    The revenge: He was avidly reading a paperback book. We made a rest stop further down the line. When he got off I went to his seat and removed the last 30 pages from the book and placed it back down.

    Suzibrooke 6 hr. ago Since there was absolutely no reason or excuse for his actions, well done. That was a severe penalty, btw. I hope you checked that he would not run out of pages before you got to Spokane, just to be safe.

    ContributionAlone113 5 hr. ago As an avid reader and author, perfect revenge. Simply perfect. He could have lost your stuff, or even claimed it as his own and Greyhound would not have done about it.

    aaseandersen · 3 hr. ago edited 2 hr. ago My sister once dropped my book in the pool and I couldn't read the last 20 pages. Its 15 years ago and I still remember it vividly. Never did read the ending - but she had already finished it! Well done, OP. her.
