“Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold, With A Dash Of Pettiness”: Stories Of People Getting Their Revenge

I have a friend whose fall pumpkin display at the end of his driveway would be run over by the neighborhood jerk. This happened every year, on repeat until my friend decided to put a stop to it. 

He put together a master plan and got to work. Firstly, he withdrew money from his savings account so he would have enough to buy the largest pumpkin he could find, along with several large bags of Quikcrete. 

What he did with that combination was what I hadn’t seen coming. He filled that pumpkin up, polished it up, and made a really pretty display.

 If you were not privy to his plan you wouldn’t have suspected a thing. 

As if on cue that year, the neighborhood jerk tried to do the same thing he had done for years but this time, karma was there to crush him. He rammed straight into the concrete pumpkin and broke the axle of his shotty car when he hit it.

As if all that wasn’t enough, when he was trying to figure out what to do because his car was immobilized, my friend called the tow truck and had it towed. 

It was a petty affair but it was so glorious.

Back when we were younger, our mailbox got taken out a lot. It was so consistent that it happened once a month. Finally, after the 10th mailbox and post, my dad was fed up.

I remember asking him what he was going to do about it and his response sent chills down my spine. It was the first time I saw him looking that serious. 

Dad: [sounding somber] “Oh don’t you worry son. By the time I’m done with them, they will realize that hell can be brought on earth”

The next day my dad got an 8-foot I-beam and buried it 4 feet down and filled in the hole with quikcrete. Looking at it from the outside no one could have ever known.

Sure enough, the next time it got hit, the jerk who did so wrapped his car around it. It was so bad that the mailbox pole was sticking out of the middle of his car.

After that incident, our mailbox was never hit again. That had to be the cleanest revenge I had ever seen.

I lived in an apartment with a roommate. We had neighbors who would throw crazy parties pretty frequently, oftentimes during the week. It was annoying and they never had consideration for the neighbors. 

One day my roommate who had to be awake early had enough and decided to piss in a metal pizza pan and stick it in the freezer. After the crazy party, he pulled the pan out and flipped it upside down giving him a frozen disc of piss.

He then slid that disc under their door where it would melt on their fully carpeted entryway. We woke up to them shouting at the people who crashed there about who pissed on the floor and what the heck was wrong with them. 

Wish I could say they toned down their parties, but they didn't and eventually got evicted.

Back when they were in high school, my brother-in-law did something to irritate my wife, so she decided to teach him a lesson by going after what he loved the most- his entertainment. 

My wife turned off the TV and wrote "broken" on a piece of paper taped to the TV.

 She then shut off the power strip and flipped the batteries around in the remote. 

It took my brother-in-law several days to figure it out and by the time he did, my wife had had her fun. So petty but hilarious all the same.

I used to manage a Starbucks when one of my baristas asked a guy his name and he just flipped out and started belittling her. He called her stupid etc and didn’t give a name. 

Anyway, I took over the handoff drinks and placed his drink on the handoff counter with no words. I’ll add it was a busy store with a lot of people waiting.

I just keep putting drinks out for about 10/15 minutes and the douchebag walks up and picks up his drink that’s now lukewarm.

Douchebag: [shocked] “Is this mine?”

Me: [nonchalantly]: “I don’t know it doesn’t have a name on it”.

It felt so good.

I heard this story from my mom since it happened before I was even born. 

The neighborhood kids would go around hitting mailboxes with bats back then. This obviously pissed my dad off but he hadn’t caught them red-handed yet so he had no proof.

One time, however, he was home just as they tried their shenanigans again. He was just walking around the side of the house just as they were getting near ours, bat in hand.

This is where my dad’s background comes into play. You see, my dad is a black belt in “Kuntao” or something like that. 

His master was a very talented guy and he taught him all sorts of things. 

One thing to learn to stop a fight before it even begins is to “attack with your voice.” That booming yell that you feel like it hits you and lets them know you mean business so that people think twice before getting physical.

So as he sees these little rascals hitting mailboxes, he breathes in and goes:

[loudly] “YOU WANNA DIE?!”

Instantly the rascals ran away leaving their bats behind. He ran after them a bit just to really scare ‘em but judging from their pants he didn’t need to. Job done.

