My narcissistic boss constantly puts me down by saying that she's smarter than me, while also placing herself on a pedestal that truly was incredibly fragile.

So I decided to get some revenge by not only tricking her into not doing her job, but doing it in such a way where she couldn't argue that I wasn't doing exactly as she told me.

Here's what happened.

Okay, so about 20 years ago, I used to work as an office

assistant at a small company where we would receive orders from clients, and then we would

assigned the task to my boss to do over the weekend.

It was Monday morning and the time was ticking, and my boss had not arrived at the office yet, and the client had called to see if we were going to provide the work soon as it was urgent.

I tried calling my boss who didn't pick up her mobile, and I called half an hour later, and I even texted her.

But still, I got no answer or reply while noon was also fastly approaching. So I called her landline at home. Her husband picked up, told me she wasn't at home, and I explained very briefly why I was trying to get a hold of her.
