'You started this': Guy spreads seafood all over his Dad's girlfriend's car after she dumps seafood in his house

'You started this': Guy spreads seafood all over his Dad's girlfriend's car after she dumps seafood in his house

Some forms of petty revenge are subtle, some are overt, and others are fishy. This story very much falls in the lattermost category… First of all, we all know what happens when you cook seafood. Unless you clean your kitchen and throw out your trash pretty much as soon as you're done eating, your place is going to stink . Well, this Redditor had to experience this awful stench not because he messed up but because his Dad's girlfriend was being petty. While OP was out of town over a three-day we…

‘This is your job now': Car dealership manager sends worker to deliver paperwork, despite lack of approval by higher-ups; customer CCs whole department on matter

‘This is your job now': Car dealership manager sends worker to deliver paperwork, despite lack of approval by higher-ups; customer CCs whole department on matter

Customers rarely have our backs, but when you find a way to get them to complain without exposing what is happening in the background work-wise, you have struck gold. Just because somebody is working, does not mean they want to work. Moreover, it would probably be best if they didn't work at all, seeing as they can't even do one simple job right. Who am I going on about? Well, let's call him Jim. Jim was the OP's coworker, who happened to be a manager at the car dealership OP worked at. Jim was…

'Ma'am, we have it on camera': Guy seeks justice for hit and run accident using security camera footage and social media

This guy's car got hit, and instead of leaving her insurance information, the other driver just drove off. This guy was forced to solve the mystery of who did a hit and run to his car. As he shared in a series of videos, he caught the culprit on video. Ian Leveton shared that he caught the accident on a surveillance camera. You can see a vehicle drive past his car and hit it on the driver's side. The car lurches forward, but the other driver speeds away as if she didn't just cause hundreds of d…

‘I reported him to HOA until he moved': Resident devises 4-month plan to get back at pesky neighbor; after getting fined by HOA, neighbor moves out

‘I reported him to HOA until he moved': Resident devises 4-month plan to get back at pesky neighbor; after getting fined by HOA, neighbor moves out

The long game of revenge requires a lot of patience, so unless you are truly up for it, don't bother undertaking such a commitment. I'd expect you would have some pretty high expectations when moving into a house. Everything is always pink, rosy, shiny and new, before it turns grey, bitter, old and then black. You want the place to be nice, the street to be quiet, the neighbors to be invisible. Is that so much to ask, when paying the amount you need in order to pay for an actual house nowadays?…

'She had an absolute meltdown': Flatmate moves out of state with college roommate's wallet stashed in car, then tosses wallet into trash

'She had an absolute meltdown': Flatmate moves out of state with college roommate's wallet stashed in car, then tosses wallet into trash

When faced with an arduous situation, do you cave and give in to an easy solution, or do you stand up, tough as nails, and return fire? The arduous situation in question, from OP's point of view, is that she was about to get caught stealing all the other roommates' stuff. And she had a total meltdown. But let's start from the beginning. As this story is told by u/CharmingUniversity98's point of view, we shall start there. Many years ago, back when OP was in college, they lived with 4 roommates.…

'It was one of the most epic epiphanies of his angry life': Guy finds a ding on ‘his’ car, destroys the identical model parked next to it as revenge before realizing he was beating up his own car

They say that guys who are obsessed with cars are the male equivalent of a horse girl. Obsessed with something that's taken over their whole personality, car guys are often a little too protective of their vehicles, which can lead to some spicy parking lot altercations. In this story, one car guy shot himself in the foot (big time) when he misidentified his precious vehicle.

‘You messed with the wrong neighbor’: Neighborhood middle school kids throw eggs at neighbor's car, neighbor drives egg-covered car to their parent's house to get even

‘You messed with the wrong neighbor’: Neighborhood middle school kids throw eggs at neighbor's car, neighbor drives egg-covered car to their parent's house to get even

‘Kids these days’ is a saying that has been used for centuries to describe the younger generation, who have some serious courage (more than I ever had, to be sure). Kids don't really get the implications of their actions unless they are taught a lesson, and that lesson can come in all shapes and forms. Good parenting is critical to solving recurring issues, such as the one I am about to tell, and luckily the dad in the story understood the assignment. OP began his tale by explaining how two kid…

‘I graciously helped myself to half a freezer's worth of meat': Resident uses power outage during storm to get back at outdoorsy neighbor after paying out of pocket for car repair

‘I graciously helped myself to half a freezer's worth of meat': Resident uses power outage during storm to get back at outdoorsy neighbor after paying out of pocket for car repair

