Fact: no one likes junk mail.

Another fact: no one likes unsolicited phone calls from strangers.

So, what’s a good way t0 get back at someone you don’t like?

Well, you combine those two previously mentioned things and you drive them insane.

That’s what this person did and they shared their story on Reddit.

Check out what happened!

Boomer bullied me, now her inbox is being bullied.

“I was a young senior carer in a care home and I met the most outrageously rude and nasty woman who should have retired years ago.

She was snappy, cruel and thought she was the bee’s knees.

Yikes…

She would talk over my handovers, she would ignore me when I spoke to her, she would leave things a mess for me to tidy and I had enough.

After a stressful shift (dealing with an unexpected passing) she came on shift and said the most heinous thing I’ve heard.

I quit.

I never went back and I’ve not seen her since.

A few days after I quit, I was thinking and thinking about everything she’d done and that she was the main reason that I quit so I thought of the most irritating things I could do to inconvenience her life without her knowing it’s me.

This was gonna be fun!

I settled on signing her email address and her phone number up for a load of stuff.

I signed her up for anti bullying seminars, new window quotes, gastric bypass surgery quotes, hair extension quotes (she’s practically bald), an advert selling puppies, “am I a bad person test” (guess what score she had sent to her email address?), 10 ways to become a better person, and all the spam stuff I could think of.

It made me cackle for days.

I still smile when I think about it.”

That sounds like a fun, anonymous and satisfying way to get revenge!
