The Retribution Black Tin of Death.......
Discussion
A very nice unassuming chap in my local was telling me at lunchtime that over Xmas he has to attend to a "certain matter" and wanted some ideas on some meaningful revenge! Intrigued, he continued to say that since he was at secondary school, he and his best friend there started a "Retribution Black Tin of Death" (Great name!) which were old Liquorice Allsort tins into which they have been placing scraps of paper over the years with details of people or things that have "stiffed" them for whatever reason. The tin rules are that the scraps show a date of the incident, and 10 years to the day, (or as close to as poss) a form of suitable retribution needs to be enacted on the perptrator.
This sounded an interesting idea and speaking to him, his previous revenges have been petty but definately illegal (weedkiller on the lawn of an old next door neighbour who was a pain when he lived in a rented house in the 1990s and complained to constantly parish council and landlord about petty things etc, advertsied an exc colleagues car for sale in local paper as he got him in trouble at work in 1995). Well it appears he has one coming up between Xmas and New Year, which is a local (ish) guy, who is a scummer, who he sold a load of car bits to (XR3i!) and never got paid 9a bit more comlex as said scummer took the car to strip off what he wanted, on the understanding of then destoying the shell, but he did not, and the ID ended up being used on a ringer that caused a load of grief for him).
So he is asking us for ideas for a suitable petty punishment.
So, interesting to hear peoples ideas, but also, what an interesting concept this tin is....!!
Any PH's have anything happen that they would have liked to have put in "their tin", if so, what and what revenge would you like to take!! ? The pettier the better!

I think that is the point! It's so long he's forgotten all about it, but he's got a diary note on his outlook about it (incriminating himself further!) tha popped up last week, he revisted the tin and saw the details and now needs to plot! The idea is it has to be quite petty but ideally appropriate to the "crime". s3fella said:
