Normally I’m not a vengeful person and I tend not to hold grudges. My case of revenge wasn’t really very serious however it was funny. I know this is going to make me look like an fool so I hope you all find this funny!

Several years ago my in laws invited us for dinner and my husband told them we would bring dessert. I decided to make brownies with buttercream frosting.

It was a Sunday and I had made a nice breakfast, bacon, eggs and pancakes. My husband offered to do the dishes since I went to such an effort with the meal. I was very happy about this because my husband rarely helped around the house.

I went into the kitchen in the afternoon to make the brownies and realized the dishes hadn’t been done. I was super pissed off because husband said he’d do them. So, I thought screw it I’ll make the brownies and do all the dishes when I’m done baking.

I was angry so I was slamming stuff around the kitchen. Husband came in and asked what my problem was. I was more than happy to tell him. We ended up screaming at each other like lunatics and because I wasn’t paying attention the brownies ended up burning.

Now I was angry with myself as well because I’d have to make another pan of brownies. I pull out a clean mixing bowl and dump in a package of brownie mix. My husband decides now is the time to do the dishes. I tell him he’s going to have to wait until I’m done because there wasn’t enough counter space. We start arguing again. I end up saying “fuck it” I’m not making the brownies. I put the mixing bowl full of brownie mix into the sink. Husband starts screaming at me because I’m being wasteful. We were still arguing and he walked away when I was in mid sentence.

He stomped up the stairs and I heard him turn on the shower. I was fuming mad. I thought to my self “you fucker, try showering with no water pressure!” I proceeded to turn on both the hot and cold taps in the kitchen sink and went up to laugh at him.

I walked in the bathroom and he laughed at me because he knew what I had done so I flushed the toilet. There was a drizzle of water coming out of the shower which I thought was hilarious.

He got out of the shower and he was yelling at me. I went downstairs to clean up the kitchen with him following behind me. When we walked into the kitchen the sink was overflowing with water and brownie mix. It was all over the floor.

I was standing there with my mouth hanging open and I burst out laughing. I mean really what else was I going to do at this point? Husband was also laughing as he told when he was going to to the dishes he put the plug in the sink which I obviously didn’t know about.

Yep, I acted like a total nutter and look at where it got me! Yes is was funny but it was a pain in the ass to clean up the mess I created with my childishness. I got my “just desserts” lol.
