Siblings, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them. As a sister, I can attest to the various obstacles one might encounter when dealing with a sibling. I would never let anyone hurt my precious baby brother, but I do get a kick out of annoying the heck out of him. 

One person took some sweet revenge on his younger brother. The story begins with an account of a frustrated older brother who has reached his breaking point. The brother takes matters into his own hands and decides to teach his younger bro a lesson. Instead of begging the younger brother to respect his boundaries, yet again, the older brother decides on an alternative course of action.  However, if I keep talking, I might as well ruin the entire story for you guys! After you finish scrolling, be sure to check out a story about a company that refuses to renew a senior employee's contract!

    Just got reminded of this story by another petty revenge. So many years ago when i was a college freshman (18m at the time), my younger brother (12m at the time) would constantly take things from my room. Pretty typical behavior, but i would always tell him to

    just ask and I probably wouldn't have a problem with it. However, he was notorious for not returning it and for tearing it up. It was bad when i lived at home, but it got worse after i left for college.

    I came home for Thanksgiving break and noticed several of my things missing. I went into his room and there they were. I told little broseph to stop and if he wanted something from my room to just call and ask first. I also warned him that if he kept it up, there would be a reaction.

    When i came home after for Christmas, more stuff had gone missing. Since experience is sometimes the best teacher, i decided to reciprocate. While little broski was still at school, i went into his room and removed all of his clothes.I and hid them. To be fair, i just stuck them in the hall closet right outside his room.

    Later that night about 8:30 or so he was taking a shower and then all of a sudden i hear a "What the heck. Where are all my clothes." He comes down to tue living room with just a towel freaking out because he can't find any clothes. I casually mention that i had

    After that he started asking to use my stuff and i like to think that i helped save him from a live of degeneracy and misery. He's now an orthopedic surgeon and i'm pretty proud of him. You're welcome people of the world. Feel free to mail me my Nobel Peace Prize!

    JennyDsings- 17 hr. ago This is the exact perfect petty consequence! No actual harm nor foul done, and your parents were likely thankful that lesson was learned by your brother without real and severe consequences. Glad you two are happy and thriving. Good story!

    Younger would antagonize Older relentlessly. Older would warn Younger, and would retaliate to a certain degree such as giving noogies, or holding him down and tickling until Younger lost his breath.

    Although I warned him multiple times over many years to stop antagonizing and irritating the s tout of Older and his friends, Younger was relentless until Younger was ultimately locked out of the house... N d!

    Coygon 3 hr. ago . If it ever happens again (which it won't, all these years later, but I suppose this might come in useful for a reader here) hide them in the freezer. After soaking them first.

    Outside also works, if you live in Alaska or the upper midwest and it's winter.
