r/Pettyrevenge I Got to Evict My Bully

I love reading/listening to these kinda stories. Reminds me of an Anne Lamott quote:
“You own 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 that has happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted to you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better”!

Some bullies don’t get that memo until it’s too late.

Story 1 - I'm normally all about bullies getting comeuppance, but in this case... OP really should've just left. This wasn't revenge, it was just plain mean and unnecessary. I get that "Sarah" and her friend were horrible back in the day and no one did anything about it, but at OP's age, it was literally ancient history at that point, even for her because she had forgotten it. Dredging it up did nothing except turn OP into a Karen.

Tl;dr OP didn't get petty revenge, she was just a petty b-ch.

A friend became our tormentor and bully towards the end in high school, chased us quite literally out of school. It actually changed out lives forever, forced us to become recluse, isolated, and withdrawn. Life became hell for years.

We messaged him yes later and found out why he did it. The same time he started using drugs and alcohol, got in trouble by finding a letter in someone's mailbox and using it to drain a poor guys bank account. It almost ended him up in prison and his parents were at the point of abusive towards him because of how he was becoming.

He apologized profusely and said he never should have done it, it wasn't right. He took it out on us because we were smaller and more sensitive, the perfect cushion for his rage.

Sometimes people have more going on than we realize

I quit teaching years ago because when I reported bullying, the administration would not only not do anything about it, they would punish the victims for retaliating, under their "zero tolerance" policy. A policy is only as effective as the willingness of people to enforce it.

I really enjoy these revenge on bullies stories

Oh man, hearing about people taking revenge on their bullies was cathartic. Sadly, meeting my bully a few years after high school didn’t go nearly so well. I turned up to an appointment with my psychiatrist, who I was seeing for major depressive disorder and severe anxiety caused by years of targeted and concerted bullying, only for one of my main bullies to be there in the room! She was apparently a medical student, doing her rotation in psychiatry, and was there to sit in on my session! Oh HELL no!!!

I falteringly explained to the doctor that I absolutely did NOT want her present as I knew her, which she point blank denied with a smirk on her spiteful face, but the doctor did ask her to leave. Unfortunately he’d already showed her my file before the appointment, so she had plenty of ammunition about me to spread around to her sadistic cohort of fellow bullies. My doctor was really apologetic, but the damage was done. I hope to god she didn’t specialise in psychiatry, because I’m fearful of all the harm someone so malicious and sociopathic would definitely gleefully inflict on her patients during her career. Ready access to exceptionally vulnerable individuals to psychologically manipulate must be a bully’s dream job.

Can confirm that 7" growth spurt thing. My father enlisted in the army at age 17 during WWII. When he joined up, he was 5' 9". While he was deployed, he grew 6". He dealt with the same postural hypotension I did (when growing fast, when you stand up fast, your blood pressure drops, and you can pass out.)

First story was just stupid

Bully stories like these are always fun to listen

all the bully stories just prove everyone needs therapy

I also ran into one of my bullies! Though I didn't do anything spectacular. And I don't think he remembered me. I was a cashier at a store and told him I was closed when he wanted to check out. Though that was... kinda more out of traumatized fear rather then being petty.

I had a bully in Jr high named Gryselda. She'd call me Stinky and I called her Greasy. One day as she and her friends were going past me she started barking at me, implying I was a dog I guess. I looked her in the eye and said 'Sorry, I don't speak b**ch.'
We dated in high school.

1st story, I’d have said ‘thanks, it’s from an old injury from being bullied in junior high, odd, you share a name with them.’

I’ve been bullied,all through out my schooling years…mostly because of my last name, literally from Kindy to Year 12. N I feel like it excelled when I got officially diagnosed with ADHD in year 8
And so far I’ve lived my life well lived

“Jarvis, im low on karma”

I would like to know that 1 commenter's reasoning as to how Ron killed Dumbledore

What’s up with that last one? Why would the guy pretend he never got the completed thing? Because he didn’t wanna make time for it? I don’t understand why he did that. I don’t believe he had a good reason, of course. I just wanna know why he decided not to respond and then lie about it. How was that supposed to go for him except badly?

Also, as someone whose son was a runner… not on the track team, but a textbook ADHD rugrat who ran because being chased stimulated his nerve endings more than sitting still… you can’t just ignore a kid who likes to cut and run from kindergarten! Good grief! Not that I needed credentials to say that. You don’t even need to be a parent or educator to understand that! But man, did I feel that one.

For the mail story, that kid better have gotten a super soaker from everyone on the mail route! lmao

If I met my bully as an adult now, I wouldn't really care to be honest. School was so long ago and I don't hold grudges.

Personally I don’t really see a point in getting revenge on your bullies years in the future when they did nothing to you in the present. The chances the they’re not a piece of shit anymore can be high

I caught my middle school bully digging through my trash a couple years ago.
She had horrible track marks all over her arms and a disgusting brown stain on her pants.
I laughed so hard I threw up.

My bully got brain cancer the year after high school, went blind and went into remission, then got cancer again and died all before I graduated college.

He bullied me specifically because my brother was disabled and because he was in the special Olympics. He would frequently make spastic motions at me and tell me that my brother was re*arded. Karma goes crazy sometimes.

