The Noise in the Ceiling

The Noise in the CeilingThere are many stories of revenge that have to do with getting back against errant lovers and former friends, but here is a fun revenge story that has to do with getting revenge on a teacher.  While this sort of revenge isn’t particularly nice – neither was the teacher.

This particular teacher was quite fond of giving an inordinate amount of work – in one week the students had three reports to write about the Civil War along with a book report and the memorization of the Gettysburg Address.  Not to mention, she was famous for giving lots of detentions and was generally unpopular.

Additionally, she had an interesting habit of disappearing for thirty minutes at a time during class.  Finally, the students got together and decided to get their revenge.

One of the students brought in a small radio with long-term batteries, and she tuned it to a salsa radio station on a low volume.  Finally, one of the tallest students hid it in the ceiling under a tile.  Then they would pass the remote control for the radio around to other students in other classes.  They turned the radio on and off during different classes.  The teacher would ask about the “noise in the ceiling,” but all of the students pretended that they couldn’t hear it.

Needless to say, this drove the teacher a little bit crazy.  Eventually she started complaining to the staff who… also could not hear the music.  It ended up getting marked in her review.  Revenge accomplished!

Smelly Revenge

Smelly RevengeThere are many stories of revenge that come from cheating exes.  In fact, some of the most inspired stories of revenge that we’ve worked with have to deal with revenge come from the slings and arrows of love – and this one is a doozy!

The story starts out similarly to how many revenge stories start – a boy and a girl were in a relationship and everything was all good and well until the boy discovered that the girl was cheating on him.  The relationship ended, and the boy waited a couple of weeks after the break up so that no suspicion could be reflected on him – and then he sought his revenge.

He did so by purchasing about five or six cans of tuna in oil.  After draining the oil from the tuna and collecting it in a bottle, he snuck out one night and poured the tuna oil down the passenger side air intake of her new car. A couple of weeks later… whenever the heating mechanism of the car was triggered, the fish oil would heat up and send a smell of rotten fish through the vents of the car.  Of course, the longer that this went on, the worse the smell got.  Eventually, the girl ended up having to sell her car – since she was unable to turn on the heat in her car without gagging.

It just goes to show that cheaters never prosper – and it’s a good idea to keep your pants on if you want to keep a fishy smell away from your automobile!

Car Revenge

Car revengeSome of the best revenge comes through the minds of high school individuals.  While their version of revenge might be a little bit catty, that doesn’t mean their revenge isn’t effective!  This story is born from the traditional the-cheerleader-is-a-snob back story… and the pierced, tattooed individuals got their revenge.

One night, the teenagers snuck out of their house at about 1 in the morning, and went over to the cheerleader’s house.  They found the cheerleader’s car sitting out in the driveway, and got to work.  The first thing that they did was to wrap the car entirely in tape and toilet paper, and then soap up the windows.  Then they threw eggs over the mess and wrote threatening messages on the windows with antifreeze.

Finally, they took a picture of the cheerleader from the school yearbook and then burned half of it, just to give the entire endeavor that “voo doo” feeling.  Then they rang the doorbell and ran away.

Well, it turned out that it was the dad that answered the door, and he was somewhat less than pleased at the vista that greeted him.  He ended up calling the cops, so the group of teenagers had to hide on their way home.  They managed to make it back unscathed, however, and lived to tell the tale of their revenge another day!

It just goes to show that it’s probably in your best interest to not be a snob.  Not to say that we condone soaping windows and burning pictures, but the best way to avoid getting a dose of revenge is to avoid being a bad person in the first place!

Risqué Revenge

Risque revengeThis revenge story takes place in the 1970s, when tube tops were still thought to be a good idea.  There was one gentleman who had a habit of harassing girls with stunts like snapping bras and that sort of thing.  One day this gent was at a party with a bunch of ladies who were wearing tube tops.  He thought that it would be a clever idea to sneak up behind a girl and pull her tube top down, exposing her breasts to the rest of the party.

After she managed to get her tube top back up, she turned around and poked him in the eyes.  This made him cover his face in pain, and she took advantage of his distraction to pull his pants and underwear down.  Not satisfied with the exposure, she reached out and grabbed his testicles while he stood there and screamed “let go of my balls!” over and over and over.  Eventually she did let go, but he was in so much pain that he was completely unable to pull up his pants for ten minutes.

It just goes to show that even though you may like the ladies, it might be worthwhile to act more like a gentleman than a brute – else wise you might end up in a painful situation with your pants down!

Religious Revenge

religious revenge It is a strange person who truly enjoys getting visited by individuals who go door-to-door selling or trying to advertise religious information. In fact, the only people who seem to truly enjoy these visits are the ones who get pleasure out of messing with them, and even though there are some great stories that have come from these sorts of pranks it is not necessarily a kind of revenge.

This story, however, is definitely a form of revenge. One homeowner kept on having a pair of Mormons come to his house and try to solicit him. No matter what he did or said, they never would leave him alone. Finally, he got fed up and decided to take matters into his own hands with a little bit of creative revenge.

What the homeowner did was go to a website that is owned by Reverent R.G. Cox. What this website does is raise money for charities by selling the Mark of the beast. Essentially, the homeowner donated some money to some worthy causes in order for a letter to be sent to the Mormons saying that their souls had been successfully tainted by the Mark of the beast.

Of course, the Mormons were somewhat less than pleased to have this be on their records. They were even less pleased when they could not get the charity websites revoke the letter. It just goes to show: no matter if you are selling goods or spiritual redemption, it’s really not a good idea to go about bothering the unwilling. Most people find their own way to salvation, and if they do not they will definitely find her own way toward revenge!
