You get what you give. Don't become the monster. A real class act would just dangle it in front of them and then just approve it anyways. Like removed I'm over it, I don't give a fuck. You're just a dumb ass speed bump.

There are some teachers I had who were absolutely bad people, but honestly, they are teachers and you are not. You already have the best revenge.

Well, OP is just an asshole then. (I'm guessing this isn't really OPs post)

Depends on the circumstances. One might feel a bit smug when karma strikes back as long as one acts professionally. The teacher might have gotten rejected for absolute objective and normal reasons. Like thousands of people do.

And after handling that professionally the poster can humanely feel smug and happy for a short moment in their otherwise likely stressful adult life. And that's okay.

By profession (emergency medicine with a stint in forensic mental health) I get into contact with some really bad people who have done really nasty things. Will I treat them as professionally as I treat every patient? Yes. But there are moments. Years ago I responded to a patient getting bitten in his ass by a police dog(as in the dog literally did bite a seizable piece of meat out of it)after fleeing a scene of a DUI stop(and punching a young police officer). At the same time as we arrive the detective superintendent arrives(as it is protocol here in these cases when someone gets injured by police directly). He is a fairly nice chap I went to school with - and who was relentlessly bullied by a guy a few grades above us. Like...really really bad...to a level that would land one in prison these days. Well, the world is small and guess who Mr. Dogfood was.

Well. We did our job as professionally as we do it with everyone. But when the patient was handed over in hospital we had a good chuckle, cracked a few bad jokes somewhere no member of the public could hear us,asked each other how the respective wives were doing and went on with our workday. And that's okay.

Yeah, this is no where near enough revenge. She needs to go bigger.
