Revenge: Your Such a Dish

Recently I've been privy to an alarming amount of tales of betrayal, hurt and rejection. If the world curves and swings in a metaphysical flow, we must be in a down swing (hopefully already on our way back up.) Different people handle their pain and healing in different ways (we're all snow flakes or some trite business such as that) but revenge is the most interesting path to discuss:

A list of revenge tactics someone has actually done or wanted to do to another someone:
Unusual or extreme:

  1. Filling out many tasteless, the more pornographic the better, magazine subscription cards to be sent to the person's work. (A friend of mine did this to her hateful boss who unjustly fired her.)
  2. Posting naked pictures of your ex on the Internet
  3. The hurtee calling the hurter's cell phone repeatedly from a pay phone leaving it off the hook (for a quarters worth) draining their minutes and padding their phone bill. (This works best when the person in question is between apartments and jobs.)
  4. Making out with someone your heart's killer is currently making out with to spite him.
  5. Putting gum in the individual's Disc man.
  6. Discarding one sock from each of the adulterer's pairs.

The Usual:

  1. Trashing personal property
  2. Spreading nasty rumor
  3. Going out with the best friend or relative
  4. Not caring about the other person.

*List does not represent the views of the management. The management does not condone the behavior listed above. Though Management may have participated in a couple, I like to think I carry forgiveness in our heart.
