The jackass said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah."
He said, "Stop calling me."
I said, "No."
He said, "What's your name, Pal?"
I said, "Don Hansen."
He said "Where do you live?"
"1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black Camaro parked out front."
"I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers."
"Yeah, like I'm really scared, Jackass!" and I hung up.
Then I called Jackass #2.
He answered, "Hello."
I said, "Hello, Jackass!"
He said, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll kick your butt."
"Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now Jackass!" And I hung up.
Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was
at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as he got home.
Another quick call to Channel 5 about the gang war going on down on W.34th Street.

After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing.
Glorious! Watching two Jackasses kicking the crap out of each other in front of 6 squad cars and a news helicopter was one of the greatest experiences of my life! [/I]

What a great story, LOL.

someone smart once said..."the best revenge is living well" or words to that effect.

trying to get revenge is a waste of energy. bitterness saps your strength. nasty folks do themselves in.

about the worst thing i will do is tell another person of my bad experience with someone if they are considering doing business with the *********.

trying to take actual action can land you in hot water.

like in sports they say the retaliation for a flagrant foul is often the one that is caught.

taking the high road allows you to have your self respect.

In 1989 I sold my 79 Cutlass to a friend. He asked if he could keep the plates on it until he got paid the next week. I said sure, we had been friends for 5 years. About a month later I get past due notices for 2 tickets. I gave him the notices and he said he would pay them. 60 days go by and I get a notice my license is going to get suspended if I dont pay them. These started out at 2 $10 tickets and now they want $100. In this year minimum wahe was around $4 and this was a huge sum of money to me.

How to get even?

First an ad in the paper, 79 cutlass parts, no phone just show up at : his adress.

Next ad: free refrigerator and stove, just show up at : his address

3 weeks later another freinds car gets broke into and his stereo system gets stolen.

I place an ad: Kenwood deck, Alpine amp and Rockford fossgate speakers $250, no phone just show up at: his address. I show the ad to my friend that got the stuff stolen and he calls the police. They get a search warrant and FIND THE STUFF!

I don't know if this is accurate...but I think it happened in Italy.

Guy with late Mercedes stops to back into a slot outside a store.
Small FIAT slides into same slot before guy can get his Merc' lined up.

Two guys get out of Fiat and say" That's what you can do with a Fiat."

Merc' driver pulls away and back up some....comes back at speed and rams the Fiat serveral times until it was scrap.

Merc' driver rolls down window and yells, " And that's what you can do when you have money "

.Urban legend ?

I was laughing like crazy at that one!

The ending that I've always heard is, "I'm older and have more insurance."

That and the other one, about the prank phone calls, have been circulating the net for well over a decade!

The stuck up dentist next door had a Memorial day bash one year, and a guest decided to park in my driveway, blocking exit and entry to my house. Mind you, there were plenty of other places to park, but this dimwit decides to park where he did. I went over and asked around, people thought it was funny, and nobody would admit to owning the truck. I got my floorjack and lifted the rear diff, with the help of my wife, we pushed the truck out into the street, double parking it in front of the party house.

When I used to manage an autoparts store, a repair shop owner who was irate about a bad check told me how a certain customer wasn't going to get very far, because he had mixed up soda pop and water soluble valve grinding compound(now I know why he wanted a large tub of it) and poured it into the oil fill of a customers car.

Did you miss this part of my post ??

"I think this was emailed to me some years ago. Some may have heard this one already. The “I” in this story is not me. Like I said. Someone sent me this one. I think, it’s worth a giggle or two. But don’t feel there is much truth behind it. Enjoy !!"

LMAO at your story. Thanks !!

That's out of scene with Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes.

[Evelyn is cut off in a parking lot]
Evelyn Couch: Hey! I was waiting for that spot!
Girl #1: Face it, lady, we're younger and faster!
[Evelyn rear-ends the other car six times]
Girl #1: What are you *doing*?
Girl #2: Are you *crazy*?
Evelyn Couch: Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance.

Hats off to that, Tom.

And, like Mistress mentioned: "instant karma's gonna get you...."

I can't tell you how many times I've just sat back and figured "what goes around - comes around." And sure enough. Like Matt posted. You learn later that it did just that.

I thought that line sounded familiar. Just couldn't place it. Thanks.

I’ll start with this:
Two fellows were in a black Honda Prelude in the left turn lane on a busy city street in Glendale California with lots of traffic. Without warning the driver cut across three lanes of traffic so he could turn right. Other driver’s had to lock up their brakes to avoid a collision and most honked their horns at him. His passenger held a big foam rubber finger out the window while the driver used his own finger.

The Honda had the letters “AP” in the rear wind screen.

About five minutes later I pulled into a shopping center and the gods smiled upon me. There sat the little Honda with AP in the rear glass. I saw the two occupants walking into the K-Mart store so I pulled alongside the car and fetched a can of aircraft paint stripper from my trunk. I printed “Drive Safely” on the hood and “I am a dic*head on the driver’s door. Then I pulled to the far side of the lot and watched through binoculars. When they returned the driver put both his hands on his head and then fell to his knees.

Priceless.

I find that being kind to people and smiling is the best way of getting even with them. But, honestly, you and I both know you didn't do this.

You sure got that right.

It seems to me a lot of folks will do things to you knowing it will piss you off. And, they then feed on your reaction. It seems they do it to feel like they have some sort of control over you and your emotions.

I’ve found that nothing gets back at them like acting as though it hasn’t fazed me in the least.

Have a problem reading about my so called “antics” boy? Tough titty. Exercise your freedom of choice and use the ignore feature instead of whining about it here. Just like I exercise my freedom of choice when I use a jammer on some jerk who has no better manners or sense than to disrupt someone’s dinner with their cell phone drivel. Get over it. There is absolutely, positively nothing you can do about it.

I understand that the new jammers will allow a 911 to go through but they aren’t here yet so I haven’t tested them.

And understand this: There is almost no way to be caught and more and more businesses are using them. You and Paris Hilton better get used to it.
