Now this story is not about me, of course, but a friend. This friend was pushed out of a job because the husband and wife team this friend worked for decided that the wife would retire and spend her days shopping, so there wasn't enough money to pay the REALLY HIGH SALARY (cough, cough, eyeroll) of said friend. After they pushed her out and then shorted her on her verbally-promised-but-never-put-in-writing severance pay, they hired a dimwit to replace her and then gave said dimwit the friend's phone number to ask questions about how to do the job. Can we say "add insult to injury?"

Several months after this went down, friend realized that her voice was still the announcement voice on their office voicemail. Friend had asked them to record a new greeting on more than one occasion. So since friend still knew the passcode to get into the voicemail, friend called the voicemail and recorded a new greeting. A new, BLANK, greeting. It took them a solid week, at the least, to get the voicemail "working" again. As far as friend is aware, they never figured out that their outgoing message was blank.

(A side note... once dimwit called this friend's new place of employment and didn't realize she was speaking to friend, but friend knew exactly who dimwit was - the medical specialty they both worked for didn't have THAT many people in it in their smallish town. Dimwit says who she is, and asks for help... where can she purchase a certain item? So friend says, "go to your black rolodex, look under XXXXXX, it's about the third card in the "H" section, and it says XXXXXXXX on it, call them and ask for Joe and he'll look up your last order." Dimwit just said, "great thanks!" and never asked how a stranger knew the color of that particular rolodex, where to look in the rolodex, what it would say on the card, and whether or not they ordered from them before. Sigh. See, friend can be nice on occasion, but don't let that get around.)

There was a girl who worked at an office I was at. She didn't like me much, mostly because I was bi, and she was religious. So, she used an otherwise good, sexual harassment policy aginst me, reporting me telling a few off color jokes during a lunch break. I got reprimanded for it, and a month later, they found another reason to reprimand me because of a missed call. (Which oddly, this same woman was supposed to turn over to me for processing. It never got to me.) So, I could tell which way things were gonna go. I began logging all the little "mistakes" she kept causing me. When I finally did get fired, I mailed the log back to her supervisor.

From what I understand, she was fired shortly after that, because she was using the same policy to try and move up the ladder. They later offered to rehire me, but by then I'd found something better.

I was working at a law enforcement agency in a very small office with another girl. What really made me upset was she started complaining to me and my supervisors about my "body odor", which was not right considering that I take care of myself. I felt she had a lot of nerve since she took quite a few cigarette breaks outside and she smelled like stale butts, too!

On some days, I would go to lunch and have Chinese food with lots of onion and garlic just to really irritate her. Let's just say broccoli also has some after effects, too. After that little discussion, she never complained again!

Nothing like passive aggressive, anonymous revenge to get in touch with your feminine side, eh?

Me? You see, once, this guy screwed with me. I told him he was an asshole and proceeded to stop caring the next moment. Later, when his guard was down and I was able to be a real man by doing something juvenille to get back at him.. I still didn't care. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure who the hell I'm talking about.

PS- Is dignity underrated these days?

I did not intend it that way, or as a method of revenge. I have found when I do what is in my heart, and what makes me happy, the universe provides for the rest.

There is an old story of a cook who was told by the crew that he cooked for was going to stop picking on him. His response was, "Okay then, now i can stop washing my dirty socks in your soup" any time i think of revenge, i try to find something that is hard to prove or disprove, but makes people wonder if it really happened, but always makes them wonder.

I can't do revenge, I often think of it and perhaps in a half moment wish it, but I feel the wrongness of it. The thought that stops me, is shit will come their way eventually, maybe when they least expect it. I am not sure it is because of the knowledge of Karmic law, but have always felt , chuck out enough negativity, negativity will find you.

Wow, fighting over the scraps at the workplace? That seems completely beneath me.

When you get over on some petty asshole, what does that make of you?

colouredin: you really shouldn't use others things without first asking. Seems fair enough to me.

And those who are so thrilled about a post-divorce comeuppances: what does it say about you that you choose a mate so poorly, and then show such obvious distaste for the previously loved one? By contrast, I consider it a badge of honor that almost everyone that has been my lover still knows me and likes me.

There's enough ill will in the world. Don't add to it.

I can't agree more. It's fine to be angry, but to harbour such bitterness just hurts a person even more so and those that have acted unjustly against them will simply feel validated for their initial actions. I haven't always had that attitude, though, I have done a lot of growing up in recent years. My ex husband and I were very good friends prior to marrying, as a married couple we just didn't gel and it reduced to a 'war of the roses' scenario, where he plotted my demise, I plotted his and on one occasion he mistook a bar of chocolate laxative for ordinary chocolate, and I didn't stop him from eating it, which was vile behaviour from me and which resulted in his humiliation when he went to work that night - he worked as a 'fighting knight' and almost crapped himself wearing full armour and in the middle of a fight scene while surrounded by spectactors. He was in a lot of pain and kept farting loudly everytime he was hit in the guts. The American tourists loved the authenticity of the fight! I found it hilarious at the time, but then it preyed on my conscience, and once we sat down as adults and discussed our declining situation, we decided on divorce. After our divorce we worked on maintaining our friendship and I'm so happy that we did, he's one of my closest friends and that's after several years of divorce. Until last year, he still spent every Christmas with me and we talk on an almost weekly basis. He is pals with my submissive and he will always remain part of my family. After the laxative incident I confessed. I had put our friendship in jeopardy and would have deserved losing him altogether. He was a far better person than I and I learned a valuable lesson in life.

I'm lucky insofar as continuing to have most of my previous lovers remain a part of my life and as for shitty employers, if I have been unfairly treated and the situation cannot be rectified I find a new position of employment, as I did recently. People will always act adversely towards us, but it's how we respond that will ultimately effect the outcome.

I wanted to co-sign what Aneirin wrote but found myself troubled by the idea of karmic law.

Truthfully, I do believe in something like instant karma but I have no proof of it and my thinking on it may be colored by selective sampling and mere anecdotal evidence. I just know that what goes around, comes around.

That's probably the most religious personal viewpoint I have ever posted about.

I think it's our outlook that ultimately determines our actions and how others respond to us, the people we invite/interact with on a personal level and sets a tone for our future. My philosophy is that I do treat others as I would like to be treated myself, it works. My boy's nan is one of the most special persons I have ever been thankful to meet, she's in her 80s, has never had a bad word to say about anyone, she's open, honest and caring, and there's also a naivete about her that's endearing. She has also never encountered anything 'bad' in her life, yet she mixes with such diverse people, especially those (through her charity/religious affiliations) most people would walk across the road to avoid and she's remained safe, never taken advantage of and I could walk for miles, stopping to ask a stranger to me if they know 'such and such' and I know the reply, they'll say, "Actually, yes I do, great lady".