School bullies, I have many stories, but I did get approached on two different occasions by past school bullies who saw me work and came up to apologize, so there's that. Obviously none of us really know what our bullies really are like at the time, since all we know is how they torment us, but give it a few years and you come to see which ones have done the growing up and become decent adults, and which ones don't...

I get the revenge people took on those who bullied them. I'm an itty bitty little person, I managed to hit 5ft, but I'm older now and shrinking a bit now. Because I was so tiny people thought they could bully me, pick on me, what they didn't know is that I like to fight and I was good at it as well. The looks on their faces when I kicked the crap out of them was priceless especially as I'm a girl. Never assume a small female person can't be dangerous, we can.

People being bullies to their bully once they have power shows a lack of growth idk what they're happy about as if people can't change

all these stories just tell me, be careful who you bully cause one day, it will bite you in the ass and I saw one of my two of my bully, we was actually cool with each other and the third one, I saw him, I was with my friends, if I told them about him, he would got jump or my best friend would have swing on him but I decide to let it go

I kept hearing another story from:
And was so zoned out i though all the stories were fron the same guy and was confused om why everyone was bullying op so much

I hope that everyone is having a good Friday!

The first story is so cringe

As someone who works in sped, I love that last story. It's nice to hear that not every district's head of special ed is a useless toolbag like mine is.

When the story is shorter than spelling out the title that it's based on. 💀

yes

All these stories healed a teeny tiny bit of my unhealed inner child

alot has happened with my bullies, some died, some grew up, one i would consider a friend now.

All the comments show that the saying "isn't just grade school, you'll grow up and move on" is inherently false. People remember. People hold grudges. And it will most likely bite you back down the road if you're the bully.

What did we learn today? All bullies will get some kind of karma from the ones they torment. And it is always deserved. I hope i get my turn soon to give out karma.

VPN DO NOT protect you ON PUBLIC WIFI, please stop spreading BULLSHIT.
VPN only changes your IP and localisation, it doesn’t block your ISP about knowing what you do, it’s not a cybersecurity TOOL.

My childhood bully haunted me as an adult just because of her name. But I couldn’t remember what exactly why I was carrying this hate for her so I worked on forgiving her. We used to fight after school every day. But I knew I could hurt her bad if I hit her and if I let the anger take over I was scared I wouldn’t stop. So I let her hit me. In my mid 20’s I heard her ex husband almost k*lled her. She got away with their daughter and met a great guy. In my 40’s she popped up on fb and we chatted. She taught me things about myself I needed to know. We are friends and talk every so often. She is happy. So am I.

I just hope that someone I consider my best friend doesn't see my past actions as me bullying him. I don't think I did anything bad to him, typical boys playing things in my opinion, but he seems to be avoiding me in adulthood, so I think I did something to upset him.
I know he is alive only because my sister works at the place he is at the moment. But when I heard that he is changing carreers from my sister, I felt that it might have something to do with me.
I hope that I'm just overthinking things and he is just being himself. Reclusive.

My bully applied at a job I worked at and even mentioned to the interviewer that she knew me from HS. When she left she came by and said hi. She wasn't hired. I got the satisfaction of her thinking she had it in the bag only to be told no haha

That massage therapist story is weird. How is happenstance an act of revenge, petty or otherwise? And clearly hinges on the premise that being a registered massage therapist is low and humiliating? I bet What's Her Name's house is waaaaaay nicer than OP's.
How is getting her wrinkly Gen X ass massaged an own?
Elder Gen X, with that boomer mindset.
(Yes, I've heard this story before, with the original details left in.)

How is this different from a a grown man still talking about a highschool heartbreak? Grow up and get over it. That was 30 years ago

I kinda have a story but I was the bully. I was an ass when I was still a youngster and made a lot of kid's lives hell. Flash forward years later and I run into someone I was a jerk to in school while I'm working at Walmart. I didn't recognize them at first but they wanted to brag about they're high paying position they just got so I figured it out pretty quick. I congratulated them and was genuinely happy to see them doing well. The color drained from his face though. I ruined his moment by accident lol. I did apologized for being a nob and I think we're on good terms now.

My high school "bully" is doing ok but peaked in high school. I use bully in quotes cause it didn't matter to me back then. I have thick skin and good friends and my mom was a bigger bully. My "bully" is now with a beer belly and a ups delivery driver. All when back then he considered himself hot shit. I wish him the best but I know he's missing high school and I have yet to peak

To add to the bullying stories, I recently started a cargo transport company and was looking for drivers, one of my old bullies applied for the job so I brought him in for an interview. It was pretty satisfying to watch him stumble over his words and get to live out the dream of “one day you will be working for me”. I did end up giving him the job and we’ve been cordial since then.

re: rSlash's ad: For clarity, streaming services don't block content for fun, they are following local copyright laws and the limits of their contracts. When you use VPN to get around this, you are spending money in order to PIRATE video. Now I'm not saying you're wrong to do that, you have to make your own choice, but why TF are you spending money to one service (VPN) in order to pirate video from a second service (streaming site) that you are ALSO paying for? If you're going to pirate just embrace it, drop the subscriptions, and download illegal videos in a free way. ... Or, you know, see what new programs are available in the country you're visiting that you don't have back home!
