Thanks for the A2A Tauseef Ahmad . I was in two minds whether to answer this or not. Then I decided, what the heck. :)

Let me first tell you in advance that I am not super proud of what I did and it's nothing to write home about. I nevertheless felt adventurous and here you go.

This was way back when I was in my late teens. I had just learnt to drive a car. My favourite pastime used to be driving around my colony.

I did that almost all the time. As it was my initial days of car driving, I did not have the guts to take the car for a spin on the main roads.

My friend happened to live just a couple of kilometres away from my place and I did not even have to take the main road to reach her place. So that was my next step.

My car (rather my dad’s) at that time was an humble Maruti Zen. There was this brand new Maroon Tata Sumo in my friend's colony

Sumo was just introduced in the market during those times. The guy who drove it was from an affluent family. He always stood with a gang of guys near the parking lot.

Everytime I passed by, they had this habit of ogling and passing some in audible comments. I simply ignored them and went on with my business.

It so happened that one day the only parking space available was next to the Sumo. So I had to park my car there.

As the place available was too narrow and I was a newbie to driving, it took a while for me to park at the given slot.

Seeing this, those boys started making wierd noises and passing some derrogative comments. The one which hurt me the most was. “ You are a woman, stay in the kitchen, leave your driving antics to us men”.

That's it, the feminist in me was badly bruised and I was red with anger. I managed to park and gave them a piercing stare but realised that it would not be safe to get into an heated argument as there were more than half a dozen boys.

Though I averted a confrontation, at that young age didn't have the wisdom to let go of what just happened. It kept playing on my mind repeatedly.

I wanted revenge.:) So on my way back from my friends place I noticed those boys were not there. I seized the opportunity. Took my car key out. Pressed it against the Sumo as tightly as I could.

I started at the front seat door, kept dragging the key till the end of the second door. It left behind a long solid scratch on the car. It looked something like this,

Repeated it again and once I was satisfied I quietly tiptoed to my car and drove away. I did not return to my friend's place for the next few weeks in the fear of being caught.

There you go, the nastiest thing I have done for revenge. I do not endorse my actions. It was done in the heat of the moment and was due to the lack of wisdom at that young age.

Cheers :)
