'We won’t pick up your trash next week': Kevin goes on a power trip about trash rules, neighbor gets revenge by canceling their scheduled pickup

Now, this is the kind of trashy we can get behind! This Redditor was slightly delayed in taking out the trash but still managed to bring it out before the pickup. Sounds like a nice save, but their Kevin next-door neighbor noticed and went on a full power trip about the fact that OP didn't take out their trash before 7 am. I'm sorry, but was this bothering anyone? It's not like it made a mess, unlike Kevin's constantly overflowing trash.

 

Rather than dump Kevin's trash on his lawn as many of the folks in the comments section suggested, OP decided to get creative with their form of petty revenge. They called the trash pickup company, pretending to be Kevin, and requested to cancel his pickup for the next several weeks while claiming that they will be on vacation during this time. So for the next few weeks, Kevin's overflowing trash was left untouched by the pickup company. It doesn't get much pettier (or trashier) than that!

'I [had to] remind him that he confiscated [it]': Boss confiscates employee's phone, wonders why they're not answering it

Remember when your parents used to confiscate your cell phone for not answering it? Leaving you with no cell phone to answer their subsequent calls with. You might not have been able to text your friends either, but not being tied to a requirement of constant communication and surveillance was freeing. 

It turns out that experience is not lost to the past, and you may be able to relive it (without clocking 88 miles an hour in a DeLorean.) All you need is a boss who is more concerned with maintaining their control than they are with logical reasoning and who is particularly attached to their ability to remain in constant communication with you.

When you inevitably have to miss a phone call, leading them to confiscate it as if you're a child, then the only thing to do is wait and see how long it takes them to notice the power they have just inadvertently relinquished. 

Read on for this delightful tale of malicious compliance. Next, see this insurance worker who was told to just do their job and so approved as many claims as possible. 

'[My] driveway is constantly blocked': Brooklyn resident infuriated by people parking in their driveway

New York parking is no joke. It's a battle at the best of times.

If driving stresses you out, don't ever drive in New York City! It's super stressful, and it's nearly impossible to ever find parking. Even in Brooklyn, where traffic tends to be lighter, parking problems still arise. 

One Brooklyn resident shared that they live near the beach (Maybe Coney Island? It's a popular tourist spot, though the OP didn't specify). Random people will constantly park in the OP's driveway. It must be infuriating to deal with! So the OP went to r/Brooklyn to get some advice on how to deal with these randos stealing their precious space. 

Commenters left suggestions, both ethical and less-than-ethical. The person who suggested putting lentils on the tires — just why? However, some suggestions were more constructive, like telling the OP to invest in a jersey barrier or become friendly with local organizations that might be able to help.

'Not much sleep was had': Husband defends wife from rude passenger over airplane etiquette

No one ever agrees about this debate. Depending on where you're sitting on the plane, your point of view changes on this too!

The evergreen debate being had on r/AmItheA**hole is from a frustrated husband who recently flew with his wife. It seems like the trouble started right from the beginning of their flight. The dude behind the OP's wife was playing a game on the in-flight TV, meaning that he was jabbing at the back of her head! If that wasn't annoying enough, the OP's wife was really sleepy, and wanted to get some rest during the flight. So when she leaned her seat back, the game-playing guy behind her didn't take kindly to it. 

The OP shared his story, and no one can agree who's right and wrong in this situation. It seems like the plane seat reclining is always an issue. If you're the one reclining, you're confident in your right to relax and be comfortable as you snooze, and the person behind you will just have to deal. But the second the person in front of you reclines, you're annoyed that you have someone's scalp three inches from your head. It's a no-win situation, truly.

'You amuse yourself in little petty ways': Underappreciated office manager sabotages photocopy machine with a paperclip

Who knew that paperclips had such power? This office manager decided they were sick of being underappreciated at work. They explained how their job basically included being receptionist, payroll, office manager, assistant, etc. all in one position. Not exactly sustainable and not exactly fair.

 

It turns out that their boss had an unruly habit of finding office issues for OP to handle, so OP developed ways to subtly get their revenge without any consequences. One way was to lower the length of their boss's office chair while they were out of the office getting lunch. The other way, however, is far more memorable. OP decided to photocopy a blank sheet of paper with a paperclip on it and hide the copies in the copier tray. That meant that whenever their boss used the photocopy machine, no matter what, there was a mysterious "ghost paperclip" on the copy. It turns out nothing was more infuriating for this ungrateful boss!

