The World's Pettiest Revenges

Oh boy, we've got a fresh collection of people taking ridiculous petty revenges on one another. Some folks just refuse to let other people's unconscious behavior roll off their back, and instead they proceed to hatch masterful, crazy petty revenges. These people certainly held nothing back. 

Check out another juicy petty revenge tale with this sister who always stole her sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at the graduation.

Text - Ms Baker ( not her name) my teacher I this last year of primary school hated to have me in her class, first I could not sing (she lead the school choir) and second I was a handicapped kid that they had failed to get rid off to special education school. The first thing she did was assigning me seating at the back of the room, all other kids were rotated regularly in seating, I stayed there. This lead to some problems due to misheard instructions or words during dictation. At the end of the

During my break I decide to go to Taco Bell cause I know l'll be missing lunch cause I gotta go shopping. My co-worker who was sitting in her car smoking at the time I left saw me leave and when I came back she was in my previous spot. I don't say anything about this, but inside my mind I'm like 'Alright, I see how it is. Let's

Our family is pretty scattered around but we made a trip every year to see her in the summer while she was alive and have a family reunion.

5.

Text - Now this particular year my mom who is granny's daughter, suggested we all return the month after the family reunion for her birthday and a family dinner. My moms brother and her niece (not that brothers daughter but daughter to her dead brother) immediately jumped all over the plans, invited half the town and turned it into a massive surprise party, excluding my mom from the plans. My mom said nothing in the plans continued, we went for the usual, scheduled trip and the family reunion. W

Text - We stayed in town about a week to spend time with her and when we all were leaving one of my aunts remarked that we really surprised Granny, it was then my mom started cackling like the wicked witch of the west. It turns out that when we were there previously, my grandmother was sad that we were leaving, She told my mom that she didn't want everyone to leave until my mom took the opportunity to tell her "don't be sad we're coming back in a few weeks for your birthday. Don't tell anybody.

So I take my brothers my sis and her boyfriend for a little lunch to a buffet, nothing major. Well this buffet let's people order custom items (think a hibachi) so I order. We all sit and have a fun chat then the food is ready I go pick it up then I move away to wash my hands before eating, I'm starving by

Text - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/wonderlandsfinestawp • 2d Hog all the parking at the top of the hill? Enjoy waiting to get out of the driveway! This happened years ago, back when I was still working residential healthcare. One of the houses that I worked at had a really steep driveway that lead from the road up to the front door/garage. There was room to park at the top of the driveway, in front of the entrance, and there was more than enough room for two cars to park side by side in this area. S

Text - Cue a coworker whose name I couldn't remember if I tried. In addition to the healthcare work, she was also a correctional officer and had this "I'm boss/l'm better than you" air about her. Which explained why she liked to park her truck right in the *middle* of the parking area at the top of the hill, taking up both spots. I mentioned it to her two or three times, that if she parked a bit further over to the right or left, we would both be able to park there and I wouldn't have to go thro

10.

Text - The next night I was relieving this particular co-worker at this particular house, sure enough, she had her truck hogging up the entire upper parking area. So I pulled my car up right behind hers, blocking her from pulling out. I clocked in, checked in with her about any important information about the clients, then excused myself to the bathroom while she got ready to leave. Less than thirty seconds after going into the bathroom, she's knocking at the door to inform me that my car is blo

Text - Naturally, I act shocked. "Oh no! You can't get around it? Shoot, I thought for sure I left enough room for you to get around it! Alright, so sorry about that, just give me a minute and l'll be right out." I then proceeded to kick back and play on my phone for the next ten minutes, leaving her standing outside the bathroom door with an attitude so strong I can practically feel it pulsing through the door. Once I decided she waited long enough, I made a show of flushing the toilet and wash

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/mcg42ray • 20h + Join 1 Run a red light in front of me? Talk to the cop who's just behind me. I don't like red light runners. It's really dangerous. But I got my revenge. Once. This was (mumble) years ago. I was doing my usual commute and had just missed a light so I was first at the intersection and others were lining up behind me. It's a sunny day in California so l'm just looking around and I spot a CHP (California Highway Patrol) car in the next lane over and one car

Text - As the light's about to turn green I see across the intersection a car approaching fast in the left turn lane to turn in front of me, and it's clear that they're not going to succeed at beating the light. It's not even going to be close. My light turns green, I start to move forward as if I didn't see them, then slam the brakes and hit the horn, and they go zooming past in front me. It was all for show and I didn't even get into the intersection, but sure enough, Mr. CHP noticed and makes

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/mundane_days • 2d + Join 1 2 2 e 2 3 2 Don't live here and keep parking in my assigned spot? I didnt want to give the ending away in title. Little background. I live in an apartment complex that has been taken over by new management. Hes a great landlord, but has been slow to truly implement some rules in the leasing contract. One of the rules is this: only one parking space per owner. Meaning, visitors must park on the public street in front of the building.

