Seasonal Petty Revenge — A Salty Sister-In-Law’s Tasty Holiday Retribution

While the holiday season is often associated with bringing out the best in people, it can sometimes have the opposite effect, leading to heightened tensions and family clashes. The convergence of relatives, the emotional intensity of celebrations, and the weight of high expectations can create a perfect storm of familial discord.

It’s a surprising fact that I once heard that Christmas day is statistically one of the days when one is most likely to face harm from a family member, which certainly doesn’t align with the traditional notion of a merry and bright holiday season. Therefore, it’s not entirely unexpected that the festive months can become an opportune time for settling scores with one’s adversaries. As the saying goes, perhaps inspired by Sun Tzu, “Revenge is a dish best served alongside a glistening turkey on Thanksgiving.”

This story, which originates from a post on r/pettyrevenge, serves as a delectable example of seasonal animosity, masterfully executed. Considering that food takes center stage during holiday gatherings, it’s only fitting that it becomes the weapon of choice for those seeking to outwit their sworn foes.
