petty

Love is a dangerous chemical. It drives people to absolute insanity. Rationality has a tendency to be tossed right out the window when you find yourself blinded by those fiercely euphoric rose-colored glasses, and willing to do pretty much everything to keep the love alive. And then oh boy, when that very love runs its natural course, things flicker out, and then the other feelings start to bubble to the surface. That's when the pettiness can really come out to play. So, it's no wonder that lawyers end up encountering some wildly petty scenarios between ex lovers that decided to call it quits. 

There really is no substitute for living next to someone you hate. Having a horrible neighbor is something that can take over your life and consume your sanity. Like, they're right over there. All the time. And whether they're throwing their dog's crap over the fence or mowing their lawn at 3 in the morning, people often come to the conclusion that something must be done. Here's an irrational neighbor who demanded nutless baklava and a mean old neighbor who got her rightful comeuppance.

Sure, everyone has their off days, and sometimes people end up hitting breaking points where they just need a mental health day. That still doesn't excuse being a complete monster to another human being, who didn't do anything to you. It sounds like this manager had a whole lot of nasty business boiling underneath the surface. The reaction did absolutely not fit the "crime." Life happens. People are late. Plans are ever vulnerable to falling apart in a reality that by its very nature is completely spontaneous. Good on this employee for standing up for themselves. For some more manager drama check out this incompetent manager who suspended an employee, and then still expected them at their shift. 

A well executed petty revenge can serve as its own kind of art form. It takes planning, rascality, and enough presence to pull off the dang thing when it all gets down to it. But oh boy, the level of satisfaction that can come from a successful petty revenge is otherworldly. For a moment you very well might feel like you've finally got that fulfillment that your life was otherwise lacking. If you don't take the petty revenge too far, you might actually manage to not be haunted by guilt as well.

This isn't the first time that we've seen some beef break out in a parking lot over someone's inability to be a reasonable human being, and simply move their car out of the way. We're sure that it won't be the last time we see it either. In this case though, the customer clearly messed with the wrong dude. Just picturing the look of panicked wonder that must've flashed across this dude's face when he saw the ramifications of what he'd done. Oh boy. For another petty revenge-inspired parking lot drama check out this post about a parking lot bully who sniped a driver's parking space, and then the petty revenge that ensued. 

It's stories like these that should serve as an effective reminder that mistreating those around you can end up having all kinds of unexpected, brutal implications further on down the road. Like, for instance, it sounds as if the leader of a terribly toxic pack of this woman's old coworkers ended up getting her comeuppance later when she needed a new job, and had to get the green light from the very person that she bullied. Being able to serve up some of that karmic justice would put a spring in just about anyone's step. 

If you get a job in the service industry it's not totally out of the question that you might encounter some testy characters that are determined to make everyone else's lives a bit more miserable and uncomfortable, simply because they absolutely despise their own jobs. You can develop quite the thick skin, and spicy banter to boot, if you work long enough in the industry. You learn how to let the infuriating interactions with entitled customers not totally get to you, while you juggle various rare insults from your fellow coworkers. It can be quite the scene. It sounds like these dudes were eventually able to squash their beef and some kind of friendship developed as a result. 

Man oh man, this guy was his own worst enemy from the very start. Some of the world's more egotistical individuals end up going on to engineer their own failures. It seems like this guy was in the prime position to learn his lesson. Can't imagine what the look on his face must've been. 

It's AskReddit threads like the one we have here that can remind you that there are a whole lot of people out there being proactively stressed out, frustrated, and straight up angered by the very same things that make you tick. It could be those moments when folks comment on the food that you're eating, or perhaps it's the people that leave cooking time on the microwave instead of clearing it. You'll likely connect with at least one of these petty pet peeves. 

Parking lots effortlessly bring out people's nastiest sides. There's just something about the way that so many people operate in this world, where it amounts to them turning into completely frantic animals when it comes time to exercise just a little bit of social decency while navigating a parking lot. Maybe you'll end up taking a note out of these people's books for the next time you find yourself confronting a parking lot bully, and ready to enact a petty revenge to "make things right." 

Clearly, sometimes, folks just aren't meant to be together. It would seem that these two are undeniably in that boat. So, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're dealing with the grim reality of having a mail-stealing ex, you might just find yourself inclined to fight back against their BS by using some fake mail. 

Parking lots can effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. Everyone can get so caught up in what's going on in their day, perhaps in a big old rush, that they end up momentarily sacrificing common social ettiquette. Maybe you've already experienced an unfortunate parking lot drama or two in your time. Kudos goes to this person for the way that they ended up handling their own parking lot fiasco. 

Who knows what goes through the mind of a manager who would rather have their employees spend all their time reporting on their work than actually working. This employee saw right through it and came up with a plan to show them exactly how dumb the new policy was. For another incompetent boss, here's a manager who suspended an employee and expected them at their next shift.

Man, the nerve of someone who actually goes through with repeatedly stealing their coworker's lunches is kind of unfathomable. The level of disrespect, blinding selfishness, and delusional entitlement is enough to get most anyone's blood boiling. It sounds like Karen's coworker in this scenario hit their breaking point. Thus, the petty revenge was swift and critically effective. For some more glorious Karen drama, check out the time that a savvy customer accused Karen of being a manager.