Back in the late 90s, I worked at Best Buy and one Saturday a month we had to come in 3 hours before the store opened (so 7 a.m.) for a mandatory all-store meeting where we watch the video from corporate, give out an employee of the month awards, go over department goals, and the like.

 Well, there was a guy in our department, James, who was a pretty crappy worker and showed up to the meeting an hour late so the manager took him aside and fired him. 

Well, apparently the manager didn't watch him on his way out of the store so he went into the break room and stuck his finger in every single doughnut they brought in for our break! 

Literally, the only mild positive of getting up at 6 on Saturday was ruined. 20 years later, I still miss that doughnut.

I caught my flatmate telling lies about me to some mutual friends. This pissed me off so much that I began to make plans to move out the next month. 

In the meantime, she went out of town for a week and left her car parked in its usual spot in the parking lot. If she had known what I was going to do, she probably would have parked elsewhere.

For the next few days, until she got back, I threw birdseed on her car every morning and evening, so that when she came home, the birds wouldn't leave her car alone.

It was petty but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy her constant yells of frustration every morning.

At my previous job, we had separate refrigerators for the different shifts. The problem that we had was that our food was constantly being stolen or messed with, so we came up with a plan. 

My buddy and I decided to make a nice cherry cheesecake... out of cooking lard. 

We finished it off with graham cracker crust and cut a couple of slices out of it since we knew the thief wouldn’t be brazen enough to take the first bite. 

We never found out who the thief was, but we never had to worry about anyone messing with our food ever again.

My college roommate had a bad habit of leaving her things in piles on our bathroom floor until there was almost no space to walk to the bathroom or toilet. Not just clothes but change, jewelry, decks of playing cards, knitting needles, books, hairpins, scarves, earbud headphones, keys, etc. 

One day she left $40 scattered with the mess, so I put the money in one of her lesser-used bathroom drawers. Originally I put it there to protect it from our third roommate and her friends. 

When I came home the next day and noticed that she was clearing her mess in an effort to find it, I decided not to tell her where the money was until our bathroom floor was spotless.

Afterwards, I decided it would be too awkward to tell her the truth so I left the money wadded up in her hamper as I'd found it on the floor. She was ecstatic when she found it on laundry day. After that, her bathroom piles never got quite as big.

My friend in high school was such a drama queen but it worked out hilariously sometimes. We all knew him as the petty one in the friend group that you didn’t want to get on the wrong side of. 

One time he was cut off by a driver who had no brake lights and it pissed him off so badly that he followed until a cop was behind, merged around the guy, and then brake-checked him so the cop would see that he had no brake lights. 

The holler he let out when the cop pulled the other guy over is still one of the funniest moments of my life. Like I said, this guy was the definition of petty!

I dated a guy and later found out he had another girlfriend. It was back in the day so I messaged the other girlfriend on MySpace and told her if she wanted to know the truth it would be better to hear it from him. 

I told her to call me and I'll call him on a three-way call. She did and stayed totally quiet on the call while he tried to set up some sexy time with me for later that week. Finally, I spoke up.

Me: [confidently] "I don't think I can do that, ***** might have a problem with it. Wouldn't you, *****?" 

She chimed in,

Her: “Nope, not at all. Screw you” (to him)

He hung up so quickly in a panic. I wished her luck and we parted ways. I have no idea how it turned out for them, but I blocked his sorry ass and still got a chuckle at the moment of pure fear we heard in the silence before he hung up.

I used to go to this arcade and play a certain basketball game. I was climbing the all-time wins leaderboard in said game (very close behind number 1) when one day my account vanished! 

None of the other accounts do, and I learned that somehow the #1 wins player (who works there) had a hand in it. I waited until he played another game and watched as he put in his code for his initials/account and memorized it. 

I then waited 30 minutes when he was done, logged into his account on that machine, and tanked a game pretty hard. When I was done his record dropped to 210-1.

 Unfortunately, I did not see his reaction, but I got way too much vengeance satisfaction from it. He deserved it!

As a teenager, at a slumber party, all my friends were taking part in a pretty epic NBA Jam tournament.

The final boiled down to me vs my best friend and tension was high. He managed to score two baskets in a row and the commentator says, 

“He’s heating up!”

With sheer grit and sincere determination in my voice, I screamed at the top of my lungs 

“HE’S HEATING UP MY BEHIND!!!!”

