Never criticize the person who makes you dinner; otherwise, you might be in for a rotten surprise. This Redditor recounted the tale of how their father relentlessly critiqued his wife's beans whenever she made them. They seemed to be perfectly fine for everyone else in the family, but for him, they were always “rotten.” So OP's mother decided it was time to give him a taste of his own medicine and to show him what rotten beans actually tasted like. The best part of the story is the subsequent r…

Anyone whose been in a courtroom before, knows how unnecessarily long proceedings can be. The slightest mishap can force everyone to start from square one. Well, that's exactly how this hearing that the OP voluntarily attended was going. Frustrated by the prolonged process, he decided he'd had enough and attempted to make an exit. When the judge ordered the man to stay, he compiled. Maliciously compiled that is.

An $18,870 fine after a traffic stop is absolutely insane. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality for the OP's 26-year-old brother, who now has one year to pay it off. Working extra hours seems like the obvious solution to generate the needed cash. However, this assumes the OP hasn't had to sell his car to cover some of the expenses. Regardless, his license is now suspended, meaning the entitled brother relies on others for transportation.

Stores with ridiculous policies are practically begging for drama. The only thing worse in a retail conflict than an entitled customer is a manager on a power trip. Most of the time when you find yourself in a situation like this, you roll your eyes and accept the bogus policy, but every once in a while, you just cannot bring yourself to go along with such nonsense. That's when these managers need to be careful because this is perhaps the only time when irate customers are justified in trying t…

This form of revenge was not only petty, but it was also knotty. Sometimes, when you're in a public performance setting like a movie theater or a play, people are unintentionally disruptive and annoying in a way that can ruin the whole experience for others. We know this phenomenon all too well, from the folks who text after they have been told to silence their cell phones to the people who have absolutely no concept of personal space. Like it or not, there are unspoken rules of how to behave i…

Surviving the experience of having a Karen as a housemate is an awards-worthy feat. We all know that it's not easy to have to deal with a Karen customer or even to witness a Karen on the street, but of course, these are all temporary encounters. Having to deal with a Karen day in and day out can be soul-crushing, and yet this housemate managed to endure and even managed to pull off some petty revenge along the way. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Roguefem-76 , w…

If you've ever had a car, then you know that finding a parking spot can be the bane of your existence. But there's good and bad ways to go about finding a spot. The good way is, if you can't find one then you simply leave the lot and find parking elsewhere. Super easy and devoid of conflict! The bad way is, you physically run into the spot in order to save it. This is exactly what happened to OP when he pulled halfway into a spot and a wild Karen appears out of nowhere to try and hold it with h…

We're always told, 'Don't judge a book by its cover', but that doesn't deter people from judging people based on how they look anyway. This sales rep made the mistake of her life when she refused a casually dressed customer service. OP was walking by a designer store when she noticed a cool backpack that caught her eye. She went inside and asked one of the employees if she could bring it out so that she could take a closer look before purchasing it. The sales rep basically scoffed at her and to…

You really roll the dice when you move in with someone… Whether that's a spouse, a friend, or a complete stranger, like a roommate. One woman moved in with her best friend, and we all know that can either go amazingly, or it can go as south as south can go… Guess which way this situation went? So, after a while of living together, OP's roommate began doing some questionable things, which at first, did not affect OP in the slightest. That is, until one day, this roommate had to bail out the pers…

It takes a special kind of person to interpret a store's return policy as a suggestion and not a rule. I myself do not possess this quality. If I'm told to pay up, even if it's ridiculous, I often put my goodie two shoes on and cough up the money. This is not a quality of which I am proud, especially over the Holiday season when there are a lot of scams out there. In times like these, I wish I knew someone like this Redditor so he could stand up to the store manager on my behalf. This thread wa…

Getting cut off is a profoundly infuriating phenomenon we have all been on the receiving end of while driving behind the wheel. For me, it's the implications behind the act of cutting someone off that really grind my gears. Of course, that implication is that this person is more important than you. Wherever they have to go is of greater importance than whatever it is that you have going on in your life. Cutting someone off is nothing more than an act of narcissism and main character syndrome.

You know the drill – you sign up for a company's emails for a tempting incentive, like a juicy 20% discount, and suddenly, you're bombarded with annoying emails week after week. So there's this random guy who, fed up with the spam, decides to outsmart the system. He signs up for emails using a 'fake' email address, just a random Gmail account with his first initial and last name. Unbeknownst to him, someone else actually shares the same first initial and last name and has to endure the spam...

Every family faces different challenges. Every family believes that they have won the short end of the stick. We genuinely think that nobody can understand our extraordinary and bizarre family. However, we must always keep in mind that, despite our best efforts to convince ourselves otherwise, there are times when the grass truly is greener on the other side of the fence! The story below is an account of a niece who has always been Uncle Todd's favorite, but as luck would have it, even she fail…

Some people believe that the truth is determined by the context, however, sometimes the truth remains the same regardless of the situation. There is a right and a wrong in real life, and it is impossible to confuse the two. The story below describes the encounter between two individuals. The first is OP and the second would be an arrogant parker who mistakenly believes herself to be entitled to OP's private property. However, rather than succumbing to the nasty habits of the entitled parker, OP…

Company holiday parties can be SO amazing if you work in a healthy environment. When your coworkers are petty, managers entitled, and HR useless, then holiday work parties can turn out to actually be a huge source of anxiety. Take this recent employee who came to vent on Reddit. She was having a normal day at work until she stepped out to refill her water bottle and came back to an empty office. She looked around and found only one manager still there. She asked what was going on and the manage…

Moving is already stressful enough; getting scammed during a move is about as low as a scammer can go. The closest I have ever been to getting scammed during a move would be during the apartment hunting process in New York City last summer. After applying and securing an apartment that was already near the top of our budget maximum, the listing agent decided that this place was in such high demand that he could then add a ton of extra fees on the place, none of which were communicated to use be…
