'Call you as soon as I leave the ER': Contractor fakes injury using a photo from the internet to avoid working, gets fired

Contractors have a certain reputation, and while that might not be fair to all contractors and may have more to do with the complicated challenges of sourcing the correct materials in reasonable timeframes, this stereotype exists for a reason. Everyone has had that experience or knows someone who has had that experience with a contractor who repeatedly fails to meet deadlines, fails to communicate, and sometimes just plain fails to show up when everything is already ready to go. Some contractors will famously go to any length and procure any excuse in order to avoid getting the work done on the day.

This exchange, shared on Reddit's r/quityourbullsh*t subreddit, went viral after screenshots of an exchange between a client and a contractor went viral. The screenshots show the client (the original Reddit poster's coworker) trying to get in touch with their contractor, wondering why nobody had shown up to complete the work on their home. The contractor responded with a wild excuse about how they had not been able to show up because of a dramatic injury… using a viral photo shared on Reddit. A quick reverse image search revealed the deceit, and the coworker fired the contractor. 

Read on for the screenshots of this exchange and the reactions from the Reddit thread where they were shared. Next, check out this contractor who got revenge on an entitled client.

'I finally got one over my bro': Guy uses Doctor Who to get petty revenge on brother for scaring him all the time

All those Doctor Who fans out there are going to be fans of this one. Here, we have a petty revenge story that serves as a reminder of the highly competitive nature of sibling rivalry. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/norsewolf98, who recounted a story about how he finally got his brother back for provoking countless jump scares.

 

Inspired by a then-new monster on Doctor Who known as The Silence, the Redditor saw his own brother get scared in real-time while watching the show. At 10 years old, how could you not draw inspiration from this scene and recreate it as the perfect piece of petty revenge? This kind of reenactment, if done successfully, is more rewarding for a 10-year-old than just about anything else (and that includes cake). Keep scrolling below for the full play-by-play.

'I blocked her account': Librarian gets revenge on a rude patron, unearthing a $480 late fee that had been previously waived

If you've ever worked in customer service, you know you have dealt with some dicey patrons. Not everyone has the guts to do what needs to be done with every customer confrontation and most folks lean on their one sassy manager who walks fast, talks loud, and shuts down every local Karen before they can get too ramped up. However, as a librarian, you can't necessarily strong-arm every bad patron with your big voice in the 'Quiet Reading' section. With insolent library-goers, you're playing chess instead of checkers.

That's exactly what happened to this librarian who was forced to handle a rude patron using nothing but her well-trained customer service voice, unwavering nerve, and detective skills. One day, a person called to complain about the library's free wifi box service, they were fuming that they had to wait so long on the waiting list to borrow one of the modems. Even though the library had free 24/7 wifi access on site, apparently the customer had no interest in going out of their way for free Internet– they wanted their modem and they wanted it now. 

After being screamed at and cussed out, the librarian decided she'd had enough. She looked through the disrespectful patron's account and noticed an enormous outstanding late fee that was big enough to shut down the patrons entire account. Read on for this epic tale of pettiness and revenge as shared by the librarian herself, u/Colt_kun. Next, check out another person who got revenge on an unstable Karen. 

'Update: I broke up with him': Woman takes internet's advice and breaks up with her boyfriend over rent-payment disagreement

Sometimes you don't know how good you have it until it's gone… and sometimes, you're stupid enough to think you're holding a winning hand when you've been dealt a 2-7 offsuit. If you're 'Josh' right now, you're probably listening to sad Charlie Brown music and wondering how it all went so wrong. 

What started as a simple dispute over housing costs erupted into a relationship-ending disagreement after this woman turned to the internet for advice and to have them weigh in on the argument. The gist is that this younger breadwinning girlfriend was looking to have her single-dad boyfriend move in with his daughter into the house she owns. He's currently paying $1800 in rent for his current rental, and after the couple discussed him moving in, she agreed but asked that he contribute $700 a month towards her mortgage. He has objected to this, expecting him and his daughter to stay in the house for free, leading to a series of events that saw the original poster returning to share that she had split from her boyfriend.
