Auction participant gets annoyed at another bidder for blatantly breaking the rules just for fun, plays smarter and beats him at his own game: ‘Fine, I’ll just outplay you’

Do you know that feeling of satisfaction when you win after someone tries to sabotage you? Very specific, but we've all been there.

Oh, the thrill of being petty. Few things in life bring so much satisfaction as getting your payback after an attempted sabotage. Yes, we always try to be the "bigger person" and forgive when someone tries to mess with us. However, "trying" doesn't necessarily mean "succeeding." Plus, we can all agree that some people need a lesson in humility from time to time. 

Redditor u/Ruffffian recently came across a man in need of some humility, and he was happy to oblige him. They were at an auction, and this guy called Steve was having fun telling people that no matter what they bid on any piece, he would win it because he had three other people bidding for him. The Redditor was understandably upset, so during the silent auction, he found the piece he wanted and approached a woman bidding for this Steve guy. He snatched the paper from her with the winning bid amount and placed it by himself. Bam! Auction won. 

Some people are just greedy, we can't do anything about it. And many of them have enough money at their disposal to one-up anybody else. They don't need a reason to do it, they just find it fun. So it's very satisfying when someone can outplay them and teach them a lesson. You can get what you want in a decent manner, without walking all over other people. Until they learn that lesson, we just hope there's someone around who's willing to give them a taste of their own medicine.
