I am watching John Tucker Must Die for the nth time already. I really love the way the girls took their revenge on John Tucker. I haven't taken a revenge on an ex because I dumped all of them and not the other way around. I have somehow taken revenge on a boyfriend who cheated on me by hacking his facebook account and posting his messages with the girl on his wall. How about you? Whom did you take revenge on? How did you do it? And why did you do it?

Well, no. I let karma do all the dirty work, it's better that way and its a lot worst. Plus you're sin free!
I've been cheated before and I just let my ex go, It's hard to forgive and forget but as time goes on you'll learn to do so. And doing that I've learned that his experiences without me became more hard. I can remember him asking me how did I become so happy right now, because for him it was miserable.
I told him that maybe it's because i deserve to be happy. ^.^

That's ok. Each person is unique and your unique that way. Your ex would probably remember not to mess with you anymore! ^.^

People would remember not to mess with me anymore. Sometimes that's a bad thing, but, whatever.

Yeah, maybe so. Sometimes I just can't help bringing matters into my own hands. As I've said, I'm evil that way.

Where we used to live we had two friends. One that was a born again religous fanatic and the other was a sweet mexican gal who worked as a cook and was very good at it. The two of them got together and went to the mountains drinking one week end with a boyfriend of the religious fanatic. When they came back the sweet gal was beaten up really bad. The only one who could have done it was the religious fanatic and maybe her boyfriend. My daughter and I thought this was horrible. We got a spell book and painted a hex sign on the religious fanatics back step. She freaked. She knew what it was. She wouldn't come out of that door or go anywhere near that door. She put her couch up against the back door.

I don't recall what hex sign we painted on the step. That wasn't important. Just out of some book we found on the subject. Yes, we knew who hurt her. We just never knew the full story. It was the religious fanatic and maybe her boyfriend. They got into a fight about something and all my daughter and I could take from the situation is that it was her and him and he didn't try to stop it and he may have been in on it. Neither of them were much in my book.

Strong. That's the perfect description for what you did. What sign did you paint on her back step, if you don't mind? And, did you ever find out who really hurt her?

Yes i have been there revenge to my boyfriend when i was young and pretty. He was gone after our one and a half year of being lovers and he married his ex-gf while he is my current bf. I was really shocked when i knew that he is going to marry his ex.. Of course i cried and mourn for many months but when i was recovered myself I took revenge to all boys who wanted me to be their gf. Evrytime they courted me i told them to bring anything i like. Like roses with chocolate, bring me with friends to restaurant and movies and more fun outside. I am happy if they are hooked with me and if i know they are suffering to get my "yes". That's make me feel food then.

Oh, wow. You made lots of guys pay. I think I know someone who did that to the guys because of what the one she really loved did. I hope you don't let good guys pass though.

I did but it did not end well. My ex left me the first time and when he called me asking me to wash his clothes and bring them too him at work I washed them alright. On the hottest cycle with a full bottle of bleach! He was pissed, but later laughed about it. We got back together and then I walked in on him with another woman... too months after we had gotten a marriage license. I had just bought him a truck and I was PISSED! When I found out he actually had just married that woman that day I went through the roof. I told him to sign the title of the truck back over to me. But, he refused to do that. Then I told him he needed to give me the money for that truck and he wouldn't do that. So, I keyed the truck. And I actually kind of keyed words to the effect that he loves me on the side of the truck. And I ended up in jail. I was livid over that too! So, when he came back to my house begging me to take him back I agreed to sleep with him (court date hadn't occur d yet.) Then when I went to court I informed the judge of our little dalliance and said that I didn't think I should get in trouble for it if he wasn't done with what we had yet. It worked! Not only that, his wife left him a month later and he ended up wrecking the truck.
In the end it all worked out... but those 4 hours I spent in jail is enough for me to highly recommend someone else think through their revenge a little more before doing it.

