We have all been there. That burning sensation in your chest when someone cuts you off in traffic, steals your lunch from the office fridge, or breaks your heart into a million pieces. It keeps you up at night. You replay the scenario over and over, thinking of the perfect comeback or the ultimate prank that would have leveled the playing field.
But sometimes, you actually pull it off. You don't just dream about justice; you serve it cold.
If you are sitting on a goldmine of a story where the bad guy got exactly what they deserved, it is time to let it out. We want you to share your revenge story. Whether it is petty, elaborate, or downright diabolical, there is a community here waiting to applaud your genius. Submitting your own tale of payback isn't just about bragging rights—it is a public service to everyone else currently plotting their own tactical strike.
Why We Need to Hear Your Story
Holding onto a grudge is heavy. Letting it out? That is pure catharsis. But beyond the personal release, sharing your story serves a greater purpose. The world is full of jerks—cheating spouses, nightmare neighbors, and power-tripping bosses—who think they can walk all over good people without consequences.
When you document your victory, you prove them wrong.
Reading about successful revenge gives hope to the downtrodden. It validates the feelings of anyone who has been told to "just be the bigger person." Sometimes, being the bigger person means teaching a lesson that the offender will never forget. Your story might give someone else the inspiration they need to finally stand up for themselves, or at the very least, it will provide some high-quality entertainment for the rest of us.
The Classics: What Kind of Stories We Want
Revenge comes in many flavors, and we have an appetite for all of them. You might think your story is too small or too personal, but trust me, the details are what make it delicious. Here are the main categories where we see the best payback.
The Cheating Ex and The Other Woman
There is no fury like a lover scorned, and for good reason. Betrayal stings. We have seen everything from glitter bombs in car vents to elaborate social media takedowns. Did you find out he was lying? Did you catch her in the act?
We want to know how you handled the fallout. Did you go after the cheater, or did you focus your energy on the affair partner? Stories about revenge against the other woman are some of the most read archives we have. It is not just about the anger; it is about the creativity used to expose the lies. If you managed to turn their secret world upside down, write it down.
The Neighbor from Hell
Your home should be your castle, but sometimes it feels more like a fortress under siege. We all know the types: the ones who blast bass-heavy music at 3 AM, the dog owners who think your lawn is a public toilet, or the boundary-pushers who build fences on your property line.
Dealing with these people requires a special kind of patience and, eventually, a special kind of retaliation. Did you use a spotlight to illuminate their bedroom all night? Did you legally tow their car every time it blocked your driveway? If you have dealt with property disputes or noise violations in your own unique way, check out how others handled it when neighbors can be vandals and thieves. Your strategy might be the blueprint someone else needs.
The Tyrannical Boss
Workplace revenge is tricky because your livelihood is on the line. That is what makes a successful execution so impressive. We are talking about the bosses who steal credit for your work, the managers who engage in wage theft, or the colleagues who throw you under the bus.
The best workplace revenge is often served cold and legally. Maybe you reported them to the labor board with meticulous documentation. Maybe you quit at the exact moment that caused the most chaos, leaving them high and dry during their busiest season. If you were screwed over by your boss and still bitter, but managed to get the last laugh, that is a hero's journey worth sharing.
How to Craft the Perfect Revenge Tale
You don't need to be a professional author to submit a great story. You just need to be honest and detailed. A good revenge story usually follows a three-act structure that keeps the reader hooked.
1. The Setup (The Injustice)
Don't just jump to the prank. You have to make us hate the villain first. Explain what they did. Were they arrogant? Cruel? Stupid? The more we understand your frustration, the more satisfying the payoff will be. Details matter here. Don't just say "my roommate was messy." Tell us about the three-week-old pizza boxes and the mold growing in the shower.
2. The Plan (The Plotting)
This is where your genius shines. How did you come up with the idea? Did you have accomplices? Did you have to buy specific supplies? The planning phase is often just as funny as the execution. It shows the dedication you had to the cause.
