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.

Those cheaters never win. In this case, we have a cheating ex who tried to land their poor partner with a hefty phone bill. Well, soon as mom heard wind of her son's immoral antics she handled the situation quickly. Getting the money back was nice, but you can't put a price on the value of having that last laugh. Good for them. 

It's not a good idea to block an emergency vehicle, and that goes for just about anyone. This new guy decided he'd take his sweet time getting his cruiser out of the way, so the powers that be decided he should learn a lesson in not blocking ambulances. For another parking dispute, here's a Karen who parked in construction site reserved parking, wouldn't move and got blocked in.

Everyone gets wronged by someone at a point in their lives. Some folks hold onto that bitter rage and let it fester, and eventually end up letting it out into the world in an act of pure petty revenge. A well executed petty revenge is its own kind of art form. It takes patience and impressive strategic planning. 

Never underestimate the petty lengths that a bitter and freshly heartbroken human being might go to after a breakup. In the heat of the moment many folks can become overwhelmed by the desire to enact some kind of revenge that makes their ex suffer. Some of these situations seem like they were entirely deserved, based off of what we heard. Some people can be absolutely awful. 

Sometimes the best way to confront a rude roommate is to one up them on their annoying antics. This guy executed his petty revenge beautifully. Glad the problem was resolved. 

Nothing worse than a toxic neighbor. Eh, maybe a toxic roommate. That being said, this rotten neighbor certainly had it coming. They were spreading all kinds of unwanted chaos around the building, and ultimately they end up learning their lesson. Yes, to have seen the look on that woman's face when she learned about the fate of the washer and dryer would've been too sweet. 

Nothing tops the sweetness of a successful petty revenge like being validated by others around you that you were in the right all along. Sounds like Karen was going way too hard on the salt with her cooking. So, a simple decision to hide those salt shakers resulted in everyone being pleased. Nicely done. 

Come to think of it, small mistakes like the continuously changing shape of a sign in a cartoon were always slightly annoying. Who'd think that some day literally thousands of people would devote their attention to these kind of subtle animation errors? Nobody pretends that cartoon logic always makes sense, but it is fun to point out.

The lazy-ass excuse this person gives for confusing their email accounts is all the more reason to mess with his shipping details. For more petty drama, here's an entitled coworker who demanded a party and took all the leftovers as well as exchanges between neighbors who hate each other.

Neighbors can get into the pettiest and most ridiculous of showdowns between one another. Whether it's one neighbor being obnoxiously loud, or another neighbor refusing to put their cigarette butts somewhere that won't be snatched up by a hungry and devious cat; these snapshots of neighbor quarrels are something else. 

Check out the time that some neighbors went full petty, so a guy towed in a pro revenge.

All kinds of unnecessary drama can arise between roommates, and so much of the drama is sourced in people refusing to practice common social decency. In this case, we have a cheap roommate who thinks they can stop paying for utilities with no consequences. Well, that's not how the world works, and they learn this lesson in the field of common sense through a nice petty revenge. 

Karen decided to show up 30 minutes before her flight, and in the rage-fueled panic that ensued she ended up missing out on her own TSA pre-check. Wonder if she learned her lesson in the value of taking a deep breath, being respectful to those around you, and from there greatly increasing the possibility that other folks will actually want to help you.