Guy leaves bike shop 1-star review for helping him for free

This is precisely the type of thing you encounter while working in a bike shop. Of all the customer service roles you could ever work, working in a bike shop will confront you with some uniquely bewilderingly entitled experiences. The idea of "you haven't done enough for me for free" will somehow recur time and time again as 1-star reviews bombard you for going out of your way to help someone who doesn't understand how much they don't understand about their bike. 

Bonus points here for being blamed for something unrelated that has gone wrong with their bike that you never even touched.

For some reason, everyone expects you to do everything for them for free; this comes from the fact that you generally need to go above and beyond for people in ways you don't in other forms of retail to help them with things that are not obvious about their biking experience.

It comes with this age-old expectation people come in with that bike shops owe you everything. People are utterly incapable of thinking or doing anything for themselves as soon as they cross the threshold of a bike shop's doors. Simultaneously, bikes are still a machine—though a simple one, so there's a lot that can go wrong very quickly—and it's common for people to wildly overestimate their knowledge of them. Their "I know what I'm doing" attitude, particularly among those of a certain age, will backfire time and time again... Every bolt stripped on their frame, fork installed backward, or even just a "broken" drive train where each limit screw was turned in completely the wrong direction.

I could ramble endlessly about this one; this is just the tip of a continental iceberg. But go through the reviews of any bike shop, and you'll see what I mean. There's a reason why every grizzled bike shop veteran can't abide this behavior any longer… They've been burned by it one too many times. 

Keep reading to see the review and reactions below. I've included my own translation of what's happening here after the review to help those who are reading the post. Next, see this Karen, who left a 1-star review when a tornado delayed her food delivery.

20 Teacher Mishaps and Pranks

If this doesn't serve as proof that teachers should be paid more, I don't know what else could. These teachers not only did their jobs, but they brought a sense of humor that clearly made going to school genuinely enjoyable for them and for their students. From clever extra credit assignments to Pi-day mustaches to Yearbook pranks and Halloween costumes (stay tuned for the Despicable Me-inspired look), these teachers deserve a round of applause for their commitment alone. Sure, we all had a few teachers who made their students' lives miserable, but rather than harp on those memories,  let's instead turn our attention to the ones who made the daily grind entertaining and, wait for it, fun. Yes, I said it. These teachers made school actually fun.

'Never spoke of that situation again': 8 People who got stuck in super awkward scenarios

These people shared the most awkward situations they've ever been in, and it's giving us second-hand embarrassment. 

Awkwardness is pretty unavoidable in life, no matter how cool you think you are. A lot of people shared stories from their childhoods and teenage years, which, let's face it, are certainly some of the most awkward years of ones' life. For some reason, dealing with meal times while with friends has caused a lot of uncomfy situations for people. It's probably because teens eat a lot, and parents don't want to feed their teens' friends. Then they also don't know how to tell the friends to get out. Hence, lots of weird and uncomfortable scenarios. 

Next, this influencer claimed that she never received a jewelry order from a small business… except she posted on social media wearing the "missing" bracelet. 

'That's my seat': Mother uses kids as an excuse to take passenger's window seat, kid apologizes for mother's outburst

We've all been on flights where families try to negotiate with other passengers so they can sit together. There's a way to handle this kind of negotiation well, but this entitled mother did not exactly pull it off. First of all, when you're trying to trade seats with someone, you have to think of a way that benefits the other passenger (perhaps it's a window or an aisle seat, perhaps it's closer to the front of the plane, etc.) You also have to be open to compromises or other alternatives. For example, if there are four family members, maybe they can split up into groups of two. In short, there are several mutually beneficial ways to go about this.

 

However, here we have an entitled mother who clearly wasn't really thinking in the best interest of her children. She was purely thinking about herself and the fact that she wanted a window seat. Thankfully, the Redditor did not give in and could even see how apologetic the mother's kid was. This clearly wasn't the first time her mother threw a tantrum like this.

‘The radio began to emit smoke’: Electricians get even with floor crew following their refusal to turn off radio

Incompetent employees seem to enjoy the bittersweet taste of causing their coworkers to roll their eyes a dozen times more than the average person on a daily basis. The wild goose hunt in making them listen to reason begins, but only a handful of workers are willing to attempt chasing the unattainable. In this case, it was less incompetence, and more so a blatant lack of respect towards people sharing the workspace. OP was working as a part of a big crew as an electrician for a multinational's pet food brand offices.

