A woman has revealed how she was able to get revenge on her school bully almost two decades on from a traumatising incident after discovering it was actually her cousin
Getting bullied at school is unfortunately an issue lots of children experience – and regardless of how bad it is, the memory can linger for years.
One woman has revealed how almost two decades after her own battle with bullying, she was finally able to get revenge.
Sharing on Reddit, she wrote: “The day before graduation my Junior year, I was in the cafeteria waiting for the bell to ring for the end of lunch […] as I was about to stand up, I was clobbered on the side of my head with an open Trix yogurt. Everyone was leaving and there was no indication as to who threw it. My friends helped me clean it off as much as possible and I stopped at the bathroom to try to wash it out.
“I got most of it out, but I had to hurry out to the football field for band practice […] So at noon, on the wide open football field, the rest of the yogurt baked into my hair, and I was scratching dried yogurt out of my hair until I could shower.”
The incident obviously had an impact on her, as 18 years later she revealed she couldn’t help but get revenge on the perpetrator after discovering who they were.
She went on: “I’m sitting at the table with my cousins at my aunt’s house. My younger cousin was talking about all the immature things he used to do in High School, including opening the Trix yogurts and tossing them over his shoulder. I said, ‘That was You!?!?!’
“I then proceeded to tell the story of my ordeal while he busted a gut laughing at my misfortune […] For the past 3 years, at every get-together, he calls me over to tell the new person the yogurt story. I’ve been planning for the past year to get my revenge, by taking a yogurt and smashing it on his head.
“Tonight, at the seafood boil my family threw, I got my revenge. While he was sitting at the table, cracking open crab legs, I took the yogurt, came up behind him, and enjoyed smashing it ALL over his head! I rubbed it in and it went all down the side of his head, into his beard, and onto his shirt. Then I leaned down and told him, ‘We’re even now’.”
While many people reading the post were delighted with the revenge, others felt she hadn’t gone far enough. One user added: “Not too bad, but punishment should fit the crime. 18 years of offenses are not balanced by one yogurt on the head. Get him drunk and shave his beard on one side and his eyebrow on the other side of his face.” And someone else replied: “Get a shirt made of him getting yogurted and wear it at every function.”
