One of the funniest ways to get back at someone who makes you mad is to simply inconvenience them. They ticked you off, and sometimes you just want to do it right back to them. Maybe you mailed an envelope of glitter to your ex or gave someone a decaf coffee instead of regular at the cafe where you work. Today's story involves a subtle yet hilarious revenge story between two sisters.

When a girl learns that her sister revealed sensitive and confidential information to friends, she knows exactly what will drive the sister crazy. She decides to sign up for about 50 different useless subscriptions using her sister's email to clog up her inbox. Knowing your sister will be mildly inconvenienced each day whenever she checks her email – quite the revenge tactic, and I respect it. It's harmless fun. When it comes to sibling rivalries, a conversation about behavior often doesn't lead to change, but petty revenge and pranks? That'll teach someone a lesson, for sure.

  • When someone confides in you with personal information, it's not cool to go around sharing it with others. And chances are, it will get back to the person, especially if you have mutual friends. Don't be someone who spills other people's secrets… You might just get spammed like the sister in our story.

    Be careful who you share your email with.

    This happened a few years ago, but one of the best petty revenges I've gotten.

    I have a younger sister who I'll call K. We are only 13-months apart. Despite our close ages, we are very different from one another. We joke that I am the Sun Child, she is the Moon Child

    Sun Child, she is the Moon Child (a way of saying we're as different as night & day) but despite this, we run in similar circles. I know her friends, her friends know me & we all would hang out from time to time.

    One day, my sister's friend invited her to a party where a lot of our mutuals would be. I wasn't close with the party host, so I wasn't invited. Totally fine, I didn't care.

    Anyways, after that party, one of our mutuals texts me. He tells me that 'K', in an effort to garner attention, told everyone at the party something personal that I confided in her. The friend who

    confided in her. The friend who notified me, was aware of this personal info prior to the party & realized how inappropriate the information was for her to be sharing.

    Some background info: My sister has always been the type to do what she could for attention. She was always the loudest, most dramatic or the most energetic in every group of friends she had.

    As an adult, she has even admitted to being an attention seeker & would often play up her reactions to things for the attention. This includes throwing

    Needless to say, I was very angry when my friend told me what personal information she shared at the party. Rather than confronting her for the thousandth time, which never got her behavior to change, I decided to be petty.

    I told her a year later what I did and she goes "THAT WAS YOU?" and after explaining why I did it, she apologized for having told people at the party & we made up. In the end, no one got hurt but she finally got to feel as frustrated as I was & I regret nothing →

    TheGodMother007 OP • 6d ago Email revenge came first this time because I had that conversation with her too many times to count, so she already knew how I felt. Might as well frustrate her as much as she frustrated me that time!
