Passive Aggressive Ways People Got Revenge - Part 3

If somebody wrongs you, they say “don’t get mad, get even.” But for people who are as calculating as they are creative, they do get mad and then they get even! From unleashing a torrent of bugs on a bullying brother, to some of the most hilarious paybacks against cheating partners you’ll ever learn about, let's laugh at even more passive aggressive ways that people got revenge!

The Real Blue’s Clues

Neighbors can make your home life a dream or a nightmare, but a person named “angelhelp777” had some pretty trashy neighbors. Every garbage day they’d let their Labrador run into angelhelp’s yard, rip all of his trash bags open, and litter the crappy contents everywhere. No matter how many times he asked them to keep their dog under control, they never listened.

But one day, he finally decided enough was enough, and came up with a plan to stop this mutt’s mess for good! Because he worked at a printing company, he had access to a big can of sticky, slow drying blue ink, the kind that can make a real mess.

He then bought and ate a box of KFC chicken, before tying the leftover chicken bones to the bottom of the box. Perfect bait for any hungry pup! Finally, he smeared as much of the ink as he could all over the bottom of the box, turning it into a trap!

Before PETA starts complaining, it was a soy-based, non-poisonous ink, so completely harmless to the dog, but very, very hard to get off anything it touched. After putting the box inside one of his trash bags, angelhelp left it on the curb with the rest, and the trap was set.

When he went out the next day, the trash bag had, unsurprisingly, been torn open, but this time a trail of blue paw prints led away from the scene of the crime. It seemed his plan had worked!

Two days later, angelhelp noticed a carpet company van pulled up outside his neighbors house. Casually, he wandered over and asked what was up, and listened quietly as the neighbor angrily told him how their dog had come running into the house coated in a load of “blue stuff”.

The carpet was covered; the couch was wrecked; everything was ruined. In total, the damage cost them thousands of dollars. Angelhelp smiled, said no more, and left. As for the dog? It never bothered him again. What paw-fect revenge!

Salty Surprise

Everybody has that one friend that just loves to annoy you. Well, Reddit user “sweetpursuit”’s wife loved to annoy him back when they were dating. One time, they’d gone to the movie theatre and sat down ready to enjoy the film when he asked if she’d like any refreshments. “Just a drink,” she said, so he left to grab a drink for his girlfriend and some popcorn for himself.

But then it hit him, she was definitely going to start eating his popcorn as soon as he sat back down. It was something she did every time! So, after being served, he took his popcorn over to the station and put a normal amount of butter and salt on the popcorn around the edges. Then, he grabbed a huge helping of salt and dumped it all right in the middle, before returning to his seat.

He proceeded to eat the safe popcorn from around the sides, just as his girlfriend predictably stole a huge scoop of it straight from the middle, laughing at him as she did. But the laughter didn’t last long. As soon as the treat hit her tongue, her expression changed from glee to horror, and it was sweetpursuit’s turn to laugh! Even though it was some perfectly petty payback, I hope she wasn’t too salty about it!

Door-some Revenge

I think we can all agree that cheating partners are the absolute worst. But when Reddit user “Are-Sole” caught his wife cheating on him, she had the audacity to tell him to pack his stuff and go!

Like a gentleman, he agreed, but only if he could leave the next day. Well, the next day came, and once his soon-to-be ex-wife went to work, he dutifully started packing up his stuff and loading it into his van. However, he had more than just his clothes and the TV in mind. In fact, he’d only recently replaced their front door, but it was still outstanding on his credit card, so technically, that counted as his, right?

Wasting no time, this wronged husband got to work unscrewing the door from the frame, pulling it out, and packing it into his van as well! Just before she was due to get back from work, he asked the neighbors to watch the place, and drove off.

About an hour later, a phone call came through, which he sent straight to voicemail. Apparently, she wasn’t very happy about being left door-less! Then, the police rang. This time he answered, but after explaining to them it was his front door, they apologized! And to top it all off? Whenever the couple had argued in the past, her favorite thing to say was “you know where the door is”. Oh, he sure did know where the door was now, in the back of his van!

Payback

There are many ways to get revenge on a cheating partner, but if you happen to be a tattoo artist then there’s one method that stands out above the rest. The story goes that a woman from Ohio cheated on her tattooist boyfriend with his best friend! The boyfriend found out but decided to act like he didn’t know, all so he could plot the perfect revenge.

