How to Get Revenge on the Co-Worker from Hell

Angela Russell
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is meant for Humor only.

Is there someone you work with that you absolutely cannot stand? Do you find yourself wishing this person would just quit or be fired? Of course, in life, we all have personality conflicts, but we are generally able to bite our tongues and move on. In most cases, I can block out pretty much anyone who annoys me. They can be speaking directly to me, and although it appears I'm listening, I'm actually not and I have no idea what they have said.

One of those annoying people works with me. He has been at the company forever, and thinks he has some sort of entitlement. He is loud, obnoxious, and a drama queen. He has to be the center of every conversation and expects the whole world to revolve around him. He brown-noses, gossips, and attempts to start trouble. To deal with this, I have come up with the top ten ways to get back at your stupid and annoying coworkers.

I must preface this list by stating:

Should you decide to do any of the things in the list below, be fully aware that severe repercussions could occur. You are responsible for your own actions and should any item on this list backfire, it is of no fault of mine. (You are just not clever enough!)

1. Pull all the keys off his keyboard, rearrange them in different spots. He does not know how to type properly anyway, he hunts and pecks. It will take him forever to fix it.

2. Find out what he is working on and when he leaves his desk, delete the file. (Don't forget to empty the recycle bin)

3. Put thumbtacks in his chair.

4. When he leaves his desk, rearrange everything on it. Turn his monitor around, move everything to a different location.

5. Delete his saved email. Delete his contact list. Do it every time he fixes it, it will make him appear incompetent.

6. Each time he leaves his desk, turn his computer off.

7. Ignore him when he speaks. Do not look at him at all. Pretend he is not there, Mr. "I need affirmation" will hate that. He must have attention.

8. When he leaves his desk, page him to come to the office, then when he gets there tell him never mind. Do this several times a day.

9. Pour salt in his coffee.

10. Pull the cords almost all the way out of his computer, then when he asks for help tap them as you walk by, and act like he's crazy, because nothing is wrong.

None of these things will cure your urge to throw you stapler and hit him square between the eyes. However, they will cause him just a little annoyance to make up for the pure hell your day has become because of him.

If your idiot is like mine, he will repeat the same things over and over, so be careful about what you do in retaliation, you will relive it for weeks.

    �I have a friend and she wants revenge on these people and she wants someone to go to three different houses and scare these people. She is wondering does anyone knows anybody that can be a rough neck or in a gang that is from long beach, san bernadino, moreno valley, los angeles, compton, riverside, whitttier, el monte, and different state such as ATL, and so on.�if so she wants someone to go to this address 5820 3rd ave los angeles, ca 90043 (marlene)(aberham)and threaten them over the phone. Another house 6040 Arlington Ave Los Angeles, CA 90043 3232917715 (ruben)These people are about 5'5, 5'6, and 6'1, when going to the place ask for ray cooks, ruben broaster, and abraham so someone can kick their asses. Use your fists and� use something to scare these people to death.

    ���� My friend wants to get back at them for something they did to her. The witch and the Ho called the cops on her for no reason. She did do nothing to them. The house in 6040 Arlingto

    We have one of the most unbelievable co workers from hell. This guy is a salesman for the company. A complete idiot. He makes believe he is the vice president of the company. He has given himself the title of executive sales manager. He smells and is completely unkept.
    The fact is we all hate him beacause he is a rat. How do we get even. One day when cleaning the office we found a wireless door bell. We put the chime unit in to our friend the salesman office and hid it up in the ceiling tile. We have the door bell button hidden under a desk in the next office. Then we just sit and listen to him talk on the phone or with a guest in his office. When we hear him make a stupid comment or remark we ring the bell. Ding Dong!!!!! Ding Dong!!!! Remember you have to laugh or we will never make it thru the day.

    my co-worker used to mess with my lunch- poking it with her fingers and tasting it or flat out eating it. So I started labeling it " Urine Sample" and " vomit" she eventually got the message.

    The sad thing is that my coworker from hell is dumb enough that she's done some of this stuff HERSELF. She still has a job. ARRRRGGHHHH

    some of these are good, but nasty emails can be the best...anonymous or not, emails are a great tool for a sarcastic retaliation. I sent an email to an awful coworker who I just bit my tongue over for a few years...after she embarrassed me, I let her have it with a funny sarcastic email! sweet revenge!

    LOL i can just see you sitting there imagining you are doing these things while he is driving you crazy .LOL office fantasies used to cope.

    I love #1! Just as a prank, we used to cross people's phone lines so they'd get each other's calls once upon a time when I shared an office.
