Every business owner had to deal at least once in their career with clients who disappeared without paying for the service they got. Some cases end with a happy ending, with the owner managing to find the client and get them to pay, but other cases remain unsolved, which means the owner never receives the money they were owed. This leads some business owners to find other ways to get back their money's worth, even if it means unleashing their most petty selves. Much like the owner in this Reddi…

Sometimes, the only way to teach someone a lesson is by blocking them into the parking spot they stole from you and refusing to let them leave. This isn't an ideal scenario, but neither was having your officially designated parking space taken from you. This Redditor came home from work only to find a car in his one parking spot. That car turned out to belong to his neighbor's friend, who was visiting for the evening. This gave the Redditor plenty of opportunity to keep the friend from leaving…

If you've ever had your personal information stolen, you know it can be really frightening. Not to mention inconvenient. There are so many calls you have to make - filing a report, straightening out which payments are fraudulent, getting a new credit card, etcetera. Not to mention, it can be an extremely lengthy process, too. So that's why if you were ever a fraud victim, you know this man is a true hero.

Imagine having the audacity to throw a temper tantrum at your neighbor for using your electricity after he did it to mow your lawn. For the full context, this dude shared a duplex with his aggressive Karen neighbor and had decided to mow the lawn once the grass was overgrown and overdue. After taking care of his half of the lawn, he thought it would be kind (and aesthetically appealing) to mow the other half of the lawn, which belonged to the Karen. She never enjoyed upkeep, anyway. Well, in or…

Everyone dreams of the day their annoying neighbor moves out, but not that many people get the opportunity to make that moving process a living nightmare. This resident of a two-condo home had a ton of friction with the downstairs neighbors, who tended to shirk their collective responsibilities. This naturally led to a ton of resentment from the resident upstairs, who recently learned they were planning to sell their condominium. The resident knew his neighbors would likely make life more diffi…

Using an ex's discount for two entire years without their knowledge is perhaps the best kind of revenge. Firstly, it's quiet. Secondly, no one is getting hurt. Finally, not only are you getting the emotional fulfillment and satisfaction of achieving payback, but you're also spending less money in the process. If that's not a two-for-one situation, I don't know what is. Here , we have a lady who frequently drives her step-kids to and from her husband's ex-wife's town to take them to school. The…

Never mess with an engineer! Having an engineer for a neighbor can be very useful in the right circumstances, but if you manage to frustrate them, things can backfire in unexpected ways. Here, we have a retired father who confessed to his kid about all the acts of petty revenge he has enacted on his difficult, noisy neighbors next door after they started hosting loud pool parties on weeknights regularly. Some of this pettiness ranges from launching debris over the property line to planting tree…

Finally, a bad manager getting the karma he deserves. This manager made such a wrong call that he nearly cost the company 200 thousand dollars. Ouch. At the company, a particular manager is a real stickler for the rules and has always had it out for one particular employee. After firing him under trivial circumstances, what the manager didn't know was that this employee was responsible for a very expensive piece of software for which he was the only one at the company with a license to. Well, w…

In a battle of wits, the smartest player comes out on top. Unfortunately, when you're dealing with an HOA, the rules are skewed to their advantage and simple smarts are not usually enough to defeat them.

When you are planning a wedding, finalizing the guest list can seem like an impossible task. As much as you'd like to invite everyone you can, financially, your bank account might not allow that. And then there are all of the plus ones, too. You can't deny every guest a plus one, even if you don't really know their date. It's customary, even though no one wants to spend their big day with people whom they don't know or want to be there. But what this entitled bride did was next level.

Some people just need a wake-up call

There is nothing like a feud between roommates over apartment temperature. No matter what stage of life you're in, you may very well find yourself living with someone who has a very different conception of appropriate inside temperature than you do. For instance, I am someone who needs a strong A/C on at night, and this proves to be an issue whenever I have to stay with my parents. This is primarily because my mother is petrified of breaking the A/C, so she copes by never using it even if there…

For some reason, there's a log of predatory landlords going on in and around universities. Something about the melting pot of higher-density areas, where tens of thousands of desperate students are vying for limited accommodation. The entire system further holds student tenants hostage based on the fact that they need references from previous landlords to get accommodation for the upcoming year. The problem is that, as a young student, you're very limited in your options for previous references…

Much like the neighbors in your own home, it is important to have a good relationship with the neighbors in your place of work. Usually, those neighbors are other companies that reside in the same office building as your company, but some people have to deal with rather unexpected kinds of neighbors that are hard to come by. Imagine having a chemical plant as your work neighbor. Think about all the things you would have to deal with when sharing a neighborhood with a plant that deals with chemi…

There's nothing like a nice, peaceful drive on the road being upended by another annoying, entitled driver who thinks that their busy schedule is more significant than everyone else's. It's these unique individuals that can make one of the more solitary and restful activities for some folks unbearable. Personally speaking, I am not one of the individuals who thinks driving is a peaceful activity, nor am I one of the individuals who enjoys engaging in aggressive behavior on the road. My conflict…

There is nothing worse than watching an unruly customer take their unnecessary frustrations out on an innocent server, as if it's part of their job to deal with abhorrent individuals. In short, it shouldn't be, and nine times out of ten, if you're a bystander in this situation, you can do more than stay out of the fray. Here, we have a kind Midwestern family who went out to a nice dinner at a local steakhouse. Their meal was practically ruined as a result of the family of Karens nearby, who mad…
