There is nothing quite like justice being served to someone who deserves it. However, let’s face it, most of us don’t live in the wild west, so we don’t need to be out there dispensing frontier justice to wrongdoers. Instead, a much more civilized alternative is the category ofhilariousand petty pranks someone might play on people who annoy them.

Glitter is a wonderfully annoying way to get back at someone
Bored Pandagot in touch with the netizen who shared the story and set up the glitter-bombing and she was kind enough to share some of her thoughts. Naturally, we wanted to hear her thoughts on why the story was so popular and how it made her feel. “I think most people have someone that they wish they could glitter bomb or get some form of revenge!”
There is now an entire industry around bespoke glitter bombs

The original glitter bombing was a pretty primitive affair, as the “attacker” would just fling glitter in the general direction of the target. Nowadays, as in this story, there are ready made “bombs” that one can mail in a sort of surprise attack. It doesn’t end there, as this story demonstrates, the glitter itself can be shaped in such a way as to add insult to injury. For example, the aforementioned penis-glitter. The brilliance in apranklike this is that it’s not too serious and keeps collateral damage to a minimum.
Indeed, this has become a small industry, where you can custom order these “bombs” and have them shipped directly to your “target,” or you can assemble themyourself. These all sound like words that, if Googled, would put you on a watchlist, but it is real at the end of the day. Some internet pranksters even claim to send back unwanted junk-mail with attached glitter bombs, which most of us can agree is a sort of justice.
Petty revenge is generally fun for everyone but the victim
The real reason stories like this appeal to so many people is because we do enjoy a solid tale of revenge. However, real crimes and the justice system are often too dark and complex to make “enjoyable” stories, while, at the same time, everyday life generally isn’t full of “true” villains, just annoying and rude folks like this stepfather.
Often enough, many of us have perhaps considered taking action like this towards a person who has gone out of their way to be mean or inconsiderate. Often this just remains at the fantasy-stage, but as this woman shows, a few people are petty enough to make their ideas into a reality.
This is also partially the appeal of “petty” revenge, which is a considerably downsized “tactical frivolity.” As fun as revenge can be, it’s understandable that it’s pretty easy to go too far. As horrible as this stepfather might be, keying his car, for example, would already be too much. But a harmless and hilarious inconvenience like glitter is just perfect.
