I replied with:
"1"

Thought of that all on your own?

I wish I had good revenge stories to share, but most of mine are related to lawsuits and humor only lawyers could appreciate.

When I was in college we had a community freezer. Every Friday my roommate and I would order a combo from this pizza place of 50 wings and 2 large pizzas. We would never be able to finish the second pizza, so we'd just toss it in the freezer to eat over the weekend. It didn't take people long to realize that every Friday at 10 a whole pizza was still warm in the freezer. They took it for a few weeks even though we had signs saying that it was ours. We fixed that quick. We took every slice out of the box and dipped them in a clogged toilet and then put them back in the box, then the box in the freezer. Sure enough, the pizza was taken. We put a note on it the next week saying what we did to it our food never vanished again. Fearing retribution, we never ate it again either, we'd just try to fit as much of it as we could into our mini-fridges.

It's funny how much people care about trash cans. I live in a HOA and no one really cares.

These stories remind of the guy who got caught on video tape urinating in the office coffee pot and the person who got caught sprinkling feces on food products.

I got a message from IBM headquarters in White Plains in the office mail one day. The header said "Please reply to the enclosed wire". I read it and decide that it was crap. I then take a plain piece of paper, type the header "Please respond to enclosed wire" on it and staple a six inch piece of the yellow wire that we used for engineering changes to it and sent it back. Didn't hear anything for a while, then my manager comes in on one of his regular visits and mentioned that there was a piece of wire paper with a wire on it making the rounds at headquarters. Never did get a response! Guess they couldn't read it.

I don't know if this is really a retaliation per se, but...

I hate meetings. I really do. The only time I call one is if there's actually something that needs to be done. Most people seem to call them because... well, who the hell knows why.

Anyway, if you call a meeting for 1:00pm and ask me to be there, then you better be ready at 1:00pm. I can't stand it when some ass calls a meeting and is the last person to fscking get there. I have a 5 minute wait policy. If you're not there within 5 minutes of the starting time, I'm gone. If you really want me there at that point, you're going to have to track me down and I promise that won't be easy.

This actually happened last week. Someone called a meeting for 10am. It's 10:05. No one there but me. I have a ton of sh!t to do, so I leave. At 10:20, they come looking for me.

"Hey are you coming to the meeting?"
"I was there but no one else was, so I figured I had the wrong time."
"Can you stop by now?"
"Sorry... meeting was only a half hour and I have another one in ten minutes. Email me the minutes."

Pizz0wned.

So, because this guy inconvenienced you a tiny bit to make a (legitimate) point you threw trash all over his driveway to make a (illegitimate) point?

Wow, something very similar happened to me not long ago but I never found out who it was. My trashcan was out one extra day and someone rolled into the middle of my driveway. When I got home, almost running the can over in the process, I was truly going "WTF?!".

The problem is there's an apartment complex on one side of me and a house on the other so it's kinda hard to know who did it. The people in the house seem to mind their own business too much to care enough and they even leave their can out a day or two extra sometimes.

So, I parked, got out, walked up to the can in the middle of my driveway in plain view of anyone who might be watching me and walked around the can while facing outwards from it and giving two middle fingers.

I now leave my can out for up to 4 days and it hasn't been moved since.

It's your opinion that his point was legitimate and mine was not. That you think your opinion is fact:

His reponse to my "1" email was to send me that exact same link. ;)

the point that you are too lazy to bring your cans in and that it will only take you a minute to do so--legitimate

trashing someone's driveway for pointing that out to you--illegitimate

the failure to recognize the difference--immature

starting a thread like this so that your peeps can morally support you in your lameness--weak

This happened 3 years ago. I didn't post it for support; I posted it because it was humorous.

Keeping your hands off of other people's sh!t and minding your own damn business FTW, you anal retentive twat.

People like him, and apparently you, need more productive things to do with your time. Cross-stitching, perhaps.
