When someone has wronged you, it’s hard not to think of dozens of ways to get them back. The people on this list got their revenge, and it was golden. We’ve put together a list of revenge stories so good, by the time you’re done reading them – you’ll wish you had the guts to pull them off yourself. Don’t Mess With Bernie This grandma deserves a standing ovation. We don’t have grandchildren yet, but we understand her frustration – it must be hard knowing people are just waiting for the moment you pass to inherit your money. Instead of getting sad about it, she got revenge. She didn’t let them win, in fact, Bernie to use her money to better use – she put an advertisement in every magazine with a direct message to her ungrateful family members. You go, Grandma!

Payback at Its Finest When you get married, you never expect the marriage to end – getting a divorce can often turn into a mess. You have to split up assets, and no one is ever happy with the outcome. After this couple’s split, this man had to pay alimony to his ex-wife, and instead of just writing her checks as anyone else would, he decided to take it to the next level. He printed photos of himself and his new wife on the checks. We salute you, Sir!

What Do You Want? In every relationship, the hardest question to answer comes down to six words: “What do you want to eat.” This guy got fed up with his girlfriend answering the question with the same answer time and time again. Whenever this guy would ask his girlfriend what she wanted for dinner, she would respond, “I don’t know.” So, he took her response literally and made her an IDK salad. We cannot get over how genius this is – he even handed it to her with a fork.

My Side/Your Side Everyone has their morning routine, and if it’s hard for you to wake up and start your day, your morning routine may take a little longer than your partner. This usually means that one person is stuck making the bed while the other is rushing to get to work. This man got so tired of always making the bed, and he decided it was enough and started only making his side of the bed, leaving his wife’s side messy. We get it, man, it’s exhausting being the only one taking care of things.

Fish Tacos? We saw how one person got revenge on their food-thief – and what we see here is a new approach to this storyline. This person was sick and tired of someone stealing their lunch at work, so they did what any reasonable person would do (not!) and put cat food in their tacos as payback. We do not envy the person that took a bite out of this seemingly harmless taco – our thoughts are with you!

Love You FOREVER Finding out your partner cheated on you is heartbreaking, especially when you think all is going well with you two. Once you know the bitter news, you can choose one of two strategies – either sulk in your misery or get sweet, sweet revenge. This girl chose the latter and got the best retaliation – she took convinced her cheating boyfriend to get matching tattoos. As she watched her boyfriend go first, she picked up her belongings and went home. Our only question is, what tattoo is this guy stuck with for the rest of his life?

Free Monkey Solicited calls are the absolute worst – once someone has your phone number, they will not stop calling, even when you’ve politely responded that you are simply not interested. Instead of giving in, this guy decides to get back at the people that call him by putting their number on outrageous fake ads. If anything, this type of revenge is pure genius – having random people call the numbers that won’t stop calling you. We call it – giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Parking Lot Revenge Looking for a parking spot in a crowded parking lot can be aggravating, especially when you see that a lot of people have done a bad job of parking their cars. It gets even worse when you notice someone who has taken two perfectly good parking spots to park their vehicle poorly. Instead of writing a note, as most people do, this upset shopper took a shopping cart and zip-tied it to this poorly parked car.

A True Scandal Almost everyone we know is using someone else’s Netflix account – kudos to those seldom few who are still paying! When you go through a breakup, it’s hard letting go, it’s also hard to let go of your significant other’s Netflix account – and this girl continued using her ex’s. Regina didn’t mind, and she let her watch her favorite series, Scandal. She had a masterplan in mind, she would let her ex watch Scandal – and then change the password the second before she got to the series finale. Checkmate.

Staying Within the Lines We prefer viewing this as a friendly reminder rather than revenge, but it is what it is. Another poorly parked car recieved retaliation for their inconsiderate parking. This is a double burn – the first thing this vengeful person did was compare this driver to a three-year-old, ouch! The second thing they did was not so smoothly hint that this driver was bad at parking. We can’t help but wonder how many of these flyers this guy has in their car and how often they hand them out.

