleep apnea, which causes him to snore ridiculously loudly. Apparently, the snoring got so bad that it drove his wife crazy, and in her sleep-drived and frustrated state, she decided the only logical thing to do was to record his nighttime snoring escapades. Once that was accomplished, she uploaded the snoring recording onto Spotify so the world could suffer with her. She even uploaded a couple of remixes! Shockingly, the original recording received over 200k views! Sorry Dave, but this is pretty hilarious!

Don’t Be Mean To Old Ladies

There’s a general consensus in society to respect the elderly. Even when they’re being rude or difficult, most of us will go out of our way to assist them or at least be polite. An older woman encountered a difficult post office worker, who flicked the stamp she wanted to buy onto the floor. Yes, buying a single stamp probably seemed like a waste of time to the post office worker, but there was no need to be that rude! The old lady thought about the situation, picked up the stamp, and left her payment on the floor, forcing the worker to come around the counter to collect it. We can’t help but smile at the mental image this story brings up. That lady has clearly spent her life learning how to not take people’s crap and we could all learn a lesson or two from her!

Savage Pizza Employees

Sometimes businesses give you the option of making special requests when you order for delivery. Most people ask for extra napkins or paper plates, but some people will ask for a joke to be written on the inside of their pizza box. It only takes a second to Google a funny joke and write it on the box, but the employees of this pizza place went in a different direction. They taped a flexible reflective mirror to the inside of the box to let the customer know that they are the ultimate joke. We have to wonder if the customer did something wrong like refuse to tip in order to deserve such treatment. Or maybe the pizza employees were just feeling particularly savage that day. Either way, the customer is going to want some ice for that burn!

Sorry, Not Sorry

One of the best parts of marriage is having someone to joke around with for the rest of your life. It’s helpful to marry someone with a similar sense of humor, so no one ends up with any hurt feelings. We’re not sure if the husband in this situation was just trying to joke around, but his wife’s response is perfect! The husband called his wife a sandwich maker and while she brushed it off in the moment, she began secretly plotting her revenge! The next time her husband needed a sandwich made, she didn’t take the cheese out of the wrapper and wrote, “sorry, not sorry,” on the wrapper! We imagine the husband didn’t call his wife a sandwich maker again after this brilliant display of revenge!

Your Bargain Is My Passive-Aggressive Revenge

Someone attending a garage sale became an unwitting partner in this person’s passive-aggressive revenge and we’re here for it! While browsing through a garage sale, this person found a Zales diamond still in its box. They read the note inside, had a good laugh, and bought the diamond. As soon as they got home, they took a picture of their loot and the note and posted it to social media. Plenty of people sell old jewelry and other items from their exes, but to be so public about it makes this revenge even sweeter.

He Played The Long Game

When someone wrongs you, it’s understandable to want immediate revenge. But sometimes it’s best to wait and let the need for revenge simmer until the timing is just right. When this Redditor’s cousin punched a hole in the wall of his home, he immediately knew he would get revenge. But he waited, biding his time, until the perfect opportunity presented itself. After an astonishing long wait of 11 years, the Redditor finally got their revenge. Their cousin bought their first home and our hero went over and instantly punched a hole into their wall.

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

It absolutely boils our blood to see people taking up multiple parking spaces like this. When you go to a parking lot with vertical parking spaces, you should also park vertically and inside the lines. Never do what this white car did and park horizontally across multiple parking spaces! If you do, you might find yourself boxed in by a couple of people willing to perform some much needed public service. We really hope the owner of that white car had an important appointment to get to that day and missed it because of his misdeeds.

Never Use Someone Else’s Email

None of us like receiving spam messages in our email, but that’s no excuse for using someone else’s email to sign up for a bunch of spam. Do what the rest of us do and create an email specifically to use when you want to sign up for something but don’t want to deal with their spam mail! This guy has been dealing with a stranger using his email to sign up to various websites for years before he finally got his revenge. The stranger used his email to sign up for SiriusXM, which gave our hero the ability to mess with his horn and lights. The rude stranger in this story will never have a day of peace again!