15.

Text - Now, when I first moved in, last year, they didn't have assigned spots, so you would just kinda park wherever. This past summer, landlord and maintenance spent an entire day re-painting lines and assigning each spot a number to correspond with apartment numbers. It has been brought up in memos and meetings that he will start to implement the towing of non-authorized vehicles and has even hired someone to keep track of this (apparently) This hadn't been an issue until I went back to work.

16.

Text - This last time though? Pissed me off. I was getting my kids in the car to take them to school. There's this car that is creeping the parking lot, and I know saw me parked in my spot. They left. I happened to get out of the parking lot just in time to see them turn back into the lot. I followed them back in and my suspicions were confirmed. He parked in my spot. I pull up, with my window down, and yell at him that I live here and that is my assigned parking. They moved.

17.

Text - Again, I had to work that night. I leave, and come back to find a DIFFERENT vehicle parked in my spot. This would make 5 different vehicles in the span of two weeks. (There are also signs posted in front of each spot that only one spot per owner and violators will be towed) I parked directly behind them. I ended up blocking the previous car that I yelled at and the new car (I was horizontal compared to their vertical) and made sure I left room for other vehicles to get through the lot. Yo

Tumblr Thread: Elves Are Flat Earthers For A Reason

As it turns out, Legolas doesn't need to worry about that silly horizon. Nor does any other elf in Tolkien's wild word. Tolkien lore actually shines light on the true nature of elves, and their ability to see the world as a flat disc, while everyone else sees it as a globe. Pretty fun stuff. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the crude king of satire, Skweezy Jibbs.

Text - Text - dvandom So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth). But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven. To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere...but left elves able to treat it

Neighbor Gets Hostile With Gramps, Gramps Teaches Neighbor A Lesson

Man, nothing quite sinks the spirits like when you realize you have a nasty neighbor next door. We're all just trying to coexist reasonably peacefully, but some neighbors make that seem like an unattainable reality. Take this neighbor for instance. Grandpa tried to have a simple chat with the dude, and the dude proceeded to be nasty, and shove Grandpa's considerate kindness right back in his face. Well, Grandpa pulled off quite the successful long con from there. 

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance u/[deleted] • 1y + Join 1 3 3 Neighbor tells Gramps he should "mind his own damn business". That advice costs neighbor most of his yard and a car. L Gramps had just moved into a retirement park with a lot that backed up to county land that was a nature preserve. His backyard was basically non-existent, but he didn't mind as he got to look out over the preserve, however he did marvel at how his next door neighbor's backyard extended a good 8ft past his, giving neighbo

2.

Text - Gramps tried to be friendly with all his new neighbors, exchanging phone numbers and the like, and one day he noticed the next door neighbor was putting down expensive pavers that extended from his back door all the way to the old fence posts that designated the preserve boundary. Gramps watched the neighbor yank the three rickety fence posts out of the ground and move them back an extra two feet into the preserve before pounding them back in, then started to clear the land, intending to

3.

Text - Nothing happens that year, but the following year when most of the park emptied out to head north for the summer the county comes by to check on the preserve. Gramps notices them going back and forth behind his neighbor's house, the workers are pulling out maps and taking photos and making phone calls and soon more guys show up. Turns out neighbor has moved the posts several times over the years, and in reality his backyard is supposed to be even smaller than Gramp's backyard! To make it

4.

Text - Gramps goes over to read it, and it states that neighbor was in violation of encroaching onto protected lands, he has 30 days to move his car, tear up the pavers and pay a fine of $11,000 (because of damage to endangered species who inhabit the protected lands, as well as trespassing fees). Failure to do so within 30 days will result in golf cart & car being towed and impounded, pavers will be dug up and carted off at neighbor's expense and the fine will increased for every additional day

5.

