We've all learned one critical thing from scouring the Internet for entertaining stories of petty revenge–Never start a feud with your neighbor.

Property lines are sacred. Even in the frontier days when cowboys were hijacking their neighbor's land over a sack of potatoes, the two most important things about land ownership were that you had your name on the deed and that the property lines were drawn extra dark on the map.

Parking permits are a scam in college. Schools know that broke students are barely scraping together enough pocket change to eat instant noodles every night, so why not squeeze out an extra $300 per semester to allow them to park on campus? Clearly, it's a luxury to park your car half a league from your classroom, but not one that every student can afford.

There's this old adage that takes many shapes and forms but usually goes somewhere along the lines of this: You should always be kind, or at least decent, to the people you meet as you never know when even the smallest act may have far-reaching consequences. You've probably heard of or read one of these stories before, and it's one of the oldest tropes for teaching the morale of being kind to others. Where old stories involved a frail old woman or man asking for assistance from a character, onl…

If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk. If you can't, you're in for embarrassment… and possibly even worse outcomes than that. This assembly line worker had an interesting story to tell about what happened to them and his coworker. This coworker, Richard, kept stealing the credit for his work, which is a surefire way to lower that employee's morale. It can be so dispiriting to work for ages on something, only to realize that no one knows you actually did it. When you see the big bosses…

This roommate taught their 'friend' a lesson about consequences that they'll likely never forget.

Lawyers taking on landlords sounds like it's one of those franchise spinoff film in which two villains from different franchises take on each other to see who is the biggest and baddest baddie out there. You're not even really sure why they're feuding, but that's really beside the point of these types of films. You know, something along the lines of Alien vs. Predator, Freddy vs. Jason, or Godzilla vs. Kong , there's certainly a precedent for these kinds of crossovers and Landlord vs. Lawyer de…

Buying and selling a house is a complex affair where all these little legal obligations need to line up perfectly so that, even at the most basic level, at least everyone can move in and out of their current residences at the same and necessary times. Of course, there's a lot at stake, so it's a stressful time, and that's before you factor in that there are plenty of dishonest folk out there, both selling homes and otherwise involved in the process, which makes it essential to be on guard and n…

There are very few chances to bring karma around and let these entitled people know they're acting inconsiderately, but sometimes life presents you with a golden opportunity for some petty revenge.

Being particular about something is all well and good… to a point. You can want something done a certain way with good reason, but overly inflicting your pedantic ways on other people isn't going to make you any friends, and when you're managing a team, it certainly isn't going to win anyone over or inspire loyalty. No, it's always better to have a little flexibility and give your team members agency over their respective roles; letting people do things they're responsible for in their own way…

It's always a good idea to make sure you're not messing with the guy who has access to all of the company's information at his fingertips… Otherwise, things could go pretty poorly for you—if the dozens of stories online on the subject are anything to go off of. This went doubly when that guy was also the one who implemented an all-encompassing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software that is vital to the organization's continued functioning and existence, which he alone knows how to service…

Although, understandably, some policies can't be changed or eased, there should always be room for consideration. Sometimes, even though on paper the policy makes total sense, certain cases prove that there can be exceptions from time to time. Much like the case in this Reddit story. OP (original poster), booked a hotel room a year in advance for next week, which happens to have a solar eclipse event that is highly anticipated. Because of that, when OP booked their room, the room was practicall…

There are so many scams out there nowadays. And with AI, they are becoming more and more believable, too. There are AI scams where scammers use relatives' voices to make it sound like they need money urgently and ask for card information, most often prying upon grandparents. There's also the infamous work gift card scam, fake charity scams, overpayment scams, and so many more. A lot of us experience the agony of getting multiple calls to our cell phones from random numbers. It can be pretty irr…

I object!

Sometimes you've got to take everything but the kitchen sink to send a message to a mooch

There's nothing that will make someone miss you more than your absence, and sometimes, you need to make yourself out of the situation in order for them to fully appreciate you… Especially when that someone is your coworker who has been making you do all their work for them. If you're not around, who's going to do their work? This employee wasn't about to put up with being pushed around for too long, and after putting up with their coworker pushing their workload onto them for the first two mont…
