Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold
We talked yesterday in class about how “Lamb to the Slaughter” can be seen as a revenge fantasy and how the purpose of such a story is to offer the reader a feeling of catharsis. For your second topic this week, I thought it would be fun to hear some of your revenge stories. So, write about a time when you did something to get back at someone. If you have never done such a thing, write about a time when you WANTED to get revenge on someone for something they had done to you. Be sure to not use real names.

I can’t really think of a time that I did something to get back at someone, but there are plenty of times where I’ve always wanted to. For an example, I had been dating a guy for a little more than 6 months, and a friend of his told me that my boyfriend was also dating another girl. I totally didn’t believe him so I asked my boyfriend at that time if it was true, obviously he said no, but after hours and hours of arguing about it, he told me the truth. You wouldn’t believe how confused and mad I was. I wanted to get revenge on him, but then I came to the conclusion that it really wouldn’t help the situation, even though he had hurt me so badly. I broke up with him, so I guess you could say that was sort of revenge. I could’ve starting a rumor about him, or something pointless like that, but in the end I knew nothing would fix the problem. So yeah, I don’t really see revenge as a good thing, because in the end something bad could always happen.
i dont know if you could call this revenge but here is my story…..
ok so in 7th grade i got mad at one of my really good friends because she made fun of something about me that i was really sensitive about. so i stopped talking to her for like a week. so she got this picture of me from 6th grade and drew all over it. she gave me a hairy nose and ears and a mustache and beard and put warts all over my face and wrote really really mean stuff about me all over it! and the next day she tapped it to my backpack. i found it started crying blah blah blah…. so what ended up happening is i told the principal (lame right?) and we had to go to guidance, and i stopped talking to her completely even when she was tring to become friends with me again (but didnt appoligize).
but about 2 years later i just got fed up with fighting with her (since she rode my bus at my bus stop all that other good stuff) and i appoligized for being mean to her too. and she finally apoligized. so were good now, but we’ll never be as good of friends as we used to.

Revenge is amazing isn’t it. TV tells us that it doesn’t really fill that hole that is left. It makes the hole overflow.
As many of you know, my sister, who I like to call Ronald(her name is R_a_an), used to very much enjoy writing on my sleeping body and paint my fingernails and toenails. I decided to retailiate one time. She was asleep after taking some Benadryill for her allergies. I painted all of her fingers a different color, drew a Swatstika[symbol of the National Socialist German Workers Party(Nazi)]. I gave her a Hitler mustache and put her hand in warm water.I came back 3 hours later after she wet the bed and did the old shaving cream trick. I was gonna shave her eyebrows off, but I decided that I might get in a little trouble for that one, so I ripped all of her pictures of that friggen Robert Pattinson off of her wall. She doesn’t need to be posioned by that poser anyway! Then I switched the items of her drawers, just to be a jerk. It is very frustrating to look for a shirt and find socks in your drawer. Then i planted drugs in her room and JUST KIDDING.
(I got grounded after all this)

Well one time when I was eight I put ketchup in my brothers drink. He acted like he wasn’t mad in fact he pretnded to think of was funny and he even let me watch the grudge with him and his friends I didn’t know he was still mad but for revenge he locked me in the attic and mac grudge noises
Quite sometime ago, about six years I think, I was playing baseball (for church!) and some kid threw me out at first. It was after a really solid hit too! Line drive right past the second baseman! But…. I still got out. I didn’t think it was fair. So I took off my helmet and threw it at the kid. Ha I laugh at how ridiculous it was… Ihave gotten over those childish temper tantrums now though. (: revenge is sweet…. But not in my case. (:

Okay well I have lovable sisters. My older sister C___l_a decided she wanted to be a jerk to me and so I got one of her major fears (spiders) and put them on her bed. Now before you start to think I’m so mean, they were fake. But anyways so I don’t remember what exactly happened after that, but I got revenge. Revenge ain’t sweet so don’t get it! -Heavenrox6
Im a pretty chill person so it takes alot to get me upset, so the only time i can think of tht i wanted to get back at someone for somethin was back in 6th or seventh grade and i cant remember for the life of me what it was. All i know was tht to get back at em i shanked em in gym, everyone got a good kick out of it but the dude got pissed havent talked to him in forever
the most recent time i got revenge on someone was about last week. stuff happened between me and my friend so i printed out 100 sheets of paper with his name on it so hed get in trouble. he got in trouble, but i did too because im a suspected ”troublemaker”? but it was worth it. and the whole class had to sit in timeout the next day which i thought was hilarious. i mean, what grade are we in, second??

