Any great bullying revenge stories?

I was bullied a lot in secondary school, massively in 1st year, then a good bit in 2nd year, kind if died out for a while then got more in 5th year. We were from a small town, secondary was in a large town about 10 miles away, journey to and from was fcuking misery. So one guy called Patrick who was about 5 foot 10 when he was 13, did most of it and picked on me a lot both physically and mentally. I was a year younger than him and barely 5 foot high.

So his mother was a very nice woman and his Dad a piublic servant with a very prominent job. Patrick used to slag my Dad off a lot, so one day he had me in the usual throat lock and was giving me verbal abuse. When he stopped I said to him that if he ever laid a finger on me I'd tell his mother. He actually went a bit white, but the fear and panic in his eyes said that he was afraid of upsetting her.

Of course he threatened me that if I did that he'd kill me, but he never laid a finger on me from that day on, nor did he ever speak to me. Neither did any of his 'gang'.

When I was about 28 I was back in Ireland on holidays and in a town near us (he moved to Galway when he was about 15). I hadn't seen him in nearly 15 years. I was sitting with some mates, he made some abusive comment to me, so I stood up and walked over to him, low and behold I was the same height as him, he was visibly shocked as I was always thin and about 6-10 inches smaller than him, now I was 12 stone, very fit and the same height. I invited him outside, he refused, I said to his girlfriend that he used to bully me as a kid as I was always way smaller than him, now he's just proved that he's a coward. Nothing happened, I went back to my mates.

They split up soon after, they had bought a house together, not sure if it was to do with me, but mates reckoned it was part of a process where she realised that he was a bit of a cnut.

My mom and I were visiting my grandmother. I was only about 4 and my mom was heavily pregnant with my brother.

She was held up with a syringe and the guy stole her purse. I went mental and ran off. He was went to the same school as my Dad.

My dad managed to get the purse back. He didn't beat him or report it to the guards though or anything.

But years later my Dad saw the same guy begging on the street.

I went to school in the UK. There was a guy who got his pubic growth spurt before everyone else. He generally acted the prick and pushed everybody around. He also picked on some more vulnerable characters in particularly vindictive ways. Three years later everybody else caught up and overtook this gob****e physically. No physical retribution, but very firmly ostricised socially. While most boys stayed on for A levels, this guy had to crawl away to another school. I'm sure he learnt his lesson.

I disagree. Tormentors want you to remain vulnerable and sweet. They want you to forget about it and move on. The last thing they want and the most thing they fear is your righteous anger.

And I know this from real life experience.

Its very emotionally crippling to know someone angry at you has the right to be so.

It's shaming to a bully.

I'd like to believe that but bullies have no shame and no capacity for remorse, I've sometimes thought about writing to the one who abused me but then I return to my senses and realise it would only make them happy

You either hurt them or do nothing and try and move on and hurting them means prison, plus you still have the same life with the same memories

There was a Christian (how ironic) brother in my old school, for many years he bullied the kids, bet them berated then etc...by the time the 90’s came around he was an old man and beating kids was no longer allowed, the tables were turned and the kids gave him hell even throwing rocks at him to the delight of the previous generations

I was bullied (briefly) in school by one particular lad who hit me in the face several times one evening because I wouldn't comply with the orders from him and his accomplices.

I always realised that terms like snitch/grass/squealer were used by bullies to control their victims, something I tell my kids to this day.

So I had no hesitation in telling my parents what happened. They were never great as a couple (they separated not long after I finished school), but this was their finest hour. They contacted the school and raised holy hell. The bully was suspended for two weeks, and I was never touched again. They were all afraid to. I'd encourage any kid to do the same.

The twist in the tail is a couple of years later I met the lad completely randomly on the street in Salthill. First thing he did was apologise profusely. Then he asked me if I wanted to go shoot some pool, so we did.

I mean a lot of bullies have taken their particular talents into their chosen careers and not all illicit and uses their skills to get promotions and excel in life.

This view that all bullies ended up destitute and living in despair is a fallacy.