Whoa! I wouldn't do that, I guess. I do want to get even most of the time but I also want to stay away from jail. My favorite types of revenge are those that may teach the other person a lesson but not to the point that there would be legal work involved.

hello lynlypiochy!
oh yes! i have taken revenge on someone before but i hope not to do it again on someone else, lol. i found out that my boyfriend then was cheating on me through online. He had somehow courted and even had phonesex with some of his girlfriends, whom he had personally met before. i hacked his ym and contacted his girls, posing as him. naturally, i made it a point to blurt out different names for different girls, and whoa, they all dumped him and so did i. there was also this girl i used to know who was so full of herself, she led others to believe that guys are after her, despite her being married. she even went after my bf and told a friend of my mother that my bf is running after her that's why she moved house to get away from my bf, because she's afraid they would fight (my bf and her husband). the irony of it is that she still keeps on going to the office of my bf on some pretenses. Now, any normal married woman who moved house just to get away would not intentionally visit a guy's bf on some pretenses, would she? she was really weaving lies and i had so much of it i contacted a friend to bluff her. My friend texted her and pretended to be the wife of another guy she claimed to have been her bf and told her that if she won't stop with her ways, the wife would send the text messages she send to the wife's husband, including some scandalous pictures of her, in the guy's cellphone. the woman simply shut up and was never seen again in our vicinity. i never regretted doing it to her, she was a devil and i just hope that one day, her husband would find out about her ways. I heard she has another bf now, also married in her new place of business. poor husband.

Your revenge makes me happy! I know it sounds evil, but hey, these people seemed to have deserved what you gave them. If I were you, I wouldn't be sorry too. However, this really isn't a good thing, but still, it's revenge. I know you know that these people may have learned a lesson, or not. Worst case is they didn't, but at least they wouldn't be on your hair any longer.

it seems there are two cases when a person seeks revenge on someone ...
it seems the first case is an explicit action and verbal abuse that accompanied the negative action ...
it seems the second case is an action not meant to be negative but was perceived as negative ... the second case seems to include actions of people who are just trying to survive ... e.g. a father may fail to his obligations to his family not out of intended wrongdoing, but rather as a manifestation of deep inner psychological imbalance ... I suggest we forgive the second type ...
On the first type, we may best assume that the person delivering the wrongful act is confused and is desperately seeking help ...
On the overall, it seems revenge is a short-sighted response .. perhaps the totally holistic response is to forgive and let the wrongdoer feel the need to change for the better ...
But then again perhaps, its only me ... easy for me to say what I have said ... in the end we have a choice to choose the best path we can live with ...
What do you think ?

You really broke it down to two types, didn't you? lol Anyway, yes, it is easier said than to be actually done. I always say it is best to forgive a person rather than to take revenge but I am not a preacher of that saying. Sometimes we just can't help our own emotions and we take revenge on another. I admit, sometimes isn't just sometimes to me though. It's more frequent than you think.

I don’t bother with revenge because I am a firm believer that what goes around comes around and karma will take care of everything. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen! My ex bought me an engagement ring and could not bring himself to put it on my finger at the last minute...He hurt me immensely and my first instinct after we broke up was revenge but I didn’t lower myself, instead I let nature take its course and before I knew it I heard he was dumped by a girl he really liked and he was very upset about it! There...I didn’t have to do a thing and he got what he deserved!

I cannot take revenge. I pray the almighty for correcting the other person from wrong doing. After some time , If the person realize his mistake, he may come to me for taking excuse from me. But I will never take revenge.

hey! i want to say that i have watched John Tucker Must Die a dozen times too, and i think thats a cute and very foolish way of taking revenge. lol
okay on the topic, so revenge, yes of course i took revenge to someone before. lol i even tore my brothers drawing book when he revealed me cutting classes when i was in high school. Oh gawd, however, taking revenge is not good though, well, thats what they say.

It may have been foolish but it works! I mean, for the first part, it did. I guess everybody has taken revenge on other people somehow. Tearing your brother's drawing book? Was he a kid back then? I must have been really evil. I didn't resort to those things. I did it in my own hurtful way. I made sure that they would really regret messing with me.

Even how hurting is the end of my relationship, I never thought of having a revenge to that person or telling bad words to others against that person. I think, revenge will never give a good result. It is more of a negative. Besides, I rather want to move on that being bitter.

I have never taken revenge on anyone for anything. i have not had a reason to do this. It doesn't seem worth it in the end. the sacrifice can be too much.

the first thing that comes from my mind reading this discussion is do we have to take revenge to get even from those who had done us bad deeds? I don't think so because God said, vengeance is mine" and we should not put laws into our hands. I haven't done such things and hope until this world comes into an end.

hmmm, well once. i confronted the culprit and threatened her. i will never forget how pale she was!! she apologized immediately and said that she respects me and said that she would never do it again. i was really laughing after that. she just back stabbed me but i just couldn't let it all pass. so i did something to teach her a lesson. but anyway i forgave her already.