well i have many revenge stories. but one stands out. it started one morning when my brother decided to dip my toothbrush in the toilet, except that i caught him. so while he was sleeping one night i dipped his tooth brush in the toilet and video taped him brushing his teeth the next morning. revenge=awesome

Well I believe in Karma so i dont do revenge but if i did this is how it would happen. I would set the chick or dude up for something they didn’t do. Then blame them. Make up some credible bull and get them expelled. After who wouldn’t believe me Im the good kid.
Hahaha I have a funny one. Okay so when i was a little girl i had a bunch of Barbie dolls, like little girls do. Well one night my brother and his friends decided to be mean to me and mess up my Barbie’s house and take all the clothes of them. My brother was a weird kid. Now I was a pretty evil kid back then so that night i snuck into his room and set up all the barbie’s around so they were staring at him. That morning he woke up screaming. He thought the were all haunting him or something it was hilarious. We both got in pretty big trouble but it was worth it.

Hmm. Revenge a. I’ve never really had a time where I got back at somebody, but there is a time where I wanted to. One time in the sixth grade, there was this girl, she was so mean to me, she was very jealous because she thought I was prettier than her, and she wanted long hair like mine. She teased me about my hair, teeth, and even eyes sometimes. She said everything that was to hurt my feelings. I would defend myself sometimes, but I still wish that I had gotten a greater revenge on her.

I know this story will sound REALLY stupid!!! But at the time, it was pretty funny….and a little mean =) In 7th grade I was friends with a girl I cheered with. Well, not really friends. I just had to be nice to her because she was my “teammate”. This girl was SUPER bossy!! Nobody really liked her. I had the boyfriend that EVERYBODY liked. Even her. She decided to tell him lies about me. Of course, being in 7th grade, he believed her because you believe pretty much anything in 7th grade. The guy broke up with me, and she ended up kissing him in front of me. So…me and another cheerleader took the lock off of her locker and locked it on the shower curtain pole. Then, we took some of her stuff out of her locker and put them in an empty one. She never found her stuff or her lock EVER AGAIN =) She never found out it was us either. Like I said…pretty stupid. We didn’t get in trouble, so that was good. It was really funny. But, I kinda felt bad because it made her cry. I went back out with the guy….and she hated me after that because he told her that he would never like her because she was too bossy =)

ive never really gotten revenge on anyone but there have been several times i have wanted to. but this inncident happened a few weeks ago. so heres the thing: i LOVE chocolate. its one of the best things in the world:) and i bring a piece everyday for lunch and im very protective of it. well one day at lunch i reached down to get my chocolate and only the wrapper was left. i knew i hadnt eaten my chocolate so i asked my friends at my table and they told me i had eaten it already. and i knew i hadnt so we had this big conversation about whether or not i had eaten my chocolate. well i just said forget it and went on. so when i walked into forth period later it was sittin on my desk and my friends were laughin at me. they had stolen my chocolate! so anyway i still havent gotten them back but im still thinkin… but one girl brought me a HUGE king size chocolate bar to make up for it so that made it all better. for now…

Professorprodigy6,
If you did get revenge on someone who had done something wrong to you or to someone else, that would be Karma. You would be safe from any retaliation because the punishment for someone doing something wrong would have already been doled out, thus, your safety is garunteed. Karma is a system of consequences, good or bad, so always know how to work the system.

