My wife Emma has always loved fashion and recently decided to pursue it as a career. When she saw a “Now Hiring” sign at a lingerie store, she went in excited to apply. But the sales assistant there was shockingly rude—telling Emma she wasn’t “pretty enough” for the job. Emma came home heartbroken and in tears. I was furious that someone could treat her so cruelly.

Determined to teach that assistant a lesson, I teamed up with my friend Mike, who works in fashion. I went back to the store pretending to shop, and the assistant immediately switched to sweet and helpful mode, eager to make a sale. Then Mike showed up as a talent scout and crushed her dreams of modeling, while praising Emma’s potential instead.

The assistant was left humiliated and stunned, and Emma gained confidence from the experience. We walked away knowing that sometimes the best revenge is standing up for the people you love—and proving their worth in the most unforgettable way.
