Sports fans can be fiercely loyal, especially when the stakes are high.

But one man’s obnoxious taunts during a World Series game pushed the wrong father-son duo to strike back quietly and with a pocketful of peanuts.

You’ll want to read on for this nutty story!

This one’s nuts!

I was lucky enough to attend the home stand games of a World Series.

But it didn’t take long for an annoying fan to rain on his parade.

There was a loudmouth fellow that celebrated very loudly at the initial pace the visitors were laying down.

He would turn around and yell obscene things about the local fans. This guy was alone. No friends.

But what he lacked in friends he made up for in obnoxiousness.

It was weird to watch him act like someone had provoked him as he yelled about us being inferior.

The first inning ends, and the home team comes out blasting runs—getting the crowd excited—and several people start talking crap to this guy, getting him so very excited.

This guy is in the seat directly in front of my dad and me.

Soon, his dad started exacting revenge on this loudmouth.

Dad did it first, and it was so casual I almost thought I didn’t see what I saw.

Dad was taking his peanut shells and depositing them in this guy’s hood that was hanging over the back of his seat.

I watched him do it four or five more times. He looks up and sees me and flashes me a wicked grin.

Then he started doing it too.

I joined. Slowly. Dropping each smashed peanut shell into the loudmouth’s hood.

We filled the majority of his hood as he sulked because his team never made a comeback that game.

Now for the grand finale.

At the end of the game, Dad says something rude to the guy.

Dude tells him to **** off and pulls his hood on.

Oh, it was so sweet. So petty and small—but so perfect.

Now this is a story to remember?

What did Reddit have to say?

Turns out great minds think alike!

Others only wish they could have dreamed up such revenge.

Good thing this guy didn’t have a peanut allergy.

Sometimes the pettiest victories are the most satisfying.

Serves him right for being such a loudmouth!