Twenty years later...I still get slagged over it. I guess I deserve that.

There's a new truck in my apartment's parking lot. For months it has been always taking up multiple spots, ALWAYS. Every day it’s parked at weird angles, sometimes too close to the stairs. It’s just all over the place and unfortunately, there’s no assigned parking. 

I drive a much smaller car than that, and I'm petty and sometimes passive-aggressive, so I've been waiting for my chance. A few days ago, I got my shot and boy, I took it!

I got home quite late and there were zero spots open in my lot. The big truck was double parked again, but there was just enough room on their driver's side for me to sneak in there with my little clown car.

 I carefully pulled in, making sure not to touch anything, no damage, no nothing.

 The passenger-side mirror was half an inch from their driver-side door. I giggled to myself all the way back to my apartment, set an alarm, and waited.

The following morning I woke up before the alarm to a loud door slamming and stomping around. I checked out my window and I saw the double parking culprit walking around both vehicles, taking pictures, texting someone, and taking more pictures. I was shaking with glee. 

He then swallowed their pride, let out a visual sigh, climbed in the passenger side, clambered over the center console, and Austin Powers' 20-point turned himself out of the spot.

I've never been so proud of myself and my silly, petty, passive-aggressive ways.

My friend did some work for a guy who skipped his bill and never paid him. Instead of reporting to the police or doing something similar, he took matters into his own hands. 

Just so you know, my friend is so petty and in this instance he shined! He started by placing fake for-sale ads with too good a deal like a nice boat for 1000$ and other numerous ads with the guy's number. He didn’t stop there. 

Our city is big on garage sales and my friend took advantage of that.

 He posted ads like “moving out sale, everything must go cheap! Will be held inside the house, just walk in or ring the doorbell” and then he put this guy's address on the ad.

As icing on the cake, he also signed him up for numerous “free gym memberships” and responded to things like car dealership ads with this guy's phone number.

He did a lot more, that’s just what I can remember. I don’t know who I feel more sorry for.

I had someone park in my assigned covered space at midnight on a Saturday. This has happened more than once so it pissed me off. I called management to have them towed. Management tells me they don’t tow anymore because the management would have to pay because it was private property so, “tough luck.”

I then parked behind them and blocked them in. There was a block wall in front, so this person was essentially trapped. I left the neighbors each a note on their door letting them know if they needed to leave, they could knock on my door.

At 10 a.m. the next day, I heard frantic pounding on my door. It was some girl hysterical that she had to go to work and was going to lose her job. 

Me: [sternly] Lady, Did you know the space you parked was reserved parking?

Her: [sounding annoyed] Yes I did but it was midnight and there were no other parking spaces and I didn’t want to street park and walk because it wasn’t safe.

Me: Then why were you okay with making me park on the street and walk after midnight?

Her: Look, move your car or I will tow you!

I laughed and went back to bed.

Moments later, I had management call to tell me I was blocking someone in, and if I didn’t move, they would have me towed. I relate the conversation from the middle of the night, the “tough luck” part, and tell them if they tow me instead of the violator in my spot, I am going to sue them for failing to enforce the rules, endangering my safety because the reason I parked that way was that it was after midnight and “everyone knows it is not safe to park on the street and walk”.

I offered to wait for the tow truck and then move so they could tow the “parking violator.” Management then told the girl “Tough luck”. Immediately after she was back pounding on my door and screaming. 

Alerted by the noise, people were now calling management about the lunatic “trying to break into someone's apartment.”

The guy she was with the previous night then showed up at my door. The girl was at the bottom of the stairs crying so hard she had the hiccups. The guy apologized profusely, said he didn’t know she parked in my spot and the management was threatening to evict him. 

Apparently, he had other run-ins and wanted to avoid more trouble. He apologized again and offered me money for my trouble. I told him that wasn’t necessary, I was just waiting for the girl to apologize.

 He nodded, went downstairs, yelled at her, and pointed up to me. She promptly came upstairs and apologized and I moved my car.

It could all have gone much simpler had she started off with a simple apology.

This didn’t happen to me but to my wife. When we were younger and kind of on hard times, she took a pretty shady job at a local factory. 

