So, there's this guy I don't like and I'm envious of at my university. I'll just call him John. In the past he made out with one of my friends which I'll call sexual assualt in order to create justification for my anger. (she was visiting his apartment, and he kissed her, which must he MUST have made her do, as women don't kiss men willingly), talked to the same friend while I was walking with her in the hallway, and later had relationships with other people that aren't my business but I don't like because I'm bitter. Seriously, I hate the guy.
Fast forward to this week. John is now the president of an engineering organization at my university, and I was so concerned about other people’s business that I found out that his org was hosting a party for Halloween tomorrow, and that he was the one planning it. Karaoke, a costume contest, and lots and lots of alcohol. [obligatory false pretense of being reasonable] Cool, sounds fun, even if it is John's party. But then I noticed that he was charging a cover for entry.... and charging men 2x as much. Now, I help host parties every other month with friends in engineering orgs, and my group never charges for entry, and especially won't discriminate [obligatory virtue signaling] if someone's a man or woman. That's just trashy, especially with the engineering department being mostly men. So that detail pissed me off. Suddenly I saw an opportunity to [take out my envy and bitterness all while being a “good guy” against a guy that otherwise had done me no real harm, and also a chance to boast about it and satisfy my ego]. When hosting a party, if you wanna supply alcohol, cool. But it is illegal to charge people for alcohol without having a liquor license (and that includes cover fees). Further, my university has policies against student orgs hosting any kind of fundraisers involving alcohol, or which discriminate on sex. Bingo, I had an excuse to meddle in affairs for petty reasons and ruin a good thing for other people, rather than grow as an individual and improve. I asked a few of my friends for their opinions without being honest about why I really wanted to do so, and while misrepresenting why on if I should seek revenge justice, and all of them agreed that yes, fuck John. However, someone overheard the conversation and warned him. Today as I was going to my university's student organization office, I noticed the Facebook page had changed. The flyer no longer mentions the host organization, and most of the details about providing alcohol disappeared. But of course, this is /r/ProRevenge and not /r/AmateurRevenge so I had backup screenshots, so you know I can act like hot stuff. I showed the screenshots and also the current facebook event to the director, explained how the party would be breaking liquor laws and student org regulations, and also explained how they were trying to hide the evidence by changing the event posting. The director mildly responded somewhat and seemed to pretend to care, and said he'd investigate as he basically wanted to make sure his ass was covered. A few hours later, the facebook event was updated: CANCELED This event has been cancelled at the request of the office of student conduct. Please do not attend. Bam, ego gratification for me, and an instant false sense of superiority. Serves you right, John. All the money he'd invested in liquor and party supplies was for nothing. Since someone warned him, he might know it was me, and may even stumble across this post if he uses reddit a lot. But if he even thinks about retaliating against a snitch & a person without the balls to face someone in person that they have a disagreement with, my university has a very clear policy that they'll kick him out, which would be very bad for someone almost ready to graduate so I don’t have to face real consequences of my poor judgement and I like to think I can hide and be shielded from repurcussions, since I don’t have what it takes to handle it appropriately. I'm honestly not worried about it because I don’t realize at this point in my life I’m going to get my ass handed to me what but good, he hasn’t done anything in return yet, when in truth he might not even really care that much. [obligatory smug comment about person in question] Even if he wasn't smart enough to think about liquor laws, lol. TL;DR Guy I don’t like at my university l made up unsubstantiated & and unethical claims about, like that he hurt my friends. I found out that he was hosting a Halloween party, and snitched about something as petty as a cover fee, using it as an opportunity to take the coward’s way out and get petty revenge on him. I got petty about the law and used that to have someone talk to him and have them decide they probably should just shut it down the day before. [thumps chest]
