VENGEFUL
PEOPLE

The Pizza Shop owners were sympathetic to the guy's problem, but they felt compelled to take him to court anyway. And won an injunction against the man's answering machine.

You see the poor gent was getting phone calls at 4 a.m., asking for pizza. Obviously the calls were meant for the pizza shop, but the court felt that the inconvenience didn't justify the man recording a message on his answering machine that said, "This is Papa Don's Pizza Shop. We're Sorry, but we've been closed down by the Health Department..."


A barber in Lakeland, Fla. bit off a patron's thumb when he backed out of a five dollar haircut. (And no, his name wasn't Mike Tyson!) Excerpted from the San Jose Mercury News, Nov 15, 1996...

The British Military writes OFRs (officer fitness reports). The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from people's "206s"....

  • His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
  • I would not breed from this officer.
  • This officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
  • When she opens her mouth, it seems that it is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
  • He would be out of his depth in a car-park puddle.
  • Technically sound, but socially impossible.
  • This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope -- always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
  • This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
  • When he joined my ship, this officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
  • This medical officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
  • Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
  • She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
  • He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
  • This Officer should go far -- and the sooner he starts, the better.
  • In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.
  • This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
  • The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.
  • Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.

Samuel Baldwin was buried at sea in 1736 at the deceased's own request in order to frustrate his wife - in frequent squabbles she declared her intention to dance on his grave. This one may very well be considered urban legend, but I think it's great...

The wedding ceremony itself went much the same as any other, and the 300 guests followed the couple to what promised to be a lavish reception.

The groom began his customary speech by thanking all the guests for attending - after all, some had travelled considerable distances. He thanked the guests for the gifts they had brought, saying that he wanted to return the favour by presenting everyone with a small gift. He instructed the guests to reach under their seats where they would each find a small manila envelope.

Nobody had been expecting the gesture, not even the bride, so there was a moment of amused surprise.

The mood began to change, however, as the guests opened their envelopes and inspected the contents - explicit 8x10 glossy photographs of the blushing bride having wild sex with the best man.

The groom allowed the significance of the moment to sink in, keeping his silence for several minutes. He then turned to his best man, and said "F**k you". He turned to his new wife, and said "F**k you". Finally he turned to the roomful of guests and relatives, said "I'm outta here," and left the building.

The next day he had the marraige annuled.

The groom had discovered the affair between his fiance and his best friend and hired a private detective to provide some concrete evidence. But, rather than cancel the wedding, he decided to proceed with it and in the end managed to:

  1. make the bride's parents pay for a 300 guest wedding
  2. make sure that everyone knew exactly what had happened and that he had found out about it, and
  3. publicly ruined both the bride's and the best man's reputations in front of their families and closest friends.
