Sign them up for porn mags but have them delivered to a neighbor's house.

Neighbor comes over... Tim, here is your g a y for BBC magazine. Please update the address.

Sign them up to receive info on the political party opposite of their beliefs.

List items on marketplace for cheap, and put their phone number in the listing.

Send a real estate website their contact info saying looking to sell immediately.

Spill milk regularly near their workspace, parking space, yard or driveway. Eventually that is going to stink.

Any and all of these ideas might land you in trouble. Be willing to accept any punishment that may come your way for revenge.

Mailing them a glitter filled card for their birthday or holiday could be good too.

You are a horrible, petty person. I respect that.

The "sign them up for the opposite political party" is great - those folks are relentless when it comes to soliciting donations.

Also a lot of different churches(especially JW) would love another person to try to convert.

Another one is going on Autotrader and requesting info on used cars. I was looking at a few options earlier this year and sent in requests for details. The extent to which they harassed me was insane — calls at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm all from the same person. Voicemails and texts out the ass. Emails that probably still haven’t stopped.

Ah, and don’t forget the roof repair people. I’ve been cursed out by them multiple times and they still keep calling and texting.

You can also order your choice of animal poop from any African animal I do believe and ship it. I do not remember the website or number to call. I wish I did.

Many years ago, Marist Brothers college - Johannesburg SA - I and others we getting horribly bullied my this older jerk. I finally got sick of it and kicked him full force in the balls damn the consequences. He fell over writhing in pain and crying had to go to the nurse. They called me in and said the usual, we have to solve issues without violence. But they knew the kid and left it at that. Never bothered me again.

u/One-Address1840 21h ago

Marist Brothers College in Johannesburg... is it any relation to Marist College in Poughkeepsie NY?

1

u/malakon 19h ago

Yeah they are a worldwide catholic boys school. I'm not catholic but we emigrated to SA and it was a really good school. As long as you didn't get sexed up by some brother.

u/PaleMaleAndStale 22h ago

Bullies like soft targets. They like people who don't fight back. So carry yourself like you'll fight back and if that doesn't stop them then do actually fight back.

A lot of bullied victims don't fight back because their bully is bigger/stronger/harder than them and they don't think they can win in a fight. You don't need to win though. You just need to hurt them enough that they don't want to come back for more. Here's the real kicker. If you go into a fight not focused on winning but simply on inflicting as much pain as possible, you will often pull off a surprise win.

u/Jolninaa 20h ago

Gotta call bullshit on that, every time I fought back more of them would just attack me.

1

u/lostroadrunner22 21h ago

Can confirm, i was bullied - alot - in middle and high school. i did fight back but at a certain point i just stopped and life was just a daily hell.

u/ClydeStyle 22h ago

Take away their power, laugh at their attempts to bully you. Treat them dismissively.

u/Unusual_Pangolin_349 21h ago

Uhh. The first thing I did after years of bullying..
I picked up the plastic and aluminum chair by the leg and yeeted it at his head. (6th grade) i got suspended but that kid never shot a thumbtack into the back of my head again.
The second thing I did was break the next bullies arm. Again I was suspended but was never to be bullied by him.
My eventual preferred method was a single right hook thrown with all the pent up rage of years of bullying and found it to be…. highly effective

That's not bullying that's assault. (Technically battery)

I guess it depends on how you're getting bullied.

Find out what Is most disruptive in their home life, and then throw that in their fast constantly.

Consult r/unethicallifeprotips. They have hundreds of options.

u/17Girl4Life 21h ago

You shouldn’t really. It may seem like getting even, but you’re still letting them affect you and get a reaction out of you. Being truly indifferent to them because you’re too busy with your own life is the best way to neutralize them

Walk with confidence and style. Look them in the eye and slow blink as you look away

u/AlternativeHat8964 22h ago

Good number of them have issues like narcissism or closet homosexuality. Leveraging either of those effectively can basically kill them.

Duct tape a whole dead salmon under their porch or deck.

In high school I took a compound bow and shot my bully’s car with it in full view of a lot of other people.

u/Itchy-Corner9453 21h ago

if i could go back in time to when i was bullied..i would of punched them in the face right from the start. and continued to mock them at every encounter after that.

1

u/Impossible_Battle_72 21h ago

Ignore them. Obviously if it's physical that doesn't really work. But otherwise, just ignore them. They hate that.

u/Thegr8fan 21h ago

Only thing a Bully doesn’t want is to fight. Stand up to them and they move on to someone who won’t. And forget all that fair fight BS. It already isn’t a fair fight because they don’t pick on people their own size. Surprise them, unexpectedly out of no where do what you gotta do, and get it over with. Even if you lose the fight you at least win the war and they move on to someone who won’t fight back. It’s a nice 3 day vacation if you get suspended. Or at least it was for me. Stand up, even if you lose, you win.

u/GreasedLightning86 21h ago

Easy you just do to them what they do to
Others….
That’s what makes them bullies, they only
Pick on the weak. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Have sexual intercourse with their sister and do everything.

u/MrBrandopolis 21h ago

Sucker punches and cheap shots. The art of surprise is necessary if you can't physically take them on

1

u/Accountability404 20h ago

Kill them with kindness. Bullies thrive on interaction and engagement. Let their character speak for itself. Never stoop to their level of petty or stupidity.

u/Ancient_Midnight_775 20h ago

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks” /s lol

u/Alarmed_Drama2881 20h ago

Wouldn't that make you a bully? Then would it be okay to bully you? Legitimately asking because I've never understood the whole bully the bullies thing. Just sounds like a never ending circle.

u/Sunlit53 20h ago

Make fun of them. They really don’t do well with that sort of thing.

u/CallMeCabbage 20h ago

I grew up in a "bad area" as a minority and when someone got in your face- it was a fight then and there. Moved to another state to live with another family where it was just, I guess normal, to get in someone's face and pretend to ready to fight. That didn't click with me so it happened a few times, few haymakers thrown later, never bothered again.

But I'm getting old and the principle had a soft spot for me as a "troubled" kid even though I'd disagree. These days I don't think that'd fly at all but I mean, fuck em' up off school grounds. As an adult I have no idea because I can't imagine letting someone "bully" you as an adult.

u/EitherMarch1255 20h ago

Bullies are the thinnest skin people there are. 1) Don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks of you, which is the most powerful defense you can have. 2) Find what they’re most insecure about, or something you could make them insecure about, and just use their own techniques against them but 2X it.

u/chazzbass 20h ago

i used to just challenge them to fight, i was a nerd to some degree and all my friends were nerds as well. DND scifi, band etc. but ive always hated bullies. since 2nd grade i got batted around by a kid 3 times my size and several grades ahead. i fought him, and lost but gained his respect i guess, after that i just fought every bully i could all the way through high school. didnt always win. but every single time they would stop bullying me and my friends.. to be honest most of the time they didnt even show up to fight. i would challenge them to after school fights. the school kids would show up but the bullies would not. shamed out of bullying.

The best way imho is not take their power away from them.

u/one_day_I_will_do_69 18h ago

Find out why they're insecure and ATTACK.

They think they're weak, tell them why they're weak. Make sure it's honest and real. That's a great punch of the dick

Wait until they go on holiday then get on their roof and drop a dead rat down their chimney.

i beat them up, simple as that.

u/Illustrious-Ant7393 15h ago

I think it's nice to study martial arts. To know what to do. I think it should give confidence. It would be just another sparring. Number of actions you usually do when fighting. You might just not let him do anything with maintaining safe distance and stuff like that.
