The Cupcake Heist

  • 🧁 The narrator, an IT professional at a hospital, had two cupcakes specifically set aside for him by a nurse named Nancy.
  • 🔍 Upon going to retrieve his treat, he discovered both cupcakes were missing from the staff room fridge.
  • 😠 This theft triggered an investigation, as the narrator had intimate knowledge of the building's security systems, including CCTV and door access logs.

The Culprit and The Plan

  • CCTV footage and door access logs revealed that a coworker named Jerry was the thief.
  • 💡 The narrator devised a complex plan using the hospital's networked security systems to systematically inconvenience and frustrate Jerry.
  • 🛠️ This involved programming automated alerts, door malfunctions, and pager messages triggered by Jerry's card swipes, designed to disrupt his routine without affecting patients.

Jerry's Downward Spiral

  • 📈 Over the next few weeks, Jerry raised numerous maintenance tickets due to the system malfunctions, experiencing constant disruptions.
  • 😠 Despite the escalating issues, Jerry denied any involvement in the cupcake theft and demanded the narrator fix the problems.
  • ⚠️ The narrator escalated the system's activity, knowing Jerry was already in final disciplinary stages for past offenses, including taking colleagues' food.

The Confession and Consequences

  • 🤝 The narrator arranged for Nancy to present Jerry with two cupcakes identical to the stolen ones, prompting a silent, angry realization from Jerry.
  • 🤐 Jerry, fearing official complaint and job loss due to the cupcake incident potentially surfacing, remained silent but was clearly defeated.
  • 📉 Jerry was eventually fired two months later for further theft, and the narrator and maintenance manager shared a drink, reflecting on the events.

A Tale of Two Revenge Stories

  • 💰 The video also includes a second story about an employer named Eugene who exploited loopholes to avoid paying employee retirement contributions.
  • 📧 The narrator, after leaving Eugene's company, provided extensive evidence to the contribution board, proving Eugene's claims of the narrator being an intern were false.
  • ⚖️ Eugene was forced to pay the full contributions, plus fines, and subsequently lost clients due to his unethical practices.
