What revenge of yours hit the victim way worse than you thought it would, to the point you said "maybe I shouldn't have done that"?

2. I was dating this girl and my friend saw her around town a few times, and humiliated her in an effort to embarrass me. I told him to stop bothering her, but he did it again. That night I convinced him to try getting back together with his wildly insane and manipulative ex that he hadn't spoken to in years, thinking that he would just humiliate himself by trying. Well, they banged and got back together for a while. And had a baby. Now they're terrible single parents.

3. Had a lawyer a few years back who was a piece of absolute shit. 1) would go months between returning phone calls 2) constantly late with court filings to the point the courts multiple times moved to have the case dismissed from lack of action 3) lied to me constantly about anything and everything 4) refused to be fired (seriously, when I told him he was fired he just ignored me and kept presenting himself as my lawyer, I had to get the courts involved to get him to stop) 5) lied about me (our client has been unreachable, we are considering dropping them (????? I TRIED TO CALL YOU 84 TIME IN THR LAST THREE MONTHS AND YOU DIDNT ANSWER OR RETURN A SINGLE ONE????)) 6) when I finally did fire him, he told me I had to be in court on a specific date (that didn’t work for me) at a specific time (that didn’t work for me) or else the motion to withdraw wouldn’t be accepted. So I got to the court room and the judge was super nice but confused as to why I was there and when I told him the story the judge just goes, “yea, this is all done electronically. Not sure why your lawyer would tell you that other than to be a dick.” Needless to say by the end of all this I was pissed and wrote a 10 page bar complaint about four different lawyers in their offices’ unethical behavior. Well, the bar association decided this was a firm wide encouraged pattern of behavior and threw the book at the four partners. Disbarred for five years, restitution to clients, and only allowed to practice under supervision for a period of 5 years after they return. I felt a little bad, but god damn I was soooooo fucking sick of being jerked around.

4. When I was in fifth grade my teacher gave out a shit ton of homework one day so I got the whole class to help me write a letter to the principal. She found out and cried and shit. I felt really horrible because she was just trying to get us ready for a test coming up...I still feel really bad every time I think about it

6. My bother and cousins were walking home from school. Well my brother and I were walking and my cousins were on bikes. They kept circling us and making fun of us because we didn't have bikes. One of my cousins then spits on me. Out of reflex, I blasted her with my trumpet case and she went flying, landed on the concrete and broke her arm. I felt awful, it was the first and last time I ever hit a girl. My family believed every word of the story, knew this cousin was always a total bitch to me, and largely believed she had it coming. I still felt awful tho.

7. A kid on my track team would always come by and take a drink of whatever I had with me. I was sick of it and brought a root beer with me which had been spiked with 3x the recommended dose of root beer-flavored exlax. Sure enough he came by and I said you know what Tony, why don't you just take the whole thing. Well we were having a home meet that day and he was our best pole vaulter and part of the relay team. I thought maybe he'd feel a little off and under-preform. In the midst of our warm ups, he went missing and was absent the entire meet.

8. Years ago when my dog was a puppy I was watching TV on the sofa with a plate of food on the ground next to me. He snuck in and grabbed a sausage and ran off mischievously. I ran after him laughing with no intention of scolding him, just to get my sausage back. After only a few seconds he stopped, dropped the sausage, and pissed himself in fear. Ironically, while I was apologising to him, my other dog was in the living room eating the rest of the sausages off my plate.

9. I think I have told this before, but. I think i was 15 and was in class and sat next to a friend of mine. He, for no reason, began to say: "HAHA your bald father" which I followed up with "HAHA your bald mother". He started crying and ran to the teacher. I honestly forgot his mom had cancer and was getting chemo.
