I won over $5,000 for in court after a car accident that I caused?

Man tries to pay a swindler for car accident damages, ends up getting professional-level revenge with the help of a lawyer

One guy tried to do the right thing in the aftermath of a car crash, but he ended up catching a shady dude in a legal trap. As u/bigcapper69 shared to r/ProRevenge, he got in a bit of a fender bender one night, and hit the mirror and door of another man's vehicle. This dude, Brent, seemed cool about the accident at first. Brent suggested they avoid insurance , which the OP agreed to. However, the OP was no dope. After not hearing any word from Brent, suddenly he demands about $2,400! The OP did…

'AITA for being Karen-ish with retail workers?': Customer flips out on retail workers after they ignore him for a half hour

After being ignored for over a half hour while shopping, this dude had a complete meltdown! While sharing his story to r/AmItheA**hole, this dude made sure to preface his story. He wrote that he's been around service workers his whole life, and worked service industry roles before, so he apparently knows what it's like to be in that line of work. However, he clearly forgot that when he went to a store and got ignored. The first red flag is that the OP thought he'd get great service inside a dea…

'Turned down three jobs for [this]': Worker shows up to their third day at new job to find the business has folded

Starting a new job can be as nerve-wracking as it is exciting. So many new doors open before you lead to new opportunities, which can bring a lot of uncertainty with it. Of course, those new doors won't lead anywhere at all if you show up on your third day to find them padlocked shut with a notice on the door… That's what happened to this poor job-seeker, Reddit user yelloworange01, who shared their experience in a post to the popular r/antiwork subreddit, a community that deals with all kinds…

'Ends up paying him double': Greedy business owner tries to scam IT guy, IT guy scams him right back

It's often said that you shouldn't meddle with things you don't understand and, by extension, you shouldn't mess with the people who handle the things that you don't understand either. If you've managed to get a contractor in to handle something you can't or aren't willing to do or understand, and they deliver on that product, you'd do your best to pay them the agreed price. After all, we've already established you don't understand that thing, so why are you so certain you've got the upper hand…

'And they think $7.25 an hour is a living wage': Local Florida restaurant hypocritically roasts people who take 'government handouts', while blatantly advertising their toxic work culture

Everything just hits different in Florida. Fondly known as the ‘penis of America’, Florida has proven that its mercurial population and DGAF approach to life can simply raw dog reality with no consequences. One local restaurant took that same Floridian spirit and has gone viral on Reddit through a post by a former patron, who shared a picture of an egregiously back-handed sign displayed in front of the business. Camellia Street Grill, a small local place in the heart of the Everglades, is obvio…

‘I Created a Business Out of Spite’ : Smart Dude’s Creative Revenge Against Demanding Neighbors Who Relentlessly Wreak Havoc On His Life

‘I Created a Business Out of Spite’ : Smart Dude’s Creative Revenge Against Demanding Neighbors Who Relentlessly Wreak Havoc On His Life

The audacity of some people has never failed to surprise me. Granted, my neighbors can wreak absolute chaos for no apparent reason (maybe they're bored?) but I'm speaking more generally. Whether you bump into a Karen at the supermarket when all you wanted to do was buy a couple of tomatoes for the pasta you were planning on making later on, to receiving brutally honest (and frankly, unasked for) comments on the street from people who may not be aware that they aren't exactly doing you a favor.…

'What he was committing was fraud and theft': Guy gets revenge on the worst customer ever, scams the scammer back

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… There are times in our lives when someone does us wrong; usually, the best thing you can do in that situation (and the thing you should do) is walk away. There are times, though, when an opportunity to even the scales presents itself that just can't be passed up, and you give in to your most basic instinct. That's what this games cabinet seller experienced when a customer, who had scammed them out of both payment and a cabinet, attempted to sel…

Boss told me at the last minute about "mandatory" overtime that he made up because he was mad two of my co-workers called off that day. I missed one day that week, first day in almost a year

'Clock out and go home then': Boss demands mandatory made-up overtime, fires worker and her boyfriend when she refuses

This vindictive a-hole of a boss saw fit to mandate surprise overtime when they came to the conclusion that their employees had missed too much work. Sure, it's understandable that they were feeling some stress and pressure while looking at the loss of man-hours for the week. There were probably some slumping numbers and unfinished tasks that were contributing to their impulse to pick up the phone. But, as adults and professionals, it's important that we control our impulses; there will always…

One day the field rep called because he didn’t like how we’d answered an email. Not that we hadn’t answered it, just that he didn’t like the manner in which it had been answered. After decades of dealing with this shipper, being micromanaged to that level was not something that we were interested in.

'You should fire us!.. Ok.': Freight company follows through on client's empty threat, calls their bluff and stops servicing them

There's a prevalent school of thought that prevails when it comes to client servicing: Do anything (and everything) possible to keep them happy and contracted; having worked in these sectors in the past, upper management never likes seeing a contract cancellation notice pass across their desk, even if that contract was costing the business money.

Some people don't deserve to be in business, unfortunately, these jerks' and bigots' ruthless business practices often make them more successful instead of causing them to fail. That is unless they're incredibly stupid or someone intervenes to put an end to them. Both of those things happened in this story as shared by an account manager, u/redditadmindumb87, to the r/prorevenge subreddit. In their story, they describe a terrible client of theirs who “was a royal PITA." He was racist and bigote…
