After moving in, this dude just wanted to take a quick break before they kept unpacking. If you've ever moved, you know what a massive task it is. You have to box up everything you own into what feels like one thousand boxes. Then, you have to transport all your belongings, or entrust a moving company to do it for you, and hope your precious items arrive intact. And finally, you then have to unpack all your stuff , and decorate your new living space. The OP of this story, u/cbing1010101, was in…

When spending time at a hotel, you allow yourself to comfortably leave things around, as you know that the hotel is being monitored by security cameras and staff at all times. Otherwise, you simply wouldn't pay to stay the night. In this case, OP was staying at a very expensive hotel, and when I say expensive, I mean that a standard room typically costs over $500 a night. So what happened to OP's slippers was kind of bizarre. OP was visiting the hotel spa, taking off his slippers and leaving th…

Life is all good and dandy when you aren't going through micromanagement at work, but the second bosses decide that they want to become more stringent, you can kiss that dandiness goodbye. OP was working in a field where the urgent response was basically the purpose of said field. One day, OP's employer became super budget-conscious, and no longer allowed overtim e unless it was approved. The problem with that wasn't the scheduled overtime, but the unscheduled overtime. Most of the employees we…

“Everything that happens and goes wrong, is my responsibility,” this facility manager wrote about their encounter with an irritating client. Key cards are pretty great inventions. Although, if you recall, the first round of major hotels to use keycards were kind of a disaster. In the mid 2000s at some point, hotels began switching from manual keys to key cards . The walk from the pool back to the room was brutal, especially when key cards were in their infancy. While on vacation as a young kid,…

Don't underestimate the pettiness of these fed-up workers . You'd be acting petty too if customers treated you the same way . Cashiers work so hard for so little recognition. If I was running things, all cashiers would be allowed to sit down, they'd be allowed to talk back to rude customers, and they'd all be paid at least $1 million per year. In reality, though, cashiers have to deal with the grouchiest customers one after another for minimum wage (and no sitting down either). You can only han…

When you start to feel yourself becoming the unappreciated cornerstone of your company, it might be time to consider other employment. Your managers might act like they have their ducks in a row, but they always seem to forget who's the one lining 'em up. If you have ever worked for a boss who never recognized your value in the workplace, you can probably relate to this next story.

This food delivery guy got the oddest instructions ever — and they weren't even from his actual customer. Working in the food delivery industry can be quite lucrative if you do it right. Some delivery people can make hundreds of dollars per day between their salary and their customers' tips. Food apps like Doordash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats are so popular that it's no wonder delivery folks sometimes use multiple apps at once. If you're working for two or three separate services, you can try and c…

Don't tell this housekeeper how to do their job . Their boss tried, and it didn't end well. When you do something for long enough, you start to develop shortcuts to make your life easier. Maybe you have a template you use to save time while writing emails if you're at an office job. Or for those in retail, maybe you're super fast at making drinks because you're used to measuring things by sight. You get into a rhythm and try to do your job as quickly and accurately as possible. Enter this emplo…

One of the best perks of working from home is that you can look absolutely depraved, un-showered, and unprofessional– and nobody needs to know it! You can click through emails, study spreadsheets, and make Zoom calls, while wearing pajamas in the comfort of your home. Some bosses however– tyrannical micromanagers, that is– will insist on destroying that beautiful facade that you've grown to love and demand that their employees turn their cameras on for every meeting.

The most insulting thing you can do to another kid in grade school is eat their lunch. You reach over, belligerently grab their sandwich, and take a bite right in front of them just to prove that you have power over them– Countries have gone to war over less. In this case, one sandwich shop employee did the unthinkable and took the ultimate sandwich-revenge when a group of Karens pushed him over the edge.

It is often said that you become that which you desire most—at least, I think so… I may be making this one up as, if it were true, I'd have turned into a chicken nugget by now. Regardless of whether this is actually an expression, this guy manifested it into existence when he felt entitled to take over the entire armrest between himself and a stranger while attending a theater performance. Normally this is a bad move. Sure, you might think that the space is there, so someone should use it—and w…

This woman is moving on from all her school drama . As the OP, u/tryingclosetomybest, shared to r/pettyrevenge, she finally got the last laugh with a man who bullied her all throughout high school. Bullies can make life incredibly challenging for any young person, especially during their formative years. In school, it's easy for kids to get away with saying or doing mean things. At least we all grow up and leave school, and realize that the world is a much larger place than our hometowns. There…

Karen roommates are a dime a dozen, as almost everyone has had to deal with somebody who lacks basic practical skills and human decency. In this case, OP was sharing a two-bedroom with a roommate who he quickly found out was a Karen. Thriving on conflict, Karen always found something wrong to point out. She has given herself one hundred different labels, some of which include being a germaphobe, which she uses as an excuse to demand OP touch nothing… in his own home. OP said he was willing to t…

It's fair to say most people wouldn't want their bosses to know what they buy online in their personal life. Even if you're buying the most innocuous things like cleaning supplies or a new set of plates, it would just be an icky feeling if someone else had access to your Amazon account . This boss does have access to their former employee's Amazon account , meaning they can see all the addresses the employee sends things to, what she's bought before, and even what's in her wish list and her car…

A $25 per month bill inspired this woman to get creative with her parking spot. It's great to have an apartment building where you can park your car in a garage or a parking lot. It saves you the hassle of having to fight for a spot, and if you can park indoors, you'll never have to wipe snow and ice off your vehicle again. And don't even get me started about having to move your car when the street cleaner comes around, which some cities make you do monthly. Yes, there's a lot of be gained from…

Getting back at scheming roommates was this person's goal, and they truly succeeded! Finding the right roommate is key. If you end up not getting along with them, like this person did, you're just out of luck. Unless, like this person also did, you find a way to get out of the agreement. U/Nymyane_Aqua shared their story to r/ MaliciousCompliance . In their story, the OP writes that their roommates had ganged up to try and get them to leave the house they all shared. Why? So that one of the roo…
