Sweet revenge: Here's how people got back at jerks who messed with their laundry

Welcome to the Olympics of how to destroy clothing in the messiest possible way. It all started when one college student shared their story of an inconsiderate person at their college. While the OP's laundry was in the dryer, someone else took it out and put their own clothing in! The OP found their clothes in a soggy pile, and knew they had to get revenge on the person who decided to cut the line and dry their belongings first. After they shared their story to r/pettyrevenge, people in the com…

'He had no intention of going': Introvert is hurt that his BF didn't invite him on trip, BF says it 'doesn't make sense'

Although this couple has been together for a while, they seem to have some communication issues that need addressing.

'She refused to pay, and stopped answering my calls': Web designer creates website, pivots to malicious compliance after entitled owner won't pay the bill

This website designer took malicious compliance to a new level with this stunt. There's often a lack of appreciation for the arts, whether you're a painter, dancer, writer, or filmmaker. Even for this person, a web designer who created an entire website for a client, the task went unappreciated. As u/shady_emoji shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, they were a college student trying to make a few extra dollars when they accepted a gig designing a website . This client wanted her website to show off…

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

I don't blame this woman for airing out her family's business after what they did with her education funds. For most people, family comes before all else. You want your loved ones to be happy and thrive, and have all the tools they need to succeed in the world. It seems like this woman's great-aunt really wanted that for her own family. She specifically set aside money for the women in her family to get an education. The OP, u/Accomplished_Bar5656, writes that her aunt helped numerous members o…

'I was excited for the challenge': Professor receives schedule change, but two coworkers claim the professor 'shouldn't be teaching...those classes'

Who knew college professors could be so petty? One professor ended up in a malicious compliance situation after their coworkers tattled on them! Every professor has a different style of teaching. Some have been around for decades, and teach the same lesson plan every semester without fail. Others are newer to the job, and with many years of teaching ahead of them. At this college, in a story told by r/HeWhoMustNotBeNamed, a tenured teacher and a new teacher teamed up to blast the OP. It seems q…

‘Whose notes are these?’: Student finds loophole in professor’s open-note exam policy, shares notes with the whole class

Some professors are brilliant, some are generous, and others are egomaniacs. In this instance, we have a situation where the lattermost type was ruling over the classroom. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let’s just say that if you’ve ever had this type of professor in your lifetime, then you will understand this student’s vindication all too well. We’re talking about that professor who refuses to stick to the course material and spends all of class time bragging…

'I obviously submitted subpar work': College student proves professor wrong by following their own grading policy

Grading policies are meant to be followed; after all, that's all this student was doing! This college student had been performing well on all the previous assignments for a project and knew that the lowest grade would be dropped as that was what was written explicitly in the syllabus. Because of other upcoming finals, he had to make a tough decision and submit a subpar assignment (by subpar, we mean literally just the title page and a brief summary of the project) in order to prioritize the mor…

'She felt entitled to a "free" vacation?': Brother offers his sister a vacation if she babysits his kids, she says "absolutely not"

While on a family vacation , no one wants to worry about money. After all, the whole point of a vacation is to escape from reality for a little while, soak up the sun, and unwind. This man wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a vacation related question. As he describes, he and his husband, their two kids, and their sister in law, are planning an expensive trip to a resort. The price is so high that the OP's sister, Camila, was wondering if he could pay her way. Camila is a college student who's not w…

'I WILL do your project': Worst project partner ever tries to get student to do the whole thing, she does but ensures he fails

It's no secret that we hate group projects; they bring out the absolute worst in people. But I'd also argue that group projects are one of the few things schools assign that prepares you for the challenges you'll face for the rest of your life. Group projects are important for teaching the challenges of communicating with entitled individuals, doing your peer's work for them, being graded on others' lack of participation, and having others take credit for your work. All of which you'll repeated…

Everyone gets fired up over March Madness.

AITA: 'UNFAIR': Wealthy father stops bankrolling the college fund of his frivolous son, favoring his financially responsible daughter instead

If you've ever heard the tale of the prodigal son, you know that father's love their children no matter how financially irresponsible they are, but in reality, how far does that love go? Now, when you come from a rich family, that love is (unfortunately) quantifiable in the form of crisp dolla dolla bills. For some reason, rich children feel that they're entitled to the entirety of their parent's fortunes and don't ever realize the value.