The first two weeks she was there, she had her lunch stolen at least 5 or 6 times. Nothing was safe, not even open drinks. I was pretty pissed because a lot of times I would have grilled something nice for her or made her lunch, and here she was, going hungry. 

Frustrated, I came up with a plan, and boy did it work! I bought a huge bottle of Gatorade and a box of those women's laxatives, both red in color. You couldn't tell the two were mixed, which is exactly what we were going for.

Safe to say we found out who the thief was in the most explosive way possible.

My friend’s Sprite kept getting stolen even though she wrote her name all over the can. Finally, after the 5th time it happened, she decided to teach this mystery thief a lesson. 

She got a habanero, cut it open, rubbed it all over the top of the can, and left it in the fridge. It wasn’t long before we found out who the thief was in the office. 

That very afternoon, we all heard the office drama queen shriek in her cubicle and run to the water cooler. You could see tears in her eyes from the torture she was enduring.

 She never stole anything again.

I wear hearing aids, and a girl in my math class when I was in high school used to make fun of me. 

I had not said 2 words to her, I gave her no reason to do it, she was just being an evil teen. 

I decided I would not fight her so instead I recorded her mocking my hearing loss on my phone and played it for her parents.

They were livid! They took the new car they just bought her, right back to the dealership. She never mocked me again.

I’ve told this one before, but it makes me happy to retell it.

I had a boss 7-8 years ago whom I hated. She was the fakest and most entitled person I had ever met. One day, she decided that she didn’t like the smell of microwave popcorn...so she waved her magic office wand and had it banned.

Fast forward a month or so. I was browsing Amazon and found one of those USB sticks that emits a smell when plugged in...the smell of buttered popcorn. I bought it, plugged it into the back of her computer, and she had the sweet smell of PopSecret in her office for six fucking months.

 She complained almost every day. It’s the sweetest revenge I’ve ever tasted.

When I was in law school I went to a bar with a bunch of law school students and decided I wanted a cig. I went outside and a whole bunch of girls were smoking. 

I don’t like to bum cigarettes, but I had a free small fry coupon from McDonald’s. I offered it to the girl if she would give me a cigarette, and she said okay. I handed it to her, and then she wouldn’t give me a cigarette. She looked at me and said,

 “You shouldn’t be so trusting.”

Flash forward a few months, and I’m the head GA for the IT for a division in our university, which includes administration. I went up to replace a computer and saw the same girl - she was waiting in line for a job interview. 

I have never been happier. I immediately went up to the person who was conducting the interviews (I was their IT person too) and told them the story. Safe to say that she didn’t get the job.

An uncle of mine was a serious addict and an all-around jerk. When I was a kid it was pretty common for him to steal from my grandparents, including a lot of things they intended to give me when I was older (a coin collection, things like that). There's a long list of things he did over the course of my life to piss me off, but I'll skip to the petty revenge.

I was browsing the local county website and noticed there was a section for active warrants. I wondered if any familiar names were listed so I browsed it and to my complete lack of surprise, I saw my uncle's name listed for something minor. 

I then saw the Crime Stoppers number at the top of the page. I knew where he was living at the time and it was anonymous, so what the hell? I called, described him, and told them where he was. 

They gave me a reference number and told me to call back in two weeks.

For the sake of being thorough, I called a relative from the other side of the family who, funny enough, was not only a cop but also in charge of following up on these things. I told him the situation and he said he'd prioritize it.

Two weeks later I called Crime Stoppers for an update and they said the tip did indeed lead to an arrest and asked which post office I preferred. I was confused but I named one. 

They gave me an alias and told me to give that name to the clerk and there would be a general delivery envelope with $200 cash inside. That part was unexpected but a sweet bonus for sure.

Easiest $200 I ever made.

When I rented, the parking lot of our flat had assigned parking. My wife and I both had cars so I had to pay extra for the extra spot. The first one was complimentary.

One time, we came home around 1 a.m. and some idiot was parked in my spot. Not having it, and not wanting to deal with an overnight parking ban on the street, I park behind him perpendicularly to block him in my spot. 

My neighboring spot was my caretaker’s, who was the chillest guy I've ever rented from. Shot him a text explaining and to call me if he needed out before me in the morning. He laughed and said all was good.

After about an hour of watching TV, I went out for a smoke. I notice this guy's car is running. 

