It's not easy socializing with former employers, especially when things did not end on a good note. Sometimes, you feel you can transcend any previous tension, but the reality is that it is not easy for those old wounds to heal. 

Here, we have a former employer who pushed this Redditor to quit on the spot by pointing out every little flaw and mistake at work, even when they were entirely unnecessary. Now, years later, the original poster (OP) was asked by his ex-boss if he could join OP's Dungeons & Dragons campaign. OP allowed it, thinking perhaps he is adult enough to withstand his ex-boss's presence. However, it took less than three sessions for his presence to become unbearable, so when the opportunity for some well-deserved petty revenge arose, OP took it.

    last drop was when he held me accountable for a broom that fell over, and I quit on the spot. Time skip, I am organising a DnD campaign and one of the people interested is the team lead. I was like "you know what I am adult enough not to hold it againist him" so I obviusly let him join.

    Well he turned out to be just as good of a player as a teamlead: he made sure to try to break any and every story element, split from group every turn. taking up half of the session time, and was genuinely a problem and bother to everyone in the group. So comes session 3 (including campaign hook)

    he smashes the head of an npc who was helping the party to the wall, the npc reveals themselves to be a high level mage and proceeds to obliterate him to the last molecule. Last time I saw or heard from him.
