just take back the computer and install Windows Vista, then give it back to her. That will teach her to mess with you, lets see her to try to pull up her myspace on THAT.
Just take the computer and tell her the "repo man" came by to repossess the PC since she wasn't paying for it. You don't necessarily have to mention the repo man was you. Done deal. Then just sell the PC on eBay or whatever, get what you can, and pay the collection agency back to settle that account. So it's not really revenge. You need to take care of your financial obligations, and this sounds like a reasonable way.
That's my first thought too - just take the computer back and do with the computer what you will. Why would you let her keep it and seek out other ways of getting back at her?
I am with the last few posts to advise you not to seek out revenge. Why not move out, take the computer with you, tell EVERYONE what she did to you, and warn Rafer that we don't want to lose him to the injury report 'cuz he has "an infection" from that b*tch?!?!?
I agree with this one. Not much she can do about that. It's your credit she's screwing up. My wife, when she was in college, had better credit than her parents. She allowed them to buy a computer and some living room furniture on her Sears card. Her parents hit some hard times and quit paying the bills. My wife's credit was ruined. When we got our first apartment in Austin, we drove down to San Antonio and took the furniture. It was a nice leather couch and chair w/ ottoman. I didn't take the computer because it was a POS. Her parents were pissed at first, but we told them "Look, it's her/our credit you're screwing up. We'll pay the card and take the furniture. Keep the computer and just try and help us out when you can." I don't expect your sister to be as nice about it, but in this case, you need to do what's best for you. I'm assuming you're young and have a relatively short credit history. Don't let something like this put you in a hole. Take the computer back. Sell it. Pay the bill off. It's not revenge. It's just doing what you need to do.
Sister is one thing, but doing that to her parents? That's just so wrong, without her parents, where would she be? They raised her didn't they?
Pay off the computer, learn a lesson, move on. Don't anyone ever co-sign for something you aren't prepared to pay for. Don't ask your parents to co-sign for anything they aren't prepared to pay for. Don't lend money to friends or relatives, it effects your relationship even if they do pay you back. Don't ever lend more than you can live without getting back, for sure. If you do lend a significant amount of money, you must have a written contract signed by both parties. Same if you borrow it. And as always....don't be a dumbass.
I don't ever lend or loan anything to anyone. If someone is in need, I usually just give (if I am able) if it's for a good reason. If they choose or insist on paying me back, fine. They can do it if they wish. But I don't expect it. You end up never being disappointed this way. And frankly, it feels better just to help someone without having to worry about getting something back.
Does she like Radiohead? Maybe you could convince them to go on MTV and talk about how she's totally not cool.
Bad mouth her behind her back to her friends. After a few months her self-esteem will be in the tank and she'll live a life filled w/ self-doubt and insecurity. It's the revenge that keeps on...revenging...something like that. At least I think that's what girls did to each other in high school.
AH! i have many options for you grasshopper. 1. use her email and sign her up for a bunch of p*rn sites. pro: harmless way of getting back at her, computer will get infected w/ adware and a virus. con: may not be as mean as you want 2. mess with the computer by: a. splashing a little soder on the motherboard pro: cant be traced to you con: need soder and a sodering iron, she may start using your computer all the time, may or may not kill the computer b. take out the cpu and break a few pins off pro: will definately kill the computer, very hard to detect con: can be traced to you, you have to know which pins to break, she may start using your computer c. take out the cpu and heat sink and wipe off all the thermal paste pro: computer will eventually die, no way to trace back to you con: will take a long time to occur, she may start using your computer all the time 3. mess with her car by: a. take some crap and put a little bit inside the ac vents pro: she'll be driving around smelling **** for months con: can be traced back to you bc why would there be fecal matter in the air vents. b. key her car pro: easily let off a lot of steam con: could possibly be traced back, not cool keying someones ride c. have her car towed. pro: she'll have to shell out cash to get it back con: can be traced to you, she may ask you for the money 4. put laxatives in her food pro: easy, cant be traced to you (but you have to act like youre having stomach problems too) con: yall live together... 5. put a hidden camera in her room pro: cold blooded con: can be traced to you, maybe going a little too far, yall live together... 6. go to a club and give her number to every ugly looking guy you see pro: will be funny con: easily traced back to you 7. go the gym and take a towel, find a guy w/ athletes foot, wipe the floor around him, then take it home and pass it on to your sis. pro: cant be traced to you con: you may get athletes foot too 8. steal her cell and hide it. pro: if you hide it well, she'll have to buy a new phone. con: you have to hide it so that she cant suspect you. 9. steal her cell and give it to an ugly dude in a club. pro: funny. con: will be traced to you. 10. exchange the shampoo in the shampoo bottle for nair pro: do i really need to explain... con: going too far, yall live together, could blind her... 11. exchange the soap in her facial wash for nair pro: ditto #10 con: she has to use a liquid soap for washing her face going too far, yall live together, could blind her... ok this is all i can think up for now. if you want more just say so. just remember that if you really want to do this, you better be willing to deal w/ the consequences. there is always a chance that whatever you do can be traced back to you. good luck!
just saw this. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8c52/?cpg=cj buy a couple and hide them all over her room.
After letting the thoughts soak in some Stella last night, I got my groove back and have simmered down on the subject. Above is what I'm exactly thinking but you're right leroy....if I take the computer, it will have the effect of dropping a nuclear bomb on her lifestyle. And with her atitude, anger and lack of respect for just about anyone nowadays, it could get ugly...for me just taking the computer. My plan....I think I'm gonna let things die down and wait till she gets a new job. Once she has a job, keep in contact with collections agency to see if she does make payments. If so, I drop it and move on. If not, I take the computer without warning....a complete surprise to her since she will think I have forgotten about the subject by letting things die down. Also, I'm disappointed in you guys....still no photoshops yet. C'mon, i know she's perfect and all, but surely someone could come up with something wicked. They say "laughter cures all." I was hoping to get some of that with this thread....

Dude - just put on your robe and wizard hat and then the ideas will come flooding to you! Seriously, I agree with leroy, HOOP, and Dubious. I would never co-sign for anyone that I could not trust 100%.
Nothing says family like revenge on your sister. I remember this time when I was 9 and my little sister took some of my candy without asking. I was so mad that I had all of her Barbie dolls commit suicide and each one of them left a tiny little suicide note. She has never been the same and never took my candy again.
