I agree completely. That's kinda the whole point... I would love to live in this beautiful new world where people treat each other with respect. Its never going to happen though because unfortunately we live in THIS world.

No, no they do not.

Restaurants absolutely do not factor in to their costs having dine and dash customers. What you did was ILLEGAL.

The best revenge is living well.

Nothing is more satisfying than watching a former bully being forced to eat sh*t with a spoon at his minimum wage job out of fear of being fired should you complain to his boss. It really is amazing how many of these former bully types fall into a depressing life as gas jockeys and other menial McJobs out of a lack of intelligence, education and/or any type of marketable skill.

what comes to mind also about the opening post person, is that they are not someone i would ever feel safe with as a friend or intimate partner. they are dangerous and not trustworthy and threatening and intimidating. i would not trust them if i always had to be worried whether they would seek revenge if we had a falling out. so i would steer clear of them altogether. so he wants people to be scared of him? the result is people see the level of danger and unstable mental state, and want nothing to do with him. they are lacking altogether a moral compass. yes childhood abuse is traumatizing, and he needs help. i would rather see him get professional help, than justify his further dangerous and harmful activities.

Well this thread is not about friends and intimate partners. Does everybody make choices in their life based on what would other people think about them? I'm pretty sure the OP didn't.

The thing about bullies though is that more often then not, the same behavior that makes them bullies is the same that ends up being their downfall later in life.

He was terrified and abused as a child, so his response has been to BECOME one of the abusers. I think that happens a lot, sadly and unfortunately.

which is why getting professional help is so important, to break the cycle of violence, otherwise the cycle continues, which is just what he is doing

I know someone like that. Very screwed up childhood.

Seemed a nice enough fellow when I met him but over time he became too needy. When he moved to another city I thought I'd be rid of him

But he returned and wanted to pick up where we'd left off. At which point I told him I was very busy and would see him when I could. He didn't like this and continued to pester me. He says he can no longer trust me. I basically say nothing outside of exchanging pleasantries.

Apparently tried to commit suicide years back.

The OP is playing a dangerous game. First, his claims that what he did is legal are questionable, as several other posters have written. Let us suppose that some mayhem had ensued from the pranks, which would mean law enforcement would become involved. They have a lot more tools and experience tracking people down than the admittedly ignorant tormenter of the OP.

Perhaps the chances of the OP being tracked down are fairly small, but I would not want to run that risk myself.
