Success is the best revenge

It's often said that you should never stoop to someone else's level and, instead, take the high road and go on to live a better life, beating them through their inability to affect you. Well, truth be told, that's not really all that much fun, and it's not very practical at times since it doesn't really solve the immediate problem at hand. And when that immediate problem at hand is your daily at-home parking situation—well, it's kind of hard to just walk away and ignore it since, you know, you…

No alliances in this neighborhood

This snowboarder isn't going to let anything stop her from enjoying her time on the snowy hills! But one of her neighbors was determined to stop this kid from having a fun time in the snow, as u/Secret_Life_Shh told in her excellent story of petty revenge. Next, these employees got fired for some hilarious reasons , like one guy who “told me he couldn't really move fast (line cook) because his motorcycle boots were too heavy to walk in.”

This tenant and her husband had lived peacefully in their apartment for over two years, never causing trouble, paying rent on time, and dealing with their landlords' agonizingly slow repair schedule without complaint. But one early morning, the tenant was woken by a call from her 75-year-old "Mom-Landlord," screaming at her for parking on the grass. But just a few days earlier, the "Son-Landlord" had told them they could park on the grass while the parking lot was being repaved. But logic didn'…

Going toe-to-tow with the local Karen

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things—even when the relationships are fairly “traditional” and straightforward. Let's be honest, though: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the ones that pretend

Scam calls are nothing new, but in recent years, scammers have been getting more creative with their tactics... and creepier. One scam that's been on the rise involves someone pretending to be a family member in trouble, often a child or grandchild, needing urgent financial help. With AI now able to mimic voices, it's become even more unsettling. But for this childless man, who's been receiving the same scam call twice a year for the past seven years, it's less of a scare and more of a chance t…

Is it really even petty revenge when you revoke your recently ex-employers' access to your personal software that you paid for and were only using for your work out of goodwill? At that point, you're just reclaiming what was rightfully yours, to begin with, and since the company had been effectively leasing your software license, you might as well go ahead and send them a bill for however long they had been using it, too . It's not your fault if they can't properly invest in the resources neede…

Looks like they'll be receiving 600+ texts a day about the beautiful King County, Washington.

They say you should never mix family and business, and this story might just be the perfect example of why. After his son struggled to find work due to a legal incident 15 years ago, a retired father stepped in to help. He hired his son at the family business, hoping to set him up for success. The father, now 74 and mostly retired, still enjoys working occasionally and earns a commission for his efforts. But things have taken a turn. The son, now running the business, has started withholding hi…

This tow truck driver worked closely with local law enforcement after getting the catalytic converters stolen out of his car, converting thievery into cold, hard justice.

This employee seems to think that he and his boss are friends, but let's be real: friends do not treat one another like this. Many folks in the comments section of this Reddit thread called their so-called healthy friendship dynamic into questions, even when it came to their carpooling. Some folks wondered if they even alternate or if the employee is always doing the boss's bidding. The two share an office, and one day, the boss made a snide remark about the smell of the employee's sandwich his…

When a boomer tenant saw his millennial landlord taking a break from repairs, he just couldn't resist throwing in his two cents ( as they usually do ). As the landlord sat down for a quick lunch after working on repairs all Saturday afternoon, the tenant hit him with the classic line: "That's what's wrong with your generation. You have no work ethic. Always need to rest." Little did he know, he wasn't just dealing with a random repair guy. The guy he was insulting actually owned the entire apar…

Note to self: Don't mess with anyone who carries zip-ties in their pockets.

HOAs can be a real pain, especially when you're not even part of them, and they're STILL hounding you. That's what happened to one homeowner who kept getting complaints from a neighboring HOA that he didn't even belong to. The HOA kept pestering him to trim back his tree, but he refused. So, in true HOA fashion, they took matters into their own hands and came over without permission to cut back the limbs. But instead of just taking it, this guy decided to stick it to the HOA in the best way pos…
