We love a good old-fashioned wholesome petty revenge. Anyone who has a proclivity for reading books will likely get a kick out of this sweet tale. It's awesome that the teacher didn't meet that master plan with frustration, but instead just broke out in some appreciative laughter. For a more intense revenge tale, check out this pro revenge story about a testy HOA member who got someone's car towed, and then had the favor repeatedly returned.

    Font - Over a decade later, I was working as a hostess in a restaurant and the teacher came in. He recognized my face immediately but couldn't remember my name. He only knew me as "the book worm girl." Apparently he still tells that story every time he gets the opportunity. 3.2k 131 1, Share
