After returning from a lovely vacation in Hawaii, 50-year-old Wendy was dismayed to find her beautiful lawn buried under a huge pile of gravel, dumped there by her inconsiderate neighbor, Tom. When he refused to take responsibility for the mess, Wendy decided to take matters into her own hands with a clever revenge plan that soon became the talk of the neighborhood.
Wendy was excited to come home and enjoy her cherished yard, but her joy quickly turned to shock. Instead of a lush green lawn, there was a mountain of gravel that made her garden look like a construction site.
She stormed over to Tom’s house, where he was lounging on the couch, seemingly unconcerned. When Wendy confronted him, he casually admitted he dumped the gravel there because he needed space for a renovation project, not caring about the damage he caused to her lawn.
Wendy was furious and demanded that Tom fix her lawn. He brushed her off, saying it was just gravel and no big deal. Feeling disrespected, Wendy left his house, determined to get even.
Over the next few days, she worked tirelessly, using a wheelbarrow to haul the gravel back to Tom’s driveway. Tom saw her efforts and tried to stop her, but Wendy explained she was simply returning his mess. Their exchange escalated, but Wendy remained resolute, enjoying the sight of his frustration as her hard work transformed his driveway into a gravel pile.
Wendy knew she needed to escalate her plan, so she turned her attention to Tom’s prized garden gnome collection. Enlisting the help of two friends, they snuck into Tom’s yard at night and “liberated” the gnomes. The next day, they took the gnomes on a hilarious town adventure, taking photos of them at various landmarks.
When Tom discovered his gnomes were missing, he was frantic. Wendy feigned innocence and teased him about their vacation. She handed him photos of the gnomes having fun, insisting they wouldn’t return until he compensated her for the lawn damage.
Despite the laughter around the neighborhood, Tom refused to budge. He had a big dinner party planned and loved showing off his garden, which gave Wendy another idea. That night, she returned the gnomes, but with a twist: she dressed them up in funny poses and scenarios, creating a scene that would shock his guests.
When Tom woke up to find his gnomes in embarrassing positions, he was mortified. The neighborhood buzzed with gossip, and he was left scrambling to restore order. Eventually, Tom came to Wendy, defeated and ready to make amends. He finally offered to pay her for the lawn repairs. Wendy agreed, reminding him of the lesson he needed to learn about being a good neighbor.
To celebrate the return of her lawn, Wendy threw a barbecue party and made Tom the reluctant host. She decorated the area with photos of the gnome adventure, ensuring everyone enjoyed a good laugh. Wendy wondered if she had gone too far, but deep down, she felt that Tom had it coming. After all, sometimes a little playful revenge can teach valuable lessons about respect and community.
My Husband Brought Home a Pregnant Lover and Told Me to Move to My Mom’s – My Re:v.enge Was Harsh
Mike and I had been married for eight years. No kids yet, but I thought we were happy. I worked full-time, split the bills, did everything a good wife does.
Then one evening, I came home a little late, and there she was — HER.
A very pregnant woman sitting on my couch. My heart skipped a beat, thinking she was a friend in need. But the look on Mike’s face told me everything.
“Hey, we need to talk,” he said casually. Then he dropped the bomb: “This is Jessica. She’s pregnant. With my child. We’ve decided to be together.”
I froze. Then he had the nerve to tell me TO MOVE TO MY MOM’S while they took the house. I was speechless. My bl:ood was boiling, but I kept my cool.
I looked him dead in the eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll go away.”
Mike probably thought he’d gotten off easy. Jessica’s smile grew wider. Little did they know, the lottery was about to hit them backhard.
I packed a suitcase with some essentials, and left without another word.
I drove to my mom’s house. The next day, I set my plan in motion.
I marched in the bank like a woman on a mission. I froze our joint account faster than you can say “cheating jerk.”
The look on the bank manager’s face when I explained why was priceless.
Next, I visited a locksmith.
I remembered overhearing Mike tell Jessica they’d be gone for three days, giving me plenty of time to execute my master plan.
My next stop: my house – the same cozy house Mike and I once lived together.
The puzzled locksmith probably thought I was crazy, cackling as I had him change all the locks on the house.
Then came the movers.
I gave them the spare keys and scheduled them to pack up everything I owned, which was basically everything in the house. I even took the toilet paper. Let’s see how Mike and Jessica enjoy using leaves!
But the piece de resistance? I had a brilliant idea that would make this revenge not just sweet, but long-lasting.
I sent out party invitations to Mike’s family, our friends, his coworkers, even nosy neighbor.
The invitation read: “Come celebrate Mike’s new life! Surprise party at our house, tomorrow at 7 p.m.!”
Then, I commissioned a billboard. It was delivered and set up on our front lawn.
In giant, bold letters, it proclaimed: “Congratulations on Dumping Me for Your Pregnant Mistress, Mike! Hope the Baby Doesn’t Inherit Your Infidelity!”
I stepped back to admire my handiwork. With a satisfied smirk, I sashayed away from the scene, eagerly anticipating the chaos that was about to unfold.
The next evening, my phone rang. It was Mike.
“Michelle, What the hell is going on? Why are there people at our house? And what’s with this insane billboard?”, he screeched.
I said, trying to sound innocent. “Just a little housewarming party for you and Jessica. Don’t you like the decorations?”
“Decorations? It’s a freaking circus out here! And why can’t I get into the house?”
I couldn’t help but giggle. “Well, honey, you told me to move out, remember? You never said anything about you staying there. I just remembered that the house is solely under my name. So, I changed the locks. Oopsie!”
There was a long silence on the other end. I could almost hear the gears in his tiny brain trying to process what was happening.
“Where are we supposed to go?” he finally sputtered.
“Gee, I don’t know, Mike. Maybe Jessica’s mom would love to have you? I hear pregnancy hormones and in-laws mix really well.”
In the days that followed, I had the utilities cut off, canceled the cable, and made sure all our joint assets were transferred into my name. I listed the house for sale, making sure to mention in the listing that it came with a “bonus front lawn art installation.”
I had Mike served with divorce papers at work. I specifically requested the mailman to dress up as a pregnant woman. Just for funsies.
But the universe wasn’t done with Mike yet. Oh no, it had saved the best for last.
A week later, I got a call from Jessica. She was crying so hard.
“Michelle,” she sobbed, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know… I mean, Mike told me you two were separated. And now… now he’s broke and homeless, and I’m pregnant, and I don’t know what to do!”
I almost felt bad for her.
“Well, Jessica,” I said, trying to keep the glee out of my voice, “I hear the circus is always looking for new acts. Maybe you two could start a juggling duo? You juggle the baby, he juggles his lies?”
She didn’t appreciate my humor. Tsk! Tsk!
As it turns out, when Jessica found out that Mike was now homeless, broke, she decided that maybe being with a guy who had no money, no house, and no future wasn’t such a great idea after all.
She dumped him.
Last I heard, Mike was living in a tiny apartment, trying to scrape together enough money to pay bills and feed his hungry belly. His family had cut him off, disgusted by his behavior.
They even sent me a fruit basket and a sorry card.
As for me? The house sold for a nice profit. I moved to a beautiful new place, started my own business, and adopted a cat. I named him Karma.