Back at it Again The moral of the story here is – never underestimate the power of a tired, yet powerful woman. This woman got so tired of her husband’s snoring, she recorded it and uploaded it to Spotify, so that the world could suffer with her. We’re guessing the world didn’t suffer that much, seeing as though this audio has a whopping 200 thousand streams. Maybe someone was missing their husband’s snore, so they decided to stream Dave’s snore instead?

Editing Your Ex When this woman’s ex wrote her an apology letter for all he had done, pouring his heart out onto paper – she did what anyone would do, she read the whole thing. She took every word he wrote seriously, but it didn’t stop there – she proofread the whole letter, editing it. When she was done reading it, she graded the letter, giving him a 61 out of 100 (or a D-). She even wrote him feedback at the bottom, explaining that there was room for much improvement.

Poor Choice of Napkin There comes a stage in life when you’re kids don’t want to be treated like kids anymore. They get frustrated at all the things that they once thought were endearing. That’s exactly what happened here, this kid’s mom asked her mom to stop putting notes in her lunchbox, so that’s what her mom did. Her passive-aggressive note is giving us life. This savage mom explained that this was NOT an “I love you” note. It was, in fact, a poor choice of a napkin.

Pumpkin Picking The holiday season is a hectic time of year. Before looking for the perfect Christmas tree comes finding the perfect Halloween pumpkin – sometimes, this leads to people fighting over pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. In contrast, others opt for stealing pumpkins off of their neighbor’s front porches. This guy got his revenge on his pumpkin stealing neighbor by gluing thumbtacks to the replacement pumpkin he bought. We hope that whoever was planning on stealing this pumpkin noticed the tacks before picking it up.

Surprise Coffee Creamer When we’re reaching for the milk in our office fridge, we trust the fact that we’re taking out regular milk. Would you think twice if someone brought their own milk into the office? We know we wouldn’t. This woman brought her own milk into work and turned out, it wasn’t cow’s milk. We’re confused on why she would wait a week to speak up (or write a note in this case). On the bright side, the milk was organic, so they should be feeling strong and healthy.

Nickelback Makeover You know those people that just won’t shut up about the bands they hate? They bring up the bands at every given moment, oblivious to the fact that no one cares. This couple was housesitting their Nickelback-hating friends’ home and came up with the perfect revenge. They re-decorated their friends’ whole house with Nickelback lyrics. Do we think this is evil genius-level payback? Yes. Do we love it? Yes. Do we want to see the whole house? YES!

Cookies & Chili Powder We all have that friend who says they’re going to start a diet, and that they want you to do everything in your power to help them. Those same friends are usually the ones digging into the ice-cream tub around 20 minutes after they swore they were dieting. This person decided to take their friend’s request to help them diet very seriously and added chili powder to their friend’s tub of ice-cream. This is some next-level friendship, but also very, very vengeful.

They’re Neighbors We’ve all heard of “upstairs neighbor syndrome,” you know, those neighbors upstairs that are so loud you can’t tell if they’re bowling upstairs or if there is a stampede of elephants prancing around. Whatever is going on upstairs, you want it to stop! Well, in this case, it’s the opposite, the upstairs neighbors put up sticky notes filling in the world on the fact that they had loud downstairs neighbors. The downstairs neighbors took this light-heartedly and made it into a joke, adding a “meme-Esque” Spongebob.

Watch Your Back Speaking of annoying neighbors – we have the winner revenge plot against them right here in front of you. This guy asked his neighbors time and time again to stop with the loud partying, and when they wouldn’t stop with the noise, he decided to get revenge. He ordered a full drum set and horn for his son to enjoy – and his neighbors to suffer from. We admire his parenting techniques, teaching his son to play an instrument (or two) while getting payback.

