I got revenge on a school bully by pretending to not know him
This happened about a year ago but I watched some smosh reddit stories and remembered this and decided to share. So for context I went to a catholic school with a friend who is a trans man (I'll call him Dave), we were really close friends and I'm really proud of him. He was going through alot of other crap that I wont get into here but just know that he had a rough time, but he was still a great friend and is doing great now in a university for art. At the time Dave was openenly trans and went by he/him pronouns and a new name, unfortunately everyone knew him before his transisiton and his old name so some people gave him shit for it. There was this guy (I'll call him Brad) who used to bully him alot and be transphobic, Brad never bullied me that much but he was really awful to my trans friend by misgendering him and just generally saying really awful things.
So imagine my surprise when me and my family went to Greggs (A bakery in the UK) and Brad was there behind the counter, I'm not usually a petty person but when he striked up a conversation with me I decided that I wasn't gonna be polite and give this asshole any kind energy and instead just pretended not to know him. He said "oh hey OP, you alright?" and I just say "Sorry do I know you?" Brad tries to explain that he knows me from school but I just give him a weird look and say "sorry I have no idea who you are". My parents and my sister are right there just watching me do this turning away to hold back laughter (I guess they caught on I was doing this on purpose) the last thing he says before I leave with my muffin is "Ah oof awkward haha" Afterwards my family asked who that was and I explained who he was and what he did and they laughing their asses off.
Honestly I think thats the only revenge I've ever done but man it felt good to humiliate that cunt. What is it with bullies thinking they can just talk to you like they weren't complete assholes to you? Like I get people can change but what makes them think I even wanna talk to them when all I remember about them is them being a complete asshole.
