It's not every day that you get a chance like this thrust upon you—a chance for everything wrong in your life to suddenly sing to the symphonic rhythm of poetic justice. Well, this tech guy got exactly that chance when their boss told them that they needed to increase their sales with “No Exceptions.” This tech guy was working for an internet service provider as tech support when, one day, their boss came in and bizarrely told them that they needed to get their sales figures up. The tech guy wa…

This teacher was on quite the power trip!

One locksmith got back at an annoying customer in the best possible way — which of course the customer absolutely hated. As the OP shared in this classic post , they're a locksmith who makes keys and opens doors and car doors for customers. But at the end of one day, an irritating customer barged in shirtless and demanded service. He didn't become any less of a headache from that point forward! As a locksmith , though, the OP had most of the power in his hands. His business also had a policy th…

Bad behavior and a lack of communication should not be rewarded. If you made your bed, you gotta lie in it. Those are the rules, simply put. You can't expect people to ‘forgive and forget', this isn't a Hallmark movie. Some parents rendered their parental rights when giving their kids up for adoption. And I'm not just talking about legal ones. Yet, much like those pesky spam emails that keep showing up in your inbox, those 3 am calls from a regretful ex, and those forever skyrocketing bills you…

In the service industry, it's incredibly important to be polite and courteous to your “guests,” but occasionally, a chance presents itself that can't be ignored.

Sometimes people need a little bit of monetary consequence to let them know that their actions have been bad; it's the only stimulus that a lot of entitled, narcissistic, or power-tripping people will respond to. And, while I can't agree with the notion that a teacher should normally have to pay for punishing their student's poor behavior, in this instance, it's clear that this teacher was just abusing their power and really mistreating and harassing this poor student. It's incredibly dishearte…

“I told her it was just a joke but she was pissed and now months after the wedding she won't talk to me”

Don't even talk to this police Captain before he's had his coffee! If there's one thing you don't want to do in any line of work, it's depriving your boss of their caffeine while simultaneously wasting their time. That's a recipe for disaster, and you do not want to know how that meal tastes. Unfortunately for this police officer, that's exactly what they did when they blocked off a barista's driveway, which prevented her from getting to work on time. This meant that one of her regulars, the po…

Sharing a washing machine and a dryer with your neighbor is less than ideal. Kind of like having a roommate that you have to consider each time you do… well, anything in your own home. If they are using the washing machine, you just gotta patiently wait your turn. Not everyone was raised with these basic manners, and that is where you can find yourself in some deep, dark, murky waters where the word revenge starts rampaging your brain quite a bit. While scrolling r/pettyrevenge , I came across…

It is often said that you don't realize what you had until it's gone. It's crazy how often this plays out with employers undervaluing their essential over-performing employees for the sake of saving a few dollars or as a means of exerting their power over them. They are then shocked and surprised when the employee decides to seek greener pastures and finds a whole world of other recruiters who are hungry for their experience. Some managers and organizations aren't capable of recognizing that it…

There is no end to the greed of some people; without a written obligation to hold them in check, they will go to any length necessary to screw over everyone else and gain what they see as an upper hand. These psychopathic, narcissistic parasites are a blight on society — running unchecked due to loopholes and lack of consequence. This idiot employer attempted to screw over their analyst, who was handling all of their investments. When they attempted to screw him out of a $70k commission, they s…

If everyone's difficult, you're probably the difficult one!

The audacity of some people has never failed to surprise me. Granted, my neighbors can wreak absolute chaos for no apparent reason (maybe they're bored?) but I'm speaking more generally. Whether you bump into a Karen at the supermarket when all you wanted to do was buy a couple of tomatoes for the pasta you were planning on making later on, to receiving brutally honest (and frankly, unasked for) comments on the street from people who may not be aware that they aren't exactly doing you a favor.…

As some people would enjoy saying, 'Hate to say it but I told you so'. This applies very well here. Private property should be respected, though for some reason this logic apparently goes above the heads of some people. The science of reasoning seems quite scarce these days. People's judgment is clouded by their own stupidity. You can't argue some sense into everyone. Some of us are just itching for Karma to get that one particularly petty and belligerent person back but to no avail. You know t…

It's pretty straight forward.

You should always treat other people with dignity and respect; otherwise — well, they just won't like you very much. That's fine; not everyone needs to like you (and not everyone will), but when these people are also privy to your shady business dealings, and later go on to make decisions for other organizations as to whether or not that organization should be doing business with you, you shouldn't be surprised when they tell the other organization that they had better keep well clear. Whether…
