'It ran out of fuel as I drove in': Man takes instructions literally and returns a rental car with no gas after being told to 'bring it back empty'

'It ran out of fuel as I drove in': Man takes instructions literally and returns a rental car with no gas after being told to 'bring it back empty'

Getting things for free doesn't mean that you're not paying for it in some way. That is especially true when it comes to rental cars. They always claim that you're getting “free miles” or “comped gas" or an “upgrade at no cost”, but somewhere in your contract, and somewhere on your bill, you're probably paying for it anyways.

I put a fake note on a Corvettes windshield that read "Sorry I hit your car, you probably won't even notice the damage" because it was taking up four spots.

'You probably won't even notice': Driver shares their solution for dealing with a parking spot hog

No one actually needs four whole parking spots for their car, but this guy certainly felt entitled to them! Searching for parking spaces is time consuming while making you feel silly at the same time. You have to do endless loops around the lot, trying to find just one singular spot to park your car . You may even think you see a spot, but as you pull up, you spot a smaller car has already claimed the spot. So you do another lap, and another, and so on… The only thing that would worsen the expe…

'If you don't pay your bills, you don't get to keep your stuff': Credit company serves as petty revenge messenger to man's cheating ex wife; they tow and repossess her car

Karma always seems to find a way, whether it's directly through a person you wrong, or in a roundabout kind of way that is a little less obvious. One man took to r/pettyrevenge to share the time his cheating ex-wife got her car repossessed and towed by a credit company that had been attempting to locate her for quite some time. He had married her young after she had gotten pregnant, and she had continuously cheated on him, to the point where he filed for divorce. In the divorce, she had asked f…

'No money back? We'll see about that': Guy gets even when dealership refuses to honor refund on faulty car

There's no worse result to shopping for a new car than getting stuck with a lemon from a shady dealership.

'Screw your HOA': Anarchist teens outsmart their neighborhood's contemptuous rules, mocking them by maliciously complying to their technicalities

HOA stands for “Horribly Obnoxious Association” and they're the group of prying Karen's and Kevin's that make up the most outrageous rules for the neighborhood, simply to lord themselves over everybody, bolstering their superiority complex. For some suburban neighborhoods, they're the gestapo waiting for inhabitants to make simple mistakes so that they can send them warnings and fines and petty paperwork to file.

My personal favorite fail here is the baby who walked right into wet concrete, while the baby's parent looks super exasperated.
