Man Cuts the Line at Silent Retreat, Vengeful Person Attracts Swarm of Ants to Make Him Break Vow of Silence

With this act of petty revenge, true balance was restored. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/horatio_winklebottom, a great username that we must acknowledge. Now, I don't know much about Buddhist retreats and the Redditor may not either, but I do know that revenge is a dish best served cold…and apparently, with a swarm of ants. We have all fantasized about revenge on petty insignificant people like those who cut the line at, say, a Starbucks. Usually, however, we don't have the time or energy to actually enact that revenge. This person, however, certainly had that time at a silent meditation retreat. Perhaps this wasn't the goal of the experience, but it certainly made for a great story. And aren't great stories the key to a well-examined life? Keep scrolling below to see just how the original poster pulled this off. For more revenge content, take a look at this weird one about a roommate who stole and ate dog food.
