Step 1: Call your enemy out.
Before giving in to revenge, try telling your enemy exactly what it is that you want him to stop doing.
Stay calm and take control of the situation.Get specific with the person that hurt you.
Don't resort to name-calling and insults.
Tell him the exact incident that upset you.
Let him know how it made you feel, and that you'd like him to stop.Maybe your enemy happens to be someone you work with, or even your boss.
If this is the case, then you need to be especially careful with your wording.
Be clear and direct, and offer a solution to the issue.
It's important to assert yourself, but don't get aggressive.For example, say something like, "When you (insert problematic behavior), I feel (insert emotion)." If your boss is making jokes at your expense, ask to speak with him in private.
Tell him, "When you make jokes at my expense, I feel undervalued."You could also try saying something like, "I don't appreciate the way you make jokes at my expense.
I notice you only do this to me, and I'd like you to stop." -
Step 2: Come up with a witty comeback.

Observe the behavior of your enemy, and try making a comeback based on his actions.A comeback has to happen in the moment, so it can be difficult to practice.
Look up some videos of comedians dealing with hecklers to see some examples of good comebacks.

A famous example of a witty comeback comes from Dorothy Parker.
When confronted by a drunk man who said, "I can't bear fools," Dorothy Parker replied, "Apparently your mother could."
If talking hasn't worked and your enemy is still causing you stress, you might be thinking of pulling a prank on him.
