Actively trying to destroy someone’s life feels great in the moment but eventually, they get over it and move on
she said: “I’m not ashamed; I’m rather proud of it. A dear friend did similar when she discovered her girlfriend was cheating and said: ‘While I was doing it, I thought of you.’ I recommend it as an act of revenge. It leaves you feeling empowered and gleeful.”
I understand where Shirley is coming from. While I’ve never gone quite so balls to the wall for revenge that I’ve defecated in a bowl of Shreddies, I too am a naturally bitter person who strives for revenge whenever possible. I hate feeling wronged, and I feel wronged often. I’m still very cross that a man on a bike nearly grazed me at a red light the other day.
I don’t know how much this bothered him because he blocked me on every single platform but it’s a pretty fair bet that the answer was: a lot.. I’ve signed them up for the Beanie Baby newsletter, told my friends about their penises in great detail, and at one point more than a decade ago, I sent an ex a completely fabricated copyright notice for a photo of me he was using on his. I made one boyfriend give me my extension cable back, despite the fact his bedroom only had one plug socket.
It’s not just exes either. I’ve spent hours dreaming of ways to get revenge on former bosses who were mean to me. Once, while temping, I sneezed in the coffee cup of a megalomaniac property magnate who called me “whatshername” for six weeks. My problem with revenge, however, is that it always leaves me feeling far worse than I did before. Shirley Manson said she felt empowered and gleeful after the cereal crap. But in my experience revenge leaves you feeling hollow, guilty, and embarrassed. It’s like getting really drunk and then eating a chocolate mousse with your fingers because you can’t find a spoon. It might feel good in the moment – great even.
