petty

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the kinds of terribly petty curses that people would cast on their archenemies. People got wildly inventive with their curses. Just picturing what life would be like if there was always a wet spot on one of your socks, or it always felt like there was an eyelash stuck to your eye is enough to get one's heart racing. If anything it's lists like these that can manage to make us grateful for all the fleeting pleasures and periods of general comfortability that we otherwise take for granted. 

Brushing one's teeth loudly is taking the art of the petty revenge to new heights. Seriously, that's almost commendable. We're glad to see that everything worked out between these two roommates. Thus is not always the case. For instance, the time that one dude outsmarted his roommate with the Pavlovian Method. Now that's just pure evil genius. 

Dave is obviously a very smart man. But with that being said, just picture the scenario of Karen suing. Judge could sure have a nice laugh out of that one. 

Many of us have experienced bad roommates at some point in our lives. It sounds like these particular roommates were all kinds of toxic and passive aggressive. So, when the couple could put up with their antics no longer, they decided to up and move out with all of their belongings. Thing about taking all of their belongings, was that meant that the old roommates were left with pretty much nothing. 

At its core this whole dramatic scenario sound like the sloppy manifestation of a nasty breakup. One person ends up moving out and the other ex-boyfriend swings low by having a ton of people move in that basically pay his way, while his ex has to make full payments on the rent. So, his ex reported him to the landlord, and he was screwed from there. Just a textbook petty revenge between a bitter couple of ex lovers. 

Check out another petty revenge with this story about some loud neighbors that deprived a family of sleep, so the kids took revenge.

They thought they'd just pop on in and go about stealing some poetry. They must be especially challenged when it comes to writing poetry if this is how they thought they'd be able to get it done. 

Man oh man, inconsiderate neighbors are just the kind of thing that can drive the most rational, even keeled folks over the edge. Especially if you approach their antics with kindness and try to play nice, and they throw it right back in your face. Fortunately, this tenant was able to take the kind of successful petty revenge that resulted in their neighbors getting penalized with a righteous fine. Job well done. 

The look on this dude's face at the summit must've been a priceless spectacle to behold. We're no strangers to dramatic cheating stories here, but when it comes to the kinds of revenges that people will take on those selfish, cold-blooded cheaters, this scenario involving leaving a cheater at the top of the mountain is a new favorite. 

This isn't the first glorious tale that we've encountered involving a package thief getting a well deserved glitter surprise. This particular cascade of events ultimately results in the package thief getting evicted because the glitter ended up being sufficient proof that they were out there stealing people's stuff. Just don't be a thief. 

What's really messed up about this petty revenge is the fact that mom's support literally had to be tricked out of her. That's no good. She should've been giving her kid the morale boost from the get go. Either way, was definitely satisfying to see mom get tricked. 

People that have the audacity to invite themselves over, and then refuse to follow the house rules are something else. This insensitive step mom used all the water during a gnarly drought, so a glorious case of petty revenge ensued. Check out another glorious case of pro revenge with this aggressive girlfriend who had the nerve to steal from her ex's bank account.

NextDoor is one of those apps that effortlessly generates a goldmine of people being them strangest selves, and airing it out for the rest of the online world to see. For those unaware of what exactly NextDoor is, it's a social media site that connects folks living in the same neighborhood. We're not entirely sure which of these are genuine, honest questions/complaints, and which of these are people just trolling away. 

Karen decided to pitch a fit about a traffic jam that the driver in front of her had no ability to make disappear. It's funny how blind rage gives way to ignorant acts of absurdity. Acts of absurdity like Karen telling a car to move when it had nowhere to go in the first place. Fortunately, the driver took a petty revenge on Karen for her antics. 

If there's ever a real and visceral display of power in every day life, it's the politics and leverage of parking spaces. This proud citizen did absolutely everything except let this Karen use her own rudeness to get her way. It seems like she would be on the losing end of the shopping cart theory of morality. Here are some more unfortunate times people went full Karen.

As an adult, you have to deal with some pretty disappointing garbage, but for some reason the real stuff that keeps you up at night, seething with rage, is the thought that in 4th grade you got pinned with calling another kid a butthead when in fact it was actually Dylan. We all just have stuff we're still salty about.
