00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to them. Christian O'Connor Show podcast.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: This week on the show, we're getting some incredible stories

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: from you guys about small and unusual things that got stolen.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: And Jason emailed me yesterday he said he one sort

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: of folding out with his flatmates who were a couple,

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: and he asked him to move out. When they left,

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: they stole all of his teaspoons. This is some sort

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: of small act revenge, isn't it. It's devious but also

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: very very clever, right, because I'm guessing this is probably

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: years ago, but it's still it's still it's still a

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: pain in the backside.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: And every time he goes to stir a drink, he.

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Got me, all right, They're laughing for years to come

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: about the aftermath of what they created. So this morning,

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: I think most of us has done some small, petty

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: act of revenge. I remember many many years ago. I

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: would never do anything like this now, but there was

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: a pain in the backside. Listener, who'd won a prize

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: and normally the standardway works in the UK, and I'm

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: guessing it is here as well. You get like six

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 2: weeks and your prize is delivered work to you, right

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: and this guy. He must have said like eight emails

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: within twenty four hours asking where his prize was. In

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: the end, we never sent him the prize because he

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: just kept calling the radio station complaining, and we said

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: we've sent it in the post, it should be there,

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: and he was getting angry angry. I think, if I

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: ever die, suddenly know that guy has heard this and

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: he's found me. It's years later, he's still sat by

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: his store every time the posted or I was going

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: where is that prize? All it was was like a

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: fifty buck drill as well that he could have just

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: gone out and brought as well, where is my prize?

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: Where is my prize? You must have done this when

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: you're working at Hoyts or in radio, some small acts

36
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: of revenge.

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: You know who got a small actor revenge on me

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: At Hoyts, I kicked. My job was to go up

39
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: and down the sides of the cinemas and kick out

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: people who weren't meant to be in there.

41
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: So, oh wow, what about what do you mean who

42
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: is stowing away in a hot under underage kids in

43
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: an A fifteen plus?

44
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: You was the lifeguard, so I enforced. I kicked out

45
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: three kids from heints, and then I waited in there

46
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: for five minutes just to make sure they didn't come

47
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: back in the cinema. And as I went to the cinema,

48
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: you know they got those big double doors to get

49
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: in and out of each cinema. Yeah, they'd taken a

50
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: broom from the cleaner's cupboard and they put the broom

51
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: through your keeping handles of the door from the inside.

52
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: The trapped in there with an fifteen movie.

53
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: I had to talk three out the fire escape.

54
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Patsy, imagine your life as a whole load of these.

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: It's usually involved with my husband. The other day, he

56
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: hates when I leave my coffee bag because I use

57
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: coffee bags at home like a tea bag.

58
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was such a thing.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're great, I get is it Russell Russell Hobbs

60
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: or not.

61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: Russell Hobbs, Russell CROs No, Russell.

62
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: Harris once it beautiful. But Chris hates if I leave

63
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: them around the kitchen. And I was a bit annoyed

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 4: with him the other day, and I might have left

65
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: one in the sink just to annoy him while I

66
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: was working.

67
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: That's how they find edge in their relationship.

68
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 3: Now it comes to when it comes.

69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: To twenty five years of marriage, is how it comes

70
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: to this?

71
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that when it comes to small acts

72
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: of revenge. There's a guy who works on this show

73
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: who is a ticking time bomb. He's called Perry, and

74
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: in his DNA, I believe it's a sequence in there

75
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: which is all about revenge. He has a billion stories

76
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: in a formal life. He worked at JB Hi Fi.

77
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: He once told me his motto is never forgive, never forget.

78
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: And we work with this guy, well, we can never

79
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: not work with him, because we can.

80
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: We've only got three hours left on a show, so

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: we can't have all of your revenge stories, Perry. But

82
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: give us just two great stories of revenge, Perry. What

83
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: have you got mate?

84
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: All right?

85
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: So the first one yesterday Jack was talking about my

86
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: ex girlfriend that stole one of every one of my

87
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 5: socks pears, so I never had a pair. One of

88
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: the very few benefits of dating me is obviously I

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 5: would take quite a nice photo of people, and after

90
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 5: we broke up, she was still posting these nice photos

91
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: that I'd taken of her. So I reported to Instagram

92
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: for copyright infringement and they removed her account.

93
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Why why would you? I wouldn't even know who got

94
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: to go to some one Instagram? Is there a phone number?

95
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Is mister Graham in today?

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: What he rourse?

97
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 5: She loved that Instagram account. It was took us six

98
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: months to get it back.

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: Don't fall out with Perry. What's another one? Perry?

100
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 5: Well, when I was at JB obviously still quite a

101
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: frum there as well. We used to get customers that

102
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: would come in and haggle quite a bit. And one guy,

103
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 5: he tried to haggle a little too much for my liking.

104
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: But you're liking you? Are you?

105
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Mister JB?

106
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: High five?

107
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 5: What I says?

108
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 3: Ghost?

109
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: He was a bit rude to me, and my co

110
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: worker is a bit adamant about what he wanted. And

111
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: I told him we'd go look for the stock that

112
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: he wanted. And then I said I'd go out the

113
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: back and have a look. And then I went on

114
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: my lunch break and came back forty five minutes later,

115
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: told him we didn't have it, even though we had plenty.

116
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: This man is employed by us, all right, so we're

117
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: looking for your stories. Then I'm all acts of revenge.

118
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,080

125
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: about small acts of revenge?

126
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 7: Yes, I was in Brussels about ten years ago, fifteen

127
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 7: years ago and went to a restaurant in order to

128
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: steak and ordered the medium. Came back rare, and so

129
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 7: I asked them if they could go back and just

130
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 7: cook it a bit more and naked medium. It came

131
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 7: back and it was way overcook as in beyond well done,

132
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 7: just to chef was making a point, and then I

133
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 7: said I wasn't going to pay for it, and they

134
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 7: threatened to call the police. And so I was sitting

135
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 7: sitting next to the window where the menu was, where

136
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 7: people come past to look out to see if they

137
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 7: want to come in. And I stayed there from six

138
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 7: o'clock at night till midnight, just screwing up my notes

139
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 7: and shaking my head giving it.

140
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't wait like a sitting demonstration, aren't you.

141
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 7: It's absolutely yeah.

142
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: Time you'll never get back. David. Thank you very much,

143
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: your story mate, have a good weekend.

144
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 7: Thank you too.

00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul. Good morning, Paul. Hey you go,

Speaker 2: of revenge? What was it for you? Yeah?

148
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 6: Very small one, but it was a bit of fun.

149
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 6: I had next employee with a real pace of work,

150
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 6: love making Mark, everyone, get help for everyone. When we

151
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 6: finally left, we rode money as well, and I'll kind

152
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 6: of ounder all the keys. And I realized afterwards in

153
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 6: my car I still had the remote to.

154
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 7: His garards for his home.

155
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 6: I just politely every couple of weeks, as I'm driving

156
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 6: past his house, I just opened the garwards on the front.

157
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: Of his home, my favorite one. We're not going to

158
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: get anything more joyous than that. I must say, you

159
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: haven't you still got it? Now? I fancy driving I
