Framed and Fired While the Boss Was Away — So I Took the Creep Down With Me
What started as a fun high school job at a “Mexican Subway” turned into a nightmare thanks to a predatory manager. When he tried to ruin the narrator’s life, karma—and a bit of creative payback—took care of the rest.
The OP was a teenager working at a popular burrito chain, surrounded by friends and familiar faces from school. Everything was great—until “Judd,” the 27-year-old kitchen manager, started making everyone uncomfortable. Loud, cocky, and constantly bragging about his “two girlfriends,” Judd’s behavior crossed every line when it came to the young women who worked under him.
I got fired for standing up to the creep who harassed my coworkers — but I didn’t let him walk away clean.
When female coworkers confided in the OP about Judd’s harassment—cornering girls in the walk-in fridge, groping them, and making explicit comments—the OP decided enough was enough. What Judd didn’t know was that his quiet teenage employee was trained in martial arts. So when the OP caught him following another girl into the fridge, he intervened, sending her out and confronting Judd directly.
“If I ever hear you say disgusting crap to a girl again, I’ll beat the hell out of you—and then I’ll call the cops.”
That confrontation didn’t sit well with Judd. Within days, he started tampering with the OP’s schedule—changing shifts without notice, setting him up to miss work, and getting him fired while the general manager was away. But the OP didn’t take it lying down. With early 2000s online ordering still in its infancy, he found a way to hit Judd where it hurt most: the store’s profits and reputation.
“Every day for a week I ordered hundreds of dollars of burritos and tacos—then never picked them up.”
Knowing the store’s busiest rush hours and which ingredients ran out fastest, the OP flooded their system with fake orders. Within days, the store was drowning in wasted food, backed-up lines, and irate customers. After nearly $2,000 in unclaimed orders, Judd was finally fired. Justice, served spicy and cold.
🏠 The Aftermath
Two weeks after the OP’s firing, Judd was out of a job. The higher-ups cited the enormous waste and poor management, not realizing a quiet form of poetic revenge had helped tip the scales.
The OP never told anyone about the fridge incident—or the fake orders—but friends who stayed behind confirmed the chaos. The kitchen was overwhelmed, the staff miserable, and Judd’s downfall inevitable.
Even years later, the OP has no regrets. Judd’s reign of terror ended, and the restaurant became a safer place for everyone who worked there afterward.
Sometimes justice isn’t served on a plate—it’s ordered online and never picked up.
It’s a story of small-town revenge and quiet solidarity. The OP didn’t just get even; he made sure the man who hurt others couldn’t keep doing it.
💭 Emotional Reflection
This story is part justice, part teenage rebellion, and all catharsis. It shows how courage can take many forms—sometimes a confrontation, sometimes a quiet act of retaliation when systems fail to protect people.
While the OP’s tactics weren’t exactly lawful, the motivation was clear: to defend friends who had been silenced. In an era before workplace protections were widely enforced, he became the only line of defense they had.
Ultimately, the story speaks to the cost of silence and the power of standing up to abuse, even when it means taking the risk yourself.
Readers had strong reactions to the tale of revenge and justice.
“You didn’t just get fired—you got promoted to karma’s assistant manager.”
“He harassed girls, framed you, and got what was coming. Absolute legend move.”
“Not all heroes wear capes—some just order a thousand burritos.”
Commenters overwhelmingly praised the OP for his bravery and sense of justice, calling it the perfect blend of moral stand and petty revenge. Others admitted the story felt like the ultimate small-town karma tale.
🌱 Final Thoughts
Standing up for what’s right often comes with consequences—but sometimes, the universe lets you serve poetic justice yourself. This story proves that courage doesn’t always look clean, but it’s powerful nonetheless.
In the end, Judd lost his job, his control, and his arrogance—while the OP walked away knowing he’d made a real difference.
