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.

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…

This property manager was so sneaky about trying to keep this young couple's security deposit. He had no idea who he was messing with! If you've ever rented, you're probably familiar with the concept of security deposits . On top of paying your first and last month's rent, your landlord will probably hit you up for that deposit. A lot of people just eat the cost, knowing that they'll be putting up shelves or painting or otherwise causing “damage” in their apartment (we all know it's not really…

"This dealership had an average rating of around 4.5 stars and 400 total reviews. Their current rating? 1.9 stars with nearly 3.5k total reviews."

Kudos to this lady for not caring if she became the enemy of everyone at the neighboring college across the street. It's that level of commitment to not caring about what other people think that we all aspire to channel one day. She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, where she explained what happened after a particularly awful week in which the college played the same song loudly on repeat from eight in the morning to six at night for ten days straight. Evide…

Sometimes, the only way to get back at people who won't stop reaching out to you is by giving them a taste of their own medicine. Today, we're not talking about annoying relatives, friends, or coworkers. We are talking about receiving an endless number of calls from debt collectors who are clearly looking for someone else. In this instance, we have a Redditor who recently purchased a new phone and who has been getting nonstop calls 24/7. It's not the kind of thing you can easily ignore after a…

It's remarkable how immature people get when they're called out on their nonsense! We tend to associate this kind of “it wasn't me!” behavior with children when their parents catch them breaking the rules. However, we should be honest with ourselves at this point and admit that adults do this literally all the time. Here, we have an insensitive dude who aggressively got out of his car and dinged the neighboring driver's car in the parking lot. The other driver saw it happen and looked at them i…

When someone at work decides they don't like you for no reason, there usually is not much you can do to change their mind. You can try to reason with them or find common ground, but nine times out of ten, these are unreasonable people with a high school mentality. If they meet you with pettiness, sometimes the only thing you can do in return is to be petty right back. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/MercerAcolyte42 , who discovered her coworkers' complete distas…

Note to self: never be the person everyone rolls their eyes at in the office. We're talking about the person who says whatever the boss would like them to say and would throw someone else under the bus in a second if it meant they got extra points in the boss's book. We're talking about the guy who is always scheduling unnecessary meetings just to make it seem like he's busy. Going out of your way for brownie points may impress an egomaniac, but it's always how to annoy and frustrate your cowor…

Who didn't dream of seeing their least favorite teacher get their comeuppance? You may be 12 years old or you may be 42, but the truth of the matter is that no one forgets that one unnecessarily cruel teacher. This, of course, would be the so-called “educator” who didn't seem to enjoy any aspect of their job with the exception of disciplining children and asserting their power over their students. This would be that teacher who pre-judged you on Day One and who never let you prove yourself as a…

Typically, parents want to give their kids everything they could possibly want—or, more precisely, everything they need to be successful and happy. But what if your parents kept a record of every single expense they ever incurred on your behalf? Do you have to pay them back, or are they supposed to shoulder the cost of your upbringing? The account that follows is the story of an astonished girl. On her eighteenth birthday, the Original Poster (OP) received a lengthy and detailed document detail…

Having long nails can be a challenge at work. We mean absolutely no shade to those who choose to keep their nails long; in fact, we marvel at your ability to open doors, envelopes, and file cabinets with them. However, if you are also the type of coworker who frequently shirks their responsibilities and leaves your fellow employees to take on extra tasks, you'd be surprised to learn that your coworkers can use your long nails against you as this employee did. They shared their side of the story…

Everyone had an unnecessarily toxic gym teacher at one point in their schooling. Did they motivate you to be better about exercising? No. Did their cruel tactics build character in you? No. Were any of their methods productive besides helping you learn how to avoid the wrath of a bad person? Certainly not! Of course, there are effective gym teachers out there, but today, we are talking about the bad apples that need to be called out. So with that in mind, this post goes out to any of you who ha…

“We're talking 4cm [of property]," this neighbor explained, but the guy next door doesn't really care. Neighborhood feuds can be long-lasting affairs. This person knows that all too well, as they explained in two posts to r/pettyrevenge. A lot of their dispute stems from the fact that u/Sospuff's neighbor has an intimidating dog. You can tell these two have a long-standing beef because the neighbor trained his dog to bark at the OP's children! Now, when the kiddos head out to the yard to play,…

Nine times out of ten, neighbors who call in noise complaints are usually the problem, but every so often that neighbor is in the right. You can usually tell when you read them recount their story if they are attempting to hide the crazy or if they truly are the voice of reason in the conflict. Here, we have a resident of an apartment building who allowed their new neighbors a grace period to make some noise for the move itself and for their housewarming party. However, as time progressed, it b…

This lawyer picked the wrong dude to pick on. One person shared an excellent tale of malicious compliance that they got on their divorce lawyer. You'd think as a divorce lawyer, you'd have a bit of decorum. People are going through some of the most difficult parts of a relationship, and now they're also having to get a lawyer involved as they split up everything they own. This person, u/FederalAnt9, found themself in a “heated divorce/custody battle,” and their ex's lawyer was prepared to go af…
