stealing

Man, just when we thought we'd seen the worst of the worst, when it comes to scumbag managers, we end up happening upon this mess. You've got a couple managers that thought they'd be able to get away with stealing. Well, this employee certainly taught them a humbling, harsh lesson. And talk about a raise that was well deserved!

The only good thing about having a roommate that steals your stuff is that if you tamper with your own stuff, they're in no position to complain about your stuff that they deny taking. This is a pretty common tactic. A similar and more explosive thing happened when this food thief's roommate switched to regular milk.

Crime doesn't pay, especially when you don't know what you're doing. This guy didn't even have to resort to bold trickery to get back at his gas-stealing neighbors. He just altered things very slightly so that a less-than-keen eye would screw things up for themselves. For some other fun tales of retribution, here's a dude who got hounded for trivial debt, so he mailed them a dime.

On general principle, cats have no respect for you or your things and they'll knock your full mug of coffee off the counter just to see what will happen. It makes sense that there'd be a lot of evidence of cats and their crimes. Hey, they want food even when they have it. This point is driven home by the fact that cats probably talk like disparaged Victorian children.

Sometimes you meet someone and you just know they're going to be nothing but trouble without even knowing them. This revenge story's villainous couple certainly gave off those shady vibes. Bill had the audacity to steal the guy's power and water over and over again, and vastly underestimated the guy's capacity for executing a beautiful, calculated revenge. The pool salt was just a plain old brutal touch. 

Check out another glorious pro revenge tale from the same guy over here. Can't decide which one's better. 

How many tales of mistaken identity end with accidentally stealing someone's car for 45 minutes? This guy noticed something was off after he noticed the car seats. Good thing there weren't any kids in them. People make incredibly stupid mistakes all the time, like this woman who had groceries delivers and failed all over the place.

Interacting with a dysfunctional institution is an interesting thing. To see something so big not work correctly is a sight to behold. Whether it's working at a place that inspires a "screw this i'm out" moment, or somewhere that's so bad up front that you get a real red flag interview, or just being a customer at a place so unprofessional it's shocking, we can pretty safely assume that it's better to spend your time in businesses that actually function.

This person gets someone to housesit and feed their pets for a week, then they turn around and make up a bunch of charges for the person? Sounds like the cartoonish demands of an entitled person. And even if paying the utilities was part of the deal, which it wasn't, that number is still way too high. It's impossible to understand what's going on in the heads of entitled folks with audacious demands.

Nothing adds to the entitlement just like the whole "boss's kid" mentality. At least the dad went and did something about it. The kid even tried to frame another employee. For some more work-related foibles, here are the fastest ways people's co-workers got fired. For another kid stepping way over his bounds, here's a manipulative son who tried to sell his mom's house and cancelled her job interview.

A bad roommate can make your home a living hell. When this student noticed their roommate was stealing their stuff, things got serious. This sort of strategy happens with food too, like this guy who ended up baking a cake full of habeneros. 

Some cats bring home dead animals. This one brings home other people's stuff. Sometimes cats are just terrifically weird, like this cat that loves being in the fridge. Sure, it's likely this cat loves stealing gloves, but it goes without saying that this could also be the perfect cover for a person who loves to steal too. For a wholesome cat story, here's a tumblr thread about a human who befriended a cat that doesn't meow.

We like to think our lives are boring and pointless, but sometimes there's office shrimp drama. This underhanded coworker struck a defenseless order of shrimp fried rice and lied through her teeth about it in a way that only a born psychopath could. For more office drama, here's a Karen who threw away an expensive cake before the office fought back.

Being stuck in this mortal coil gives us a lot of opportunities to see trashy behavior that belongs on mount garbage. Maybe it's someone who sells their bathwater as a miracle cure, maybe it's a landlord who openly tries to scam their tenants, or maybe it's just a person stealing literally anything that isn't nailed down. Either way, life brings moments of trashiness that belong on a garbage barge.