Star Student There is always that one student that shows up for every. Single. Class. And then there is the rest of us, the ones that rely on the star student. This star student got the last laugh when what looks like half of his classmates asked for a copy of the morning’s lessons’ notes. He posted his notes for that day, but they were a little different than what his classmates were expecting. Ethan posted the best note of them all: set an alarm. We’re here for it, Ethan.

Snakey Games Living with housemates is all fun and games until someone needs to clean the apartment. What ends up usually happening is the same person cleans the apartment every week, begging for their housemates to help them. As you have probably guessed, the housemates never end up helping. This person got so fed up by the fact that they had to clean the apartment while their housemate played videogames, they threw the videogame into their snake’s cage. The only thing their housemate hates more than cleaning is this snake.

The Town Thief Living in a small town usually means that you know everyone, and everyone knows you. This also means that when something dramatic happens, word spreads like wildfire. This town decided that whenever someone steals something, the ideal punishment is to have to walk around the town with an “I am a thief” sign. If this isn’t payback, we don’t know what is. This guy was ashamed of what he had done – to be honest, and we think this is the perfect way to handle these situations.

That Glow Sibling revenge may be our favorite kind of revenge – especially in the age of social media, where everything goes viral for the world to see. This girl’s younger brother used her toothbrush to shine his shoes, so she decided to use her eyeshadow to give his shoes an extra special glow. The look on this little guy’s face is priceless, and to be honest, we kind of think he deserves it. Do you think he got retaliation on his sister, starting a revenge war?

Not Sorry This man called his wife a “sandwich maker,” and she was not having it. We’re not sure in what world he thought, calling his wife a sandwich maker would go unnoticed, but she got her perfect revenge by doing what expected of her. She made her husband a sandwich. Instead of taking off the cheese’s wrapping, she left her husband a special note. We hope that this man never takes his wife for granted again, who knows what other tricks she has up her sleeve.

Wrapping it Up As we’ve seen up until now, vandalism has been the major source of revenge when it comes to cheating partners. Not with his woman, when she found out her husband cheated on her, she didn’t break anything, in fact, she did the opposite. She wrapped her husband’s car in so much saran wrap it took him hours to get to his car. Kill ’em with kindness is the vibe we’re getting here. Maybe he damaged his own car while trying to unwrap it?

Hide-and-Go-Seek Although we don’t know what his woman sounded like when she wrote his letter, we are for sure reading it in a passive-aggressive tone. How can you not? After reading his Facebook messages with a woman named Kelsi, this woman decided to get even. She packed up his stuff and scattered them all around town, putting all of his stuff in different locations commemorating their relationship. The best part of this revenge plan is the stuff she left at Kelsi’s house!

Mashed Potatoes If your significant other is the one making your lunch, try not to fight with them the night before a big test. This couple got into a fight late at night but made up right before they went to sleep. His girlfriend felt differently, and although she forgave him for his hurtful words, she couldn’t let it go completely. Instead of making him his regular lunch, she gave him what she thought he deserved – potatoes. In all fairness, she did send him off with a fork. Bon appetite!

My Ex, The Devil If we could send you off with one bit of advice, it would be – never get a tattoo of anyone’s face anywhere on your body. Ever. This man got a tattoo of his wife, but then they divorced. Instead of getting her face lasered off, he just turned her into the devil. We’re not sure if this is considered revenge. After all, he’s the one stuck with her face on his arm for the rest of his life.

Bad Service Receiving bad service is a bummer, you never know if you’re obligated to leave a tip or not. Some customers decide against leaving a tip when they receive bad service – others decide to do the “decent” thing and leave their server a couple of dollars. This couple decided to take the middle road and tip their servers, but leave the money in a shot glass. This is a savage move for two reasons, first of all, the money is left soaked, and second, the servers can’t reach this money without making a mess.

