Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don't like to talk
about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more
rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them
know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful
plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers, gossiping
friends, or nagging family members. Co-workers who make
comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra early one day.
Before the sun comes up, drive to each coworker's house. Reach under the hood of
your coworker's ear and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor
cap, the ear will be unharmed, but it will not Start, and your friends at work
will all be late for work on the same day. If you're lucky, your boss might
notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of
revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages
on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message
that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any
luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl won't know what's going on, and the
victim will be so embarrassed that he probably won't leave his home for a
month. When Morn and Dad and your sisters and brothers really
begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down
for a while. The dinner table is a likely place. Just before the meal begins,
throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait about five minutes and, after
everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd
noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell,
"Bugs!" They dump their food in the disposal, jump into the car, and head for
McDonald's. That night, you'll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long
time. A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The
object is simply to let other people know that they are beginning to bother
you.
