'I made my coworkers’ favorite snacks disappear': Employee gets back at coworkers after getting constantly criticized and interrupted

'I made my coworkers’ favorite snacks disappear': Employee gets back at coworkers after getting constantly criticized and interrupted

When someone at work decides they don't like you for no reason, there usually is not much you can do to change their mind. You can try to reason with them or find common ground, but nine times out of ten, these are unreasonable people with a high school mentality. If they meet you with pettiness, sometimes the only thing you can do in return is to be petty right back. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/MercerAcolyte42 , who discovered her coworkers' complete distas…

Employees conspire against annoying coworker over CEO's attention: 'Four of us plant our computers in those magic four seats [next to the boss]'

Employees conspire against annoying coworker over CEO's attention: 'Four of us plant our computers in those magic four seats [next to the boss]'

Note to self: never be the person everyone rolls their eyes at in the office. We're talking about the person who says whatever the boss would like them to say and would throw someone else under the bus in a second if it meant they got extra points in the boss's book. We're talking about the guy who is always scheduling unnecessary meetings just to make it seem like he's busy. Going out of your way for brownie points may impress an egomaniac, but it's always how to annoy and frustrate your cowor…

'[She] was the absolute worst': Teacher embarrassed in front of entire class during satisfying guest presentation

Who didn't dream of seeing their least favorite teacher get their comeuppance? You may be 12 years old or you may be 42, but the truth of the matter is that no one forgets that one unnecessarily cruel teacher. This, of course, would be the so-called “educator” who didn't seem to enjoy any aspect of their job with the exception of disciplining children and asserting their power over their students. This would be that teacher who pre-judged you on Day One and who never let you prove yourself as a…

'You owe me...': Mother demands 18-year-old daughter pay her back $700,000 for expensive upbringing

Typically, parents want to give their kids everything they could possibly want—or, more precisely, everything they need to be successful and happy.

Terrible coworker is always late getting her nails done, employee gets payback: 'Have fun opening coins with those nails'

Terrible coworker is always late getting her nails done, employee gets payback: 'Have fun opening coins with those nails'

Having long nails can be a challenge at work. We mean absolutely no shade to those who choose to keep their nails long; in fact, we marvel at your ability to open doors, envelopes, and file cabinets with them. However, if you are also the type of coworker who frequently shirks their responsibilities and leaves your fellow employees to take on extra tasks, you'd be surprised to learn that your coworkers can use your long nails against you as this employee did. They shared their side of the story…

Mom gets back at cruel P.E. teacher for making kids run in the blistering heat: 'No one likes him!'

Mom gets back at cruel P.E. teacher for making kids run in the blistering heat: 'No one likes him!'

Everyone had an unnecessarily toxic gym teacher at one point in their schooling. Did they motivate you to be better about exercising? No. Did their cruel tactics build character in you? No. Were any of their methods productive besides helping you learn how to avoid the wrath of a bad person? Certainly not! Of course, there are effective gym teachers out there, but today, we are talking about the bad apples that need to be called out. So with that in mind, this post goes out to any of you who ha…

Update: Neighbors feud over 4cm of property: 'I'm going to make him replace his whole fence'

“We're talking 4cm [of property]," this neighbor explained, but the guy next door doesn't really care. Neighborhood feuds can be long-lasting affairs. This person knows that all too well, as they explained in two posts to r/pettyrevenge. A lot of their dispute stems from the fact that u/Sospuff's neighbor has an intimidating dog. You can tell these two have a long-standing beef because the neighbor trained his dog to bark at the OP's children! Now, when the kiddos head out to the yard to play,…

'This went on and on for weeks': Guy gets even with non-stop partying neighbors by hiding their extra keys

Guy gets even with non-stop partying neighbors by hiding their electric key: 'Two days later [...] they ran out of electricity'

Nine times out of ten, neighbors who call in noise complaints are usually the problem, but every so often that neighbor is in the right. You can usually tell when you read them recount their story if they are attempting to hide the crazy or if they truly are the voice of reason in the conflict. Here, we have a resident of an apartment building who allowed their new neighbors a grace period to make some noise for the move itself and for their housewarming party. However, as time progressed, it b…

'I scanned... every receipt I could find': Scorned divorcee sends three years worth of finance documents to lawyer's office by fax machine

This lawyer picked the wrong dude to pick on. One person shared an excellent tale of malicious compliance that they got on their divorce lawyer. You'd think as a divorce lawyer, you'd have a bit of decorum. People are going through some of the most difficult parts of a relationship, and now they're also having to get a lawyer involved as they split up everything they own. This person, u/FederalAnt9, found themself in a “heated divorce/custody battle,” and their ex's lawyer was prepared to go af…

'The girl downstairs is insane': Grad student gets back at petty Karen neighbor for nonstop noise complaints

If you have a Karen neighbor with a knack for making constant noise complaints, consider moving out of your place as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you try to reason with her; she won't be reasonable. It doesn't matter if you try to use furniture cups or to get a carpet; she will not budge. People like that simply cannot be appeased. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Laserskrivare , a graduate student who is rarely at home anyway. However, when she is at h…

HOA won't let guy plant sunflowers, he hires a lawyer and finds a loophole in their policy: 'This is America and I should be able to plant sunflowers'

This resident of an HOA neighborhood decided that the injustice he needed to fight was his right to plant sunflowers. We all have a purpose in life, and sometimes that purpose announces itself in the most unexpected ways. You might think your purpose is to fight for world peace, until your HOA demands that you get rid of the sunflowers you planted and then your true life goals come into focus. The HOA in question insisted that according to the resident's contract, he was forbidden to plant sunf…

Woman gets back at grumpy grandmother for going through her trash: 'She now seems to be leaving me alone!'

Living with your parents as an adult can be frustrating, but living with your crazy grandmother is a whole other story.

You are one of the lucky ones. Unfortunately, this woman cannot claim her roomie experience with granny to be a pleasant one.

'[I called] her fake quitting bluff': Karen threatens to quit, coworker throws impromptu retirement party, forcing her to actually resign

'[I called] her fake quitting bluff': Karen threatens to quit, coworker throws impromptu retirement party, forcing her to actually resign

Always be careful with what you tell your coworkers, especially if you're the office Karen. Even a small ounce of self-awareness would lead this office Karen (whose actual name is Agnes… even better) to realize that if she keeps threatening to quit, the concept of leaving will soon become a dangling carrot for everyone else. Eventually, her fake quitting shenanigans caught up with her, and one coworker decided to call her out. Well, they didn't exactly call her out. Instead, they informed every…

Condescending cop gives unjust parking ticket, woman calls his lieutenant and gets him reprimanded

This dude was clearly just filling a quota while operating on his superiority complex. It comes as no surprise that most parking tickets are nonsensical, and nine times out of ten, you do not get the opportunity to argue your way out of getting a ticket as it's being handed to you. Sure, you can contest a parking ticket after the fact, but even that is always a process . This young woman saw an officer give her parents' car and several other cars in the neighborhood tickets because of a tempora…