Surprise! Here we see both sides of this revenge story. These housemates live to make each other work hard. When this girl came back from summer vacation, she came back to hundreds of balloons taking up all the space in her room – it wasn’t even her birthday. She waited patiently for winter to come around so she could get her payback. After winter break, her housemate came back to a fully decorated and wrapped room. Merry Christmas!

Don’t Mess With the Alpha Here we have another case of animal revenge, and to be frank, this human deserved it. The guy that owns this car kicked a stray dog as he stepped out of his car. He was sure it was the end of it when the dog ran away, but it wasn’t. The pup ran away, only to come back with two of its buddies. They wrecked this guy’s car and did a better job of stopping animal cruelty than anyone we’ve ever seen.

Clogged Drain If you’ve ever lived with someone with long hair, you know that slowly but surely, the shower drain gathers enough hair to make a wig. Although we agree that cleaning should be a team effort, it’s only fair that the long-haired person is the one to clear the drain when it gets clogged. This person asked their partner to unclog the drain so many times, and they decided to give up and leave a nasty, hairy note for their dearly beloved.

Stuck in a Jam Sure — when we initially looked at this photo, we were pretty disturbed. Then, we realized that someone just got mad at some guy’s parking job and dumped out a jar of jam onto his pearly white BMW. Then again, that’s exactly what you deserve if you’re the kind of person who parks in the middle of a crosswalk leading to the mall entrance. The moral of this photo is if you park like a jerk, you’ll get treated like one.

Ham & Cheese Jade Hameister was 14 years old when she became the youngest person in history to pull off the ‘polar hat-trick’ — crossing the North Pole, Greenland ice sheet, and the South Pole on skis. A year later, Hameister gave a Tedx Talk about her journey. It wasn’t long before she received trash comments from men. Her revenge was skiing “back to the pole again… to take this photo for all those men who commented ‘Make me a sandwich’ on my Tedx Talk. I made you a sandwich (ham & cheese), now ski 37 days and 600km to the South Pole and you can eat it.”

The One Where the Grinch Steals Christmas The Christmas Thief Grinch may have stolen this guy’s reindeer decorations but that doesn’t mean he can get away with stealing Christmas. In fact, it looks likes the victim actually won the battle of X-Mas by plastering security camera photos of the thief’s face all over his lawn in place of his festive decorations that went missing. It doesn’t seem like this greedy culprit is going to get away with any other neighborhood shenanigans any time soon. You better watch your back, Grinchy!

Flat Earther Whether or not you believe in the conspiracy that the Earth is flat, you have to admit that this prank is hilarious. According to Reddit user u/kittythedog, it was his coworker’s last day working for the company so he decided to gift him with this globe and a punny yet endearing note. It’s important to note that this guy’s colleague “doesn’t have a strong sense of logic,” which could explain why he’s a flat-earth conspiracist. In any event, we think it’s safe to say that this is a Grade-A prank.

Sonic Savagery It’s clear that Sonic has no chill and we think it’s hilarious. Between throwing shade at Mickey D’s for having a broken ice-cream machine to calling out corporate for making them take the first sign down, we think it’s safe to say that the employees who work at this particular Sonic are absolutely savage. We wouldn’t really be surprised if the workers decided to ‘stick it to the man’ (corporate) and put another sign up dissing a different fast-food restaurant.

Slashed Someone’s Tires We know — you were initially shocked when you thought that this guy actually slashed someone’s tires to teach them a lesson for their horrible parking job. It turns out, though, that he just enjoys a good pun and ‘slashed’ this person’s tires by taping a picture of the real-life Slash from the rockband Guns ‘n’ Roses. Of course, the pun-master also left a note that read, “I slashed your tires. You deserved it because you parked like an a**e.” And with that, we think it was totally justified.