Text - 30 days comes and goes, so a week after that Gramps has quite the show as first the car and cart were towed, pavers were dug up and hauled off, and the old fence posts and ropes were replaced with metal posts embedded into buried cement bases, connected by steel cables. Whole process took several weeks to finish, but the preserve looked a lot more legit when they were done. A few solar cameras were installed so the county could monitor the wildlife (and encroachers) remotely, meanwhile mo

6.

Text - By November the snowbirds were flooding back into the park, including neighbor. That was Gramps' 2nd show of the summer as neighbor reads all the notices, digging down until he reads the first one, then runs out back and starts screaming and cussing up a storm before running back to his car to dig out his cell phone so he can call the county to find out where his car and golf cart were. Gramps stays indoors to avoid the guy as he is frantically trying to unload his car, turn on his water

7.

Text - Three days later neighbor catches Gramps outside and asks if he was here when the county "stole his car and destroyed his backyard". Gramps said he was, and neighbor says "well why didn't you call me when you saw them putting notices on my door? You had my number up north!" Gramps said he had thought about doing that, but figured neighbor would prefer him to "mind his own damn business", so he decided against it. 35.1k 587 ↑, Share

Plane Makes Emergency Landing On Highway
 

A small plane had to make an emergency landing on a Minnesota highway, hitting an SUV in the process. No injuries were reported. Luckily for everyone, the pilot of the small plane was Craig Gifford, an award-winning acrobatics pilot. He said he had to make the emergency landing after experiencing engine failure. All in all, not a bad person for the job.

Frustrated Owner Posts All The Stuff Their Cat Steals

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.

Man Tries To Scam Hotel, Hotel Squashes Attempt With Camera Evidence

Man, the people in this world that try to lazily pull fast ones on the hard working folks in the customer service industry, are something else. This guy was certainly in over his head when he tried to collect a refund from a hotel with a crappy excuse. He wasn't ready for them to have the camera evidence to debunk his little scam. Nice try, bud. 

1.

Blue - E r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk u/mstarrbrannigan • 192d + Join 1 When a scammer thinks they know the tricks Long Just before 2pm I checked in a guy. Normal check in, nothing noteworthy. Just before 3pm he returns, keys in hand. I think nothing of it, we call them "boom boom rooms." Except when I get to the window to collect the keys, he tells me there was an issue with the room. He thinks the shower was leaking because the floor in the bathroom was all wet.

2.

Text - Okay, sorry about that. Let me call maintenance. I start to step away, and he starts saying that it actually just looks like someone got water all over the floor and housekeeping didn't clean it. Well, I know the housekeepers and I know a fuck up like that just ain't gonna happen. So I tell him l'm going to have maintenance come be sure because we don't mess around with water leaks. Even though I was already starting to see red flags. I step away to make the call before he can say anythin

3.

Text - So I finish the call and go back to the window. I ask him if he wants to stay in that room, or if he'd like to switch. Actually, he wants a refund for the issue. I apologize and say in this case I can't issue a refund more than fifteen minutes after someone has checked in, and it had been an hour since he checked in. We're having maintenance come look at the room, and I offered a different room. That's what I was able to do. He then tells me he was only in the room for fifteen or twenty m

4.

Text - That's leaving out the part where the nearest Doove and Boosters is in the next town over, and there are a number of hotels much closer to it. Again I tell him I can't issue a refund. If he'd like to take it up with the Owner tomorrow he is more than welcome to do so. He reminds me that they have more people coming, and I ask him if he would like his keys back. He would not, he wants a refund so he'll call the Owner tomorrow. He also hands me his business card, and asks me to pass it on t

5.

Text - I scroll back to right when he's checked in, and hit fast forward. About five minutes after he checked in, he heads into the room with a girl he was not with at check in. The Owner returns while I'm fast forwarding to see when they left the room. There is nothing wrong with the shower. It's obvious though that both the bed and shower have been used. The couple leave the room forty minutes after they entered, not the fifteen to twenty minutes the guy had claimed. The Owner asks me to pause

6.

Text - So I hit play in order to switch from forward to backward and we hear them laughing on the camera, because oh yes dear reader, the camera has a microphone. So I scoot the video back far enough so he can get a look at their faces. We hear them talking, not saying much of anything of significance. Then we hear, "I'm going to go get a refund haha [inaudible as he laughs and moves away from camera]." No you're fucking not. Update: He did not call today, and the Owner didn't call him. I strong

Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous. 9. Who needs rhetorical questions? 10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Twitter Thread: Cheesecake Factory is A World of Contradictions

Anyone can tell you that The Cheesecake Factory is a building full of paradoxes. It's like it's telling you with all its heart that it wants to be fancy with all the lighting and the columns, and then you sit down and drink out of a plastic cup. Cheesecake is great, but the place itself really makes you think "how does this place still exist?" Maybe it fits the bill of "a place people can agree to go to." @MaxKreigerVG got extremely deep about America's gaudiest Cheesecake vendor.

