Revenge Stories When People Get Way Too Personal
Revenge is something that all of us think about on occasion. Perhaps we have had people get revenge on us for something we have done in the past and certainly, we have thought about getting revenge on others.
There is a difference between dreaming of the scheme that would give you the revenge you desire and actually going through with it. In the following stories, however, the people went through with it in the most personal way possible.
Not every revenge story is a good story but as you read down through these tales, you will see that they provide you with a lot of satisfaction. After all, these people did what most of us have dreamed of doing.
This week was our middle school reunion (most of us went to the same K-8 school, ages 6-14 for our friends across the pond) and while we all were laughing and talking over Zoom, my friend (whom I’ll call Janice) brought up this memory.
At our schools, with the exception of Kindergarten, two grades would be paired together (so 1st and 2nd grades would be taught together, 3rd and 4th would be taught together, so on and so forth).
The 7th and 8th grades had to do a special project every year called Toy Team (or TT).
Basically, we would be put into teams, build a specific toy that we could market. Representatives from local businesses would be invited to judge our projects and win awards in various categories (Best Presentation, Best Design, Best Research, etc).
The idea behind this project was to teach teamwork, ingenuity, creativity, etc. But in the end, it caused more trouble than it was worth… for reasons I’ll get to in a moment.
