If the opportunity of a lifetime comes along, you may as well take it! This person certainly did: u/NALORpod had an incredible tale of petty revenge that took them years to actually act on. Still, it was worth the wait, not just for them, but for another person who was caught up in the drama. 

This story revolves around a boss who was cheating on his wife. He didn't even try to hide it very well! It left his employees in that awkward situation of knowing about the affair, but not knowing what to do about it. They couldn't just contact the boss's wife to tell her about it, and they were just trying to mind their own business. But at the same time, it's hard to ignore an affair when the couple is flaunting it openly. 

Well, this person bided their time and got some really fantastic petty revenge on their boss when the timing was right. Check out the full story down below, as well as comments from people who couldn't believe how everything played out. 

Next up, check out some hilarious online shopping mishaps, like one person whose package was apparently left at their Acura with their dog nearby… but they "don't have a dog or an Acura."

    Ruined my marriage bosses So I hope this fits here. It felt like pro revenge but in hindsight. It's quite petty.

    About 10 years ago when I was 19 I worked for a regional grocery store in the meat packing department. Pay was bad and I had second shift. I came in at 3 and left at 11. It wasn't a terrible job all things considered. I had the meat room to my self so I could listen to music and really just not be annoyed by other employees. My duties when I showed up was to package more ground beef and other beef based products and put them on

Everything was fine at the begining but I found when I would clock in the lady behind the counter. We'll call her V. Wouldn't be there and there would be a line. So I would clock in. Spend

    the first 30 minutes of my shift doing her job. No problem I actually liked that position. Well after the line was done I would almost always see Mr Boss staring me down angry I'm not doing "my" job. He would give me the rant about "doing my duties unless customers needed my help" and they almost always did but he wouldn't listen.

    Come to find out. The reason V isn't behind the counter is because her and Mr Boss are having... "Meetings" in his office with the door closed. Not my husband or wife. Not my problem. We continue this dance of me covering her station and getting in trouble for it for a few weeks untill an ice storm hits.

    I tell my boss I can't my car out and im waiting on a ride so I might be a little late. He proceeded to fire me because "this is the last straw" Btw I hadn't had any write ups. I agree that it's fine because I hate this job any way.

    Fast forward 2 years. I'm 21. And I'm celebrating with my friends at basically the only local bar in this hole town and terrible tiny when we walk in. Who do I see? Why if it isn't Mr Boss and not V. But his wife.

    He looks at me and trys to act like it's a happy coincidence. I sit down. Tell him it's my 21st. He buys me a beer as a gift and I chat him up. Enter my revenge.

    I introduce my self to his wife and tell her how he treated me. Talking about how I would cover the deli counter almost every shift for half an hour and then get in trouble for it because it wasn't my job.

    "No matter how many times I tried telling Me Boss I wouldn't have to cover deli, if he and V weren't having their daily locked door meeting in his office" She looked at him. Looked at me. And couldn't say a word.

    It could be read as But his wife was super polite and friendly and not in that southern religious style. But a genuinely nice person. I'm glad I could help pull the wool to let her know her husband is a complete garbage person.

    CandylandCanada What kind of moron gives an employee grief because the employee is essentially covering for the moron while the moron carries on an affair? *this guy*

    Top_File_8547 That's truly amazing that your boss was the cause of your not being able to do your job and gave you about it and fired you because he couldn't that day. He totally deserved it.

    indigowulf Reminds me of the time I ran into my (now ex) bf out on a date. I introduced myself to her friendly as could be, watching him squirm and loving it. Asked her how long they'd been together- 6 weeks. So, I started rattling. off the nights he spent at my house, and said "funny, because he was F'ing me this night and this night and this night.. oh and we've

    been dating for 5 months.. but he's all yours now!" turned and walked out, smiling that evil smile as I heard the screaming start. I didn't look back, because a true bad never looks back at the explosion they set off.
