Revenge for adults?

[Alter]

Somebody done gone and done me wrong. How do I, as an adult, get revenge? When I was younger I might have punched him a few times, or at the least told him to **** off. Now, as a middle-aged-man, what to do?

Slip exlax in his coffee when he's not looking? Or does he have a wife/daughter you can bang and let him know about? Or hire an escort to come on to him and videotape him in the act and send it to his wife?

Can't. That's what he did to me. Then, he used information I gave him, because I trusted him at the time, to open up his own company and steal one of my clients.

Now, I found out that his plan failed, he got canned by the client, and the client contact person got fired. In other words, I came out the winner. So...now, I want revenge.

I realize that the actual correct answer is lawsuit...but it just lacks poetry and beauty.

EL72 and VMan: good suggestions (had to use Urban Dictionary for the 2nd time today,for the "Upper Decker" ) http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...m=Upper+Decker but I don't think I would get the opportunity.

here's the thing - you have a good stiff drink, you think about what you would have liked to do to him, you forget it and get on with your life.

not worth it. get on with your life.

I think $1000 USD to some low level starving Yakuza could probably buy you some pretty wicked revenge.

I hear ya Globe and yea...actually, that's exactly what I did. The actual wrong-doing happened more than 6 months ago. I've already moved on and I don't really feel so bad about it now. I just like having closure...some way to leave him without any doubt that he is, as far as I'm concerned, an asshole. I ran into him a couple weeks ago, he came over with a big smile and greeting. I shook his hand in return, exchanged a few pleasantries and then returned to the conversation I was having with some other people. It was fine, really...but I just seemed so boring and adult. So, that's it...we either sue people or turn the other cheek?

Ya know, I really should rephrase the question. It's true that I do not really need revenge. What I really am asking is...what is an elegant way to leave someone with a "and don't try and **** with me again" feeling?

I'd go with snide, glib, and public. Something to the effect of 'well some of us learned the hard way what happens when they **** with me' with a tone of vague humor and sarcasm. Ideally everyone else around laughs it off as jokey cockiness and the person for whom it is intended gets slightly burning ears and wonders if anyone else spots the pointedness of it. Asia is all about Face, and he'll be stuck standing there wondering if he lost any...

Business has been taken care of. Now it's just personal. Let it go (but a embarassing practical joke won't hurt).