3. The Execution and Aftermath (The Payoff)
This is the climax. Describe the moment the trap was sprung. What was the look on their face? Did they know it was you, or are they still wondering to this day who cursed them? The aftermath is crucial. Did they change their behavior? Did they move away? Or did they just suffer in confusion?
Anonymity: Your Secret is Safe
One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to share their revenge story is the fear of getting caught—again. When you submit your tale of payback, you can change names, dates, and locations. The goal is to share the method and the satisfaction, not to incriminate yourself (unless the statute of limitations has passed, then brag away).
We encourage you to use pseudonyms. Call your ex "The Rat" or your boss "Mr. Micromanager." It adds flavor to the story and keeps you safe. Remember, the best revenge is the kind you get away with, and that includes telling the story afterwards.
Reading for Inspiration
Maybe you haven't taken your revenge yet. Maybe you are currently sitting in the middle of a conflict, seething with rage, looking for a way out. Reading the archives is the best way to brainstorm.
You will find that you are not alone. There are thousands of people dealing with the exact same nonsense you are. Browsing through stories about bad relationships or family feuds can trigger a lightbulb moment. You might see a prank involving tuna fish and curtain rods that fits your situation perfectly.
Furthermore, reading these stories helps you calibrate your response. You can see what worked and what backfired. You can learn the difference between a harmless prank that relieves tension and a criminal act that lands you in hot water. We are here for the laughs and the justice, not the jail time.
A Note on "Petty" Revenge
Never let anyone tell you that you are being "too petty." Petty is an art form. Sometimes, the grand gestures aren't possible or necessary. Sometimes, moving everything on someone's desk two inches to the left every day is enough to drive them slowly insane.
Petty revenge is about reclaiming your power in small increments. It is about the psychological warfare that says, "I see what you are doing, and I am not going to take it." If your story involves minor inconveniences that added up to a major headache for your target, we want those too.
Join the Ranks of the Avenged
The Revenge Guy isn't just a website; it is a repository of human justice. It is a library of pushback. By submitting your story, you are adding to a growing database of evidence that implies you shouldn't mess with people.
So, dig into your memory. Find that moment where you turned the tables. Write it down, polish it up, and send it in. Let the world know that you didn't just get mad—you got even.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How detailed should my revenge story be?
The more details, the better. Readers love to know the specific context of why the person deserved it and exactly how you pulled it off. However, try to keep the narrative focused. Avoid rambling about unrelated events. Focus on the grievance, the plan, and the execution.
Q: Can I submit a story if I haven't gotten revenge yet?
If you are still in the planning phase, you can submit your situation to ask for advice rather than sharing a completed story. The community and The Revenge Guy can offer suggestions on how to handle the situation, whether it involves a cheater, a neighbor, or a boss.
Q: Is my identity protected when I submit a story?
Yes, absolutely. You should never use real names or specific addresses in your public story. We recommend using pseudonyms for everyone involved. Your email address is kept private and is never published with your story.
Q: What if my revenge was technically illegal?
We strongly advise against confessing to current crimes. If you share a story, ensure you are not incriminating yourself in a way that could lead to legal trouble. Focus on the cleverness and the prank aspect. If the statute of limitations has passed or the act was in a legal gray area, use your discretion and definitely change the names.
Q: Can I share a story about a family member?
Yes, family drama is a common source of revenge stories. Whether it is a mother-in-law who oversteps boundaries or a sibling who stole your inheritance, family conflicts often lead to the most passionate tales of payback. Just ensure you disguise their identities sufficiently.
The Revenge Guy is your premier destination for the art of getting even. We provide a platform for the wronged to vent, a community for the vindictive to unite, and a shop full of tools to help you execute the perfect prank. Whether you need advice on handling a cheating spouse or just want to read about bad neighbors getting their comeuppance, we are here to support your journey from victim to victor.
