Ascend Through Code. Evolve Through Automation.

The 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 Guide to Revenge

·

Automation isn’t just about freeing up your time. Sometimes, it’s about making the lives of your “adversaries” just that little bit harder. Whether it’s a bad boss, an ex who won’t get the hint, or a “friend” who’s more trouble than they’re worth, here’s your toolkit for causing chaos… from a comfortable distance.


1. Auto-Reschedule: Weaponize Their Calendar

  • The Concept: Sync yourself with someone’s calendar just long enough to plant an endless cycle of pointless meetings.
  • Tools: Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Zapier.
  • How-To: If you have access to their calendar (e.g., corporate setup or they gave you access at some point), use Zapier to set up a recurring event invitation. Label it something boring and slightly guilt-inducing, like “Weekly Check-In” or “Quarterly Review Planning.”
  • The Move: Every time they decline or delete it, Zapier can be set to reinvite them automatically after a set number of hours or days. Done right, it’s endless. They’ll get so annoyed they either go to the meeting just to get it off their calendar, or they’ll start ignoring you, which works too.

2. Auto-Replies to Drive Them Insane

  • The Concept: Set up endless loops of automated responses that appear helpful, but ultimately waste their time.
  • Tools: Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or HelpScout (for customer service revenge).
  • How-To: Create an auto-responder that gives an answer just vague enough that they need to clarify. For example:
    • First email: “Thanks for reaching out! Can you provide more details?”
    • Second response: “Thank you for the additional information. I’ll need a bit more context on [insert vague detail they probably didn’t mention].”
  • The Move: Use Gmail filters or Outlook rules to trigger the first response whenever their email address hits your inbox. If they respond, it kicks off a second filter, repeating until they give up or explode.

3. Fake Newsletters: Flood Their Inbox with Junk

  • The Concept: Sign them up for every mailing list imaginable. Everything from crypto spam to obscure philosophical think tanks.
  • Tools: Fake email accounts, bulk email sign-up sites (Mailbait’s a classic).
  • How-To: Create a script to input their email address on mailing list sites that don’t have CAPTCHA. Python with libraries like requests works great for this. Or, go rogue and use Mailbait to automate mass subscriptions. Just don’t overdo it, or they’ll know it’s a setup.
  • The Move: Target niche newsletters and B2B spam that are tricky to unsubscribe from, like multi-level marketing companies, freelance sites, or anything vaguely clickbait-y. Avoid common services like Google and Facebook—they’re wise to this game.

4. Create a Feedback Loop of Annoyance with Auto-Retargeting

  • The Concept: Trigger digital ads that follow them everywhere, subtly reminding them of something they hate.
  • Tools: Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram.
  • How-To: Set up an ad campaign with a small budget targeting your adversary’s interests. Use retargeting pixels on social media (if they visited a page or website connected to you or something they clicked once), then fill the ad creative with something mildly infuriating.
  • The Move: Think of an in-joke or an inside reference that will get under their skin, but isn’t immediately obvious to others. If they hate puns, make an ad full of terrible wordplay that follows them everywhere. Since it’s retargeted, they’ll see it constantly, but the rest of the world won’t even know it exists.

5. Bot-Assisted Ghosting: Leave Them on Read for Eternity

  • The Concept: Set up a bot to respond just enough to keep the conversation “alive,” without actually engaging.
  • Tools: Slack bots, WhatsApp Business API, or custom Python scripts with Twilio.
  • How-To: For Slack, use a bot like Slackbot or even build a custom app with simple “if this, then that” responses. For messaging, you can set up an auto-responder via Twilio’s API that sends pre-written texts based on keywords.
  • The Move: Program responses that seem polite but coldly dismissive, like “Oh, interesting!” or “Good point.” Make sure responses are just varied enough that they don’t catch on, but not actually helpful. Done right, it’s like an automated shoulder shrug.

6. Passive-Aggressive Reminders That Never Stop

  • The Concept: Set up automated “gentle reminders” for things that don’t actually need to be done.
  • Tools: Email platforms, scheduling apps like Calendly, or Google Assistant.
  • How-To: Program reminders for tasks that have either already been done or that don’t actually matter, like reminding them to “Check your inbox” when there’s nothing new there.
  • The Move: Set the reminders for random intervals, so just when they think they’re in the clear, boom—another one hits. Make them question whether they missed something, but never enough for them to figure out what.

7. Spam Their Socials with Subtle Shade

  • The Concept: Use AI-generated or pre-written comments to flood their socials with the worst kind of “nice” replies.
  • Tools: ChatGPT (😉), Instabot, or custom automation with Python.
  • How-To: Set up a bot to comment something mildly undermining on every new post. Examples:
    • “Wow, brave of you to try this!”
    • “Interesting… not everyone would choose that approach.”
  • The Move: Keep the comments just innocent enough to slip past filters but annoying enough that they start to notice. They’ll know something’s off, but won’t have proof of malicious intent.

8. Automate Infinite Phone Call Transfers

  • The Concept: If you have access to a corporate or shared phone system, set up call transfers that loop around forever.
  • Tools: Corporate VoIP or cloud-based phone systems, Twilio for personal use.
  • How-To: If they work in a corporate environment, configure their desk phone to automatically transfer to various support numbers that bounce calls back to their line. With Twilio, set up a loop that forwards a call back to itself or to other numbers where they’ll get lost.
  • The Move: Use a time delay so they pick up, say “hello,” and then get transferred somewhere pointless. The key here is confusion, not harassment—make it feel like a glitch instead of a setup.

9. Loop Their Tasks with Never-Ending To-Do Lists

  • The Concept: For work revenge, send auto-reminders to “update” or “recheck” tasks they’ve already done.
  • Tools: Asana, Monday.com, Google Tasks.
  • How-To: Add tasks that automatically regenerate every time they’re completed. Use integrations like Zapier to refresh a task whenever it’s checked off or deleted.
  • The Move: Use this one sparingly. Keep the task vague, like “Make sure this is done correctly.” They’ll keep double-checking their own work, wasting time and sanity.

Final Thoughts

With great automation comes great responsibility… and the potential for well-disguised revenge. This isn’t about going overboard; it’s about using tech to drive someone just a little nuts, while staying on the safe side of legality and humor. Subtlety is your friend here—the best tech revenge is annoying without being obvious. They’ll never suspect your genius, but they’ll sure feel it.
