County Mower Shreds Dad's Shrubs, Dad Revenges With Rebar


This tale of pro revenge involving an inconsiderate county mower and a dad who wasn't going to put up with anyone's nonsense reminds us of another revenge involving a steel-enforced mailbox and a snowplow. The grin on dad's face must've spanned from cheek to cheek. Sounds like the county mower was ultimately unsuccessful with trying to get dad to cough up cash for those broken blades too. Talk about the icing on the cake.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/SwizzleMalarki • 1y + Join County mower trimmed down our shrubs for no reason. Go ahead and try that again... First time posting. I was reading a post on here about a neighbor running over the poles in their yard and it reminded me of this story. Also writing this from my phone, so bear with me. Tl;dr at the bottom. When I was 7 or 8 my dad planted a row of shrubs along the front of the property. They started out as scrawny sticks, but fast-forward a few years and they were

2.

Text - After my dad found the corner cut off he confronted the county mower, who mowed the public areas around our house: "Why the hell did you cut down my shrubs?" "Because they were hanging over the road. Anything hanging over the road will be cut back" "What? No they weren't. I keep these shrubs cut so they're only over my property." "I'm not gonna fight you on this. You let them grow up like that and I'll cut them down again." "...Fine."

3.

Text - For those of you that don't know, shrubs grow pretty quickly. A few months later the shrubs had made progress toward recovering and my dad got an inkling that it wouldn't be long before the mower lopped them off again. So he did what any man would do to get revenge in that situation - he went to Home Depot and bought a bunch of rebar. Rebar is a very sturdy steel bar used to reinforce concrete (rebar = reinforcing bar) and nothing short of a steel saw or cutting torch is going to get thro

Text - There were pieces of mower blade strewn about across the road and two of the three blades on the mower nothing but nubs. "You destroyed my mower!" "No I didn't. I made sure that rebar wasn't an inch over the road. That's what you get for mowing down my shrubs" "The county'll be charging you for those blades" "Feel free to have them give me a call so I can have them come out and see exactly what happened." They never called or sent a bill. The mower never touched our shrubs again. And thos

Text - Edit: For those worried about the danger of this, when I say the blades were strewn across the road I mean along the 5 or 10 feet the mower traveled before he stopped. They broke off and fell to the ground rather than flying all over the place. We expected it to just chew up the blades, not break them, but it was worth the cleanup to see the look on the guy's face. Tl;dr: County mower took a chunk out of our shrubs, so when they grew back my dad hid rebar in them which destroyed the mower

Choosing Beggar's Request Lands Them At Comedy Club


It's never a good sign when the buyer kicks off negotiations asking the seller what the lowest price that they'll go for is. From there, it gets even worse when they're told about the lowest acceptable price and proceed to try and lowball that to oblivion. Check out some more choosing beggar madness with this choosing beggar who couldn't (or wouldn't?) grasp the meaning of a deposit.

Loud Neighbors Deprive Family Of Sleep, Kids Take Revenge


This is certainly not the first time that we've encountered a case of neighbors being loud and inconsiderate, and we doubt that it'll be the last. With that being said, this particular scenario brought into play some loud neighbors that insisted on being a sleep-robbing nuisance. So, the kids decided to be their personal, unwanted alarm clock. All in all, the perfect recipe for a successful petty revenge.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/wolfmutt • 2d + Join You want to deprive our whole culdesac of sleep for years with loud music in the middle of the night? Let us be your alarm clock in the morning. I'm bad at titles, excuse me. Since we were but smol babs, our neighbors, their kids and their friends have had this...lovely habit of either driving into or straight tearing into the neighborhood with no regard for the safety and well-being of themselves or the rest of us and blasting pop and rap music from

Text - No surprise, they took their sweet time and sometimes no one was picked up or maybe even dropped off. So you can imagine the pure, overwhelming joy we experienced when we found out some of the drivers only came into the culdesac to lean out the window to briefly talk to someone, all while that their music practically rattled the foundation of our houses. Our dad, at the time (and still) can work late into the night and early into the morning, sometimes coming home in the middle of the nig

3.

Text - Sick and tired after so many nights and morning having been woken up by or kept awake...it was quiet now and we were alone. It was time. Now, we were still exhausted but we rarely had opportunities where we were alone (and less likely to get grounded by our parents.) as they were not home. And so, as the sun began to peek over the trees like a Midwestern version of the opening to The Lion King, we carried a radio out of the house and stood at the end of the guilty neighbors driveway.

4.

Text - Cranking up the volume as high as it would go, put in our chosen weapon (a cassete tape of bagpipe music) and flicked the music on an gently waking the whole house...and probably every other neighborhood for several blocks with the song of our people. (It was not our intention to involve innocent people but we were pretty young and hadn't completely thought the whole plan through.) our lack of a complete plan was made very apparent as the front door flew open and out ran the parents. Our

5.

Text - No surprise but the neighbors were all not too happy with us, though only the one family snitched. We got in so much trouble for that...grounded for weeks. But it was worth it. While the cars kept coming into the culdesac at all hours, they no longer played music. We had won. 2 1 O 2 1 2.2k 69 1 Share

Signs that Kids are Not Smart People


Human beings are amazingly intelligent creatures, but what comes before that is the absolute wildest period of trial and error. Kids are strange and dumb, and while it's not completely their fault, it's hard to ignore. They'll mess up couches, scream for no reason, and demand to touch the stove. There's too much proof that kids are dumb as rocks.

When I tell him that "it's wrong" because it has the crust, he responds "But don't you want to be a good whistler?" At the time I hadn't learned to whistle yet. He went on, "Think about it, you don't eat your crust and you can't whistle. I DO eat my crust and I CAN whistle." I gasp, "That's true!" and from that day on I ate my crust. (And yes, I am a good w

I always assumed that she meant "grating" as in grating cheese so l would go to bed excited for all the cheese I would be getting in the morning. I pictured her in the kitchen with just mountains of cheese around her. I never got the grated cheese in the morning but I also never questioned the fact that it wasn't there.

Design Failures That Could Use Some Work


Designing stuff is hard, and it's conducive to all kinds of design fails. If it's a sign, you have to check for embarrassing spelling mistakes. If it's a building, you have to make sure there aren't any pipes going straight through any staircases. People are pretty good at their jobs in general, but there are still a lot of impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments.
