‘That stain is not coming out’: Bridezilla insults new stepdaughter, she "accidentally" stains bride’s wedding dress with chocolate

This bridezilla made so many mistakes, one of which was standing right next to the chocolate fountain during photos. What was this lady thinking? Clearly, she was not in her right mind because she also made an enemy of her teenage stepdaughter. As one person in the comments section of this Reddit thread pointed out, this story was more than just petty revenge. This was well-deserved karma for a cruel home-wrecker who mocked her stepdaughter’s health. Well, she ended up facing the consequences,…

‘Stop complaining about your neighbors’: Noisy bench-pressing neighbor falls through the floor, landlord pays up after ignoring tenant’s complaints

It all started with a loud noise from above, and before he knew it, this tenant’s upstairs neighbor came falling through the ceiling. Yup, that actually happened. Thankfully, everyone involved seems to be ok now, except perhaps for the bank accounts of the upstairs neighbor and the tenant’s landlord. The former had been bench-pressing in his living room and damaging the tenant’s ceiling repeatedly in the process. He was also ignoring the tenant’s persistent requests to quiet down and to find an…

Update: Coworker gets back at lunch thief by tossing their unlabeled boxes: ‘Did you have your name on them?’

Watching someone get a taste of their own medicine is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, you have to savor the moment. This is especially true for petty revenge on annoying coworkers. It’s not every day you get to see that person suffer the consequences of their own actions. Most of the time, you just have to smile, nod, and ignore them while you quietly imagine all the ways their behavior might come back to bite them on the behind. However, when your annoying coworker has actively wronged…

'I ended up making less than $500 a paycheck': Company lies about compensation to new hire, employee quits via meme

The job search is tough, and it can be quite a lengthy process too. But once you finally nail a few rounds of interviews for a job you really want, you can feel on top of the world. The only part left is negotiating your contract. In the case of this new hire, she was only looking for a job to help pay for childcare, and she was really honest about that with her new employer. The worst part is that her employer promised her at least $1,200 a paycheck, given that the company had a commission-bas…

‘The head of the HOA was fuming’: Guy drives HOA board members crazy over the color of his house

‘The head of the HOA was fuming’: Guy drives HOA board members crazy over the color of his house

If HOAs want to enforce pointless rules, then they better be prepared for people to expose just how pointless said rules are. Here, we have a guy who just wanted to paint his house a light green color but did not realize that the HOA had to approve the color. When the head of the HOA came by to discuss the paint job, he purposely left out this reminder so that the resident could later be fined for not complying. That’s when the resident decided to get petty in return. He proceeded to submit doz…

'It felt good snitching... especially since they are lying and stealing from my community': Man calls out house flippers for not paying taxes, gains community support

This responsible citizen was browsing through Zillow when he stumbled upon something odd. He noticed a house that was clearly a flip due to the short amount of time between its original purchase date and its relisting for sale (around two months in total). It was obvious that no one was residing in the house. Still, the house flippers were attempting to pull a fast one on the community by listing the property as a primary residence despite that it clearly was not.

Employees outraged over company causally announcing shifting to a 42.5-hour workweek: 'They actually tried to spin this as a way to promote equity'

No one wants to work more hours per week. For more money, maybe, but what about working more hours per week for the same amount of money? No thanks. Nowadays, a four-day workweek is becoming increasingly popular, with studies showing that employees are actually more productive when the workweek is reduced by a day. And it makes sense because an extra day off can help prevent burnout and improve overall work-life balance. In fact, a shorter work week could motivate employees to complete their wo…

'Oh, the look she gave me': Entitled bartender gets her comeuppance, salty customer tosses pennies on the floor

99.99% of bartenders do not deserve this treatment, but this one will be satisfying for those of you who have ever encountered that 0.01% of folks who deserve their comeuppance. As someone who has often been mistreated by bartenders at noisy establishments that favor a more alpha male presence, I certainly enjoyed hearing about an entitled bartender getting called out for treating an innocent customer like a complete and total nuisance. This person was on the clock on a quiet night and was spea…

Woman feuds with frat bro neighbor over loud music, she blasts nursery rhymes as payback: 'I played Barney'

Who knew that the best way to get back at your frat bro neighbor would be to play nursery rhymes and children's music? This dude was no longer in college and was blasting loud beats late at night during the work week. In short, he was the kind of selfish human we frequently tear down on this site. This Redditor tried everything to politely and calmly tell him to quiet down, to no avail of course. After a failed conversation and a fully ignored note on his door, she realized that the only way to…

Cheapskate CEO enforces new coffee policy, employee gets payback at company workshop with his own rule: 'You can't have coffee!'

Cheapskate CEO enforces new coffee policy, employee gets payback at company workshop with his own rule: 'You can't have coffee!'

What is the value in enforcing who gets to have a cup of coffee in the office? The only potential answer to that question is for a toxic manager to be able to flex his muscles and enforce his sense of authority for literally no reason other than to do just that. This time, we have a manager who did not like how his employee offered interview candidates a cup of coffee, as they were not present in the office for “whole day events.” So, he went ahead and enforced this absolutely bogus rule.

'Boss doesn't like my new email address': Newly-fired remote worker creates petty email address to taunt ex-boss

This person unlocked a whole new level of taunting---and the person they're taunting is their ex-boss. No matter the circumstances, being fired from a job always stings. For the boss, it's as easy as letting an employee go, and never seeing them again. There are no consequences to deal with for higher-ups! But for an employee, it means suddenly not knowing if you can pay rent this month or afford to buy groceries. It sends an employee's life into a tailspin, and no one else is held accountable…
