We love a good tale of a nasty manager getting theirs in the end. This particular manager sounds like a grade A bully. The manager exercised zero empathy for an employee going through a heartbreaking loss. On top of displaying zero human empathy, the manager proceeded to make the devastated employee's life miserable by blatantly targeting them for a whole bunch of nothing. Fortunately, the employee was able to get HR involved, and ultimately put together enough evidence that ultimately contributed toward the manager's ultimate downfall. 

Check out another glorious tale of revenge with these naive young business owners that foolishly fired the man with the patents.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about window cleaners' most memorable experiences on the job. For whatever reason, we have a knack for forgetting that people can peek through our windows if we don't have the blinds down. And on top of that, that certain buildings hire certain professionals to clean those windows. From there, it quickly becomes clear that so many of us can be complete animals when we think that nobody is watching. 

Man, oh, man, these tenants sound like a nightmare to deal with. The kudos definitely goes to the landlord here. The landlord handles the situation by listening to those malicious compliance chills, and using the very "professional" rules they asked the landlord to follow, to ultimately bring the tenants down. Even after the victory in the small claims court, the landlord exercises self control and doesn't rub it in their faces. Good for her. Love to see a situation where the landlord is actually being the nice human. 

It would be quite stellar to have a mute button handy every time someone toxic starting talking. In this case, this girl asks folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for turning off her hearing aids every time her nasty aunt starts talking. Based off the context she provided, it sounds like this decision to mute the aunt was well deserved. Plus, the aunt never bothered to learn sign language like the rest of the family! 

Those young business owners often think that they know everything. Well, this guy certainly humbled a couple naive business owners in the long run. On top of that, this guy's decision to introduce a design that would effectively ward off locker thieves was brilliant. There certainly was a period of time when so many of those lockers were way too easy for people to break into. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck stop and interstate employees' most bizarre stories from their days on the job. It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that those long, winding, dark roads are filled to the brim with all kinds of unexpected characters. Truck stop employees can really be put through the rounder. As will happen in these kinds of threads, we've got plenty of accounts from people that didn't work at truck stops, but were just passing through. That story about the mayfly hatch madness is something else. 

Kevin is a contender for the worst roommate of all time. Regardless of whether this story's real or not, the dude who shared it painted quite the picture. You've got a lazy and aimless roommate caught up in a terrible cycle of self-destructive gambling that ultimately manifests in him stealing, and being hunted down by some formidable loan sharks. If this is indeed a real story and they sent Kevin's old roommates that Christmas card with the money they were owed, that's sweeter than hot cocoa on Christmas Eve. 

Ah, yes, some wonderful, intentionally terrible life pro tips. Just the kind of life hacks that could end up getting you in some very hot water. Or, the kind of hacks that nobody with a half decent conscience could actually use. That being said, they are ridiculous and it does make one wonder, if there is some shameless scoundrel out there getting a leg up on life by using the shortcuts that nobody with a moral compass would dare use. 

This dude's girlfriend demanded that he get rid of his cat because cats eat and kill mice. Um, let's just sit back and let that sit for a second. Okay, moving forward, this girlfriend sat down with the guy and gave him just the kind of toxic ultimatum that screams, "this isn't going to work out." She said she couldn't see a future with him unless he gave up the cat. The cat was just doing cat things. It seems like she was just too afraid to end the relationship for her own personal reasons, more than anything else. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various bits of common sense that people seemed to learn later on in life. Some of us fall through the cracks, and are unknowingly trying to navigate a confusing life that could make just a bit more sense if we'd learned some of that "common sense" earlier. 

This wasn't petty at all. We're talking about someone with a major transgression that had the audacity to steal someone else's hard-earned research. Cheaters never win. It always catches up to them in the end. In this case, the ex-advisor gets rightfully exposed, and that goes on to cost her her job. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the wildest stunts that crazed customers pulled while test driving cars. Some people just want to take that shiny new car for a ride to see how fast it can go, or better yet, they're just looking for a free ride. 

Nothing is worse than crossing paths with an inconsiderate pack of neighbors that just won't quiet down. Fortunately, this guy was ready to take matters into his own hands, and ultimately engineered some sweet, blessed silence. 

When this woman had had enough of her PTA's drama-causing antics she proceeded to infiltrate their system and work her way through the ranks until she was in a place of effective power. From there she showed all that PTA's Karens who the real boss was. Basically, she dissolved the previous team and replaced it with one of her own. Job well done. 

Looks like this Master Sergeant got what he deserved. There's something too sweet about a military revenge. It could be the fact that these particular revenges incorporate a nice dose of malicious compliance. For some more military revenge gold check out this Staff Sergeant that micromanaged the logistics department getting a reality check in the best way.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most useless facts that they ever came across. So many of us are walking around with heads full of trivia tidbits that don't actually serve any purpose in the majority of our lives. Might as well pocket some of these the next time a conversation needs to be spiced up by some random information, or you're trying to win a game of trivia.