ok so i really cantg think of a time when I got back at someone, but I have always really wanted to. I think the people I want to get back at the most usually, though, is my brother and sister. They are younger than me, so you all know how that goes. I love being the oldest, but it has its consequences also. Being the oldest usually means getting blamed for just about everything even though you didn’t have absolutely anything to do with it. Anyways, I always want to get back at them for doing stuff like that, but I know if I want to try and do somethingf to them, then I will get in trouble for messing with the “younger siblings”!! Life just isn’t fair sometimes when you are the oldest child!!
The only time i really use revenge is on my siblings. i know i should be a good big sister but anybody who has siblings understands. i dont do anything to hurt them but when they push my buttons it gets annoying. their have been times where they scrath me and i get them back. but nothing too bad to make them bleed, i think its just instinct. that it mainly nothing too serious like to friend or boyfriend…
ive done a lot of things to get back at people but this one thing was something that my friends did to me. i had been cracking some pretty funny jokes about them one night at my friend’s house for her birthday sleepover thing. well, i stupidly ended up going to sleep third or fourth out of like seven of us, so while i was sleeping, they put toothpaste all over my hands and tickled me in my sleep and i got toothpaste ALL over myself. i woke up and i was TICKED! haha i can laugh about it now though. so normally i would have said revenge is sweet.. but it stops being sweet when it’s done to me! hahaha

Tha is probably the best revenge story I’ve heard so far. I’m seriously gonna take that into consideration next time my sister does something to me. (except for the whole fingernail thing cause thats really gross)
I don’t really have any great revenge stories. The only thing I can think of is when my sister got me in huge trouble after lying about something I didn’t do. So while she was away and I was on punishment, I went into her room and completely trashed everything. I scattered her things everywhere. I took her clothes out of her closet, off her hangers, and onto the floor. I took her bedspread and poored water all over it then threw it on the floor. I broke her precious Barbies’ heads off. Overturned whatever I could….
Hahaha, that didn’t really happen, but Lord knows I wanted to do it.
Professorprodigy,
that seems pretty hateful to do to someone. This is my 2nd post (response) so yea.. Karma, in my opinion, is kinda no big deal to me. It’s just a coincidence that something bad’s gonna happen. As for your revenge, i think it’s valid, and i also think it’s probably been done before so kudos for originality, I wouldn’t want them to be expelled though, that’s just my opinion.
I haven’t really had anyone do anything worthy of revenge that I can think of right now. However, a few years ago, I played a trick on my younger brother because he annoyed me. He doesn’t like snakes that much, so while he was sleeping, I put a huge stuffed animal snake right by his face. When he woke up, he screamed then realized it was fake. I didn’t tell him it was me until he moved past it.
Heavenrox6,
I have done this before to my older sister actually. I even had some attached to strings and I hung them from her ceiling. Of course she freaked out, but she also got me back by locking me out of the bathroom for longer than usual the mext morning. I was almost late to school. So watch out with how you get back at people because you never know how they will retaliate.

I’m kinda ashamed to say that I’m quite good at getting revenge. I believe in karma and all, but sometimes I don’t feel like waiting for arma to work, so I take things into my own hands.
Once, my brother made me EXTREMELY mad, right? So I made a huge mess in the living room and the kitchen, and left it there for my prents to find, and I told them that he made the mess. It was his stuff that I left sitting out, so of course they believed me. And then I took some other stuff of his and hid it in random places throughout the house, so that my parents would find it over a long periods of time. Lets just say he kept getting in trouble for about 3 weeks or so after that. And he never found out that I did it. He had actually thought that he left that stuff there. It was pretty hilarious.
And there were a few other times when I got satisfying revenge, but this one was the least inappropriate[sp?] of them.
the last time i got revenge on someone was… a few hours ago. my sister’s in town and well, let’s face it. she’s a jerk. so anyway, she had to drop off a package at my grandma’s house, so on our way to lunch (coming from church) we dropped by my grandma’s house to leave the package. my sister got out to put the package on the back porch, because my grandma wasn’t home. well, while she was back there I begged my mom(who was driving) to back out of the driveway and hide down the street in a line of cars. finally she did and we waited for a little while, ducking down like creepers. when my sister came out from behind the house, she freaked out and threw her hands up in the air like a crazy person. five minutes of hysterical laughing later, we were making our merry way down the road to lunch.
THE END=D

One time in like, 7th grade, i wanted to get revenge on a teacher who was always unfair in their grading. So me and a few friends starting thinking of a way to get her back. We wanted to do something that was humiliating but wouldnt get us in trouble. So we decided that the best thing to do was put a fake snake in her drawer. It sounds harmless, but she was deathly afraid of snakes, so it turned out to be a pretty mischievious plan. The day she found it was one of the best days of that year. I remember her screaming and running out the door. My friends and I just looked at eachother and giggled, while the rest of the class was perplexed at what had just happened. She returned a short period later with another teach with a dictionary in his hand… i guess they planned on squashing it! When they realized it was only rubber, she had such a look of horror on her face, i’ll never forget it. IT WAS AWESOME.