Google Maps-Level Neighborly Feud No, this isn’t some photoshopped picture. It can actually be seen from Google Earth’s satellite images. It turns out that a person in Sequim, Washington mowed this into their lawn with a giant arrow pointing toward their neighbor’s property. Why? Well, the offender in question built a bright purple multi-car garage that the surrounding neighbors absolutely hated so they petitioned the county for property tax relief, claiming that the giant garage drove down property value. What these neighbors didn’t get in tax relief, they got in revenge by essentially engraving the lawn right next to the culprit’s house.

Stone-Cold It appears that revenge is best served stone-cold. It turns out that Reddit user u/MathewRogers wanted to get his brother back for wrapping his Christmas present in duct tape the year before. In return, Mat “wrapped” his brother’s gift in concrete and provided a hammer. If that weren’t enough, Mat even posted a video of his brother and sister attempting to break open the gift. Unfortunately, none of them were able to do it so we guess Mat’s brother never really got his present.

Half & Half While this may not have been intended as revenge, it’s certainly a little weird…and slightly annoying that this person’s neighbor didn’t just go the extra step and clean the other few inches of wall. While it’s not technically their responsibility, we can all agree that it would have been the nice thing to do. Instead, they cleaned their side so one half of the wall is as clean as new while the other half looks as dirty as the sole of a shoe.

How to Get Over Your Ex We like the way you think, Gabi! This is the perfect way to get over any boyfriend. All you have to do is simply photoshop Ryan Reynold’s handsome face over your ex’s stupid one and voilà — it’s like he never existed at all! Plus, these pictures are pretty funny to look at and we always say the best way to get over something is to laugh about it, which is exactly what Gabi here seems to be doing.

Gym Buddies If you have a gym membership, you know that every gym has its group of super buff guys that spend every free moment working out. Clarence and Paul are two of this gym’s regulars – they make a scene every time they come work out (which is twice a day every day). This gym’s management was so over Clarence and Paul’s flexing, and they decided to make a sign dedicated to the two men. This is accurate on so many levels, we can even picture the two men fighting over the mirror.

Happy Birthday, Cheater It doesn’t get much better than opening presents on your birthday. You told your girlfriend exactly what you wanted, so you know when you open her present, you’re going to be getting exactly what you wished for. NOT! This guy’s girlfriend found out he was cheating on her, so she did the best thing anyone could do, she printed out screenshots of his chats with other girls and wrapped it in the most festive wrapping paper. Happy Birthday, cheater!

Your Loving Brother Well, this is an overreaction if we’ve ever seen one. This guy’s sister stole $20 from him, so he got back at her by hiding her chemistry project in one of these folders. We wonder how long it took her to find her project. We have to admit, we kind of love this idea, and we may use it with our siblings if need be. This is pretty hardcore payback. Maybe this was a sentimental $20 bill?

Worth It? Imagine driving around in this car, we would be mortified – but then again, we would never find ourselves in a situation that would require us to. When this guy cheated on his wife, he never thought that his car would be on the receiving end of revenge. We understand her rage and think she made the right call by trashing her husband’s car. We hope she was worth it, too! Although we’re guessing nothing is worse than losing your car…and your wife.

Return to Sender Revenge can be an art form, but you have to be careful not to hurt anyone when delivering payback, so that’s where petty revenge steps in as the only option. This photo was attached with a note that said: “This is six months worth of junk mail. I shoved all the bulk back into the prepaid envelopes, and tomorrow I’m mailing it all back at the junk mailers expense.” Aside from the environmental impact, we are so down for pranking junk mailers.

Would you Like Cornbread with That? This person went over and above to commit to a single pun. Now that’s a lot of cornbread, we sure hope it went to good use! Not every hurtful action deserves jail time. Or even a good whooping. Sometimes, an evil deed is pretty trivial and could also be forgotten. Obviously, if we were all emotionally mature enough to simply get over things and move on, we’d be a lot better off, but this is way more fun.

FYI This sandwich was not made with love but instead with spite, as showcased by the thoughtful note attached. Whoever’s partner this is, they have some real dedication when it comes to contributing to their household. Yes, the sandwich was made, but they were not happy about it. Not only was this guy reminded of the fight with his partner the night before while he was at work, but he also has to wonder if his food has any particular surprises.

