I've found myself very vengeful at work lately. I'm trying to figure out if it's due to my frustration and general impatience with my users and co-workers or if it's something more, a need in me to make other people pay for pissing me off.
As one example, I gave a user two weeks to register for a service that would help him in the event he locked out his computer account. Told him he was going to have lengthy delays getting support if he didn't. Reminded him three times, he never did it. In the meantime, he gave me a hard time about other things that he wanted done, pronto.
So when he called because he couldn't log in because his account was locked out (gee how did that happen?), I made him wait. A while. When I finally did call him and discuss it, he complained about the wait and I made sure he knew that it was his own fault. He had every excuse in the world, but all of them lame. I made him register while I was on the phone and hung up with him promptly.
Have you planned revenge on someone who did you wrong? Did you feel at all guilty about it afterwards or did it feel good which made you want to do it more?