One day she hopped into his chair, and he got to work on a back tattoo she’d asked for, a beautiful illustration from The Chronicles of Narnia. But, after the whole grueling process was finished, she turned to look in the mirror and saw the shocking sight in the image below. A great big, stinking pile of poop, complete with buzzing flies!

Fortunately for our faith in humanity, it turns out the whole tale was an internet prank. That tattoo is very real though, which just goes to show how important it is to check reviews before you buy anything!

And another word of advice: please don’t get your partner’s face tattooed anywhere on you. But if you do, and then split up with them, well, at least you can do what the guy below did. It’s not exactly revenge, but you can bet it felt devilishly good!

A Real Potty Mouth

Manners don’t cost a thing, but if you’re not careful, a lack of manners can cost you your dignity. One man found this out the hard way after being politely asked by a construction worker to move his truck. He’d parked up on an active site to use the portable toilet but was right in the way of the work going on. Instead of moving his vehicle though, he just told the worker to shut up and then went into the toilet anyway. Big mistake!

As soon as the foul-mouthed man closed the door behind him, the construction worker leapt into the nearest digger. He swung the machine’s massive arm around until it was right in front of the porta-potty, pushed up against the door, trapping the rude guy firmly inside!

After what you can imagine were some pretty pathetic pleas coming from the potty, the worker promised to release the guy on one condition: that he apologize sincerely. And that, kids, is why you never disrespect hard-working people who can operate heavy machinery!

Never Let Go

Nobody likes being woken up in the night by a loud noise, never mind one coming from inside your room. But for 18-year-old Reddit user “Frankthetank8,” this was the norm. He’d moved back into his mom’s house and ended up in the worst room available, the basement, with the annoyingly loud washing machine. This wouldn’t have been a problem, if his brother hadn’t insisted on doing his laundry at 2 in the morning.

No matter how many times Frankthetank told him to stop, even resorting to turning the machine off multiple times, his brother kept using it at all hours. Well, one day Frankthetank simply had enough. It just so happened that as well as the washing machine, the freezer was also kept in the basement.

After the latest surprise attack, he waited until his brother had gone back upstairs before getting up and pulling the sodden contents out of the machine. Then, he took the clothes over to the freezer and threw them all inside. Have you ever tried putting on frozen clothes? It’s very hard, literally.

Frankthetank wasn’t the only one to go through with this perfectly petty idea though. One disgruntled resident caught someone they shared the laundry room with taking out their clothes mid-wash to put their own in.

So, naturally, instead of confronting the offending party they wrote them a nice note, removed the other person’s wet clothes, and then left them outside in the snow. They might tell you that revenge is a dish best served cold, but it’s really best served frozen solid!

Note Thanks

When you’re out at a bar or restaurant, being on the receiving end of bad customer service can ruin the whole experience. But after one customer was annoyed at a rude member of bar staff, the disgruntled drinker decided to put a real dampener on their night.

They asked for a glass of water, then took out some cash to pay their tab. However, rather than leaving the bills on the bar, they dunked them straight into the water, put a plate on top, and flipped the whole thing over! You can bet the guy behind the bar was flipping them something too.

Drama At the Theatre

We’ve all been there: you’re at the movie theatre trying to watch a film, but somebody behind you has their feet on your seat, nudging your chair annoyingly. Well, Reddit user “Dertyhairy” was in this same position, only the somebody behind them had their feet on top of his seat!

He endured a few minutes of the rudeness before turning around and asking her kindly to stop. The girl’s response? “If you don’t like it, move to another seat.” Oh, Dertyhairy didn’t like this one bit. So, he got up, left his friends, and instead sat right behind the girl.

His own feet were particularly pungent that day, and they were even starting to bother him, so clearly it was time to unleash these beasts. Taking his shoes off, he put his stinky, sweaty feet up on the girl’s chair, and gave it a good kick.

She turned round to argue, visibly disgusted at the stench. And what did Dertyhairy say? “If you don’t like it, move to another seat.” Furious, she got up and moved, and he re-joined his friends. Hopefully he put his shoes back on after, otherwise the whole theatre might have had to clear out!

Wrapping Revenge

Roommates pranking each other is a pretty common occurrence. But what would you do if your roommate gave you some jerky, and you bit into it to find out it was dog food?

