‘They did this to a colleague of my husband’s. Eventually the guy lost his temper and started saying things like he was keeping the bird in the garage and it stepped in battery acid so it had no feet, or that it had got caught in a fan and half its feathers were missing. Next thing the SPCA phoned and wanted to do an inspection. They would not believe him when he said the bird did not exist.’

‘Back when I was in school many decades ago, a friend borrowed 50p to buy some snacks or a house or whatever, then kept forgetting to pay me back. I eventually sent him an old style death threat like letter, complete with the letters cut out from newspapers glued on paper to make the message to pay me back… ‘or else’.

He eventually did, but that letter probably cost more than 50p in itself to make and send. I just thought it would be funny. Later found out could be considered a criminal offence.’

‘Not me but a friend of friend let themselves in to their ex’s where they were moving out, and sprayed milk around the wooden floor (kind of along the floor and skirting) in the knowledge of would ultimately stink and be so hard to figure out and fix.’

‘I was stood in the queue in a very busy Teesside Greggs just before closing. I overheard two older women behind me talking about the peach melbas and how there was only two. I then heard them say ‘there’s only two left, knowing our luck that fat bastard will buy them’.

I turned round and they nodded to the guy in front of me (he wasn’t even that big), but they kept referring his weight and how it was disgusting. Luckily for the auld hags he didn’t buy the last two peach melbas, but I did. I bloody hate them as well. I ended up walking an extra two miles to drop them off to my Granda. He didn’t like them either!’

‘In 2011, my great auntie Maureen, 67 at the time, and her best friend Doris – both without a tooth in their heads, used to go down the pub every day. One evening, after a few too many, in the taxi ride home – Auntie Maureen kept doing impressions of Doris (when she meets someone a bit posher, she puts on a hysterically funny telephone voice), much to her annoyance.

30 seconds later, Doris somehow grabbed the denture from Auntie Maureen’s mouth, and tossed it out the window, only for it to go down the curb drain. It’s safe to say the aftermath was also hysterical.’

‘I had a house mate at uni that would always pile up the sink with his plates and never wash them. I asked him politely for months to just leave his stuff on the side so others could actually use the sink.

Final straw I asked him politely and he rudely shouted ‘Later!’ at me from his bed (in the afternoon), so I got the washing up bowl including the dirty water and threw it on his bedroom floor.’

‘When I worked in Somerfield supermarket years ago, at night while locking up the shop, I used to have to have to leave the cash keys in a key cupboard for the person in the morning. The woman who opened was an old battle axe, when she come in the next day she couldn’t find them in the key cupboard somehow and caused a right stink about it slagging me off to who ever would listen. The keys were literally in the key cupboard.

So the next night I spent the last hour of my shift making up about 50 pieces of a4 paper with arrows and comments leading her from the front door directly to the keys so she couldn’t make the same mistake again. She was fucking furious!’

‘My friend found out her boyfriend had cheated on her. She went into his Netflix and skipped forward various amounts on the tv shows he was watching. There were other things she’s did too but this one stayed with me as very funny.’

‘My older sister is really uptight and mean and would never let me watch her Buffy The Vampire Box sets. I wasn’t even that big a fan but because I had taken one from her room once she threw a massive tantrum. Whenever she went out, she would lock her door to make sure I couldn’t get to them, this went on for years.

When she went to university, she made a big song and dance about my mum, not letting me in her room to steal the precious things. Me and my Mum would laugh about it because I didn’t give a shit about Buffy.

In her second year I was going travelling to Australia and Asia, etc. The day before I left, I let myself into her room and stole them, and took them with me. I spent nearly two years taking pictures of them by famous landmarks and sending them to my sister at Uni with ransom note.’
