Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… There are times in our lives when someone does us wrong; usually, the best thing you can do in that situation (and the thing you should do) is walk away. There are times, though, when an opportunity to even the scales presents itself that just can't be passed up, and you give in to your most basic instinct. That's what this games cabinet seller experienced when a customer, who had scammed them out of both payment and a cabinet, attempted to sel…

Getting caught cheating certainly has consequences, but I hadn't heard of these ones before.

Getting your pay docked because you didn't talk good?! Cue malicious compliance!

This landlord threatened legal action against their tenant if the tenant refused to let them show the apartment while they were still living there. The tenant did not want the grief of going through a legal process with their terrible landlord, so they caved under pressure and allowed the apartment viewings to occur. This thread was posted to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by the tenant after they faced a long list of issues with their current landlord. This included the landlord stealing…

Neighborhood HOAs do not have a good track record these days. They used to be more like an HR department for neighbors to work through conflicts and disagreements in their community. Now, they just yell at you for your property not looking a certain way they want it to look . For example, god forbid you have a few weeds growing on your lawn. Recently, a girl named Mae online posted about an HOA violation she received about the weeds on her lawn. The email was caddy and entitled and nit picky. T…

Once in a while, you come across someone who you decided to mess with and who you absolutely should not have messed with. Notable entries to this list who come to mind would be John Wick (seriously, leave the guy's dog alone), Master Chief (Grunts don't call him “The Demon” for nothing), Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino (who inspired the intro quote), and Granny (park in her space at your own peril). These individuals all have the common trait of displaying a laid-back outward demeanor that doesn'…

A stupid directive necessitates an even stupider response — that's why these employees decided to eat their lunch in the middle of their CEO's annual update when their boss told them the meeting was going to count as their lunch for the day. The boss would soon learn to regret their bold words when their entire team threw them right under the bus as soon as the CEO started asking questions about the buffet that was taking place before their very eyes. When put to sharp questioning, the boss dec…

The stereotype of the sleazy salesman is one that holds very true to reality. There are far too many people in the trade who will do anything it takes to close a sale and there are also far too many industries breeding these manipulators. Part of it is the fault of commission-based work: When you work with no guarantee of consistent pay, you're likely to turn to drastic methods to put food on the table. You usually then realize that there's no ceiling to your income as long as you can close an…

Sometimes a moment so perfect presents itself to us that it's impossible to resist temptation — even if it's something we know we shouldn't be doing. Bonus points here if doing said inadvisable act results in just desserts being served on deserving, entitled persons. That's the chance that presented itself to Redditor u/Jack932008 when they happened across a tiny empty parking space that we being encroached upon by the two adjacent entitled parkers, who were trying to keep their cars well away…

How did the leasing office not figure this out on its own?

Whatever belief, culture, lifestyle, or background you come from or follow, there's a unifying ideal that we should all abide by: Treat others with respect. You never know what someone else has had to endure, what they've managed to make it through, or what trials and tribulations they face or have faced. This is why that whole “not judging” thing is so prevalent and important in belief structures ("Do not judge, or you too will be judged") — who are you to think yourself worthy of passing judg…

Nothing like getting petty revenge on a Karen!

“I am going to make this van… — disappear!” If you could describe this story with a single movie title, it would be: “Gone in 60 seconds"; because that's just about how long it took to orchestrate this genius act of towing revenge

Hanlon's razor urges us to “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity," — yet I can't help but shake the thought that Hanlon might have underestimated the malfeasant tactics that would be employed by 21st-century hustlers to get ahead. For sure, there is still plenty of stupid involved in these strategies but, in a world were insider trading goes unpunished, NFTs

This Karen neighbor does not own a public parking spot!

This woman exacted some seriously petty revenge on her boyfriend and best friend after she discovered the two were having a secret relationship behind her back. She then returned to the comment section to share how her petty revenge had sowed the seeds of discord between the new couple after her departure – which led to the couple breaking up. Yesterday we shared the original version of this story, in which the woman shared the story of her revenge to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit. She then…
