My Dad used to be work in the maintanence department at a very expensive & very high class boys-only high school. It was actually a pretty respectable job, requiring a plethora of trade qualifications and a working brain. He was pretty committed to the job and often pulled overtime on the weekends.
But, because it was a rich school in a rich area there was a lot of snobbery involved. Kid's parents were assholes, the kids were practically uncontrollable. Dad handled it all by just being incredibly good at his job and never getting mad - just even.
So, one saturday morning he goes into the workshop on campus to build some new tables and desks. At 9 o'clock he gets in, makes coffee and gets set up, before turning on the extractor fans in the workshop that remove the sawdust. As a sidenote you're legally allowed to operate machinery like this from seven o'clock in the morning onwards, in terms of noise pollution restrictions.
Cue a guy, most likely a parent of one of the boys at the school, storming over from his house in the properties behind the workshop, in his dressing gown. Absolutely flips his shit, screaming at Dad to turn the machinery off. Dad just stands his ground, explains that's he's allowed to be running it and waited until mid morning out of courtesy. That's not good enough and this guy starts making threats along the lines of 'they know me at the College, I know people, I can have you sacked, who is your supervisor?'
Dad says, 'I can give you the maintanence supervisors number.' and hands the guy a business card. Guy pulls out his mobile and dials the number. He's staring Dad in the face, still pumped up and ready to start bagging him out to the supervisor.
Dad's phone rings. He pulls it out, answers it and says, 'Scotch_Carb Snr, maintanence supervisor.'
The guy flipped his shit completely, threw the card back at Dad and stormed out.

I was attending training for a deployment. One of the trainers was teaching something wrong and I corrected him. He tried to make a big scene and accused me of disrespecting a superior NCO. Then I pointed out that I out-ranked him.

Ex girlfriend comes up to me at a group of people I'm chatting with outside of class, sees I'm talking to an attractive girl, and says "you don't want to get to know edditorRay, he is a stupid Jew"! Good thing this was right in front of the local news folks asking the Chabbad (Jewish student group) about the upcoming Jewish Holy Days and the attractive girl I was talking to was recording us on camera.

This is something my father did. So at the time my dad was working at a advertising company or something. I forget. It's not really important. What is important is it was a very professional environment. Everyday he'd put on a fancy shmancy suit and tie and work in a very fancy shmancy building. One day a new employee was promoted to his floor or something like that. The new guy was pretty young, like fresh out of college, almost. Turns out there were two other guys who worked with my dad that went to the same college as the new guy. I'll call them ted and teddy. Immediately the new guy started to look up to them. He'd go to them for advice and what not. After about three day's ted and teddy decided to play a prank on the new guy. So they decide they should tell him that the next friday was Hawaiian shirt day, but of course it wasn't. They tell my dad about it before hand and ask if he can email him about it too so it looks like everyone knows about it. My dad says he'll do it. So my dad emails the new guy about hawaiian shirt day. Then he email's his boss and fills him in on the situation, but instead of just ratting out ted and teddy, he and his boss organize an actual hawaiian shirt day and tell everyone in the office except ted and teddy. Mean while, my dad tells ted and teddy that the coming friday is corporate picture day so they'll dress super fancy. The picture of my dad's whole office, dressed in hawaiian shirts, except two dudes in the back wearing fancy suits is priceless

"My first long-term boyfriend cheated on me during our senior year of high school, then led me on for months by saying, "I wanna be with you, I just need some time apart. We're still together, I just wanna see other people two." Like any socially inept, shy, insecure high schooler, I went along with it for quite some time before calling it quits for good.
However, my ex had promised me long before that he would take me to the senior prom that year, no matter what happened between us.
In the weeks leading up to prom, I order a modest looking dress online, buy my ticket, book a hair appointment, the whole shebang.
So, one week before that prom night, I find out from mutual friends that he's taking the 14-year-old who he cheated on me with to the prom instead of me. And I'd also been told that my ex wasn't going to tell me about it. He'd been planning on letting me buy a dress, spend the entire prom day getting ready, and then he was going to stand me up on prom night.
So I asked his recently single best friend to take me (because we'd already been friends for years before, and he'd just broken up with his girlfriend). I return the modest dress I'd bought online, and take the money to a local dress shop. I buy a sexy, flaming red prom dress that shows off my legs, back, and bust. Sky-high black stilettos. I forgo the intricate hair style for a sexy haircut instead.
I looked good.
I showed up for the pre-prom dinner at a restaurant, where my date, his friend and his girlfriend, and my ex and his new girlfriend are waiting at the table. I walk down the path leading to the table like it's a catwalk. Every eye in the restaurant is on me. For thirty seconds, I commanded an entire room.
I danced the night away with my prom date while my ex fumed to himself in the corner, refusing to dance with his girl. He left early. My date and I go back to my house where we have the longest, most intimate conversation of my life. We talk about our lives, our childhoods, who we both are and who we both want to be, everything. We talk until the sun comes up.
My ex's best friend and I are now happily married. So really, every day that I live is a day that my ex's plan to humiliate me is backfiring."
