While that might sound outrageous, keep in mind printers have already normalized that type of thing for years—even new cars have started coming with basic features locked behind subscription-based grifting models. While this is bad, it's even worse when…

'One day, I had enough of it...[I] typed four simple words': 20+ Petty people share their funniest moments of payback

Don't just get petty— get creative. Try to become so petty it strikes fear (or laughter) into the hearts of those around you. Become formidable and unchallenged by societal norms! Communication comes easily for some people, but for others it can be intimidating. Instead of asking for what they want, they'd rather use passive-aggressive behavior to get what they desire. In some cases, it's the safer option: you never know how a stranger might react to you asking them to switch seats with you on…

It's important to remember in any circumstances where you want to circumvent security and gain entrance to somewhere that you're going to need to get out as well… and the same thing applies when you're trying to get back into somewhere you've gotten out of. Anyone who ever snuck out as a teenager knows exactly how this goes: getting out is pretty easy, but getting back into your room in the wee hours of the morning without waking anyone is exceedingly more difficult.

Karen throws fit at neighbor for using her electricity to mow her lawn, cue payback: 'I can't pick my neighbors, but I can pick their lock'

For the full context, this dude shared a duplex with his aggressive Karen neighbor and had decided to mow the lawn once the grass was overgrown and overdue. After taking care of his half of the lawn, he thought it would be kind (and aesthetically appealing) to mow the other half of the lawn, which belonged to the Karen. She never enjoyed upkeep, anyway.

Resident gets back at vacationing neighbor after damaging his car: 'I graciously helped myself to half a freezer's worth of meat'

What a silly idea for this dude to damage his neighbor's car and then have the audacity to ask for favors! That's right.

'This is the story of how I got back at them': Impolite construction workers bother hotel staffers and guests, employee finds a petty way to retaliate

The crew staying at u/cavelioness's hotel was no different: they were starting their days before the hotel staff could even provide breakfast for them. Next, this retail boss wanted his employee to add a major responsibility to their job, but that employee refused, writing, “ I got fired and cost the store approximately $…
