Sometimes the best way to get payback on a coworker is to enact your revenge covertly. They may never even know that someone is sabotaging them; truthfully, they may never need to know. All that really matters is that you are achieving that satisfaction and they are unknowingly getting their much-deserved comeuppance.

Of course, we save these kinds of plots and schemes for people who really deserve them, and this barista's coworker certainly qualifies. He was guilty of flirting with female employees at the coffee shop constantly, to the point that it was making everyone uncomfortable. Well, this Redditor would serve his coworkers coffee throughout the day, and he got back at his coworker by serving him decaf for a total of 5 months without anyone's knowledge. So in the end, the coworker may not have been able to explain why he was so tired all the time, but he certainly was exhausted all the time.
