A parking space can make or break your day. Because of this, there is no limit to the amount of effort one is ready to put in order to score a decent parking spot. Having said that, how would you react if someone tried to take over your parking spot? Would you fight to reclaim what is rightfully yours, or would you just accept defeat? The next story tells the tale of a displeased man who has had his parking space snatched away. For more than a year, the Original Poster (OP) has been parked in t…

People can get easily annoyed on flights, but some things are simply out of everyone's control. If you're stuck in the middle seat, people are going to have to use the bathroom and you will inevitably have to move. It's no one's fault; it's literally human nature. Similarly, if there is a baby on a plane, the baby is bound to get upset and cry. That's what babies do and it's not necessarily the parents' fault. You would be just like them in their situation, so keep that in mind before you start…

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…

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…

Usually, it's wise to have multiple persons capable of maintaining the continuity of the important areas of your organization. This means not having a single employee who knows essential company processes, secrets, codes, and passwords that can't otherwise be found, learned, or replicated by someone else. If you happen to have one of these workers in your organization or someone who is otherwise essential to the operation of your business, you will do well to treat them well. It would certainly…

Social media sites and communication apps are readily accessible. Oftentimes it feels impossible to keep up with them all. You may feel at times that you are unable to keep up with them all. Therefore, you might occasionally need to compartmentalize and determine what is more important and what can wait till later in order to be informed and not miss any important information. But in addition to the countless texts and emails you receive daily, what would happen if you started receiving dozens…

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…

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…

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…

“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,…

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…

Where is the logic in hiring someone for a job and then immediately ridiculing them and making them quit? Even if the manager can magically tell by the first couple of hours on the job that the new hire isn't a good fit, that still is not an excuse to treat them like they are worthless. That is why the manager in this Reddit story completely deserved what was coming for him. A new hire arrived at his job as a salesperson at a car lot, and while on training both the new hire and the manager felt…

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…

Living with your parents as an adult can be frustrating, but living with your crazy grandmother is a whole other story. Perhaps your grandparents are kind, lovely, respectful people, and you wouldn't run into any problems with them if they were your roommates. If that's you, congratulations! You are one of the lucky ones. Unfortunately, this woman cannot claim her roomie experience with granny to be a pleasant one. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/fairy_rat333 ,…

Any type of information is now readily available online. We can access any book, paper, article, or even blog we want with only one simple click of a button. Consequently, given how simple it is to access all of this information, one might assume that everyone—including you and me—would be more cautious about what we publish online. The following is the story of a frustrated tech firm customer support representative. The Original Poster (OP) describes a terrible boss from back in the early 2000…

A family is a place where you can always be yourself, imperfections and all. It's a secure haven. Nevertheless, every family has a unique set of issues that they would have rather kept private, especially in this day and age of social media, where one click may have a profound impact on someone's entire life. The story that follows is an account of a frustrated sister. The twenty-one-year-old Original Poster (OP) has made the decision to reconnect with her long-lost half-sister. To put things i…
