Rental car company loses nearly $80,000,000 in business after trying to rip off a frequent customer for an extra $70: 'My company won't be renting from you again'

Much like the used car sales industry, the rental car biz can be a little shady. Like so many industries that take advantage of their customers being stranded, rental car companies are known to try and rip off their customers for every cent–however, one diligently vengeful traveling employee saw to it that his continued business was far more valuable than a tack-on fee.

Stylist confronts bride's mother after overhearing her gossiping in Spanish: 'I heard and understood the entire hour of her ripping me to shreds'

Sometimes, the only way to get back at an entitled customer is to speak their own language. In this case, that idea manifested itself quite literally. This bridal stylist, who shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, had been working with a bride for over an hour and unfortunately, none of the dresses seemed to be working. Naturally, this happens all the time. Not every decision is easy to make, especially for events like weddings. The only person who seemed to be…

Movers try to scam a guy with a hidden $400 fee, then get caught in a tight spot of petty revenge: 'They had him over a barrel'

Moving day looked a lot different when we were in our 20s. Back then, we would "pay" our gym buddies with a case of beer and free pizza after moving a 2-ton hand-me-down couch and our prized record collection up 7 flights of stairs, but now, nobody wants to risk a herniated disk over a sliver of pepperoni and cheese. Thus, moving companies were born.

'She put real effort into messing with me': Woman gets back at puzzle-obsessed ex by charging him for missing pieces

'She put real effort into messing with me': Woman gets back at puzzle-obsessed ex by charging him for missing pieces

The best way to get back at an ex involves personalizing your payback. It's one thing to post a bunch on social media about how much fun you're having and how much you've moved on since the breakup. It's also one thing to block someone outright. Those options might be petty, but they are also uninventive. What you really need to do, if payback is necessary, is to find something niche about your former partner and see if you can use that to your advantage. Now, payback is not pretty and it's not…

'I'm not cleaning this up...': Customer demands restaurant staff let her in before opening time, then leaves a mess in bathroom when they refuse

There are numerous challenges in the customer service sector, as we have all stated at some point. The obstacles could vary from challenging to exceedingly challenging, depending on the client in front of you. The irony of it all is that if you want to advance in your line of work, you need to be able to handle any situation with poise and maturity. The story below is of a dumbfounded restaurant employee. Given that the original poster (OP) has worked in the food sector for a significant period…

Entitled roommate uses student's dishes without permission, refuses to clean them because they're "not her's": 'Those are your dishes'

Living with roommates isn't easy. We, especially as grown adults, simply were never meant to be sharing living spaces and close quarters with other grown human beings. This is especially true when you're young and move out of your parent's house for the first time. It turns out many of us at that point have yet to learn the essential basic skills that make a functioning human and half-decent roommate. It's generally appealing how many people don't understand the basics of being respectful of ot…

'We didn't see Zen Dude back at the park again': Entitled yogi makes enemies at local dog park, other dog owners deflate his tires

For better or for worse, parks attract a wide range of outsized personalities. There are the folks who want to keep to themselves, the ones who are actively trying to draw attention, and the ones who whether they know it or not are making everyone else's experience at the park miserable. Most of the time, we do not have the courage to confront these individuals, but every so often, the opportunity for some much-needed petty revenge arises. With this particular scenario, which was shared by u/No…

'You get out when it's your turn': Passenger gets back at entitled line cutters on flight, makes deplaning last longer

Common courtesy is not exactly something that strangers on airplanes seem to exhibit anymore. These days, people are taking their shoes off and parading around in their bare feet. They're hogging the shared arm rests. They're extending their legs beyond their own personal space. Whatever happened to even the slightest sliver of respect people used to show for one another on flights? This passenger had it with one particular phenomenon, and it was at the end of the travel experience. Yes, we're…

Most folks have had the unfortunate experience of waiting in line behind a Karen customer, but believe it or not, it could be worse.

'Micromanage me? Go ahead': Fast food workers band together to get micromanaging shift supervisor fired

Sure, it takes a detail-oriented person to manage a restaurant, but some supervisors are not cut out for it simply because they are too intense. These micromanagers tend to be unable to pivot if unforeseen circumstances arise. They also tend to be extremely frustrated when employees make judgment calls and handle their tasks differently. In other words, micromanagers rarely make genuinely good bosses. Instead, the only thing they are successful at is making enemies out of the people who work fo…

'Thou shalt not cut in line': Line-cutting Male Karen gets his comeuppance in the Drive-Thru pharmacy line

Karma can rear its head just about anywhere, even if it's in a long line at the local drive-thru pharmacy. Here, we have a customer who was patiently waiting third in line at a drive-thru in order to pick up a prescription. Because of the structural layout on the street, there had to be a small gap between the third and fourth positions in line so that regular drivers could pass. Well, one SUV line-cutting male Karen thought that gap could be an opportunity to sneak in and completely cut the li…

'$1,000 in water has literally gone down the drain': New landlord refuses to do repairs, so tenant refuses to fix leaky sink even though he's a plumber

'$1,000 in water has literally gone down the drain': New landlord refuses to do repairs, so tenant refuses to fix leaky sink even though he's a plumber

“My lease clearly states that all water-related issues are management’s problem. I don’t pay for water or gas utility, it’s included in my rent... I’m perfectly capable of fixing the issue, but out of spite, I refuse to. I had a small leak at my house once, and it drove my bill almost $100 for the month over normal. I figure at least $1000 in water has literally gone down the drain, not to mention, the water is also being heated by the gas water heater.”
