How to Get Revenge

The road to revenge is a tenuous one. It can be supremely satisfying in low doses, but it’s easy enough to cross over into excess that could come back to bite you. Here’s a guide to keeping your cool, but still get revenge.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
Bide your time. Learn what you can about your mark, especially regarding their likes/dislikes, social networks or other points of vulnerability. There are plenty of universally accepted revenge ploys, but the more personal, the better.
Step2
Run your idea by a very close friend. If you’re getting revenge on somebody, you’re almost certainly emotionally invested in the situation. This can lead to hasty judgment and poor decisions. Make sure you’re not hurting others or taking your revenge too far.
Step3
Keep yourself anonymous until the end. By anonymously pouring oil under a foe’s new luxury car or subscribing them to junk mail services, you can sit back and watch the show until you think it’s time to reveal yourself (if ever) as the culprit.
Step4
Check online or at the library for creative revenge ideas. The object is to affect their pocketbook or reputation, not inflict physical harm.
Step5
Live well. This is usually the best prescription for revenge. Nothing will upset somebody who has wronged you more than to see that, despite their meddling, you’re doing just dandy.

Tips & Warnings

  • Try to keep it on the level of “small things.” There’s a German proverb that says, “Revenge converts a little right into a great wrong.” Getting revenge on an ex-spouse, former employer or other emotionally charged mark is a recipe for disaster.
  • For specific revenge ploys, do an Internet search for “pranks.”

on 5/20/2008 A good revenge idea is to pour boiling honey all over your mark, about a half gallon of boiling honey and they will know what those napalm victoms of 1960's
southeast asia felt like. he he he. even better if you can steal it for free at local bee keepers place
maybe even trick you victom into helping get the honey
while you "GO AND DISTRCT THE BEEKEEPER" then he will also likly get stung by the bees while taking the honey ! the very same honey you will later boil on the stove and pour on him while he is sleeping....
AaaaHhhhh HA HA HA Haaa............................

on 3/21/2008 This idea of revenge, as posted here so far, shows how all are thinking in terms of self defense, grudge , and revenge, but none are thinking it through thoroughly. Come with why doncha? I take those simplistic idealisns, and add them together, expand them into list management, and multi-task the grandiose, to allow a complete lifestyle dedicated to the destruction of those whom, have wronged me. Small things, are multitudinous, and serve well, as a sea of onslaught. However there are infitudinous levels of self-defense, grudge, and revenge. I like to use them all, and am lookin for a good listmanager database, to store my ever increasing list of volunteer enemise, as the web grows. I Practice and study kung-fu,(a lifestyle) for self defense, and i keep list after list of grudges made by volunteer enemies, (the list manager i am seeking, is a list to manage my lists), and revenge i en

on 4/19/2007 hello friend, firstly, I'm sorry to reply so late,, well the "live well" thing here implies that u should keep yourself happy despite the other person's meddling,, and that does imply that sumtimes you will have to "pretend" that you are happy when you are with him,, but once you are good with your pretending you will automatically see that look on his face that will make you realise that youv'e done ur job and he's boiling over your happiness
But the better thing try and "be" happy rather than "pretending". Hope this helps
