We all know that gender reveal parties can lead to wild results.

This friend group sounds utterly exhausting to be around. Friend groups can form at any point in life — during high school or college, at an activity you participate in, or even in the workplace. Friendships also evolve over time. Some people just start to rub you the wrong way, or you find that your differences have changed so much that you don't even have anything in common anymore. This person sounds like she's outgrowing her own friend group — they sound petty and exhausting to spend time w…

Some parking rules are ridiculous, but this guy very much got what he deserved.

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…

Anyone who has worked retail or otherwise dealt with customers knows all too well that customers generally will try anything and everything to get their way. This includes (but is not limited to) quoting irrelevant pieces of legislation, being generally aggressive, hurling insults, demanding a manager, and name-dropping the owner (or some other executive.) In the case of name-dropping, if you actually bother to bother the person whose name is being dropped, they'll usually have no idea who the…

Only someone who was born yesterday would mess with their business's safety inspector/auditor . This boss absolutely paid the price! This person wrote to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit with a great tale of workplace MC. As the OP explains it, they used to have lots of autonomy at their job as they conducted safety inspections, making sure everything was up to code. They were so good at their job that they reported right to the owner and his son. However, after getting a new boss , this job…

It's tax season, and we're all here again doing our civic duty to keep the government funded programs a rollin' for everyone who needs them in our community. That's how a society works, right? Well, sometimes rich people think that since they have all the money in the world to hire someone to find all the loopholes they can to avoid paying taxes, that they shouldn't have to pay those taxes. Well, who is that going to hurt? We'll tell you who, people in the community who aren't million or billio…

Imagine submitting a cover letter that is so well written and on point with calling out and solving the company's problems that you immediately get contacted by the company's lawyer and a frantic department head who demand to know where you got your information. Then, after all of that, you still don't get the job when they balk at your compensation request… Talk about a roller coaster! If you've ever wanted undeniable proof that you have the qualifications for a position and are generally skil…

There should be an immortal rule between bosses and employees on a team: always try to make each other look good.

Too many employers don't truly value their worker's contributions — or outwardly appear to in order to devalue and reduce the employee's self-worth and keep them underfoot. This strategy manifests itself as a weird employment form of “negging” (if you don't know what this is, consider yourself lucky) in which the employer/manager will attempt to reduce the employee's

Snow shoveling is a grueling task, and one that basically no one wants to do. On r/pettyrevenge , this OP shared their own tale of revenge, served cold, to an annoying neighbor . However, the commenters are completely split on who is wrong in this situation. Disputes with neighbors can be messy, especially when it comes to shared spaces like a parking lot or street parking. Plus, as some commenters pointed out, there are different sorts of rules depending on where you're from, and the severity…

This coworker just might be an infuriating genius!

When karma comes in the form of an email, office ears light up everywhere, as we all know what it feels like when you have solid, indisputable hard facts in the form of a digital piece of paper. An entitled employee was attempting to throw his coworker (OP) under the bus, emailing him about a contract that hadn't gotten out to a customer, and was way overdue. 6 months overdue, in fact. The entitled employee in question was an account manager, and OP worked in the contracting department. When OP…

It's common sense that if you (or your dependents) lose or break something that isn't yours, you should pay out of pocket to replace it, especially when that something is a $30,000 piece of jewelry that was stored out of reach in a place where your little goblins shouldn't have been in the first place. I wouldn't blame anyone related to this incident if they refused to let this parent and their children into their homes ever again. The Redditor, u/throwaway1846189, shared this story to Reddit's…

Should you ever stay in a job that tries to cut your pay ? This chef is unsure what to do, and they're rightfully stunned by the situation their workplace has put them in. In a post titled “ Advice wanted ,” this person explained that they're a Philadelphia-based chef working at small Irish pub. And, they wrote, the owners have been hiring the cheapest plumber they can find. Now, the owners have realized the pub isn't up to code in any way, and to cut costs, they're bringing the problem to thei…

There are infinite ways to parent a child, which means there are also infinite mistakes to be made.
