Teasing and bullying is sadly a fact of life for many high-schoolers in years gone by. And while most of us move on to have happy, fulfilled lives, we rarely forget the people that made us feel small during our formative years.
If you’re anything like us, you’ve definitely had a daydream about what it would be like to confront your bullies, or to show off your success to their face.
Some people actually got that chance, and shared their experiences to Reddit.
Here are some of the most satisfying revenge stories out there.
“I never really got revenge but worked my arse off at uni and ended up working on movies, got married, had a kid and have my own house so that was revenge enough. That he didn’t dictate my life.”
“Lost a bunch of weight and rejected him when he asked me out.”
“Ignored him on Tinder.”
“My bully hit on me at some bar years after he bullied me. I knew who he was immediately. But he had no idea who I was so he kept going. Finally I asked “do you know who I am?” And he said no. I said “I’m (so and so) and you made my life a living hell in elementary school and I want an apology.” His face dropped and he apologized profusely.”
“Bumped into him at a bar. He apologised for bullying me. I didn’t remember him.”
“I married my bully’s high school crush.”
“When I was 13-15 years old, I was bullied a lot by the boys in my class for being flat chested. I didn’t even fit into a AA cup bra and they made me aware of that by calling me names/calling me a boy/calling me ugly etc. Then something magical happened between ages 16-18, and when I turned 20 had E cups. Hormones are the best revenge.”
“Worked at a place for 4 years with a backstabbing viper of a bully. Would throw people under the bus, take credit for others’ work etc. Anyway, left the company for bigger better things and I’m now a lab supervisor at my new place. Guess whose resume gets plopped on my pile and went straight to the trash?”
“After I finished high school a girl who bullied me relentlessly for years messaged me on Facebook saying a bunch of awful things (Facebook was new at the time -we all added anyone we knew). I just screenshotted the messages and posted them to her wall. Then a bunch of her friends messaged me asking if I was ok. I got my revenge and didn’t have to stoop to her level.”
“A kid that bullied me in high school: I eventually got a drink with him one day to see what he was up to and he broke down on me. Started talking to me about his alcohol problems and how he was self destructive. He was getting kicked out of his moms place and had no job. Me being the sap I am offered him a job at the restaurant I was managing at the time. This was about 2 years ago.
Fast forward to 3 months ago he is now a kitchen manager at the same restaurant and he asks me if I’d like to get a drink with him.
Dude bought me and my girlfriend a ticket to Colorado and told me he will never be able to pay me back for how much I helped him but he is at least in the position where he can try.”
