r/Prorevenge They Robbed My Home, So I Electrocuted Them! ⚡💀⚡

r/Prorevenge OP owns a vacation home out in a tropical jungle, so he's often turns off power while he's not using the home. Copper thieves keep sneaking onto OP's property to steal his copper cables. OP eventually gets sick of it, so he installed a backup power system that will turn on in case the main power is cut. The thieves come back, turn off the main power, and then go to cut the copper cables thinking that the power is off... but the power is very much ON! The thieves electrocute themselves on the live wires!

The story might be nuclear revenge level. Maybe.

[@robot9749]

[@tylerclark1979]

The people saying the power story is murder. No. The guy installed a back up generator to not be inconvenienced by his lack of power, the generator simply did its job and when it detected a loss of power it fired up and gave 6-10 KV of power directly into the mains of the house. These idiots touched it and died.

[@supervegito2277]

Yeah, shouldnt even count as revenge, since it doesnt seem like that was the intention. Even if it was, its not murder either.

[@velvety2006]

basicly a risk of the job, if they had not tried to steal it they woulden't have been electrocuted.

[@qdllc]

It would depend on where they tapped in. At least with modern systems, backup generators don’t send power back to the grid…or they shouldn’t. So, would it be murder? Depends on where the thieves tapped in and whether it was supposed to be live when backup power was active. Especially if the backups were improperly wired to serve as a booby trap.

[@stevec3526]

Yes, your correct. There was no intention of murdereding anyone. It just ended up that way.

[@spiritbx1337]

The thieves could have also just checked to make sure the power was really off. I guess there isn't an OSHA for thieves though.

Honestly, with the first lunch thief story, I was half expecting the HR employee to be the thief. Most companies *do* have a strict policy about stealing (hostile work environment prevention), so her blowing the problem off was a bit of a red flag.

[@RemziCavdar]

Yeah, I worked for an IT company and there was a lunch thief, but the problem was the CEO was the fucking lunch thief. He made an announcement to the workers not to steal lunches, but right after that day he stole again. After a while everyone got tired of his hypocrisy and BS. Nobody would take him serious anymore and he lost all respect. Some good employees even left the company and he stopped stealing lunches, but that was too late and after a 2 years the company went bankrupt after I left a couple of months ago.

[@eddmario]

Yeah, I was also expecting the HR rep to be the thief. And the way the OP described the vending machine sandwiches I was expecting him to replace his lunch with one of those.

[@OMEGATECH]

They should be called company resources instead of Human Resources, and yeah there are a lot of HR departments who will blow you off until it starts happening to them, and if their company is big enough sometimes they have their own little private breakroom and then never get affected!!

[@alanbiker5838]

Human resources is the most useless department full of people who think they're smarter than everyone else. At least at the large healthcare organization I worked at. We had a female doctor touch a female secretary on the shoulder and asked her to be quieter on the phone. This secretary was in the doctors radiology reading room at the time, making calls. The secretary filed a sexual harassment complaint. Why? Because she was one of those entitled Karens. Two HR people came and gave the entire department a useless lesson in what we could and couldn't do, all the time wearing crap eating grins glued to their faces. We were laughing at them, as they proclaimed their rules of touch. The doctor, who was innocent of any wrongdoing BTW, didn't attend because the doctors weren't employed by the hospital. What a joke.

[@SailorMya]

@@alanbiker5838 Wait so the Karen complained to HR to get the doctor in trouble but HR doesn't have any power over the doctor so she just punished herself and others!? Guess she got what she deserved and punished everyone around her too! I hope her coworkers hated her after that for having to sit threw an avoidable meeting!

[@InquisitorClock]

@@SailorMya It's validation pageantry. The secretary wasn't being punished by the lesson, she was showing everyone that the institution was on her side, and that made her right. It's a weird social flex, but that's because these people play a completely different social game than the rest of us.