People's Creepiest Theories On The Nature of Reality

Most of us aren't scientists, but we do have decent imaginations, so boy are we compelled by weird and freaky explanations for existence, aliens and free will shenanigans. Weird stuff happens all the time, like these people's weirdest butterfly effect moments from small decisions. Armchair theories on existence get to be a lot, so here are some lighter conspiracy theories people believe for fun.

Man Tells Girlfriend To Stop Making TikToks About Them

Even though this guy's girlfriend might be putting together those TikToks out of the kindness of her heart, that doesn't mean that it's also not generating a whole lot of flack for the poor guy. The dude's already just trying to muddle through a reasonably peaceful life as a soldier on a military base. Last thing he needs is to get continually roasted by fellow soldiers on his base, for the ridiculous TikToks his girlfriend keeps churning out. Maybe if she just steered the focus away from their relationship, and put it on other stuff, it'd work out a bit better for everyone.

Ex Wife Demands Man Remove Stuff From Storage, Malicious Compliance Ensues

All kinds of toxicity and pettiness can come to the surface when ex lovers are muddling through nasty breakups. This particular scenario involves an angry ex wife who demands that her ex removes all of his stuff from their storage unit. He proceeds to do just that, but it would seem that his ex wife was not ready for him to take the request completely to heart.

People's Most Embarrassing Office Christmas Parties

Office Christmas parties have a tendency to spiral out of control quickly. It could be all the aggressive enthusiasm and nerves that are already engrained into the holiday season, or people just letting themselves go a bit too much in honor the season. But alas, sometimes people manage to keep it together and actually have a genuinely, reasonably mannered good time. It's rare, but it can happen.

We all got two free drink tickets and decided to try to get the strongest drinks I could think of-Long Island Iced Teas. I thought I could handle my alcohol, but those were strong. Long story short, we were all really into cheering for our knight. I was standing on a chair cheering, and promptly fell right off. The good thing is only a few sober people seemed to not

But people had told me they dress Christmasy for the party. W hat they meant was red ties with a snowman tie pin or snow flake jewelry or little details like that. No one told me that Christmasy meant "well add an almost unnoticeable amount of Christmas to your normal outfit". I embraced it though and ma

Man Takes Nuclear Revenge On Karen Landlord

Shady and greedy landlords are the absolute worst. There's no denying it. What we have here though is a totally different kind of terrible landlord. This particular landlord put their tenant in harm's way with an inconsiderate demolition project, and a whole lot of other bad stuff. If you're looking for some more juicy landlord revenge drama after reading this tale, check out the time a landlord tried to keep a security deposit, and then a petty revenge ensued.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/hasad802 • 2d 1 2 3 3 5 1 Refuse to pay $60 to fix my roof; okay; I'll close your building site down and cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars! Names, places and timeframes have been changed as per rules. Characters in this story: My friend (Who I will call Brian), Bullying demolition man we will call Keith, greedy property developer we will call Karen and the insurance assessor.

2.

Text - This tale of this nuclear revenge happened a while back and is a work in progress. It is too good not to tell and I will try and keep you updated down the track. Brian's neighbour is a typical greedy career landlord that left their rental house in disrepair. The poor tenant was living in the cold house, raw sewerage leaking on to the lawn and holes in the house that you could see light coming out of the house. After multiple requests from Brian, Karen refused to get any repairs done. When

3.

Text - Brian and his wife with their limited funds were able to get sufficient lending from the bank and offered to buy the house and do it up themselves to improve the neighbourhood or rent it out as there is a massive shortage of rental properties in our local county. Greedy Karen did not want to sell, nor did she want to spend a cent on the house to remedy the rodent problem. She also did not care about the effect the house was having on aesthetics of the street.

4.

Text - (It is important to know that Karen and her wealthy family have over a hundred rental properties and due to lax tax laws in this region, they do not pay a cent and can get tax write offs when their properties deteriorate then can claim on this as a loss- Long story short, some of them appear to be leaches on our society and are one of the reasons property prices are so high and rent prices are sky rocketing in our area. Her Husband is also the chairman of the states landlords association.

