If you've ever strolled into a bank, queued up at a teller's window, and politely asked to withdraw some cash, you probably know the drill. You obviously need to show your ID because, I mean, anyone could just waltz in and pretend to be you and then snag money right out of your account. It's just common sense.

'I called the rescue and told them': Cat lover thwarts their former friend's cat adoption after finding out she declawed and abandoned her last kitten

Most animal lovers would agree that any human who mistreats or abandons a pet doesn't deserve to get another one just because they feel like it, but what would your conscience say if you had the power to stop that villain from adopting more pets? Would you let them go home with the 'kitten of the week'? Or would you stop them in their tracks?

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ko-Riel , who explained that they purchased a car with three years of maintenance included. When it came time for the c…

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/JumoreJay88 , who shared a story from approximately 15 years ago when she…

It's not an issue if you just have an ongoing random feud with your coworker in another branch of the company because he keeps stealing your parking spot, for example.