A storm can be your ally if you play your cards right. To be fair, there probably won't be many opportunities to use a storm to your advantage, but never say never. One person, u/Valladian, stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back at his neighbor, who had committed the very non-neighborly act of denting in OP's car, and then denying he had anything to do with it. See, this neighbor, who for the sake of the story we'll call Chester, had a Jeep, which he used frequently for camp…

'I called... to tell him the great news, and he loses it': Service advisor tells customer about cheap fix for his car, he insists on an expensive new fuel pump

'I called... to tell him the great news, and he loses it': Service advisor tells customer about cheap fix for his car, he insists on an expensive new fuel pump

Car owners have immense pride over their precious vehicles. People who are into cars get so invested in the details that make their automobile shine, from shiny rims to blackout windows. All of these extras don't come cheap, but for lots of people, their car is their favorite hobby, and they'll pour hundreds or thousands into making it look the best it can be. This person also took a lot of pride in his car , but it's less about love for his vehicle, and more about him thinking he can never be…

'Throw out your own trash': Guy finds dude's trash bags on his pickup truck, gets even by dumping it inside dude's car

'Throw out your own trash': Guy finds dude's trash bags on his pickup truck, gets even by dumping them inside dude's car

Does anyone else who drives a pickup truck also have to deal with this nonsense? Because this driver seems to frequently get his vehicle confused with some kind of communal dumpster. And no, it's not like there's some misleading design on his pickup truck that would seem to suggest it belongs to a garbage company. For whatever reason, the image of the pickup truck alone seems to conjure the idea of trash in many people's minds. So here's what happened to this driver, who shared his story via th…

'We eventually found out what Grandpa Kevin had done': Grandfather tries to bond with grandchild, accidentally ruins car's entire brake system

'We eventually found out what Grandpa Kevin had done': Grandfather tries to bond with grandchild, accidentally ruins car's entire brake system

In the same way you can't eat at just anyone's home, you can't let just anyone fix up your car . That's the lesson u/Muchacho1994 learned after letting their grandfather check out their 2005 Chevy Malibu. Spending time with devoted grandparents is the best. They just want to spoil their grandkiddies with presents and food and hugs. It's easy when your grandkids are very young and eager to play with their grandparents. As the kids get older, you have to find new things to bond over, such as a ne…

'Comply with your own covenants, then': HOA president sends entire neighborhood notices for violations; one resident flips the script

'Comply with your own covenants, then': HOA president sends entire neighborhood notices for violations; one resident flips the script

Housing communities are continuously getting more and more infamous for the unfair, ridiculous rules they enforce, yet ironically, don't apply to themselves. The head of HOA, also known as 'President', gets to write all the rules along with the rest of the board, usually making sure that the rules are in compliance with his or her own personal preferences. I was flabbergasted to read that an HOA president took it upon himself to drive all around u/smocky13's neighborhood, looking to see whose g…

'I've never felt greater satisfaction': Guy gets back at a bad driver by tricking him into going 50mph over the speed limit directly in front of a police speed trap

Road rage is a pretty common emotion to feel when you're driving on the freeway. Contrarily, ‘road vindication’ is something seldom seen and for frequent road ragers, but it certainly would be nice to see some of the bad drivers and muppets you see behind the wheel get a little justice handed to them every now and then. Imagine if every tailgater, swerving, Fast & Furious wannabe got exactly what they deserved right in front of you eyes?

'They say it's lowering property values': Homeowners share their worst HOA horror stories

No matter how gorgeous the house is, be careful getting a place where HOAs rule the land. These people are sharing their own cautionary tales in this video below. HOAs, which stands for Home Owner's Associations, are groups of elected individuals who make rules to keep a neighborhood looking its best. However, these can quickly get out of hand. Instead of making common sense rules or helping people in need, HOAs seem to basically exist to make a home owner's life a living nightmare. Once you se…

'I do not have to have a driver's license to drive a vehicle': Karen gets stopped by officer in Florida, refuses to show her license

'I do not have to have a driver's license to drive a vehicle': Karen gets stopped by officer in Florida, refuses to show her license

Some people never seem to understand that rules apply to them. It's as if they were never told “no” as a child and have since created some sort of warped alternative reality where their own rules are law and nothing else matters. In some ways, one might seem envious of this way of life. However, it's all fine and good until an authority figure reminds you that this is not La La Land. This is the real world, and in the real world, you need to have a driver's license in order to drive a car. We k…
