A Penny for Your Thoughts

In a stroke of genius, the house owner invested in the largest pumpkin possible and several bags of concrete. The house owner filled the pumpkin with the concrete and crafted an indestructible masterpiece.

When the driver tried to ride the pumpkin over, the car met its match against the concrete-filled pumpkin, breaking an axle upon impact. The sweetest part of revenge? The house owner had the car towed away, leaving the perpetrator without a ride.

The Ketchup Drawer

When a coworker habitually disposed of her ketchup-soaked trash in another's desk bin, the person who sat at that desk became annoyed with the woman. After asking her repeatedly not to do it, the person decided to get revenge.

The woman told her coworker that she couldn't throw her lunch out in her own trash bin because she couldn't stand the smell of old ketchup. The victim of this smelly offense began hiding the ketchup containers in the back of the offender's desk drawer without her knowing. This accumulated a total of six ketchup containers. The offender had not noticed the smell at the time of posting.

One user shared how their roommate had always left their bathroom messy. The user shared that her roommate left piles of her belongings all over. One day, the user found money on one of the piles and placed it in the messy roommate's drawer.

The roommate looked for the money in her bathroom and started by cleaning the pile of items on the floor. When the user noticed this, they decided not to say anything until the roommate had cleared the area.

By this point, the user felt it was wrong to tell the woman where the cash was and instead placed the money in a wad in the user's hamper. When the roommate found it, she was ecstatic, and the user shared that they had never seen the bathroom quite as messy again.

A Shipment of Shattered Expectations

A woman shared that her brother and his girlfriend once stayed with her. While there, her brother's girlfriend had been incredibly messy and had left many of her belongings when they left.

The sister, in a display of solidarity with her brother, mailed back the belongings — but not without a few alterations. The woman wrote an apology letter in permanent ink on a piece of paper which she rested on the ex-girlfriend's clothing.