I watch him frantically at 2 a.m. looking around for whose car it is. He sees me and starts complaining about it, not knowing it's mine. 

Him: I just want to go home and don't understand why some people gotta be such jerks

Me: Maybe the owner of the car is mad because you are in his spot. Some people pay extra monthly for another spot, you know 

He gives up and goes back into his buddy's unit. I go inside and go to bed.

In the morning, when I came out, I saw the guy sitting on his buddy's doorstep. I waved at him, got in my car and left. I had just made that jerk sit trapped all night till 9 a.m. 

The look on his face as I entered my car was priceless.

I went to a restaurant for lunch during a work shift. Out of three parking spots somebody decided to park across every single one. There were no other parking spots at the time so that was an extremely selfish move.

Annoyed, I decided to park within half a foot from my passenger side to his driver's door. I ordered and got my food, and then I noticed an older (60+) man leave and walk in the direction of our parked cars. 

When I left the restaurant and walked towards my car, sure enough, he was there, a tray of drinks in one hand and a bag of food in the other, just absolutely struggling to get into his vehicle. He called out to me and said, 

Hey why are you parked like this?!

Me: [unbothered] Why did you park across 3 spots? Act like a jerk and you better expect to be treated like one

My coworker sometimes throws out her lunch in the garbage can at my desk instead of her own, because she claims she can't stand the smell of old ketchup that's been sitting out for a couple of hours.

 I've asked her several times to stop, but she will then just wait until I get up to go to the bathroom and do it, and hide my garbage can under my desk so she thinks I won't see it.

Every time she does it, I wait until she goes to the bathroom, take out the little plastic container that she had ketchup in, and put it away in the back of her bottom desk drawer. 

There are 6 in there now, the oldest is over a month old. So far, she hasn't noticed the smell. I’m going to keep doing it and see how long it takes her to notice.

I had a college roommate who would walk across the room to dump coffee grounds in my wastebasket instead of into the trash can underneath the coffee maker or into the trash can in the hallway (which was still fewer steps than my trash can). 

It was weird, but I didn't say anything. Then one day I came back from class to find that she dumped wet grounds into my trash and flung grounds and droplets of coffee all over a couple of my textbooks and pages of homework, which were sitting a foot away. 

We were rarely in the room at the same time so I left her a note: "Please don't put coffee grounds into this trash can. Thanks! :)" Then I went off to another class.

When I came back later she had a full-blown meltdown over the note and how awful I am for sitting in the room and studying instead of constantly being out and socializing like she does. She yelled at me about how she "can never have friends over;" 

I quietly pointed out that I went back home every weekend and she had the room to herself. Somehow this devolved into her calling her mom and crying hysterically on the phone. I cracked open a book to study and ignored her while covering my ears to shut out her whining.

 When I uncovered an ear to free my hand to turn a page, I caught snippets of the conversation. It sounded like she was going nuts about everything, mainly me ("all she does is STUDY!") but also dorm life and school.

She switched dorm rooms days later. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the coffee thing was some kind of petty revenge for me annoying her by studying. Who knows. College stress was definitely driving her insane, and I should have just gone elsewhere to study.

I had an old roommate who hated tuna and was over dramatic about how much she hated it whenever someone made it. She was the most irresponsible person we’d ever met and wouldn’t do her own groceries and expected us to share our food with her. 

We started cooking with tuna a lot so that she wouldn’t eat our food, and eventually, she stopped throwing fits about the smell and would leave the house. 

We started referring to Tuna as jerk-be-gone.

I used to smoke in secret in high school and I had to keep it from my brother because we were both trying to get my dad's old phone because he was upgrading. 

My dad said we had to agree on who got it or else nobody would get it. Obviously, as the older brother, I was being a jerk about it. Well fast forward a week, it was 2 a.m. and I was smoking in my garage.

He walked in, looked me dead in the eyes, and said 

“Dad's phone is mine” 

He then walked out. 

I had to tell my dad as nicely as possible that I thought my little brother deserved it more than I did. It was the greatest revenge he had ever gotten on me.

I got reviewed at work by a manager I had never met before. I had done everything that I was always told to do, and more, but he still marked me low. 

I know it's because they wanted to avoid giving me a raise, but at least say you don't want to/can't afford to. I'll at least respect your honesty. Anything else is just rude!

