What you need to do is go looking for a mound of dog crap, scoop it up in a bag and in the hours of darkness, go to their car and smear it under their car door handles and around the front door handle of their house.

I did this to an old neighbour of mine who let his dog crap anywhere without picking it up. I watched him try to get into his car the following morning for work and his reaction was well worth it. Most satisfying!

I had a letting company give me the run around, they kept saying cheque in the post, I went in to the office and the manager would not see me so I said that I was returning the next day at 1pm and I wanted the cheque, the next day I had worked myself up so much that when I went in and got the "he's not in" I took my jumper off and started unbuttoning my shirt and said I was going to rip the f'lippin door off to his office if I didn't get my money, he came out and signed the cheque infront of me.

Stick a drawing pin in the dog muck on the car door handle.
When it pricks their finger they'll put it straight in their gob.
Going nearly 3 years now and only person who hasn't paid
me is my mates son. Don't like telling him even though he gave
his son the money.

Sorry, guys, all these revenge & threat tactics may make you feel better in the short term, but the older I get, the more I see my Mum was right when I was a kid.

"If you do it back, you'll make yourself as bad as them - two wrongs don't make a right."

Sounds goody-goody, but I get more satisfaction just knowing I did right, and that if other people want to be rip-off merchants, that's their problem. My good reputation, and self-satisfaction, is worth more than the £100 or whatever. The best revenge is to live a good life. :)

If you let it brew it will bug you for months or even years, face it now and do something about it.

On Christmas eve, me and the wife went to a large farm that supply pubs and restaurants with top quality meats and poultry. We went to pick up our Christmas turkey and a load of other meats and pork pies (they sell to public).

The tarmac lane going down to the farm is only very narrow and just enough width for one car. Along the half mile lane is various passing lay-by’s to pull in to let people through, or vice versa.

After we picked up our stuff, we drove off heading back down the lane (which was frozen and slippy). A car was approaching us from the opposite direction.

There were no passing places near where our car was to pull in, but I noticed he was approaching one to his right. Sure enough the ignorant c*** decided that he was not going to pull in, but continue towards us.
I could see he had no intention to pull over, so stupidly, god knows why, I gave in and pulled over on to the grass verge at the side of the lane to let this arse hole pass.

He drove passed and glared at us, no thank you wave, nothing. And I was left with hardly no traction in the snow covered verge. My car is a BMW and useless in snow (rear wheel drive).

This incident is so petty and I know it is, but yet it has played on my mind ever since that day. At the time my mood stooped soon after. I kept on reflecting throughout the day at this stupid incident and what I should have done at the time. I wish I would have stood my ground and made him pull over onto the grass, or got out and gave him what he was asking for.

My wife kept asking me what I was thinking about, and was amazed that I was still brewing on it 6hrs later.

That's a good tip Shaun. Start taking your kit off and scare their customers away. Nice one. ;)
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.