Strumms · 04-07-2019 08:58PM

I don’t buy this argument, the one that says the bullies bully because they were bullied themselves. Maybe they were but having experienced that misery and torture why the fûck would you inflict the same on anybody else ?

I found myself bullied in the workplace for a time by a particularly malicious individual. He was an assistant manager yet anyone senior to him for some reason including his line manager turned a blind eye.

What used to make you a target in his sights was not if you were bad at your job, fûcking up or lazy, but if you were good at your job, looked upon favorably by colleagues AND managers, and doing a good job, doing well. He himself was ambitious and this threatened him.

He was in charge of doing the weekly rotation of tasks for us all. I’d get lumbered with about a third extra than anyone else, and if I had the brass neck to complete that before others too I’d be sent to help them.

When I queried it I was told as I was younger, fitter and more able I was being assigned an appropriate level of work for my ability.

On Fridays I was falling out of there, Saturday spent almost in recovery and it did eventually affect my health.

I initially tried to speak with him and get his ‘thinking’ but he repeated the mantra that management were entitled to use their employees as resources as best they see it to achieve results. That it was legal.

All I wanted was if 4 of us on shift, 24 tasks be be completed in 8 hours, 6 tasks to be assigned to each employee, whomever get finished first can dig anyone out who is still working.

So bullying doesn’t have to come in the workplace through words or violence but is more often psychological.

My former girlfriend now my wife bumped into one of her early teen tormentors (her mother died young they slagged her relentlessly over that)

In a toilet in a north side pub

Words were exchanged and bully was grabbed by the hair and head was smashed down against a sink

My brother was bullied by a guy in the town who's family are well known to be scumbags. I used to work in a takeaway that said family members used to frequent quite often. Let's just say they got extras with their orders....from faeces to saliva...they never knew what they were eating...

There’s never any need for revenge once one realizes the harshness and abuse that bullies received themselves, mostly in their own homes.

Fcuk them. That's their problem. I have sympathy for anyone who is bullied, right up to the point where they pass that bullying on to someone else. Then my sympathy evaporates. They have no right to inflict that same problem on someone else.

Aged 15 in school got bullied quite a lot by one guy. At 15 I looked 12 and he looked 20. U know the type!
Lived near me also so school holidays where just as bad. He would see u in the local park and grab u and sit on you and even dry hump. Too strong for me to fight off.
One day he just wouldn’t quit hitting and grabbing me while we all played ball on the local green. Off I went home to get a Batton I had under my bed and I also grabbed a kitchen knife. Knife down back of jeans and batton up my sleeve.
Stood at the side of the game watching and of course he comes over to resume the torture. I whipped out the batton and delivered 2 unmerciful whacks across the head. The whole game stopped. Everyone including his older brothers stood in disbelief. He was stunned but not out. At that stage I pulled the knife just to deter a retaliation.

I walked away. Went into hiding for a few days. Went to school a hero. He had bullied many others.

A few days later we had a straighter. He won but that was always gonna be the outcome due to the size difference.

He never came near me again or anyone else for that matter.

Many years later we met at a wedding and he briefly mentioned the incident. I told him honestly that that was the one and only time I carried a knife and I quite possibly would have killed him that day.
A bully can drive u do dispair, suicide and many other outcomes. I decided to take him on and the nightmare ended.

truth, if they have been bullied they should know even more the true consequences of their actions, as I said after my experience even if someone is driving me bonkers there are ways and means of addressing this without resorting to bullying.

No offense but if you think this you might not have experienced someone destroying your life and body by inhuman treatment.

And not everyone has the means to live well.

Some people have not been able to walk again at the hands of bullies.

If you are talking normal teasing I would say suck it up buttercup. Get over it.

Bullying is very harmful and often has a far reaching right in to our adult lives. Indeed bullying in any context is dreadful. I still have dreams about my time in school. The memories linger. However I'm not sure what revenge will gain. I mean you run in to the bully twenty years later, what are you going to do? Confront them? Will that help?