One guy did exactly that to everyone he was living with, thinking he was a comedian, then went on vacation and accidentally left his bedroom door unlocked. The people he’d wronged got straight to work, wrapping absolutely everything he owned in over half a mile of plastic wrap! 4 hours of hard labor later, and the result was well worth it.

It's not just plastic wrap that can be used as an excellent tool for retribution though. It's unsure what the office worker below did to deserve, their entire desk and equipment being wrapped in tinfoil, maybe their name was Dwight Schrute?

For wrapping-based revenge though, nothing can top what one roommate did to his friend after a particularly imaginative balloon prank. He’d gone out of town for a short time, but when he got back and opened his bedroom door, more than 400 pink balloons were there to greet him! A cute placard in the middle proclaimed him to be a princess.

But this pretty princess was not amused. Biding his time, he waited until the offending roommate went on his own vacation. Then, he bought more Christmas wrapping paper than I’ve used in a whole decade, and wrapped everything from the bed, to the curtains and walls in the festive fun-stuff! He even got a Christmas tree!

Car-trash-trophe

Don’t you just hate it when you see a big, stinking pile of trash dumped somewhere it shouldn’t be! As much as we all hate it, most people, including me, would drive straight on by if we saw this pile of garbage in the road. But one man, while driving through the US state of California, stopped and rummaged through it!

What in gods name would possess him to do that? Well, it turns out this guy was looking for anything with an address on it, like a utility bill, so that he could figure out who the trashy owner was. And he found something. You might be able to guess where this is going!

After arduously collecting all the trash and throwing it in his trailer, the justice-seeking citizen then drove all the way to the dumper’s house. And when he got there, he dumped every last piece of trash right in front of their yard.

Terrible Tenants

Unfortunately, people don’t just leave unwanted trash outside. When French landlord Thomas Ravaux came to inspect one of his houses, he was horrified at what the previous tenants had left behind. Rather than the clean, tidy state he’d told them to leave it in, he was greeted with the unholy sight below.

Boxes of dirty old belongings, furniture lying broken on the floor, and a kitchen that you couldn’t even stand in to turn the light on! It didn’t just look bad, it smelt terrible too, like rotting food, mixed with poop? Yes, animal droppings also covered almost every room in the house, or at least, Thomas hoped they were animal droppings.

He’d never seen anything this bad in his life, and he wasn’t going to let them get away with it, either. After painstakingly lugging everything out of the hideous hellhole, he hired a truck to pick all of the trash up. It didn’t take long to find the tenants’ new address, and when he got there, retribution was swift:

You can bet those tenants were feeling pretty down in the dumps after seeing that!

Bug Out

Whether you’ve ever been picked on or not, we can all agree that bullying is a horrible thing to do, especially to a sibling. And back when Reddit user “purrfunctory” lived with her older brother, she knew this all too well.

Day in, day out, he would tease her, beat her up, and be outright mean. One day, when she was 13 and her brother was 15, she had some leftovers from a great restaurant that she’d specifically told him not to eat. Of course, the minute she turned her back he gobbled up every last bite.

Her mom and dad didn’t seem to care, Grade A Parenting there, so purrfunctory decided to take matters into her own hands. She went to the pet store, bought three dozen huge crickets, then waited until night-time to empty every last one of them into her brother’s gym bag.

The next day, he went to football practice, and purrfunctory watched anxiously from the bleachers. Soon, the moment came that she’d been waiting for; her brother reached for the booby-trapped bag, and when he opened it, his reaction was better than she could’ve imagined! 36 huge crickets all leapt out at once, and her brother let out an ear-piercing scream. Everybody else on the pitch came running in from all directions to witness the hulking, 6-foot-tall guy flailing around and wailing in terror.

All the while, his sweet little sister feigned shock and concern. Nobody ever suspected her, and nobody ever let him live it down. Purrfunctory may have only been faking sweetness, but there was nothing fake about her sweet, sweet revenge.

Spice Cream

If you’ve ever shared a dorm with someone at college, you’ve probably encountered a food thief or two. You know that person that seems to really love cheese, but never buys it for themselves. Well, back in 2016, Reddit user “UnusuallyCalm” had just such a thief in his college dorm, though this guy had a thing for ice cream. After losing two tubs of the delicious treat to a mystery thief, UnusuallyCalm decided to exact cold, calculated vengeance.

