Customer enacts petty payback on barista for refusing to let him order off the kids menu: 'So you’d rather I not order anything [...] than give you business because of a silly rule?'

Customer enacts petty payback on barista for refusing to let him order off the kids menu: 'So you’d rather I not order anything [...] than give you business because of a silly rule?'

Why is the kids menu always the best? There should not be an age restriction for eating tater tots, chicken tenders, and pigs in a blanket. Those are objectively great-tasting dishes that all humans are entitled to enjoy, and yet, in this instance , we have a coffee shop that denied service to an adult customer simply because he wanted an item on the kids menu. Look, one might assume that there are more important issues than a 29-year-old adult getting denied the right to a bagel because of his…

Entitled kid kicks back of passenger's seat on red-eye flight, cue petty payback: 'Have a nice flight!'

Red-eye flights can be brutal, especially if you have a kid kicking the back of your seat and making your experience all the more difficult. When you're getting on a long flight and hoping for at least a good hour of sleep, the likelihood of a smooth, relaxing experience all comes down to your immediate surroundings. Are you stuck in the middle of two inconsiderate strangers? Are you next to a strange and overly talkative person? Is there a screaming child? Here, we have a passenger who was, at…

'Don't play with me': Employee almost gets fired because of coworker's sabotage, gets even by getting him fired instead

Have you ever had a coworker who seemingly will stop at nothing to get you fired? Before we get into this story of how an employee managed to save themselves from getting unfairly dismissed by instead getting their work nemesis fired first, let's unpack how these kinds of work rivalries happen. Most of the time, like most elements of a work environment, it all comes from the top down. If the system is built upon a foundation of unhealthy competition, that will almost never fare well for employe…

Neighbor gets back at entitled Karen for tossing smelly, unbagged food in her trash: 'I literally dumped the entire can out'

Getting back at one's neighbor is always tricky. One's actions must be passive-aggressive enough for one's annoying nuisance of a neighbor to get the picture, but one's action must also not be so dire that it starts the kind of all-out conflict that could end grimly for all parties involved. Here, we have a neighbor who started to notice that the Karen next door was dumping trash into the Redditor's trash bin. Of course, the first offense could be interpreted as a one-time thing, but once it st…

Student glues classroom door shut and locks teacher inside as payback for unfair treatment all semester: 'The fire department had to come to free him'

Everyone has that one teacher who gave them a hard time in high school. If life were a movie, there would be some sort of inspirational and emotional arc to that teacher where the two of you come to understand, appreciate, and respect one another. However, in reality, there usually isn't much of an arc at all. Most of the time, the two of you end the year still resenting one another. The only real ending is one of you leaving the school and no longer being a part of one another's lives. This th…

Woman replaces shampoo with vinegar to figure out which roommate is using her products: 'I called them out'

Sharing may be caring, but using without permission is cause for petty revenge… Sure, roommates share things all the time but those items are usually agreed upon by both parties. It's not even about being possessive of one's belongings; it's financial as well. If you and your roommate share groceries, then the cost for groceries should be split evenly amongst everyone in the household. Some of you are probably wondering why this needs to be addressed, but you'd be surprised how many entitled ro…

'I shut my mouth and planned my revenge': Controller discovers they're being underpaid while boss brings on wife as overpaid consultant

For this worker, the only thing more infuriating than being underpaid was finding out that others were making much, much more money. In case no one's told you lately, you should discuss your salary with your coworkers. Even when—no, especially when—it's very awkward, you should still bring it up politely. You and your coworkers may benefit from it. If you all know what you're making, you have the ability to question your bosses about your value to the company compared to others. Higher-ups don'…

Tenants feud with former landlord for withholding security deposit, they collect the full amount plus interest and fees: 'Needless to say, we are very happy with the outcome'

Landlords really do not seem to care about leaning into the parody versions of themselves. Every summer, I cringe at the lease renewal process that I have to undergo in order to argue my way out of a ridiculous rent increase. The worst part of it all is that most landlords I have had to interact with are not even savvy negotiators, yet the desperation to not have to move always ends up taking over. Here, we have a couple of tenants who were specifically told by their landlord that he would be d…

Entitled couple parks in front of neighbor's driveway, neighbor dumps gravel all over their car: 'I didn't stop until they left'

Sometimes, the only way to get through to someone is by demanding their attention. Entitled folks aren't necessarily deriving joy and pleasure from walking all over others; in many instances, these people have such little self-awareness that they are not even aware that they are causing you trouble. In these scenarios, you can try to reason with these people through words and explanations, but nine times out of ten, that will not be enough. The only way to demonstrate to entitled people like th…