Anyway, he told me I didn't go the extra mile but I pointed out that I always do. 

Him: "Well, I never see you do it". 

Me: “Well, maybe if management didn't always hang out at guest services and went around to the other floors, where I am doing my job, you'd have seen me”

That got him to yell at me and mark me poorly for my attitude, but I didn’t care at this point.

Later on, he came up to me and asked me if I could stay late. Given that I'd previously told him I didn't have anything else to do the next day, he probably thought I'd say yes.

I looked him in the eyes and said 

"Sorry, but I don't see that you guys need my help."

I had a roommate in college who would blare their TV in their room and talk loudly on speakerphone well into the night. At that point, I was young and too soft to confront them about it, but I hated it. 

After a semester I had had enough. One time before going out I put my speakers up against our shared wall and blasted Enya’s Only Time on endless repeat. I also locked my door so they couldn’t come in to turn it off. I got back around 3 am.

Back in college, our dorm rooms were laid out like an H with a double bedroom on each side connected by a bathroom in the middle. The bathroom had a lock on the bedroom side of the door so your suitemates couldn't enter your room. 

My suitemates were pretty obnoxious. They never bought toilet paper but used an ungodly amount of it, anytime I left some in the bathroom. They never cleaned the bathroom. They left their hair all over the shower. They would listen to Country music really loudly. 

I just didn't like them at all. My roommate and I were leaving for the weekend and knew that the suitemates had a campus ministry event so they'd be staying there.

 On our way out, we put the Muppets' "Ma-nah-mah-nah" song on repeat, not so loud that it would be a noise complaint requiring an R.A. to enter the room to turn it off, but loud enough that it would be audible while they were trying to sleep or study, and it would definitely seep into their minds. 

I heard them humming it for months afterward.

My company has a password policy that locks your account after 3 wrong password attempts. 

A few times when someone irritates me I'll lock my computer, switch users, and enter their username with the wrong password 3 times so they get locked out. 

Now they have to deal with the help desk to unlock their account.

I had a roommate who used a lot of spoons. This guy ate a lot of pudding, soup, ice cream, yogurt, etc, and would never wash his dishes. 

I was tired of washing his dishes so I let them pile up in the sink until we got to the last spoon. 

This one I washed and hid in my room each time I used it.

My mother-in-law has a habit of showing up a day earlier than agreed upon. We've had to cancel plans because of her shenanigans.

When our kids were younger, one day my husband made plans with MIL and told her repeatedly that he and I were busy the day before. Two days before the agreed visit she messages saying she's excited to see us "tomorrow" and hubby reminds her "Saturday, we're busy tomorrow".

Anyway, Friday happens. Hubby goes to a work event and is unable to be contacted most of the day. My plans are canceled due to one of the kids throwing up. Nap time rolls around, I settle the kids down and go to enjoy some quiet internet time when there's a knock at the door. 

We don't open the lounge blinds a lot because of nosy apartment neighbors, so I was safe from sight. 

I checked the peephole in case it was the postie, but nah, MIL in all her annoying glory.

I silently deadbolt the door, snuck to the back door, and checked the locks. Then I snuggled into my bed with my kids, to keep them calm in case the knocking woke them. I checked the peephole after an hour and saw her sulking on the front step clearly trying to reach hubby on the phone.

Except I had messaged him "Your mum is here, I'm ignoring her." So he knew why she was calling and ignored her completely. She finally left just before the kids woke from their nap.

The next day when she arrived she asked what I had done the day before and I said: "Nothing. I was home all day".

I found out my then-boyfriend was cheating on me and he threw my dog across the room when we were discussing what he had done. I moved out immediately. More for hurting my dog than anything. 

So as I was moving out I took his entire movie collection and microwaved them one by one. It only takes 3 seconds each. Took me about an hour to go through them all. I put them back in the case, then back where they belonged. 

Not sure if the microwave was still usable, did not really care.

 He was also a manager at a restaurant and would bring home tons of food. They had really nice coolers that the food came in so I called the GM and explained I had moved out and that I wanted to return the boxes. He lost his job.

I then started getting collection calls for him. I gave him the new girl's work and personal number so they could find him.

Don't mess with my dogs.

