I have always kind of rooted for the underdog, that said here is another-----
At work several employees always picked on Paul, almost unmerciful, but Jeff was the worst. He, his wife and friends even toilet papered Paul's house and did other somewhat mean spirited things.
One day I just happened to encounter two ladies carrying a pygmy goat into a business so I inquired about it. They were Jr. Chamber of Commerce members and were having a money raising project-----that of sending Goat A Grams.
A sender would pay and a goat would be delivered for the recipient to tend for one hour OR they could pay to send it on to someone else.
As the event day was on Jeff's day off I immediately signed up to send him a goat with the message, "Paybacks are hell!".
I later arranged with our supervisor to allow me to bring in cake to work for all employees. He would call Jeff over and present it to him not telling where it came from. I picked them up from the bakery early the next morning and delivered them before other employees arrived.
When Jeff and everyone was called to gather and Jeff saw the cake with the words "Paybacks are hell!" he had to tell the story to all. Well after his very red face regained color.
He started his story off with, "Yesterday Paul got me back good." To that Paul replied, "What are you talking about, I didn't do anything." and of course he hadn't which could plainly be seen.
Upon arrival of the goat hot under the collar Jeff sent it on to his wife at her work as she worked for the president of the JAYCEES and he was sure it had come from her. She, hot under the collar, returned the favor and sent it back to him. After a few phone calls they discovered neither were initially involved.
To this day both Paul and Jeff suspect that I sent the cake and goat but are unsure. The end result was that Jeff quit picking on Paul so it was money well spent.
So, before you do something to someone remember-- paybacks are hell.