Anything but unusually calm, the aggrieved student went to the store and bought a third tub of ice cream, but he also bought some of the hottest chili powder he could find, the scorching Carolina Reaper! Back in the dorm, while everyone was out, he began mixing all of the powder with the ice cream. Then, he slid the spicy hot monstrosity back into the tub and put it in the freezer. Sadly, for us, we don’t know what became of either student. We can only hope this revenge was served spicy!

Parking Carnage

We’ve all witnessed some really terrible crimes against parking at some point in our lives! Most of us just shake our heads and move on. But some people feel the need to enforce a little parking lot law!

For example, the ego of the owner of the car in the image below was so huge that they parked their car across two spaces! Having such an inflated sense of self-importance, they probably didn’t expect to return from the store to find a shopping cart zip tied to the driver’s door! It’d be a real shame if that store didn’t sell scissors.

But it’s not always about parking. Although the owner of this car in the image below was parked perfectly, they made the big mistake of angering somebody who had a lot of plastic wrap and time to spare. We hope this guy was running late for work as well, just to add the cherry on top of this plastic wrapped revenge!

In parts of China, neighborhoods have waste collection stations where all the households in the area take their trash to be picked up by sanitation workers. Do you think these garbage sites sound like clever places to park? But ridiculously, someone did, and in doing so blocked both an emergency fire lane and got in the way of a worker trying to do his job. With no way to contact the owner of the vehicle, the worker decided the only solution was to exact revenge, in the hope they’d never do something so stupid again. And revenge doesn’t get sweeter, or sweatier, than heaving 37 garbage cans to completely surround the offending vehicle!

Sandy Surprise

When you’re out on the beach, there’s nothing more fun than building a sandcastle! However, there are spoilsports who like nothing better than ruining other people’s hard work. Case in point, Redditor “JustAFieryLizard”, was at the beach one day with their family when some bully with nothing better to do flattened their sandcastle!

After complaining to their uncle about the sadistic sand-stomper, he taught them how to stop the bullies dead in their tracks; you turn the sandcastles into sandtraps. First off, you dig a very deep, but very narrow hole, just wide enough that an unsuspecting leg can fit in it.

Over this, you build a thick sand dome which covers the hole from sight. Wait, hold up, a sand dome? How does that work? Well, according to JustAFieryLizard, the trick is to be very careful, and build two bridges over the pit first, forming a cross shape. Then, you build each quarter up until you reach the last one.

For this final quarter, you dig out a little sub-pit and rest your arm in it. Then, you use both arms to build the quarter up before sliding your arm out and covering the sub-pit up. A cute little castle on top of the dome finishes the whole thing, and makes it irresistible for castle-wreckers. It’s a tough process, and takes plenty of practice, but JustAFieryLizard was determined to get their own back!

And the hard work paid off, over the years they caught countless fun-sponges this way. Over they’d come, smugly ready to ruin someone’s day, and just after taking an almighty leap and they’d fall straight through the dome to their sandy doom. Anyone else itching to go to the beach and try this out for themselves now?

Husband Fills Wife's Car With Concrete

Every couple, no matter how perfect, have the occasional disagreement. Most of the time, they’re solved in a cordial manner. Most, but not all. Prepare yourself, because this is the most insane story yet! Back in 2017, a couple in St. Petersburg, Russia, were going through a bit of a rough patch, and it was about to get a whole lot rougher. A local supermarket chain called Veniy, which is loyal in Russian, was offering a promotion to pay out 50,000 rubles, or $870, a month, to anybody willing to change their birth name to the brand name!

Without thinking, the wife took full advantage of this and changed her name, without telling her husband. So, naturally, when he got home to find out he’d now have to call out the equivalent of “Walmart!” while engaged in certain activities with her, he wasn’t exactly happy. In fact, he was so annoyed that he took her car, drove it to the nearest Veniy supermarket, and hired a cement truck.

Without pausing, he directed the truck to start pouring its immense load straight through the open window of her car. And once it started, it just kept going, and going, and going. Only when his wife’s precious vehicle was utterly drowned in the hard-setting stuff did he eventually call it a day. It's likely that this resulted in some legal action from the wife’s end, the whole thing was recorded on camera, so she’s got concrete evidence!

If you were amazed at these passive aggressive ways people got revenge, you might want to read part 1 and part 2. Thanks for reading!
