Read Sweet Revenge: 200 Delicious Ways to Get Your Own Back for Free Online
Authors: Belinda Hadden, Amanda Christie
He had, quite simply, been making a house call. The red car belonged to a total stranger.
The wealthy boss of the car wash was very particular about his 911 Porsche. It had to be gleaming when he arrived for work and someone had to be sure it had been put through the wash for him, irrespective of his time of arrival. One morning, the boss arrived earlier than usual for work and the car had not been cleaned, so the hapless lackey responsible was fired. The lackey was very miffed about this so, on his last day of employment, he went into the car wash and secretly fixed hidden wire coat hangers inside those oh-so-soft washing brushes that rub the car clean...
The local GP finally had enough of the shoppers and trippers who would arrive in the charming village of Chipping Campden, open their car doors and let out their dogs who would immediately evacuate themselves, usually right outside his home or surgery. He quite simply scooped up the offending mess with a trowel and popped it back in the car.
A man wanted to get back at the appliance repair firm which promised five times in a twelve-hour period that the repair man was on his way — he made thousands of phoney coupons offering a free microwave service and put them on the windshields of all the cars parked near the company.
A woman in Chicago glued sand on to her detestable brother-in-law's windscreen wipers. It made lovely designs on the windscreen.

'If you are in the business of revenge

Chinese proverb
Office Politics
The flamboyant head f a large London advertising agency always wore casual clothes to the office in a vain attempt to pass himself off as 'one of the lads'. However, he always kept an expensive designer suit hanging on the back of his office door, in case of an emergency meeting with important clients.
He only made three wrong career moves in his life. The first was to have an indiscreet and long-running affair with his secretary. The second was to dump her publicly and unceremoniously in favour of an eighteen-year-old temp in the Accounts Department. And the third was to order the same long-suffering secretary to take his 'emergency' suit to the cleaners in readiness for an early morning presentation to the Ministry of Defence when the agency stood a good chance of being awarded the highly lucrative naval recruitment account.
She duly obeyed his instructions, omitting to mention a refinement which he only discovered twenty minutes before the presentation was due to take place. She had arranged with the dry cleaners that the trousers were shortened by eight inches.
When Mr Smith discovered his wife was having an affair with her boss he decided to exact spectacular revenge. In order to do so he carefully researched and collected data and information on the eminent
international firm where she worked.
First he sent tapes and letters to all the senior executives at his wife's office, informing them of his wife's affair with their chief executive. Not content with this, he then hacked into the firm's computer and wrote an embarrassingly frank memo in his wife's name, to be distributed around the company. Not only did it admit to the affair but also gave intimate details about key staff and company directors. Her private life 'she' said was a disaster and had been 'virtually sexless' for seven years. The memo went on to suggest that there were to be many redundancies and that 'several senior staff are not justifying their enormous salaries'.
He then sent the tapes and letters to the executive's wife, who said that 'it came like a bolt out of the blue'. Having been confronted by his wife, the lover admitted the affair and was promptly asked to leave the family home. He is no longer chief executive and is now in an overseas office. Mrs Smith resigned the day after the letter was sent out.