The Customer Is Always Right This was the story of two friends, they were thirsty and hungry, so they decided to visit their local food corner to grab a burger and something to drink. They waited patiently for about half an hour but still didn’t get their food. So out of frustration, they drew this with ketchup and mustard on the table, using it as their canvas, and then they left. After that, someone captured it and shared it on social media, and it went viral within a few hours.



Office Life It’s a fact of life at the office, at one point or another, if anyone leaves food in the shared fridge, a coworker might take it. Is there anything as annoying as finding out that that quick pick-me-up or treat you’ve been waiting for all day has been snatched away by a mystery coworker? But there are ways to combat this and keep other employees in your office and their grubby hands off your stuff. Take this note, for example.

Dunkin’ Donuts If you’ve ever brought food to work, you know that unattended food usually gets eaten. We’ve been on both sides of this scenario, and let us say it doesn’t feel good to be on either side of this story. Looking at this photo, one thing comes to mind – someone got sick and tired of their office food-thief. To ensure the thief learns their lesson – this person got revenge. Next time someone tries to take a bite out of this guy’s favorite donuts, they’re going to receive an unpleasant surprise.

Cat-astrophe Who knew that animals understood the concept of revenge – or that they were this good at it? This cat’s owners locked him in the bathroom for making a mess in the house, they thought that this was the best pay to keep the cat out of trouble. Then, they gave them the inevitable – a mess in the bathroom. The absolute death-stare this cat is giving the camera (and its owners) says it all – you reap what you sow.

Editing Your Ex When this woman’s ex wrote her an apology letter for all he had done, pouring his heart out onto paper – she did what anyone would do, she read the whole thing. She took every word he wrote seriously, but it didn’t stop there – she proofread the whole letter, editing it. When she was done reading it, she graded the letter, giving him a 61 out of 100 (or a D-). She even wrote him feedback at the bottom, explaining that there was room for much improvement.

Star Student There is always that one student that shows up for every. Single. Class. And then there is the rest of us, the ones that rely on the star student. This star student got the last laugh when what looks like half of his classmates asked for a copy of the morning’s lessons’ notes. He posted his notes for that day, but they were a little different than what his classmates were expecting. Ethan posted the best note of them all: set an alarm. We’re here for it, Ethan.

There You Go It looks like this person was in such a rush to park their car, they swerved into this parking spot. They did such a poor job parking that someone took a piece of chalk and drew a new parking spot, especially for them. We wouldn’t necessarily call this revenge, just a friend looking out for another friend. We get that this is bad parking, but at least they didn’t take up two parking spots like everyone else we saw up until now.

Locked In Grocery store employees work hard. They are constantly cleaning up after the messes we make, organizing shopping carts, and making sure everything is easy for us shoppers. The reason some people decide to make their jobs harder constantly is beyond us, but it happens all the time. Perhaps because they think it’s harmless. This particular employee got so fed up with this poorly parked customer, and they decided to get back at them by completely blocking them in with shopping carts.

Retaliation Cigarette butts are the most littered substance on Earth as they’re damaging to the environment, especially wildlife. This neighbor decided to do a good deed by picking some up, and he saw his neighbor would throw them over the wall onto the sidewalk. He grew tired of seeing squirrels eat them and kids playing with them, so he then decided to be petty by returning them to their owner. That’s a nice big bag of something to think about!

Just So He Knows Are we the only ones who are confused as to why someone isn’t “allowed” to leave their shampoo in their own shower? Sure, it could be a small shower, and they might have the arrangement to leave it empty. But not only is this revenge petty, but it also doesn’t even seem that inconvenient. Sure, he might end up searching all over the place and wondering where his roommate put his shampoo the first time, but he’ll probably just roll his eyes from then on.
