'One day, I had enough of it...[I] typed four simple words': 20+ Petty people share their funniest moments of payback

Don't just get petty— get creative. Try to become so petty it strikes fear (or laughter) into the hearts of those around you. Become formidable and unchallenged by societal norms!

In some cases, it's the safer option: you never know how a stranger might react to you asking them to switch seats with you on…

'There's nothing I can do': Entitled customer demands employee personally deliver her groceries, employee refuses, leading to a dispute at the grocery store

Why is it so hard for customers to understand that sometimes there is simply no way for them to get their way? No, it is not because the 18-year-old employee wants to make your life difficult, and no, it is not out of spite, it is simply because places of work have rules and policies, and there is nothing they can do about it.
