oddly satisfying

There's some intangible satisfaction one gets when seeing an artfully stacked pile of perfectly cut logs or a well-trimmed hedge. Maybe seeing satisfying images of aesthetically pleasing perfection just sparks something in our brains like, "oh wow, in this chaotic world, maybe there can be something stable and consistent, even if it is a stack of carrots or good latte art." Whatever it is, there's just something nice about things fitting perfectly.

When this person subjected themselves to a nasty stench with hopes to "outstink" their problem neighbor who wouldn't stop feeding an army of pigeons, they earned a pro revenge. Temporary discomfort for an eventual win. Nicely done if we do say so ourselves. 

If you're looking for another solid pro revenge tale, we recommend checking out the time two spin class bullies threw shade and ended up losing their jobs in a tactical revenge.

This post office employee's co-worker selfishly and lazily lied his way out of multiple morning shifts, to such an extent that he ended up costing him hard-earned time off. So, post office employee decides to put in his two week notice, and he times his exit for right when lazy lying co-worker "Bill" had planned to take his honeymoon. 

Karma sucks, Bill. 

A recent AskReddit thread has people sharing the various revenges they took on their bullies. Some of them are of a physical lunchbox swinging nature, while others are nothing short of a masterful, strategic nuclear revenge-- yes, we're referencing the sick genius who got back at a nasty neighbor by planting mint, which has roots that run a long way. 

Sometimes you and a job just aren't meant to be. From that revelation it's up to you whether or not you want to quit the job in style. 

These spin class fitness bullies sound like a couple detestable jerks. The fact that they end up losing access to the studio, AND losing their jobs/side hustle is just the kind of righteous, successful revenge that we love to celebrate back here at Fail Blog. The original thread can be found here.

If you're looking for more sweet and satisfying revenge content, we recommend checking out the timelessly entertaining classic of a bully landlord getting it in the end after a tenant's nuclear revenge.  

This starts as an "Am I The Asshole" question about whether or not this guy's the jerk for wanting to give the name and phone number of his Tinder date that just stood up and bailed when it came up that they should split the bill. From there we see a collective, "absolutely not the jerk." I mean, whoever that was sounds like a real piece of entitled work. Good riddance. To make matters all the more satisfying, it sounds like he got his sweet karmic justice on the nightmarish Tinder date in the end. 

It seems like a lot of these exes reawakened old feelings when they "finally" got those apologies they were waiting for. Brings to question whether it's just best to leave things in the past, or if you can best move on by making amends with those that hurt you the most. 

A good old-fashioned poetic revenge tale right here folks. "Steve" the shady shift supervisor had this revenge coming his way, for sure! Sounds like he was rocking all kinds of red flags at the café. I mean, how exactly was he supporting a family for so many years on that kind of pay, without stealing? Sounds like many folks out there have had their experience working with someone like Steve in this scenario. You know, the longtime employee who makes their seemingly meaningless job aggressively important by getting on everyone's shit all the time. 

Who cares if this one's real or not. The entertainment value is there! And if it's in fact based on real events, we haven't seen this kind of awe-inspiring nuclear revenge story since the bully landlord got it in the end with another savage nuclear revenge.

These deeply satisfying feelings tickled people's souls. Sometimes we crack that one spot in our backs that's been troubling us all day, or you clean your ears out and have an eargasm; and it just might actually be better than sex. Maybe. You might relate to some of these. 

This oddly satisfying Tumblr post is centered on one badass story, inspired by a writing prompt about Death offering you the chance to play one game for your life. In this case, we follow the character's decision to play D&D against death. Queue the suspense and satisfying drama.