Back when I lived in DC, one winter we had ~2ft of snow in a single storm. All the area near me was street parking. I decided to go to the store to pick up some new groceries and so I started to shovel out my car. 

It was a couple of minutes drive to the store, so I hoped to be out and back before I could lose the spot. A couple of minutes after I had started, a lady in one of those Infinity SUVs pulled up and idled 20 feet down the road from me as I shoveled.

 After 15 minutes of her idling and several thousand pounds of snow moved, it's obvious she is going to take the spot the second I leave.

I decided after all that hard work, I had better eat and warm up before thinking about going to the store and so, I headed inside.

We went on a family camping trip near the beach in Assateague with 2 couples and our young children. 

We had a great time until a huge family reunion took all the camping spots around us. Probably 30 adults and 10+ young kids. No problem, we're all on vacation so sure, stay up, drink, party on- whatever. 

They were another level of loud, arguing, all-night-long music, fireworks & general craziness. Worse, they put all their children's tents way over on the other side of our two tents. 

Every night, they would send their kids (with the older kids as minders) to their tents and those kids cried, screamed, fought, and beat each other. 

Some ran to us for help and we went to the adult group to let them know. They couldn't have cared less. When we left three days later, my husband and our friend took all our leftover cookies, crackers, and bread and spread them through their campsite early in the morning. 

They called it land chumming and it was glorious. Like an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

I lived in an apartment building with shared laundry. There was one lady across the hall who would ALWAYS take my laundry out of the washer or the dryer mid-cycle and put it on the floor beside the machine so she could wash/dry hers. 

I have no idea what her issue was. It wasn’t because I left my clothes in the machine because I always set a timer on my phone, being paranoid about germs from someone else touching my laundry. Eventually, I got really fed up with her. 

One day when I went to switch my laundry from the washer to the dryer, I found my soaking wet clothes on the floor. I went back to my apartment, grabbed a bottle of bleach, went back to the laundry room, and dumped it in her wash cycle (I knew it was her stuff because she always left her laundry soap on top of the machine). 

She complained to the building manager and signs went up in the laundry rooms saying to not touch others' laundry. She didn’t do it again and I moved out a couple of weeks later.

I called the bakery I used to work at and asked for my boss/owner who verbally berated me for six months for a super complex cake order. 

After wasting about 30 minutes of her time, I told her I wanted custom lettering on the cake. 

I then told her I wanted it to say "I reported you to the IRS for payroll tax fraud".

They sold their business about three months ago.

When I worked at a cafe, I had one lady come in every day before work and make nasty comments. She was horrible.

"So are you going to school, or is this pretty much it for you?"

She got decaf on Mondays and Tuesdays, then regular for the rest of the week to get her used to it again before starting over the next week. I bet every cycle ruined her.

My mum and her friend had a massive fight, and my mum's friend sent a letter to my mum scolding her and pretty much saying, 

"We're no longer friends" 

My mum, as an Ex-Teacher, took out a red pen, corrected all the spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes, and mailed it right back to her. Savage.

My parents told me when they first moved in, these two neighbors FREAKING HATED each other. 

They would constantly fight each other at every pass. 

This went on for years. Finally, one of them moved, and I guess the other neighbors snuck over in the middle of the night and put a locking gas cap on their car. 

That would be an unpleasant surprise to find out when you're hundreds of miles away.

This was actually the other week. Some “friends” and I drove 5 1/2 hours to another town to watch our university play another. I was going around to hang out with my friends from home, and on the day of the game, the ones I came with all ghosted me. 

They didn’t talk to me, left me on read, would decline my calls, etc. so I didn’t get my football tickets. 

Annoyed, I reported their car for being parked in a Walmart parking lot for over 24 hours and it got towed. 

They had to go get their car back while I drove back with another group of students.

Someone, definitely not me, got a parking ticket on my street after the city decided my entire street should be "no parking". 

A party was thrown at a house that definitely wasn't mine and after everyone got well liquored up ratchets with sockets matching the size of the bolts holding the "no parking" signs were distributed. 

Up and down the street small women stood on the shoulders of volunteers removing signs. 

A full street in southern California was liberated from the tyranny of "the man". 17 signs were collected allowing pictures to be taken showing no visible signs for court. The fine was dismissed by a clearly suspicious judge and the peasants rejoiced.
