Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk
about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more
rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them
know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful
plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers, gossiping
friends, or nagging family members. 2. Co-workers who make
comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra early one day.
Before the sun comes up, drive to each co-worker’s house. Reach under the hood
of your co-worker’s car and disconnect the centre wire that leads to the
distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your
friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If you’re lucky, your
boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a
raise. 3. Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets
for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to
leave phony (假冒的) messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get
at is a male, leave message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her
house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl won’t
know what’s going on, and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won’t leave his home for a month. 4. When Mom and Dad and your
sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the
way to make them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likely place.
Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait
about five minutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with
your hand and begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is
point to a raisin (葡萄干) and yell, "Bugs!" They’ll dump their food in the
disposal, jump into the car, and head of McDonald’s. That night, you’ll have
your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time. 5. A
well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The object is simply to let
other people know that they are beginning to bother you. A. The purpose
