When you have been wronged, do you ever seek revenge?
I don't. I feel the most empowered when I have some sense of forgiveness; even if it means I choose to not have contact with someone again. How about you?
Yes I do depending on who it is and what they have done. And it might not even be for me. It might be for a family member or a friend that I will seek revenge for.
I do have a strong sense of outrage when I have a loved one gets hurt, even more than for myself. I may not seek revenge, but I am not beyond confronting someone doing the wrong.
I have had the pleasure of shutting someone right down that thought they deserved another chance to be a jerk. It's call self preservation and I no longer feel guilty for wanting it and keeping it.
Love that GIF...really funny... so, I don't take revenge even though I am Very tempted in this case. A mechanic installed a so called rebuilt engine in my truck. It started falling apart immediately. I went to him and He refused to be responsible and I ended up getting another engine from someone else. $3,000 it cost me and he refused to be responsible... Said he couldn't deal with it because it was too stressful. So I had to put up another $3,000 (that I didn't have) dollars to get another engine. Sent him letters threatening to take him to small claims court Gave him a deal, even with monthly payments...He refused. You don't know how many times I have thought about putting nails under his tires...but haven't. whenever I see him and he looks my way I flip him off with the finger... Don't have time for the small claims court sure, with time I will be able to let this go and move on but right now can't pay taxes because of this in a hole and am pissed ok...I vented peace out...

One of the things I like to do to people like is bad mouth them. Go on Yelp and other sites that may be looking for a mechanic and tell them about that guy. A bad review can really hurt.
That is not revenge. There is nothing wrong with requiring someone to be accountable for their actions; and it is entirely appropriate to warn others of possible danger.
Absolutely! The more details you can give, the more credible the complaint. I really despise any contractor or service person that does this to a trusting customer. They really DO deserve a kick in the pants by mother Karma!
That is terrible Baba and I gotta tell you, he certainly deserves to pay for what he did to you. I do understand that sometimes we cut our losses and walk away. But don't be shy on turning him in to the BBB and writing a few detailed bad reviews. He will continue to do this to other customers and I do think we have some obligation to warn others.
I hope some how you do get financial resolution to this. I know things like this have happened to me in the past and it's very upsetting. Good luck.
Revenge, no; but some actions and thoughts should not be allowed to stand. Such incidents should be either challenged or prevented from further occurrence.
