Yes. But it's kinda of sweet revenge. A neighbor of mine. She used to be very loud, love to argue with our neighborhood peoples over a small things. She was famous of being bad attitude neighbor in our community. She never show up on funeral or when our neighbor got sick and was hospitalized. It's a common practice in our neighborhood that we care toward each other, but not her. One day, my son was return home from school and he forgot the key. And I was still at the office. The rain was pouring down like crazy. She saw my son all wet and was waiting in front of our house. Her house just in front of ours, and she was stay home wife, with no kids. It's pretty quiet that afternoon in the neighborhood because everybody hasn't home from work and some families around with small kids are inside their houses, so that they may not see my son. My son was knocking her door just to ask her if may be he can wait there for a while but she didn't want to open door. But it's okay then, because I went home earlier that day.

Several years later, our place was hit by storms and was raining for many days. I just bought something at the grocery store nearby. It was heavy rain and I saw her standing in front of the grocery store, none of the neighbors who was around the store lending her a hand to help her with shopping bags and she was using crutches because she had feet injury. So I helped her to carry her things and we walk through the rain with my big umbrella. It was the sweetest revenge. Somehow I feel so satisfied by helping her in that way hahaha.. she still grumpy to this day but at least now she often saying hello to me and my family.