I know what it's like to "want to get my own back" and see certain people suffer for how they hurt me. This isn't in a bully situation mind but all the same, the need was there. These days not so much. Revenge wouldn't change my life. If anything it would alter me for the worse, like selling my soul. I would become as bad as them.

No. Live your life as best you can with the full knowledge that you are a far better person than someone who would bully or willingly hurt others.

My childhood bully topped himself. It filled me with joy knowing he was feeling how he made me feel.

The bully in my early school days later spent a long time living in a big house in Port Laoise. I think I visited 40 countries while he was in there.

ILoveYourVibes · 04-07-2019 10:44PM

Also the reverse.

Just found out a few months ago a girl who was really nice to me in school has her own riding center. Its HUGE too.

She deserves all her success.

A lad I know was sharing with this absolute arsehole, he treated the house as his kingdom and everybody had to do what he said. The day before he moved out he pissed in his shampoo. I couldn't believe it.

Pero_Bueno · 04-07-2019 11:01PM

havent been thru the whole thread, but Adrian Kennedy had a good one, some prick used to bully him at school and he went for chips one day and there was the bully , asking him "Salt or vinegar?"

.. Then a bus passes by with Kennedy's face on it , with an add for FM104 phoneshow - so he says, he is embellishing that part though ... cool story tho!!

On a personal level, I would love to find one prick that gave me a hard time, I have tried the usual social media/ linked in .... nothing though, hopefully he has such a meaningless existence that he is un-googleable ... or better yet ... DEAD!!!

I was bullied in school fairly badly by a gang of guys, about 7 in total when I was between 14 and 16. I was short, skinny and shy when I was younger so I was an easy target. Got the usual grief, stuff stolen, the odd beating, hard shoulders given when passing in the school hallway. Most of the time I just avoided them.

One night coming back from a teenage disco on a bus, the 7 guys were on the bus, drunk and rowdy, they spotted me so they decided to have a go. All 7 of them got me into a corner in a shop front door when we got off the bus and started laying into me, punches kicks etc. Only for a neighbour of my parents who was a good few years older than us spotted them and pulled a few off giving them some decent slaps as he did while rest took off, I would have been in serious trouble as they werent stopping.

There was one particularly nasty little runt who was a small skinny yoke but the hard man type when his mates were around and really went out of his way to target me.

Anyway a few years later, he calmed down a bit and ended up becoming friends with my younger brother through a mutual friend.

I didn't know this and arrived home to my parents one day and there he was sitting in the kitchen chatting away.

When I walked in he went very quiet, as now I'm 6'3 and built a lot bigger, a lot stronger and a lot more confident in my abilities while hes still about 5'8, skinny and fairly weak looking. It's been over 25 years since he last saw me, to say he went pale is an understatement, I walked in, made a point of staring him out of it and then walked straight past him into another room.

I made my point that he wasn't scaring me and no longer a threat. Even my parents noticed my reaction which is very out of character for me as I'm always chatty and up for a laugh.

My brother followed me in and told me a few months before he had a very open chat with the guy about what he and his mates had done to me in school. My brother as shocked as although we went to the same school we moved in different social circles and I never discussed what happened to me with him.

He told me he had warned the guy after the chat how I had changed, grown a lot, broadened out, was well able to handle myself now and if that guy crossed me again, my brother wouldn't be able to stop me from doing serious damage to him. According to my brother it scared the guy a little, because if a guy the size of my brother couldn't stop me, he had no chance.

I've been sociable to him since, but hes definitely wary around me as are 2 of the other guys who are also still around at home and he obviously still keeps in touch with them and told them as they tend to give me a wide birth when I'm home, they say hello and move on quick enough.

I'm sure my brother embellished a little but it seems to have done the trick

:P

Revenge without lifting a finger

It’s really great to hear and see good people have success, I know a girl who went to massive lengths above and beyond the call of duty to help me make an ahead of schedule recovery from illness. She is now married (as was her dream) and got her own place and new job, good people deserve the good things in life.

Any great bullying revenge stories?
