Two guys here at my office have played a GREAT joke on me and I need your help on obtaining some ideas for revenge....

Here's what went down...

This past weekend, my company had its annual Christmas get together. For a change of pace, we rented out a bowling alley and had food catered in. Honestly, it was a GREAT time and I think everyone enjoyed it.

While we were there, I broke one of the lanes. It was the 10th frame and I wasn't thinking and rolled a third ball when I didn't have a spare or strike. As I released the ball, the gate fell and it swept the lane. My ball crashed into the gate and actually rolled the entire length of the lane back to me. From there, it wouldn't sweep and thus, they turned off the lane.

So, this morning when I get back in to work (I was on the road Monday and Tuesday on business), there's an invoice sitting on my desk. The total is around $1625 and it spells out, line item by line item, the parts that were used to fix the lane and who to pay. This invoice looks VERY official and even has a watermark in the background of some bowling clip-art. As an additional touch, the two guys here in the office that put it all together had one of the owners write a post-it note that said 'See me when you get in..." and attached it to the invoice and left it on my chair.

I discovered this invoice last night when I got back in from my job site. Naturally, it was a swift kick in the butt when I saw the total and such and thus, I went home and told the wife about it. I was upset but, I knew the right thing to do was to pay the invoice as I did break it; not the company. So, this morning, I go downstairs to one of the owner's office and tell him that I'll pay for it and that I'm sorry. He busts out laughing and spills the beans on the other two guys who spearheaded the entire ordeal. Those two guys are in the field today and thus, they don't know I know.

So, I'm sitting here with a fake $1600+ invoice and know that they don't know I know that it's a joke.

Help me devise a revenge strategy. I need help QUICK as they will be back in the office around 4pm EST (6 hours from now).

HELP!

Superglue everything to their desks... I know its not that great I'll think on it for a while. I'm usually a very vengeful person but I must just be tired today.

 

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Do NOT, under any circumstances, allow them to know that you fell for their joke. In fact, do not even mention it. At some point one of them will be forced to ask you about it. Just casually say that it was paid and change the topic. The entire point of their prank was to ellicit a response from you so don't give them any at all.

 

Have sex with their wives!!!
Ahhhh ... sweet sweet revenge...

 

Wow that is a great joke...tough to top in such a short time.

I guess you could get the owner to help you to fake this...


Clear out your personal stuff and when the guys get there have the owner leave them a note asking them to see him because apparently their prank caused you to go off the deep end, you told off the owner that you weren't paying for anything and before he could explain the joke you grabbed your stuff and quit.

If they are friends they'll feel guilty. Granted you don't get them directly but it may be worth a try.

just a quick idea

Definately a good joke. I like your idea Vader but, I don't have time to do it today as I'm trying to crank out a very short fused report. I wish I could do that because that would be CLASSIC.

I'm thinking this:

I've told the owner to tell them that I didn't come down to talk to him. I'm going to hand-address an envelope to the bowling alley and stamp it. Inside, I'll put a blank piece of paper. We leave our out-going mail at the front desk of our office in very plain sight and hopefully, one of those two will see the envelope and think that I'm sending out a $1625 check.

I won't say a word to them about it and act kind of bummed out when they're back. If and when one of them asks about it, I'll just tell them I handled it and change the topic (as was mentioned by RJS).

Additions?

Maybe same basic idea but just act bummed out. When they bring it up tell them you went at lunch to the alley and gave the manager cash because you didn't want the wife to find out about it and she would have if you wrote a check. Then they'll think you just lost the cash to some dishonest alley manager.

When they tell you it was a joke...go balistic. Fake a call to the alley, act like the manager denied getting the cash and tell them they owe you the $1600.

 

Here's an idea that is quick and simple...oh, and funny as hell.

All you need is two rubber bands, four paper clips, two business cards and a butt-load of hole punched paper rejects.

Most desks have a pen/pencil tray right near the front of the drawer. Clear out all of the pens/highlighters/pencils etc from the tray area.

1. Take the two business cards and staple them together side by side longways (they'll need to overlap a little)

2. Punch a hole in each end of the business cards.

3. Open the paper clips 1/2 way

4. Attach a paper clip to each side of the double business card using the rubber bands

5. Stretch the rubber bands so that they can be attached to each side of the tray (you may have to work with this a little depending on the size of the tray).

6. FILL the tray with whole punched clippings.

You should now be able to twist the two business cards and build up so tension. Twist them as much or little as you want. When you let it go, it should spin like hell, and throw the whole punched pieces EVERYWHERE!

You will probably want to practice it a few times without the clippings in the drawer.

Just make sure that after you twist the cards and close the drawer, the cards do not let go while the drawer is closed.

The idea is for the cards to unravel and throw the clippings EVERYWHERE once a coworker opens the drawer.

Make sense? I did this numerous times at work and it makes one hell of a mess. Just make sure neither one of these two Bozo's have a heart condition. It's louder and scarier than you may think.

It's a blast to watch.

 

Done deal. That's it. I ran that by the owner and he thought it was a good way to go... everyone downstairs in the office is on board with this idea. All systems go.

I'm still going to wait for them to ask me why I'm bummed out... I'll tell them that I went down and paid cash to the guy...

Fill their cubes with styrofoam peanuts

 

You really need to play this as if you really are going to pay the bill. I would do what you said, as well as bring it up to them. Tell them about how this bill really sucks and you already put the check in the mail to them. Explain that you also have a meeting set up with the manager of the alley to discuss. Really lay it into them, make them think you already paid the bill and the Bowling Alley accepted payment. Let them know how bad it hurts.

 

Exactly!! Let 'em know that the family will have to do without Christmas gifts, house payment will be backed up, might even have to sell the KR....

Make 'em feel it!!!

 

Remove all of the bed bolts of anyone who drives a truck!



















haha jk. Did that one time back in college to someone I hated. Funniest thing ever.
I agree with the act like you paid it bit, sounds good.

 

Tell them you are going to fight the bill and have hired a lawyer. Tell them that they will need to go give a statement stating that what happened and that if they were your friends they would swear that it was not your fault. Also have the boss send out a memo to the two involved that because of the recent events and that fact that there joke has gone wrong that you have given a two week notice.

 

^ Good idea JDaddy
