It's always baffling when a house guest decides they can boss their host around. It takes a specific kind of entitled Karen-level audacity to suddenly act like you make the rules in a space that is clearly not yours. Well, this lady would come to regret trying to assert her authority in her friend's space. She started to criticize practically every choice her friend's partner made when it came time to serve their spaghetti dinner, a meal she did not make by the way. She insisted on using a “pro…

Go big or go home, as they say. Sometimes in life, you've got to aim high, swing for the stars, and try to have it all. No one knows that better than u/nosugarcoatings. You wouldn't want to get on her bad side, as you can check out in this absolutely bananas story of petty revenge . This woman shared that she was dating a guy who seemed great at first, but the further they got into their relationship, the more she realized he was lying to her and humiliating her. In hindsight, it's easy to wond…

It's difficult to avoid getting petty when you're leaving on bad terms with a roommate. Believe me, I have been there. You want to stuff the curtain rods with prawns. You want to sabotage their AC. You want to do all the things to make this person know they should never have tried to mess with you. That being said, the mature grown adult within you stops you from doing anything unforgivable. Instead, we just move on and peacefully coexist with your soon-to-be ex-roommate despite the urge to ena…

You'd think being the grocery store employee who hands out free samples of food would be a pretty sweet job. No retail job is safe from the crazy customers of the world. But there are few things more universally adored than free food. If you go to certain grocery stores on weekends or at certain hours, some provide free samples all over the store. You can walk between the aisles and sample what are usually the weirdest foods you can think of. I've sampled a strange brownie-flavored dessert humm…

Is there anything more frustrating than the incessant beeping of an alarm, especially when you can't seem to stop it? I vividly remember staying in an Airbnb when in the middle of the night, at 2:30 AM in the morning, an alarm started beeping out of nowhere. It was not a frightening one, like when there's an intruder. It was the soft but painfully annoying alarm that sounds when it's out of battery and you have to replace it. At first, you try to ignore the sound and go back to sleep, but then,…

Having a fully grown adult crash on your couch for weeks on end can be wildly frustrating. Sure, it's fine for a night or two. Maybe it's even fine for a week if the circumstances behind the situation have been rough. But if you live in a tiny apartment as is and this person becomes nothing more than an inconvenience, then Houston, we have a problem. Now, what about a couch surfer who stays with you for months and repeatedly trashes your place, only to leave a ton of their belongings behind aft…

Here's a friendly reminder to always count how much money they pay you before walking away. This pizza delivery driver learned that the hard way when after parting ways with a customer at a gas station, he realized the customer was $7 under and it was definitely not an accident. Thankfully, he had this dude's number. Of course, the guy did not pick up his phone, which totally confirms that he shortchanged the delivery driver on purpose. The best part about this driver, though, was his relentles…

Neighborly feuds are endlessly entertaining provided that you are watching them unfold from a distance. It's that strange dichotomy of wanting to hear all the drama without having to be an active participant in it. A friend of mine put it best when she said that drama where she has absolutely no personal stake is just the best kind of drama. That way, you have no bias and you can form whatever opinion you want to regarding the people involved. Furthermore, you know that whatever side you ultima…

Here's how not to be a choosing beggar, as illustrated by one mom who couldn't accept a good thing while she had it. As a child, getting to bounce on a trampoline is basically the best thing ever. It never gets old! If you go to a trampoline park, you and your friends can literally bounce off the walls (and all over the rest of the room). Having a trampoline at your house is the ideal scenario for kids, though. It means that you can run outside at any time and start jumping. You make up games a…

Some people have a knack for giving the worst gifts. For instance, when I turned 10, I received a fairly standard dictionary for my birthday. The following year, I received a pencil holder. Let's just say that one of my parents certainly falls into this category of individuals. As you grow older, you come to learn that this is not a big deal. Gift-giving is simply not everyone's love language. However, what's even worse than being a horrible gift-giver is trying to hide the fact that you're a h…

“Who let the dogs out” is not a question you want to be asking on public transport especially when those dogs are someone else's toes that they've decided to remove from their shoes and display proudly to all the other passengers.

People with common first and last names all deal with the issue that they have to share their names with a lot of other people around the globe. There must be thousands of people with names like John Smith or Mary Williams, and that can create a lot of issues. One of those issues is presented in this funny petty revenge story. OP (original poster), for years, has been dealing with a person, probably with the same name as her, trying to use her email account. That person doesn't really have acce…

It's easy to make enemies with startup bros. They're not exactly the most likable bunch of individuals. This so-called “CEO” spent way more energy stirring the pot with competitors than running an actual company, and it wound up biting him on the behind in the end. First, he lost a tech competition to an academic researcher and started sending a ton of mean-spirited messages. He even crashed the researcher's Zoom lecture to spam the comments. This was the final straw for the researcher, who dec…

Grandma really took the final opportunity she had to be petty. You have to hand it to this lady because she really stuck to her convictions until after the bitter end. Unfortunately, this Redditor's grandmother dealt with a ton of generational family issues and estranged relationships, but even with this drama, she took care of her troubled family members through it all. One of these family members, whom the Original Poster refers to as J, ran away from home yet kept asking granny for money eve…

Many entitled people walk through life thinking they're the main character of the universe without a single person calling them out on their nonsense. Sure, dealing with entitled people is a difficult endeavor. Why would you want to put yourself through that? Well, the truth of the matter is that it's better for humanity at large to knock these folks down a peg and remind them that they are in no way better than the rest of us. So with that in mind, it comes as no surprise to us that the local…

Would it surprise you to learn that the postal workers of the world are inclined to throw the packages around? If you’ve ever ordered something by mail, like literally even once, chances are you’ve gotten a package with some bent corners and scraped-up sides. Most companies do a pretty good job packing the products so that they can still get to you intact. They have to, because a lot of employees will sling those boxes around like they’re not full of precious cargo. If you did that job, though,…
