Welcome toEvil Week,our annual dive into all the slightly sketchy hacks wed usually refrain from recommending.

Weve got all the info you’re gonna wanna be successfully unsavory.

Its Evil Week, so lets talk revenge.

These rules are not for fly-off-the-handle types for whom revenge is punching someone in the face.

That kind of crude, emotional response leads to escalation, personal danger, and prison time.

Decide if its really worth it to you

Revenge is messy and can come back on you.

(Spoiler: It probably isnt.)

Ask yourself if your enemy really deserves it, and if so, how much they deserve.

Dont be one of these people.

Tell no one

You might be tempted to tell someone of your plan, but dont.

Dont take a stab at brainstorm with others.

Dont even post about it anonymously.

This is how people get caught.

Also: Take no credit when the deed is done.

Be humble, and take your secret to your grave.

Set a two-year waiting period

Have patience is the most important rule of cold revenge.

Theyll never tie it back to some disgruntled office drone who was fired years ago.

A long waiting period also gives you time to consider backing out.

Maybe spending two years planning an elaborate terror campaign is enough to provide personal catharsis without actually doing anything.

Youre not only getting revenge, youre doing society a favor.

But dont call in false tips to any authoritiesthats extremely illegal.

But before you do this, double-check youre not defaming anyone.

On the other hand, a person is allowed to share their opinionsso tread carefully.

This works for emailing places of employment, too.

You cant lie, but you’ve got the option to have an opinion.

Every day, theyll wonder who is doing this and why.

it’s possible for you to purchase aton of keys on eBay for cheap.

Then you might label them with targets name and phone number.

Then it’s possible for you to leave them all over the place.

Imagine suddenly getting calls from 15 people about your lost keys.

you might do all of these things.

You shouldnt, but it’s possible for you to.