5.

Text - Fast forward five years and Brian finds out the house is going to be demolished to make way for some new houses to go in on the small section. That's good news at least, though Brian and his wife were anxious about how smoothly the demolition would go due to the fact the houses are quite close to each other. This is important for later: Prior to demolition the company doing it had to get samples from all sides of the house to check for asbestos. Either Karen made it difficult for the comp

6.

Text - Demolition day came around and Brian was concerned that no safety barriers had been put up to protect his house from falling bricks of the chimney nor was there anything from stopping dust and debris going all over his new deck and porch area. Later that day, Brian had the pleasure of meeting Keith. Keith is the demolition company manager that is well known around the district for only caring about money and has little regard for people or property. Keith was doing the demolition himself

7.

Text - Brian phoned up demolition man Keith to ask about what went wrong. Keith initially played down the damage... despite there being 200 bricks laying on Brians roof. Even with the damage done, no apology and the rude attitude of Keith, Brian kept his cool. "Since I did a little bit of roofing when I was younger, I can fix up the roof if you just get me four new sheets of roofing iron and we will call it even. Don't worry about paying for paint, I can sort that out when I paint the whole roof

8.

Text - "Not happening pal, your roof is f*cked anyway, Il'll get you a sheet of second hand roofing iron from my yard to repair the the damage on roof and I can come and hose off the dust off your deck and dog kennel". Queue the nuclear revenge. The revenge was not intentionally nuclear but Brian had a dilemma that his roof was damaged and he needed it repaired, there was rain and snow forecast later in the week and he shouldn't be out of pocket having to buy new materials to fix his own roof up

9.

Text - Brian got in contact with his insurance company and due to the issue involving a roof, a building assessor arrived that day to assess the claim. The assessor would then be able to seek damages from the landlord or demolition company if he found them to be at fault. Brian also reported the demolition company to the local health and safety authorities due to their lack of safety precautions used when doing the demolition. The assessor got on to the roof with Brian and was mortified to hear

10.

Text - "Luckily thanks to covid we already have masks on Brian, this here looks like it is asbestos... I don't know how they got the sign off to get this house knocked down in this manner. You don't know at the time of being exposed to this stuff but if you breath in these fibres it can cause serious diseases later on in life including lung cancer. I'll get this sent off to the lab for testing and will be in touch".

11.

Text - Fast forward another day and Brian was contacted by his insurance company. It turns out the side of the house that wasn't tested was clad in asbestos. Not just any bad asbestos, the worst possible type you can get. Insurance will be seeking damages to replace Brians whole roof not just the damaged part. The cost of replacement is likely to be around $20,000 USD. This is the cheap part. The demolition site has been shut down by local authorities and there needs to be a massive decontaminat

12.

Text - The cost for this clean up will likely be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars but who will pay for this is unknown at this stage. Whether it is Keith or Karens insurance or them personally, time will tell. In regards to Brian, his family and their dog potentially being exposed to the asbestos, that is another battle for them to fight and I will keep you updated. brief update 1 I have just been on the phone to Brian for half an hour. His work place were very sympathetic and paid for hi

13.

Text - Brian is worried now that the landlord is going to try make his life hell. She is also a lawyer apparently. Karen was the person that offered the old roofing iron apparently not Keith. She spoke to her husband who said that because the bricks dinted the roof it means it must have been rusty and old so doesn't need new iron put on. Keith did however go nuts at Brian for getting insurance involved and also the health and safety investigation unit who are currently doing the investigation. I

14.

Text - Brian asked the investigation office person by phone about what to do about his dog and if they needed vet checkup etc. They were 1m away from the fence which is about a foot from the asbestos when it was broken up. They responded saying "do you think your dog will live more than 20 years? if not I probably wouldn't worry". Brian is also thinking the landlord is probably scheming revenge of her own. Brian paid for a new fence himself a few years back to border Karens rental as when he mov

15.

Text - Brians plan is that he will pull the nice expensive fence down entirely and put 600mm high chicken wire mesh up as this is all that is required by law and there is nothing she can do about it legally as he paid for and built the fence. I will continue to keep you all updated. Also as I know the local newspaper editor I have offered to go with Brian to discuss this story with them once the investigation is completed if Karen tries to make life difficult and also expose Keith for his dirty
