It's a race to the bottom in this latest story of petty revenge… We're all the heroes of our own story, and the mind has an impressive way of spinning a narrative so that it isn't at fault—especially when that narrative is going to be posted online for fake internet points. But, hey, it's my job to farm other people's fake-internet-point stories and give my own snazzy take on it for my own fake internet points—so I shouldn't be one to judge.

There's nothing like building up a small business with your boss only to have them sell it… leaving your job in the hands of a greedy egomaniac who cares about nothing except making good on their investment. This new owner will often think that they know how to run your business better than you and manage your clients better than you—all while downplaying your experience and contributions to “put you in your place.” This often results in an incredibly predictable outcome; without knowing the nu…

There's petty revenge, and then there's virtuous revenge. This is very much the latter.

This nepo baby can frame this story however they want, but at the end of the day, they're still a nepo baby.

Every so often, you come across a choosing beggar who goes on a full-on temper tantrum.

We all have daydreams about screwing over our former coworkers, right?

If there's one person you don't mess with… It's the person who is in charge of the books. This person has the capability to rock your world in ways that you really don't want it rocked. This was especially true in a time before the internet when there wasn't a thing called a “digital backup,” and often, backups weren't a thing at all. Even if the documents were important enough, were used, and did exist—they'd be at another physical location and would have to be mailed, which could take weeks .…

A nefarious plot by the CEO to lay off all workers at a big-box electronic store triggered a rebellion by the store's manager that would send the corporate entity reeling. Is this a plot line written by George RR Martin? Or a modern retelling of Robin Hood? You be the judge! When the employees of the store accidentally learned of this plot, it was a free-for-all. The manager was angered and made use of his discounting privileges to provide all employees with a once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree…

Divorce, unfortunately, is almost never final… whether ongoing custody battles, financial disputes, or fending off repeated slights from a crazy ex—it's going to haunt you. That being said, there are those who have come to the end of their romantic relationship who somehow manage to make things work and still be friends. Surprising, I know, but it gives me hope that some people do have the capability to be decent and rational. Well, this guy, Redditor u/Nerd_Law, is continuing to be haunted by…

We've all worked with that coworker who completely overestimates their competency, contribution, and capabilities. Whether or not they're blissfully and utterly unaware of their uselessness is never clear, but their work (or lack thereof) makes it plain to everyone else exactly how things are. Still, this person won't hesitate to tell you how to do your job as if it's their job to do so while doing seemingly everything possible to avoid doing any work of their own. I've experienced almost the e…

Sometimes, all you need to do to get rid of an authoritative policy is follow it—to the letter and as infuriatingly often as possible. These policies have usually only been thought out as far as giving the enforcing party a much-desired ego boost; as such, they won't hold any water when placed to the test and have light shed upon them. When these teachers found themselves faced with a ridiculous policy from an authoritative principal, they did their very best to follow that policy to the letter…

This HR department just wouldn't listen to their employees. U/bolshe-viks-vaporub shared this story of malicious compliance against their own employer. As the OP writes, their company got traded to a DoD contracting company, leading to changes in company policy . For the OP, a hard worker who often worked way more than 40 hours per week, things just weren't adding up. They tried repeatedly to contact the company's HR department about the mistake, but were continually ignored. Finally, they deci…

These entitled women have apparently never heard of coffee shop etiquette! U/InbhirNis shared this great tale of petty revenge , which all started at a cafe they frequent near their work. The OP writes that there is communal seating, so they scooted to the end of the table, and were just minding their business before a few women showed up . These women wanted to sit at the communal table , which the OP agreed to. But then the pair started demanding even more seating, and the OP's plan for the p…

Sometimes, you're actively seeking revenge on your ex, but other times, the perfect recipe for revenge just falls right into your lap.

Drunk people can be the worst sometimes– especially when you're sober. The worst thing about drunk folks can be their brash behavior and inability to recognize social cues, boundaries, and appropriate protocol. One man, a morning shift worker who was preparing for a 4AM shift , became the brunt of classic drunkard antics one Saturday evening, but quickly got his revenge. u/itzpiiz, let's call him 'Piz', got mercilessly hounded by a ditzy drunk girl one night. The drunkard had the wrong number a…
