'Inconsiderate roommate wouldn't stop eating my food': Tenant gets even with entitled roommate by feeding him expired milk and raw eggs

This tenant's roommate had a habit of eating whatever he wanted in the communal refrigerator, especially when it wasn't his own food. He always had an excuse. He either didn't have enough time to do his own grocery shopping or he promised to pay the tenant back next tine. Well, after numerous instances, it became clear that this was an empty promise. The…

'I purposely picked all the wrong answers': Student sabotages cheater by feeding him incorrect answers, switches to correct ones when he's not looking

Most high-achieving students have had to deal with slackers in the class. They might ask for your input on a writing assignment, only to try to get you to write the entire essay for them. They might mooch off of your study guide. They might contribute next to nothing on a group project and attempt to take all the credit. And of course, they might look over your shoulder during a class test. Here, we have a student who understandably had enough of the slacker who sat next to him in class and rep…

'One day, I had enough of it...[I] typed four simple words': 20+ Petty people share their funniest moments of payback

Don't just get petty— get creative. Try to become so petty it strikes fear (or laughter) into the hearts of those around you. Become formidable and unchallenged by societal norms! Communication comes easily for some people, but for others it can be intimidating. Instead of asking for what they want, they'd rather use passive-aggressive behavior to get what they desire. In some cases, it's the safer option: you never know how a stranger might react to you asking them to switch seats with you on…

'Please send messages for me directly to me': Employee gets back at petty coworker by only pointing out his errors in the team's group chat

Group chat decorum can be a source of plenty of tension among teams in the workplace. Sometimes, people spam channels with far too many messages that end up only affecting one or two individuals. No one needs to be getting all those notifications. Then, there are folks who choose to take the opportunity to criticize someone else's work as an “example” rather than privately messaging them. Nine times out of ten, this is not actually about giving the whole team a worthwhile lesson. Instead, it's…

Best friend paints woman's entire apartment pink, woman gets payback by enlarging her friend's head in all her photos: 'She looks like a bobble head in every one'

Who else thinks the pink apartment is way worse? Clearly, these “besties” are not exactly the friendliest to one another because these pranks are far from innocent.

This isn't exactly the kind of prank that can be easily reversed. As a New Yorker, my immediate first thought was how is she going to g…
