just don't torment yourself in the process, you may end up with the emotional equivalent of an ingrown toenail

Nope, for me rising above it and retaining my dignity is the best revenge.

It's good to rise above it, but sometimes people say/do stuff they shouldn't be allowed get away with - there comes a point when ignoring becomes being a push-over.

It doesn't have to be an extreme case of either full-on ignoring or all-out revenge though. There is a middle ground where you can make it clearly known that you don't accept somebody's behaviour without resorting to extremes like ignoring them or pursuing revenge.

It's just called being in control of your emotions and able to communicate
i.e. a rational adult.

This old saying that you might of heard..
"The man who goes looking for revenge, he should dig two graves"

I think this means that after killing your enemy you need to kill one of his friends or family or something. Not sure how you're supposed to pick which one.

I'd be lying if i said I hadn't thought about it many times, but f**k it, do you really want to stoop to their level?

Revenge is hugely underrated and frankly I think it has gotten something of an undeserved bad press as of late. It can allow you to get really creative and can be very therapeutic and pretty fun.

E.g. being passive-aggressive like your post?

I don't do revenge; I find it irritates people who've screwed you over more if you just build a bridge and get over it. Honestly get over it though,not just pretend to. Mainly because I wouldnt waste my time/energy on people who dont deserve it.

Have read some brilliant revenge stories over time though. The two best were probably the girl who found out her boyfriend was cheating on her, bided her time and waited til he left for a weeks holiday. While he was gone, she dampended the carpet of his flat and covered it with watercress seeds. When he came back, she was gone and the gaf was ruined!

The other was a similar story, but the girl hid fish in the lining of his sofa. Needless to say the smell out of it was disgusting and getting worse by the day and the guy couldnt figure out what it was/where it was coming from.