The floor workers were blasting loud music on the radio while the electricians were trying to do their job, and it was incredibly difficult for them to concentrate considering the kind of work they were doing. So they politely asked the floor crew to turn it down. This request was met with refusal. So the electricians got busy hatching a plan for petty revenge. They decided that they'd make sure that this radio never worked again, and they were true to their intent.

'I called the cops': Neighbor repeatedly blocks new parents' driveway, gets towed, blames them

Having immature neighbors who engage in petty games of warfare or who otherwise just don't care about how their actions are affecting other people is the worst… and you know things are bad when a newborn baby isn't the most immature participant in the dispute.

This neighbor refused to heed reason and repeatedly blocked their new parent neighbors in their own driveway, meaning the parents had to miss multiple appointments for their newborn, as they could not leave their home. After pleading with them not to park there multiple times, they called the police and had the car towed, which made the neighbor extremely angry.

The parents have now turned to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to appeal to readers and see whether or not they are in the wrong for escalating the situation and having the neighbor's car towed. What's your take?

Update: 'Buyer claims to never have received order, but posed on social media with item': Jewelry seller confronts lying influencer

This seller is way too smart to be fooled by this influencer's tricks. 

Running a small business seems both incredibly rewarding, and also really difficult. They're often run by just one or two people who handle everything from listing the order online, to promoting the product on social media, to packing and shipping the product, to talking with customers who need assistance. On top of all of it, some people will still go out of their way to try and fool these sellers. 

This influencer did exactly that. She couldn't help but flex the product she received in the mail, while all the while claiming she never received it. At least the seller didn't let her get away with this kind of deceptive behavior.

'She's bankrupt, I'm debt free': Boyfriend serves epic karma to cheating girlfriend by playing the long game

Breakups are never easy, especially if you're married and even more especially if one of the partners does something to sever the trust you two might of had. It's what heartbreak is. It takes a longtime for someone in a relationship to have that epiphany that it needs to end, and it never feels good when you have it, but at least you know what has to be done now. 

A guy on Reddit recently shared his breakup drama from his past and his epic revenge he got one his cheating wife. He writes in r/pettyrevenge the long game he played to get his comeuppance. He found out that she had been cheating on him and just overall treating him poorly for a while now. So they split. However, they owned a home together and were splitting mortgage payments. After they split, he continued to pay his portion and even paid a head of time so he wouldn't have to worry. However, he found out that his toxic ex just stopped paying her half and was letting his advance payments over her. He was so upset, that he called the mortgage company and worked out a plan. He was going to stop paying his half and if she couldn't afford her half, they were welcomed to foreclose. The laws are different in Australia, where the poster is from, so since he was working on some sort of eventual payment plan with the mortgage company, his credit didn't suffer. However, his ex wife's did and she had to sell her car, file for bankruptcy, and overall her life took a hit by karma. 

He eventually was able to buy back the house, move in with his new wife, and now they recently sold it for a little profit. So though it was the long game, taking years to unfold, he truly got the revenge he needed. Read the entire story below!

'She still looked upset': Bridesmaid insists on chocolate-free wedding

A bride and her bridesmaid are unsure what to do about this request from the bridesmaid, and it seems like no one can agree on the best course of action. 

U/Old-Material-6136 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole seeking advice. It's a sticky situation, to be sure: she and her fiancé both adore chocolate, and it was even part of the way they met each other. They wanted to incorporate the chocolate theme into their wedding, which sounds delicious for almost everyone involved. One of the bridesmaids made it clear that she cannot have any chocolate, and has worries about the food being at the event.

20+ Marriage Fails for Bickering Couples

You're not a real couple if you don't bicker every now and then. It's part of the charm of being in a committed relationship. Personally, I'm of the opinion that healthy bickering can be a good thing, provided that both parties can laugh at the situation. Besides, the two of you are bound to annoy each other at some point, so you might as well make light of matters. That means occasionally pulling each other's leg and, respectfully and within reason of course, pushing each other's buttons. 

 

If the following memes, tweets, and fails serve as any indication, healthy bickering is clearly a common occurrence. What's far less common are couples who pretend that absolutely everything is perfect 100% of the time. That's how divorce happens, whereas the couples who bicker healthily and joke about the highs and the lows are more likely to be the ones who last.

Job Applicant Undergoes Four Rounds of Interviews and Free Labor Only To Be Rejected

It's time to talk about all the free work people have to complete in order to just be considered for a job. Of course, we understand that assignments are sometimes necessary to see if what a candidate claims they can do can actually be done. But if the assignment is extensive and fully reflective of the workload they might take on for an actual project, pay them for it! If that's not possible, then demand less. All of this should be a two-way street.