Heavenrox6: I agree that revenge is not sweet. I dont belive in getting revenge. Even though I would love to get someone back for hurting me, I have to tell myself that im not the one that should get revenge. God is the one and only that judges and punishes people for their actions. There was one time that i wanted to get revenge on someone, though. Along time ago, someone hurt me very deeply and personaly. The person seemed like they didnt have a heart. It was just pure cruelty. And OH MAN, did i want to get revenge! But my mom always says “Forgiveness is the best revenge.” I had to learn to forgive the person and let it be in the past.
-jellybean6
Revenge. Ha.
Well… honestly, I really don’t stay mad at people for long, even if they’ve done something horrible to me.
I can, however, remember a pretty bad decision I made when I was a little kid (probably in the 2nd or 3rd grade). I was out in the front yard, all playing with my toys and what not. And there came these jerky boys on bikes, and they pretty much soaked me from head to toe with their huge water guns.
At this point, I was dripping and cold and my pigtails are all sagging, and I remember just wanting to cry, because I didn’t even know them and certainly didn’t even provoke them in any way.
Anyway, I didn’t have any water guns, except for those tiny, plastic, $tree handguns (haha). I figured I didn’t have anything to loose since I was already completely drenched, so I ran inside and filled a bucket with water. I got on my bike and chased them down the street with that bucket of water. I had it in the basket on my bike, because it was heavy and I cudn’t use both hands.
I ended up wrecking my bike and myself into a car of a neighbor. It was bad enough that it ended up having a big dent and the neighbor saw the whole thing happen from inside her house. To make matters worse…, this was a special neighbor that all of the kids called “the witch”. We were all terrified of her, because nobody ever saw her (she lived all by herself and didn’t EVER come out), and because there were rumors about her luring kids into her house and eating them… haha. It sounds pretty ridiculous, I know. She ended up being really nice and understanding…but I did NOT take any of the brownies she offered. I never saw her again after that. O_o

Wow, girlsnotgrey, that’s like Parent Trap evilness! HAHAHA you’re a sister’s worst nightmare.
I can’t believe you just looked down at your sister who had already peed the bed (at your fault) and then STILL do the whip cream thing. HAHA
Ya know, there are so many times when I’ve wanted so badly do really do something like that to someone, but I never had the nerve to! I’m too nice all deh time. xD
But I believe you know just what revenge feels like. xD
I wish I did.

———>PinkPrincesz05
this is kinda lame and i dont evn know if you could call it revenge but anyway this happened recently: theres this guy i know who is a real jerk… i have to put up with him alot… hes a senior and probably outweighs me by at least 100 pounds. but one night my buddy was over and wanted to go roll someones house. and this guy’s house was the only one i would consider doing, and sense he lives in my neiborhood, well why not. so i did it and i still dont know if he ever found out. (btw if me and the large senior disappear suddenly at the same time its probably because im dead and hes in jail for murder.)
-danumbah5
i cant think of a particular time when i got revenge on someone because i’m just nice like that. but i sure have wanted to. long story short, this girl led me on into she wanted to be with me. and when i found out she had a boyfriend i wanted to do several un-christian things. however i had a lock-in at my church that night and wanted to go in holy so i let it go.
I asked my brother 3 times to do my dishes because I was tired and he said ‘’sure” and each time didn’t do them and I got in trouble. The last time I even told him ”Look, if you’re not going to do it, then just tell me and I’ll do them now” and he said sure and still didn’t. Well a couple of weeks ago he asked me to do his dishes and I just said ‘’sure” and didn’t do them. That’s about as tough as my revenge gets.
professorprodigy6
hahaha it soungs like you belive in karma but you really want to belive in revenge. Actually i would rather you just keep believeing in karma because you+revenge=NOT GOOD. ha i hope you never get angry with someone, i wish that person good look and R.I.P.
