Not all revenge has to be earth shattering. Some of the best revenge stories come out of simply getting people back in ways that are satisfactory. This revenge story actually comes from an eighth-grader who decided to take some revenge against his friends after they bailed on helping him.

The eighth-grader had been participating in a school candy sale. He had sold over 20 pounds worth of candy, and needed to be able to carry it home to deliver it. His mother and father were both unable to pick him up from school as they were at work. Deciding that the best way to get help was to bribe some friends, he got in contact with some kids who lived on his block and promised to share some candy with them if they helped him carry the boxes home. The kids agreed to help. The day that the eighth-grader had to carry the candy home however, he was surprised to find that none of his enlisted help had shown up. Later on, after he had managed to carry all 20 pounds of candy home by himself, he found out that his enlisted help had decided to accept a ride from another friend rather than help him carry the candy.

He was understandably a little bit upset. The next week, he was supposed to give some of these friends a ride home when it was raining. Instead, he simply got into the car a little bit early and told his mother that nobody needed a ride that day. About an hour later, the other kids knocked on his door, soaking wet and incensed.

Some revenge is about the little things. But all revenge is about making you feel better!

There are many ways to take creative revenge in the modern world, what with all of the offerings that technology has on the table.  If you’re thinking about doing something nasty to somebody, you’d better think twice—particularly if your foe is somebody like an electrical engineer who knows how the internet works, and, possibly worse, your cell phone!

The victim of this revenge was a hot tennis player who always talked smack—and then once decided to chase down one of his opponents after a game (who happened to be the electrical engineer) with an egg.  Incensed, the engineer decided to take his revenge.

He hacked into the tennis player’s cell phone, and reprogrammed his message to say that the tennis player was looking to “experiment” with men between the ages of 12 and 42, and then changed the PIN so that the message could not be changed.  Another thing to mention is that the tennis player himself was only 16 years old – so imagine the surprise from his mother when she called and tried to leave him a voicemail about something!

The family couldn’t figure out how to fix the tennis player’s PIN number, so they ended up having to go through a long and expensive debacle with the cell phone company in order to remedy the problem—and this was only after plenty of friends and family had called the tennis player’s voicemail.  To make a long and embarrassing story short, it’s a good idea to always think twice before egging your tech-geek acquaintances!