[@satricv]

Wife told me about a problem they had back in the 80's with lunches being stolen out of their break room. She worked at a Hospital in Houston TX as a floor Nurse, and the Residents would steal their lunches out of the Nurses break room, so the wife baked up some "Ex-Lax" Brownies, put the on a tray covered them up and put a sign on them that said "DO NOT EAT" and then went about her shift. Well don't you know, about 4 Residents came down with some very incapacitating sh*ts, so much so that they had to go to the ER... Well, lets just say, no more lunches ever got stolen off that floor ever again... And the moral of the story is...NEVER MESS WITH A NURSE.

Some states you can't do the spicy either. A while back, a co worker had his wife make him some extra spicy salsa with some ghost peppers that i gave him because someone kept stealing his salsa. Anyways one of the lot porter's ate the salsa got the burns from it and reported it. The funny thing was it was labeled too but didn't matter my coworker and I still got written up for intentionally poisoning another employee and he said we could legally be charged for it a well. I got a write up because there was 2 containers one had my name and the other had my coworkers name on it. We eventually got away with the write up because my coworker knew the owner personally, as far as the lot porter stealing salsa he stopped but he didnt learn his lesson he still would steal peoples food until he got caught stealing from the wrong person.

There was an awesome story from about 3 years ago on Reddit. The OP hated this guy who would take his lunches, the guy was king of OP's cubicle farm, so never faced consequences. He disliked OP for some reason (OP didn't know why this guy had such a hard on for him). OP had a plan. A nasty nuclear plan. He made "special" lunches just for this guy, loaded with as many chilli peppers and laxatives as possible. All with a note that said "Bio hazard" clearly placed on it. That idiot co-worker took three days to realise that OP had been the one to set his A-Hole on fire and cause him to miss a half day of work every day. The co-worker went to HR, he was not pleased with the results. Remember the bio hazard note? The HR department (who was in OP favour because this douchebag had received dozens of complaints, but was valuable to the company) decided that what OP did wasn't malicious, the co-worker was warned and shouldn't of been stealing other people's food anyway. OP got a job at a different company and was much happier without having to deal with that guy again. Edit: Removed a word.

I just asked why they were eating my fruit. It never went missing again.

Lunch thief: At my wife's work there was someone stealing lunches. She would thaw out frozen meals at home so would heat faster. about the three weeks of no lunches (my wife works 10 hour days long time with no food). So I got her a small thermal lunch bag she could keep her food close. BUT I got one of my wife frozen meals and thawed it out in the shed for 3 days of hot summer days. so she that one in freg at work. and had hers with her. one person from an earlier shift (the 2 shifts overlap by 4 hours) put it in the microwave and stank up the lunchroom. everyone now knows the thief.

I personally didn't have this problem but there was a lunchroom bandit. After hearing about it for weeks (I always went to fast food), I decided to do something about it. You see, I can eat real hot food like roasted habaneros. I went to the local "best wings in the area" place and ordered a full bucket of super atomic wings and explained the bandit to the waitress, she told the cook and the cook added a lot more atomic sauce to my bucket. When I put my UNOPENED bucket in the fridge, I decided to take last lunch to give the bandit time. It didn't smell hot but once you tasted it, you found out. I got my bucket from the fridge and noticed it was already opened, I smiled. I sat down and had my first day's lunch (lasted all week). While cleaning up, I noticed 1 wing in the trash with 1 bite taken out and saw the bite as well. The bandit stopped without us knowing who it was.

Well, this national guard unit comes in to replace us and they were doing their on the job training, learning the sectors and the procedures and everything and my husband was in charge of that. They had this old janky fridge in the TOC and he would put a couple of bottles of lemonade in the freezer for later. They then started to disappear, so he told everyone, I’m going to piss in some of the bottles and you won’t know which one, so go ahead and take your chances. They didn’t believe him…. So they drank his piss. Then they had the gall to get upset about it. He warned them, you don’t fuck around with the snacks…lol

