I'm going to do something terribly naughty. I do hope you'll forgive me. But it does always come up with some lovely results, so I figured we could try it here, and see if we get any interesting responses.
You see, b3ta (http://www.b3ta.com) runs a Question of the Week, where they collect all your lies and anecdotes from the web. I was thinking (as one does, at times) that we could try something similar. It might work. You never know.
The first question is going to be nicked straight from the board, because they have been tried and proven. But from now on, if you have an idea for this week's question, please PM it to me. And if this falls on its face, then I shall know not to try again. Easy.
So, your starter for ten, on this fine Wednesday morning:
How have you taken interesting and cruel revenge on someone that has hurt you? I know you aren't all spiteful people, but there are times when you just have to do something to pay them back. I want to hear them.
For inspiration, here's (http://www.b3ta.com/questions/revenge/) the thread on b3ta. There's some lovely stories on there.
Now, go forth and weave us a ripping yarn!
EDIT:
Oh, how terribly rude of me! I started a thread and didn't give an example of my own. Forgive me for this horrific break in etiquette.
My example is still sat upon my computer monitor:

A dear friend broke up with her boyfriend in a messy way. So we mutilated this little token of affection he had given her in a particularily fun music lesson.
The irony now is that I'm now on far better terms than the ex than the girl herself, but still I keep the decapitated bear on a spike around, as a reminder of her weird scariness.
We gave him the stuffing back in an envelope.
