What are some of the best revenge stories in general?

One story I heard was about a woman who found out her partner was cheating. Instead of making a scene immediately, she quietly collected evidence of his affairs. She then sent an anonymous package to his workplace with all the proof, which led to him getting fired and his reputation in tatters.

One great revenge story is about a guy whose coworker constantly stole his ideas and took credit for them at work. So he secretly documented every instance. When the time was right, he presented all the evidence to their boss during a crucial meeting. His coworker was fired on the spot.

One time my best friend borrowed my favorite dress without asking and returned it all stained. So I got revenge by photoshopping a really unflattering picture of her and making it my phone's wallpaper when she was around. She was so embarrassed.

There was a girl in school who was bullied by a group. Instead of fighting back physically, she studied hard and got into the best college. Years later, she became very successful while the bullies were stuck in their small - town lives. Her success was a sweet revenge. She showed that they couldn't hold her back with their mean words and actions.

In a certain office, a group of colleagues were excluding one person from important meetings and projects. This person decided to work extra hard on their own small tasks and turn them into something amazing. They presented their work independently to the top management. Their work was so good that management started an investigation into why they were being excluded. In the end, those exclusive colleagues were reprimanded, and the person who was excluded got promoted.

One story is about a woman who found out her husband was cheating. Instead of getting angry immediately, she quietly took control of their joint finances. She transferred the money to a new account and used it to buy a property in her name only. Then she served him the divorce papers. He was left with almost nothing while she had a new start.

One story is about an employee who was constantly overworked and underpaid. Instead of just quitting quietly, he made a detailed report of all the company's illegal practices regarding overtime pay and sent it to the labor department. As a result, the company had to pay a hefty fine and correct their ways.

One great anime revenge story is 'Code Geass'. The main character Lelouch wants revenge against the Britannian Empire for what they did to his mother and sister. He uses his Geass power to lead a rebellion. Another is 'Akame ga Kill!'. Akame and her comrades seek revenge against the corrupt empire that has been oppressing the people. They fight with all their might to take down the evildoers. And 'Revolutionary Girl Utena' also has elements of revenge as Utena challenges the system that has wronged her in the past.

One of the best is when a small coffee shop owner was being bullied by a big coffee chain that opened nearby. The big chain tried to drive the small shop out by undercutting prices. But the small shop owner decided to focus on quality. He sourced the best beans and trained his staff well. Eventually, his loyal customers spread the word, and he not only survived but thrived, while the big chain's store in that area had to close due to lack of quality service.

'Akame ga Kill!' can be considered a great revenge story. The characters in the anime have various reasons for seeking revenge. For example, Akame wants to take down the corrupt government that has caused so much pain and suffering to the people. The anime shows the harsh realities of their world and how they fight back, with revenge as a major driving force.