I have a lunch thief story as well. This one hails from the third grade in the 1980s. I had a Muppet Babies lunch box that I loved. It was common practice that if you brought your own lunch from home, you kept your lunch box under your desk until it was time to go and eat. During the day, we used to break into different classrooms. There were about three different classrooms in our grade with different teachers and you would go to whatever assigned teacher for math language arts etc. Having my lunch under my desk meant that it was there when somebody else was using my desk from another classroom. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, one day I went to the lunchroom opened up my lunch only to find most of it gone! The Ziploc bag with my sandwich still had the residue of the peanut butter and jelly that had once been its occupant. The Cheeto bag still had some of the remaining dust and crumbs. Me being the 8-year-old little girl that I was was devastated and started crying. The principal came up and asked me what was wrong and I showed him what had happened. He bought me the school lunch so I wouldn't be hungry. The next time I took a lunch from home, the same thing happened. Someone was violating the sanctity of my Muppet Babies lunch box and I was not happy about it! The teacher had no idea who it was, and didn't seem that interested in finding out either. This left to the resolution of this issue up to me and my devious mother. We hatched a plan. Looking at the lunch menu, we saw that there was a taco Tuesday coming up. Naturally I wanted to eat school lunch that day, because well, tacos. Nevertheless, my mother made me a home lunch but laced everything with cayenne pepper. She had cleared it with my homeroom teacher before doing this. She was fine with us trying to root out the lunch thief. Well, it didn't take too long to figure out who it was. I opened up my lunch box to see if our trap had sprung. Sure enough, there was one bite taken out of the sandwich and a few Cheetos gone. Otherwise, it was untouched! There was a boy who had been asking to go to the drinking fountain and awful lot that class period. It turns out it was this kid who sat in my desk doing one of the exchange classes. He got in trouble for it and he never did it again. The really unfortunate thing about this whole event is that we found out several years later, that the reason he was stealing my lunch was because his mother was abusive and, among the other horrible things she did to him, she wouldn't feed him either. This poor kid would come to school starving and would be tortured by sitting at my desk with my lunch sitting inches away from him. There was so many red flags with his situation, but they were all ignored by our school. I think he was in his early teens before child services got involved. So, if you ever read this Andy, know that I am so sorry, you can have my lunch anytime.

[@luanadurrewalddacosta5824]

I found the guy from the first "Lunch thief" story too patient. Strong laxatives is always the answer to me. I take lunch very seriously. My father had a similar story about a lunch thief in kindergarten or whatever. He usually brought sandwiches with extra, delicious fillings that got stolen pretty often. At least until he stopped by the carpentry shop, ate the fillings of his daily sandwitch and stuffed the thing with sawdust. The thief was not happy that day.

That copper theft issue is an extremely common one even outside of 3rd world countries. Two years ago a school just outside of one of the largest cities in the USA had people pull up to their football field over a weekend and steal every piece of copper they could out of the place. What was crazy was that the school was supposed to play against another school at home so they had to reschedule, they planned to have that game at the other school and before that game the same people went to that school and stole all their light. The people doing this had a bucket truck with labels on it. So when people seen then all they seen was people that appear to be from an electric company pull up to a site, put out cones and start working. They had no idea the people were stealing stuff. This group was stealing from all over the place, over 50,000 feet of copper. This is so common in some areas in the USA that I had heard of one area that had to replace the same 1 mile of power lines 5 times in a year. Some Telephone / ISP companies will mark fiber optic cables with "THIS IS NOT COPPER, FIBER OPTIC (GLASS) CABLE ONLY" to avoid having their cables cut.

By US law he could have been prosecuted if it can be proven his intention was to kill them, but there's no law about leaving live power on in a house that is left dormant and without being able to prove intent to kill somebody it'd be ruled death by misadventure as they were taking a voluntary risk of cutting potentially live cables in a criminal act and thus nobody is at fault except the thieves themselves. (Even with intent it'd be manslaughter at most not murder as he didn't cause them to be killed he simply set up a scenario in which death could occur.)

Stolen lunch story reminds me of when it happened to my dad. This happened years before I was born. Where he worked had a problem with lunches being stolen. At first, nothing was done. Then, the boss’s lunch got stolen. So the boss swore to fire the thief. This kept going on and on though, as no one came forward. Who would want to? Well one day, my dad was the victim. He had in his lunch some leftover fried chicken, a pepsi, and chips. His then-wife (not my mom; first marriage) wrote my dad’s name VERY clearly on the bag. My dad found his lunch missing, and quickly located the thief. He was out in the open, with my dad’s lunch! My dad confronted the thief loudly, and like an idiot, the thief denied having stolen it. My dad said what exactly was in the lunch, and the thief was caught and fired. Unfortunately, the thief had already eaten the chicken, and all that was left were the chips. My dad was going to eat just that, but the boss gave him some money to buy a sandwich from down the street, along with a longer lunch break. Lesson learned: don’t steal lunches!

