Sure, this mother-in-law was petty, but this woman made it a whole lot worse.

It's all Netflix and no chill over here. In a hilarious act of petty revenge, this dude decided to troll his ex's Netflix account in order to mildly inconvenience her life and exact a little revenge on her for cheating on him all those years ago. That might just be the most surprising thing about this post, it's not as if they broke up yesterday; the user writes that she dumped him “A few years back,” which means he has been holding onto this desire to get even for some time. We've probably all…

This was not exactly the smoothest exit known to man...

When facing an irrational opponent, it's impossible to beat them with rational thought —You need to meet them on the groundless battlefields of baseless reasoning. Anyone who has met an obstinately incorrect opponent has probably learned this lesson — there is no winning, so you must lose together. That's exactly what this Reddit user, u/pappagall0, faced when they became lodged in debate with a storage company over the existence of a mysterious eighth box that the storage company insisted on c…

Some say the little white lies are necessary, others are disgusted by the “unprofessional” deception.

Don't worry, he was fine—but he still isn't sure the metaphorical lesson he learned from it…

Whatever happened to doing your own chores?

There's nothing more satisfying than watching the slow-motion train-wreck implosion of a deserving person destroying themself. This micromanaging boss was manipulated into doing exactly that when they tried to pick apart their own work, somehow without even recognizing that it was their own. As commenters have pointed out, doing shift work where the schedule was made by a different person every week would be absolutely maddening. There would be zero consistency with when you were scheduled, and…

This nosy neighbor can mind his own business!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you —at least in some situations. It doesn't take one long to come up with multiple instances where following this ethos to the letter would create some incredibly unfortunate situations. Well, when this guy was demoted and forced to work for a “micromanaging sociopath,” he decided to demote his workplace and automated his job with an AI; the work was still being done —but he didn't have to do it. Honestly, this still sounds like a win-win situation…

It's that Winnie the Pooh lifestyle

Some will make you laugh, others will make you think, and all will make you question why we work like this.

If you don't like these memes, bless yer heart.

Your first job in the service industry (or retail, I'd argue) is a formative experience. For most of us, it comes at that time in our life when earning some cash is a necessity: Maybe you've just graduated high school or college and need a job; maybe you're still in high school; maybe the career you thought you were going to have as an Olympic level athlete didn't quite work out, and now you have no idea what you're doing with your life. Ignoring the fact that the last example is oddly specific…

This worker found themself faced with pushback from their boss when they decided to take a leave of absence to spend time with their girlfriend, who is in hospice care with not much time left. After “a few weeks” off, their boss began repeatedly attempting to get them to come back, texting them 13 times in the course of a week, insisting that there was “no way” someone could be in hospice for that long. They go on to express in their original post (items #1-9) the pressure they felt, how their…

With this act of petty revenge, true balance was restored.
