This is a question "Needless to say, I had the last laugh"

Celebrity autobiographies are filled to the brim with self-righteous tales of smug oneupmanship. So, forget you had any shame, grab a coffee and a croissant, and tell us your smug tales of when you got one over somebody.

Thanks to Ring of Fire for the suggestion

An old friend
When I was about 14-15 I started to hang with a nice, pretty girl who actually seemed to like me. Thing is, one of the group of local bullys had his eyes on her as well. Anyway, one day out of the blue he jumps me and gives me a good hiding in front of a fair group of my friends. I didn’t even see it coming as I really didn’t even know who this guy was. I went home, licked my wounds and tried to avoid this guy at all costs. I should note that this bully was much older, bigger, meaner and had waaay more tough nut friends than me.

Fast forward about 10 years at a party and who should be there but the bully that gave me a working over earlier in life. Now, I’d put on about 30kgs since then and was no longer the skinny 15 year old kid. I’d had a couple of amateur boxing fights and was a lot more confident. As soon as I entered the room the now ex-bully knew who I was and I saw the same look in his eyes that I probably gave him when he beat me down.
It was my turn to be bigger and stronger and it was very satisfying to see him make his goodbyes and leave with his eyes fixed firmly to the ground.
Satisfying, yes, but it would’ve been more satisfying to give him back what he gave me…But I refrained.

So needless to say I think I really did have the last laugh (or smirk at least).

Well you probably did the best thing
Beating someone up over something that happened all that time ago at school probably isn't the best thing... In fact unless he did something to you there at that party, it would be you who'd have looked like a bit of a dick, well in my opinion. Of course i say all that time ago, but had he say raped said girl or killed your mum or something then you would have obviously been entitled to karate chop him in half.
