Are you sometimes vindictive?

Yes ...Im not spiteful, I wouldnt hurt someone out of spite or just because I could.

But cross me, do anything to my dogs, come near any of my children or grandchildren and you will feel the heat of my breath on your neck like a serial killer with a razor...

When it comes to little thing of teaching someone a lesson there was the incident of the fishermen and the padlocked gate last week..

Years ago OH got a taste of his own medicine too.. He was getting far too flirty with a barmaid in our regular pub and I called him out on it. He said it was just fun , stop being paranoid etc etc...
So next time we went to the pub I wore a nice dress.. Fairly short and a simple round neck but no back... So no bra...High heels and I made sure my make up was perfect then I let him chat to the bar maid while I chatted to a group of guys we knew .. Totally innocent chatter about kids tv as it happened.. Andy pandy ..Just what did he and teddy get up to with loopy lou in that basket? this meant we all laughed like fools and had a jolly time.
OH got more and more upset and as we went home he confronted me and I calmly threw back every word and line he had used to defend his behaviour...
He soon saw the error of his ways...

keep in mind mine is never mean per se but more out of my own amusement as an innocent way of getting even. it's not really harming them. just annoying as hell. *chuckles*

Karma has her eye on you........ 

I am often very vindictive in my head, but then empathy spoils all the fun.

A bit spiteful, I might say about myself. But if I take away items from a kid who's disrespectful, it's also about giving a consequence that actually gets the attention of said kid and makes him consider a better way...

I've removed a bedroom door before after too much slamming of the door, or taken toys and books away - though rarely thrown them out or donated them, just removed for a day or two... Many days I'd like to do worse, but stop myself from empathy or knowing that it would be a bad example and backfire on me!

I loved the story from one older sister who came up with a great consequence after her older boys got hamsters without asking and hid them from her. When they went off to summer camp, she found them (and thank goodness the hamsters didn't go hungry with no one else to care for them). When they came back from camp, she asked them how long they'd been "in cahoots." Then she moved them into the same bedroom for that long. They were not impressed! She also wouldn't let them give the hamsters away now that their interest was pretty much gone; instead, she made them take care of them properly for the rest of their short lives. Pretty smart! She said she thought of the original Parent Trap movie and the line about the punishment fitting the crime. (I love that movie, too, so I was tickled pink she was inspired by it.)

Am I vindictive? Me...no...

I guess we should use "harmless revenge" instead of vindictive... I think mine was harmless revenge ;p

Hmmm, what does that say about the rest of us?

He was an assault on nearly all of my senses!

Sometimes you DO have to give someone a taste of their own medicine.

Exactly! And you don't have to be mean while doing it. As I said...I simply do it to be a brat and mirror what they're giving me and boy they don't like that! LMBO

I don't like people who are lazy to think. I am not disappointed at stupid people, I have paitence for them. I don't have patience for people who don't want to think for themselves or do anything for themselves, I depise people who take advantage of others.
