The rule of thumb seems to be here that if you have to ask, it's probably illegal.

Anyone who has ever worked in the industry (or even not) understands the grueling nature of just getting through shifts with as little drama as possible. Whether it's fielding a toxic wave of Karens that have a bone to pick with anyone in their near vicinity, or just trying to collect enough tips from customers to make ends meet; the job is not easy. Well, the job is made a whole lot worse by nasty coworkers like this one who have a knack for staging dramatic breakdowns over the most trivial of things. This waiter handled their coworker though. 

It's stories like this that can make people feel like the only people they can trust are themselves. This guy was borrowing money from tons of people, with what would seem to be no genuine intention of actually paying them back. Unfortunately, this guy's tactics didn't get the guy to reconsider his approach to life and finances. Oh well. 

This landlord thought they'd just go and keep another unprepared tenant's security deposit. Apparently, mean landlord's tactic was to just hire a lawyer, and then proceed to bump up tenant's claim to a higher court. Unfortunately, this strategy proved successful for them for far too long. Fortunately, we've got this petty revenge success story from a tenant who beat them at their own game. 

Check out some more juicy landlord drama with this landlord who was jealous of a tenant's income, raised the rent, and proceeded to get rightfully defeated.

How do court recorders keep straight faces?! 

There's nothing that quite grinds one's gears like reading about a maniacal business manager who misplaced their moral compass and decided that they'd try to take advantage of hard working employees that don't know any better. It's some of the scummiest behavior that human beings can end up subjecting other people to, especially in the service industry. The woman in this AITA story asked folks whether or not she was in the wrong for alerting her old coworkers to why she quit the gig. People seem to be in agreement that what she did was nothing but righteous. 

Who's the real thief in this situation. 

And that's why it pays off in the long run to document everything. This is a genuine professional revenge. You love to see it.

Man, nothing is worse than realizing you've ended up sharing a roof with a completely terrible roommate. In this case, we've got a horribly smug roommate who simply refused to pay their rent.

Man, any time we see a landlord try to pull a fast one on a tenant, and then the tenant proceeds to teach them a lesson, it warms our hearts.
