Well, that taught 'emSammi Evil Nice writes "I shared with two students, and it was always the same; whenever it was near to paytime, my milk *and only this* would disappear.
One of them, John, was a lovely bloke but allergic to nuts. John makes tea. Soon after, John starts swelling up.
ME: Runs, administers epi-pen. "You're going into anaphalactic shock."
HIM: "How do you know?"
ME: "I put almond oil in my milk."
What have you done to teach somebody a lesson?

Bullies? Throw 'em off a cliff!I, like so many other people posting here got a certain amount of hassle at school. Many many years later, and I find myself teaching the newbs how to handle off-road vehicles on a training course for the "long term unemployed" (as I had been, right up to starting doing the course myself). I had been entrusted with a machine called a Glenalmond, a sort of a cross between a Tonka truck and a motorised skip. One of the new guys starting that day was none other than one of the people who had given me extensive hassle from first to fourth year. Oh, this could get messy...
Now then, things started off cordial enough, as they do when viewed through the lens of a few years and a convivial cup of tea. Then we went out for the demo run. Now I have a terrible habit of turning to look at the person I'm talking to while driving, and while bowling along rough moorland in a 35bhp biscuit tin is no exception. "So these two levers here control the hydraulic motors, and the throttle pedal sets the engine power", I said, as we crested a rise with what looked like a sheer drop into a loch beyond, and the machine nearly stood on its nose. "... And, if I just pull them back gently we stop," - *THUD* as his face hit the windscreen - "... and pull them back further and we can just reverse back up this very steep hill! Good, isn't it? Right, your go..."
Length? It was the depth that did it...
