• (#16) Scamming The Scammer

  From Redditor /u/lululiya:

  So for the last 3 weeks, at least 3 times a day, I get a scam call from this dude claiming he installed security software on my computer and there's been a breach etc., everybody knows the drill.

  This guy leaves like, 3 minute long voicemails repeating the same 30 second spiel over and over. It's annoying. I called the number back a few times just saying "hey dude I know it's a scam, stop calling." He always sassed me real hard... so I thought hey, I have an idea. I just kept calling him back and saying nothing. I could hear him yelling through the receiver. Once he'd hang up, I'd call right back. All in all I blew up his phone for over an hour, I called him back 44 times in one hour. 

  After the last time call he was screaming nonsense and said "I am blocking your number, this is harassment, you will never contact me again." Sounds good to me. No calls today, and usually by 3 pm I've gotten 2 already. Feels goooooood.
• (#12) Don't Talk About Fight Club

  From Redditor /u/erekiddo:

  Throughout my time in my 1st and 2nd grade classes in school there was a classmate named Jonathan who would torture...me daily. From name calling, pushing me and ridiculing me in front of other classmates - this boy was an absolute nightmare.

  It all came to a head one day when we’re sitting across from each other at some tables and he asks to see my hand. I hold out my hand on the desk and he proceeds to slam a pencil into my thumb. (Leaving a permanent mark I have to this day). This incident was reported but he was only “spoken to”. The bullying still continued.

  Fast forward a few weeks and I’m walking throughout the school playground during recess. Being the dumb kid I was, I wasn’t particularly watching where I was going and walked straight into some monkey bars. The force was enough to topple me backwards and flat onto my but. Humiliated, I looked around and was thankful that no one witnessed this happen.

  Once recess was over and I was back in class, the teacher gasped and asked what happened to my face. There was a gigantic bruising/black eye forming on my eye.

  Without hesitation I blurted out, “Jonathan punched me!” He yelled out that he didn’t, but I quickly had a rebuttal. “How else would I have got this?”

  He was suspended for a week. He never messed with me again.
• (#3) The Song That Never Ends

  From Redditor /u/SgtSlaughterEX:

  I had two jobs, one was at this country ice house...[in the middle of] nowhere outside of my city. This place was pretty small, but was one of the few bars in a certain area so it would get busy. A lot off good ol' boys and oil field guys. 

  I worked the door, checked IDs and such, and usually broke up fights or kick people out. One night some trouble happens between some regulars and one guy tries to hit another guy with a pool stick. I happened to get hit in the arm but got behind the guy and put him to sleep. Next day the manager calls me to tell me I'm being let go. Apparently pool stick guy spends a lot of money and me putting him to sleep left him bitter so he called the owner. That's fine.

  Anyways the bar has a nice fancy jukebox. If you have the app you can just pick songs on your credit card and they'll play. If you hit play next on a song, even if they turn the jukebox off, it'll play when it starts back up. It's also unskippable. With the master remote you could skip a song but they lost that remote so they really can't do much if someone plays a certain song they don't like, and even if they unplug it, it'll play no matter what when they turn it on.

  Here's my petty revenge:

  The owner does inventory every Tuesday night. It also happens to be a busy night because they do pool tournaments and it usually gets packed. So here I thought, I could probably just play the same song over and over and there's nothing they can really do. I got twenty bucks in credits and that usually gives you about 18 unskippable songs. Plus more depending if the app gifts you credits.

  I picked a remix of Cotton Eye Joe, that comes in at around 7 minutes a pop. Usually when the pool tournament started. Two hours of hearing the same song has killed their business on Tuesdays. Even if they unplug it, it'll still play when they plugged it back up.

  I've been doing it for two months so far, last I heard they had to buy a new jukebox at a cost $5,000. I'll probably stop for a month then start again. 
• (#13) Going Up?

  From Redditor /u/chicagojess312:

  I was staying in an older hotel in San Francisco. The elevator was very small, very old school and had signage everywhere about how you couldn't operate it with more than 4 people. I'd also been stuck in there twice already that weekend. Each time, I called the front desk and they were able to recall it to the ground floor but I'd learned to be wary.

  I should have started taking the stairs, but was on the 8th floor and was feeling lazy. So on Sunday morning I waited for the elevator for quite a while. It arrives, I hop in and a family of 5 walks up to the elevator and follows me in. They were all large people and they all had huge suitcases. I politely pointed out the sign and said that I'd already been stuck in the elevator twice and that we should split the group into two. They laughed and said they were all staying on. Welp, I thought, enjoy your ride.

  I proceeded to run up the stairs and hit the call button on every single floor. The best part was that I could hear them complaining from the stairwell every time the elevator opened and nobody was there. Petty revenge never felt so good.
• (#15) The Line Starts Over Here

  From a former Redditor:

  On vacation, my boyfriend and I stop at the Louvre. There is a line up at the little cafe/snack bar. They have those standing barriers with ropes to guide the line-up, but the ropes aren't pulled across - because people are grownups and can see that it’s just a single line down one side of the front display.

  Cue a group of young girls in blinged-out clothes deciding they don't have time to stand in line. They go to the front and stand behind the person currently paying. They pretend to be oblivious to the 4-5 other people in line now giving them [nasty] stares.

  I am not in line but I see their little act. So I go along and start hooking up the ropes. The girls are gossiping together and ignoring everyone else around them, because hey, what do they care right? So they don't notice when I move the barrier just a smidge forward... and hook up the rope in front of them.

  The look on their faces when they turn around to order their coffees and find themselves quite obviously outside the queue was just... soooo priceless. Huffing and puffing, they had to totter their high-heeled [selves] to the back of the (now much longer) line-up.
• (#10) A No-Stubble Zone

  From Redditor /u/remorse667:

  I got turned down, by the manager, at a job interview for team member at Dominos because of my stubble facial hair.

  Weeks later I order from that same Dominos, and that same manager is the one who delivers my order, which is around $25, and I couldn't help but notice he has stubble facial hair. So I gave him no tip, and told him the exact same thing he told me.

  It's not exactly like this, but something similar: "Why do you have all that facial hair? Do you think customers wanna see that? Anyways, I won't be giving you a tip this time. Maybe when I order again, I'll be giving you a tip. But of course, remember to shave."
