Everyone loves a good revenge story. There's something so sweet about watching someone fall prey to their deserved comeuppance. Life is so often random and unjust that it's rare that bad people get what they deserve. Also, how many times have we come up with the perfect comeback… only days later, in the shower? Usually, the perfect revenge is the stuff of movies, like when Regina George gets hit by a bus. Okay, that one might be a little drastic, but you catch my drift.

But sometimes the perfect revenge story unfolds in real-time. You get delivered to the right circumstances, and your brain snaps into action. Like in this recent story about a war between a landlord and a tenant (a tale as old as time) that had commenters tipping their hats to the revenge seeker. But some were divided on whether or not it was justified. Get the details right here.
