I am shocked when someone who was horrible to me gets what they deserve. I'm used to people just skating through life with no consequences for their crappy behavior. When people do suffer consequences, it shocks me. Do you feel this way too?

I’m not shocked when people who have wronged me get what they deserved.

If anything, it reinforces my belief in a higher power.

When people are mean to me, it always looks like an act of justice in and of itself, so it's hard to think they deserve any ill consequences themselves.

I prefer people to learn something after they've been punished, so they don't reoffend

I have hoped for it in my current apartment but no such luck. In fact just the other day me and my boyfriend got up and planned to meet up with some people for a table top game we've been playing. But someone smashed one of the back windows in my boyfriends car so instead we had to deal with that loveliness.

We suspect it could be the teenager who lives in our aparment building who has been doing little things seemingly in retaliation for me and my boyfriend not bumming her cigarettes. I get the impression she's like 14 or 15...I mean I hate I started smoking cigarettes so I don't want to give a teen cigarettes....it would have been better if I did not start smoking so yeah I don't want to encourage it. But yeah since me and my boyfriend refused her cigarettes it seems she's been being intentionally nasty. Like for a bit she was blasting music on her phone whenever she went by our front door, and at one point even took me and my boyfriends full ash tray and dumped all the cigarette butts out in the yard..which I had the joy of picking up.

But yeah the last week she went 'missing' I suppose just staying around at some nearby friends house and me and my boyfriend are thinking while she was 'missing' she may have come back and smashed the window on his car. Problem is we'd have no way to prove it so we didn't call the cops or anything.

And maybe she did not do it, but just seems suspicious that she's been doing some passive aggressive things before towards us and somehow when she was missing from her home my boyfriends back side window got smashed. Certainly seems suspicious. But what are we to do with no proof...we just want to get out of this apartment and leave it behind...we had no idea it would be so sh*tty. I mean we simply refused to give a 14-15 year old cigarettes and asked kids to quit playing and smashing around right outside our back sliding glass door...just reasonable requests to have our space respected. And well its illegal to give underage kids cigarettes anyways....

I have to remember to let go and let god, to leave it to impartial karma, to not presume to know better than the universe.

Does she have her parents in the building? If you see them, you should say something. She's definitely being passive aggressive, there's no coincidence.

Now, I can't know for sure if she smashed his window or not, but there's no other suspect at the moment. I'd keep an eye on her anyway, she seems like a loose canon and her behavior needs to be shutdown asap.

Her parent knows we've had some issues. I had to mention to management that after we had repeatedly ask that kids don't play right outside our back door like on the patio next to the door, I mean we're reasonable we're not talking about if they are in the grass out back, just that they kept hanging around next to our door. Then the mom came down asking if I had an issue and I just said the kids kept hanging around out front our back patio and that was the issue. So whatever after that seems like the little kids were better about not hanging out right there. But not so much the teen she keeps smoking right in the back door of the building that leads to the back yard.

Which I was ignoring until I went out and noticed all the cigarettes from my ash-try dumped out in a portion of the yard. I knew it was ours because it was empty and I could recognize the scattered cigarette butts as the kind me and my boyfriend smoke and put in said ash try. And she had been blasting music outside my front door to the hall-way every time she came in the building. So I left a fairly polite angry note on the door of their apartment, asking the mom to tell the teenager to quit blasting music every time she goes by my door and to leave my ash tray alone...please. Maybe the teen got it first...IDK I am bad at social skills so yeah I didn't want to knock on the door.

Seems if anything the mom is indifferent to her teens behavior...so does not seem like it would do anything to say anything to her.

Even in court, some defendants get convicted and sentenced to jail or murder. Later it turns out that they were not guilty.

Some guilty defendants get acquitted

Some defendants get convicted of rape and get three months jail. Brock turner.

Some defendants get convicted of rape and twenty years in jail.


What someone "deserves" is subjective (fine)

But double standards

:jester:

I think we're mostly talking about people that actually are guilty of doing something with malicious intent, not wishing anything worse on them other than learning their lesson.

Let's just say I never seek revenge and even try to lessen someone's consequences at times. Maybe I just feel bad for certain people and others though should know better.

Yes because you actually feel sorry for them along with realizing that like everyone else, they prone to bad things happening to them too.

The greatest revenge is success.

Especially when the people who ignored you when you were homeless come around begging for a handout or a place to stay after you've become successful and self-supporting ... and you get to direct them to the nearest homeless shelter instead ... :twisted:

Yes, I'm a bad boy.
