It's easy to forgive children for being noisy every once in a while, but when it's all day every day, at a certain point one's patience will expire. This dude was dealing with a plethora of issues regarding his next-door neighbor's behavior. First of all, the parents do not treat their kids well. In fact, it's quite clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that department. Second of all, the kids are regularly singing and screaming at the top of their lungs at 2 am on weeknights,…

Neighbors can get particularly testy with one another when it comes to their dogs. Let's be honest: people tend to go above and beyond for their own pets. If they break something, it's fine. If they go to the bathroom where they're not supposed to, they get a free pass. If they act out in public, all is forgiven and it's probably someone else's fault. However, we simply do not extend the same courtesy to other people's dogs. If they break something, they're out of control. If they go to the bat…

If you're an upcycler, a trinket-lover, or an antique aficionado, you've probably perused a garage sale or two. The thrill of a real-life treasure hunt is a visceral experience and the satisfaction you feel when you find just the perfect item is priceless. However, there are rules in the scavenging business–and when garage sale etiquette is breached, there could be some expensive consequences.

Living in an area prone to storms surely teaches you a lot of life hacks and survival skills that other people don't know. If you don't want to lose half of your possessions and unreal amounts of money, you need to educate yourself and learn how to keep everything safe even when something like a hurricane or a thunderstorm hits your area. Some people, simply would not listen to advice about these matters, and when the consequences happen, they also refuse to admit they were wrong, but no one fe…

When an account manager accused this worker of making a big mistake, the employee came back with receipts. U/LucyAriaRose knows the value of getting things in writing, as he shared in a post to the r/pettyrevenge subreddit. While working in a client-facing job , there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that the client never gets to hear about. For this medical equipment company worker, that meant that their work in the contracting department was “challenging." And, he added, if he didn't ge…

A man was housesitting at his partner's parent's house when he got the late night munchiess. At 1 a.m., he decided to browse through his food delivery apps to see what could satisfy his craving. His choice was a Slurpee and candy from a nearby 7/11. While waiting for his food, he fell asleep. The next morning, he went to check on his food only to find it missing and the police at his door. Apparently, the food was delivered to some unsuspecting neighbors who thought the police needed to be invo…

If you have good neighbors , count your blessings. As the people in this thread below can tell you, having bad neighbors can interfere with your life in endless ways. U/Collins71514 was curious to know people's stories of the pettiest things their neighbors ever did . There were a surprising amount of stories with a common theme: neighbors who were determined to move their property line. It doesn't matter if it's just a couple of inches or a few feet. These people were utterly determined to get…

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…

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…

Don't underestimate the power of pettiness…

If there is anyone in this world who deserves to be called out for their nonsense, it's a greedy real estate agent. This is not to say that all real estate agents are greedy. We are sure there are two or three decent ones out there. All jokes aside though, we can all agree that this particular one had it coming. This thread was shared to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Otherwise_Gift_4123, who recently bought a home and tried to negotiate with their landlord and real estate agent to get…

It's always a risk when you're buying something from Marketplace. Like anything you purchase, you have to do your due diligence and assess the product carefully before going for it and making the purchase. Sometimes, we're overwhelmed and we forget to be careful when we buy products that appear to be perfectly fine. This Redditor certainly acknowledges his own part in that when he bought a broken ottoman. That being said, when he tried to return said item, it became clear that the previous owne…

In a perfect world, one should know that success is the best form of revenge and there's no need to go any further than that, but this is not a perfect world. Sure, if you know that you've found success and happiness following a breakup, then there should not be a need to publicize that in any way in order to feel gratification. Knowing that you're happy in and of itself should be enough. However, some moments are just too perfect that you have to post about them on all social media platforms t…

Property lines are sacred. Even in the frontier days when cowboys were hijacking their neighbor's land over a sack of potatoes, the two most important things about land ownership were that you had your name on the deed and that the property lines were drawn extra dark on the map.

If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk. If you can't, you're in for embarrassment… and possibly even worse outcomes than that. This assembly line worker had an interesting story to tell about what happened to them and his coworker. This coworker, Richard, kept stealing the credit for his work, which is a surefire way to lower that employee's morale. It can be so dispiriting to work for ages on something, only to realize that no one knows you actually did it. When you see the big bosses…
