Contract work is for people with thick skin — just ask this person, who had to fight to get paid for their work . There's a reason freelance work has a reputation for being more effort than it's worth. It's clients like the woman in this story who make the job pretty thankless. U/No_Concept_9848 told this workplace story to r/MaliciousCompliance. As they wrote, they took on a job creating a brand new website for a client and her husband. They ran a frozen yogurt business and were looking to hav…

HOA's are a pain in the rear. The idea of an HOA is great– have a collection of live-in leaders get together once a month to improve the building and the property they live in– but nowadays they rarely operate like that. In fact, HOA's are so useless that they can't even do simple upkeep without first lining their pockets for profit. One man decided to take a stand against a crummy HOA board by taking the most epic petty revenge of all time.

I don't blame this woman for airing out her family's business after what they did with her education funds. For most people, family comes before all else. You want your loved ones to be happy and thrive, and have all the tools they need to succeed in the world. It seems like this woman's great-aunt really wanted that for her own family. She specifically set aside money for the women in her family to get an education. The OP, u/Accomplished_Bar5656, writes that her aunt helped numerous members o…

The determination of this guy is genuinely inspiring.

This is real pettiness. After a “ big fight, " these two roommates have stepped into new territory.

One guy tried to do the right thing in the aftermath of a car crash, but he ended up catching a shady dude in a legal trap. As u/bigcapper69 shared to r/ProRevenge, he got in a bit of a fender bender one night, and hit the mirror and door of another man's vehicle. This dude, Brent, seemed cool about the accident at first. Brent suggested they avoid insurance , which the OP agreed to. However, the OP was no dope. After not hearing any word from Brent, suddenly he demands about $2,400! The OP did…

This is going to be the most expensive mistake this teen ever made after her aunt considers suing her! On a throwaway account, this woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with an important question regarding a family matter. As the OP writes, she married into a wealthy family who shower her with expensive presents . One of those happens to be a coat worth over $20,000! The OP writes that originally, she was hesitant to wear it after finding out how pricey the garment was. Apparently she had a premoniti…

One person wrote, “Please, ban telemarketing,” in this thread of irritating legal things people hope will be illegal soon.

This intern wasn't afraid to burn bridges after his boss fired him out of nowhere! Internships can be truly grueling. Regardless of what industry you're in, as an intern, you can expect to be doing the jobs no one else wants to do, popping out to get coffee for the employees, and even working extra hours. You're supposed to gain career experience , and maybe even gain a job as a result. But in actuality, companies almost never end up hiring interns, and they often don't bother to pay them for t…

The reason this dude refuses to take his personal website down is actually pretty reasonable — but not to the officials in his touristy town. This guy has been through an insane amount of stuff in his life, as he shared to r/AmItheA**hole. It all started when he got arrested in front of all his coworkers , which he calls the most embarressing moment of his life, for a crime he didn't commit. Still, the OP spent nearly two months in prison, and lost his entire life because of it. His son was tak…

Ah, landlords: you can't live without 'em!

While some people may see an inconvenience as a problem, others see it as an opportunity to get back at their terrible neighbors. One person held this attitude, and it certainly got her far in terms of petty revenge. She lived next to an older couple, who lived above their car restoration business (this part is relevant because their business was fronted right on the sidewalk, running the entire length and width of their property). The thing was, their garage door was in the middle of the front…

One person wondered if they were at fault for the full cost of a new MacBook after breaking their friend's computer.

Parking permits: the bane of many people's existence, especially this unfortunate nurse.

This guy asked if he's in the wrong for a decade-old family mistake that his BIL just can't put behind him. He's crazy for even asking that! As the OP shared to r/AmItheA******, there was an incident that took place about a decade prior, but which has rippled out into the current day, since his brother in law will not forgive and forget the situation. The OP wrote that the BIL is a construction worker, and while he was away, the OP and his father borrowed some pricey equipment . Like, thousands…

What are you to do when you purchase something only to have the terms of sale retroactively changed by a governing association? Oh, and that governing association is controlled by the organization that sold you the thing in the first place. Well, lawyer up and hit them with a strongly worded email letting them know just angry you are. After a three-year hiatus, this landowner returned to share the grippingly realistic tale of how they managed to defeat a land developer and HOA who had changed t…