Arsehole wasn't fired (boss's nephew) but was forced to pay for the prescription refill and to publicly apologize. He was also told that he had to wait to eat his own lunch until at least 1 hour after everyone else to, in his uncle's words, "avoid temptation".

I had my own problem with a food thief at work. Not sure if pro-revenge, or if he was a kevin. At work, over numerous lunches my coworkers and I eventually found out who was allergic to what and that I had a high heat/spice tolerance by a very large margin in comparison to the others. I also enjoyed cooking, usually noodles with different spices. I got many compliments on how my food smelled, which made me proud of my cooking. Well one day, my food went missing. I had no idea who it could be because I worked on the other side of the building as the lunch room, it was going to be tough for me to find out who it was. Of course I tried to find out who by checking routinely, and after the 4th time of the food being gone, went to HR. This was probably the moment I realized HR defends the company, not the workers. They just brushed me off saying they couldn't do anything about it. Well, I looked back to many revenge stories involving food thieves and decided to try something classic: making my noodles really spicy. Pickled habanero isn't the absolute hottest, but it was where my coworkers drew the line for heat, so it was perfect. Habanero noodles in the office fridge, kept the fork to myself just in case, and off I went to work. Just before lunch time, HR calls me into their office, with a coworker I will call Kevin (for obvious reasons) and my bowl of noodles on the desk. The HR rep began grilling me about poisoning coworkers was absolutely wrong but I cut her off, telling her that Kevin wasn't allowed to eat my food in the first place and I've been complaining that there was a food thief all week. I thought that would turn the tables, but HR kept at me, saying this was clearly made to hurt someone and that even I couldn't eat it. So I picked up the noodles and chowed down, having no problem with the spices. Again my feeling of vindication was cut very short with Ms. HR glaring at me and saying "THIS HAS BETTER NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! DO NOT POISON COWORKERS! NOW GET BACK TO WORK!" I think my face froze with a mix of surprise and confusion. The food thief was right there, he was caught red handed! How on earth is he getting away with this?? So I thought to myself "dang right this wont happen again..." and thought back to when everyone was discussing their allergies. Kevin had one major allergy: peanuts. This was perfect because I have a guilty pleasure for an age-old classic. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich! I love them absolutely filled with both the BD and J! The next work day I made myself a monster PB&J, packed with extra napkins because I was not going to be able to eat this one without making a major mess, but that's just half the fun for me! It was the only thing I brought for lunch, I'd just get more coffee when I needed it. I put it in the workplace fridge and left to start my work thinking no way he would touch that thing. I had a smile on all day, until I saw flashing red and blue lights outside the office windows. Everyone got up to see the commotion, me included. It was an ambulance, two guys and a stretcher were running out of the building to the vehicle, WITH KEVIN IN THE STRETCHER! I couldn't believe it, I just could not fathom that he actually ate my sandwich! I rushed over to the fridge, my lunch was gone. One quick look around and I found my half-eaten PB&J on a nearby table! I'm not sure how long I stared at the sandwich in disbelief but it was enough for Ms. HR to find me and yell "DO WE NEED TO CALL THE POLICE?! WHAT DID I TELL YOU YESTERDAY?" I was fed up and yelled back "ABSOLUTELY CALL THEM! PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU PLAN TO JUSTIFY PINNING A GLUTTONOUS FOOD THIEF ON ME AFTER HE WILLINGLY ATE SOMETHING HE WAS DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO! GO FOR IT! I HAVE ALL THE EMAILS I SENT YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT A FOOD THIEF TOO!" Ms. HR kept her red face and just stomped away. In the end Kevin lived and still wasn't punished when he came back so I just refused to bring in lunches anymore until I left the company. It was corrupt in other ways, got a few more horror stories from that place.
