judge

What a splendid little example of calling someone's bluff. This landlord was completely unhelpful and thought their threat would let them illegally keep their tenant's security deposit. After getting caught lying in court, this tenant had their ex-landlord eating their stupid words. People sometimes win against their landlords, like this guy who got contractual revenge on his landlord or this person who staged a coup d'etat on their terrible landlord.

The idea here was the idea that "if your judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid." Here are people who were totally misjudged, or misjudged others. Sometimes this stuff sticks with you and still makes you mad. For some similar stories about pettier things, here's stuff adults are still salty about.

It sounds like these neighbors were just hoping for the day they'd get their fence burned down by some careless fool. They went ahead and tried to collect big time from this guy, and ultimately fund a trip to Hawaii. However, the judge's moral compass was intact, and they ended up walking out over $9K in debt. 

We're pretty sure these people know what they're getting themselves into when they send pictures of food to Gordon Ramsay, a celebrity chef known for having high standards and being mean. Some even troll him by making food that's extra terrible, just to see what he'll say. That said we're in no place to judge, we don't even eat half as well as some of these attempts.

Some of these methods are a mere inconvenience while others are life-shattering. This is spitefulness at its worst.