 

This Redditor had to undergo four rounds of interviews and then a vague project, only to be rejected and told that they did not meet the expectations of the project. Apparently, they were expecting a full pitch deck with data despite not mentioning any of this information in the prompt. Unless you're hiring for the position of Mind Reader, this process is extremely unfair. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments.

'Give me my change!': Customer gets dozens of Sacagawea dollar coins as change for $100 bill after demanding ‘change’ for buying 10 cent candy

Dramatic customers are a dime a dozen, barking orders at cashiers, clerks, waiters, and the like, with a sure sense of entitlement that allows them access to the vast club of Karens. One customer approached an unsuspecting cashier, obviously in a bad mood, buying candy for ten cents, yet handing the cashier a $100 bill. The cashier explained he didn't have enough change, and offered the candy 'on the house'. The dude replied rudely, and demanded that the cashier do his job, adding that he is 'required by law' to give him change.

The cashier wasn't having it. But instead of denying the customer his request, he opted instead to give him exactly what he wanted. In other words, he maliciously complied. See, he gave him 99 Sacagawea coins, which are basically big dollar coins. They're not comfortable to handle, and they aren't quite the thing you'd like to carry around in the form of nearly $100. Scroll down to read about the customer's reaction.

'I walked out of a shady orientation': Job-seeker ditches out of orientation for new job after spotting red flags

Trying to find a new job is exhausting, essentially becoming a full-time job itself—which can make the prospect of finding a new job seem impossible when you're trying to escape your current terrible one. Writing cover letters for jobs you never hear back from, sitting multiple interviews only to be ghosted, and being intentionally misled about a job you've interviewed for all can be huge wastes of time, often wasting weeks of hard work and dashing hopes. On top of that, you now have to be incredibly wary of red flags that the job isn't a job at all, but rather part of some MLM scheme or a straight-up scam.

For one, when interviewing, you should always be wary of the "walk back" as a manipulation tactic. I don't know what this is actually called, but it's often used in sales and scams. The seller starts by offering something acceptable and slowly changes the terms of the deal to something that might have been unacceptable to start with but is now reluctantly accepted due to the sunk cost of invested time. Consecutive slight alterations to figures or terms should always raise red flags, and if something doesn't seem right, you should always trust your gut instinct, just as this job-seeker did.

'That never happened': Man gets revenge on gaslighting mom using the same toxic tactic she used when he was a little boy

Some folks are plagued by their childhood trauma for the rest of their lives, while others seek a different approach to the healing process: Revenge. One man on Reddit did what we all wish we had the strength to do and faced his childhood demons head on; in his case, that meant having a long, dragged out conversation with his narcissistic mother. 

As a grown man, OP was determined to try and keep his relationship with his mom on good terms, however, she made it increasingly difficult by continuing her classic behavior of gaslighting him at every opportunity. With an already strained past, the man did his best to maintain contact between his family (his wife and small child included) and his aging, belittling mother, until he finally snapped. Technically, all he really did was pull an uno reverse card on her using her own words against her. 

After she repeatedly tried to insert herself into his child's life. OP and his wife begged her not to buy him any more toys as they didn't have room for them, so when she did so anyways, they gave away the toys to their friends. Angry with their 'ungratefulness' the mom went off and trash talked them to the rest of the family and that's when OP lost it. Scroll for the full story on how OP got his revenge on his gaslighting mom and how he inspires us all to cut toxic family members out of our lives as soon as possible.

'Dumping [him] was the right decision': Couple breaks up, dude chops down 'their' special tree, she gets petty revenge

This is a great example of how petty revenge begets more petty revenge. In this story, a couple broke up after three years and the guy decided to chop down a special tree where they shared their first kiss. What a way to destroy any good memories the Redditor might keep.

 

Not only did she contact their property manager who made him get rid of the stump and plant a new willow tree, but also she refused to let him take a shower in her apartment afterward. This meant he had to get into his car completely covered in mud. Picturing the sight of him driving away like that, looking like a pile of dirt… I'm getting vicarious fulfillment just thinking about it.

'I scanned about $475 worth of stuff': Dad takes kids to grocery store and lets them snack on whatever they want, then leaves without paying

This dad acts like he's never been to a grocery store in his entire life. He threw a fit just because the self-checkout was too much for him to handle.

Self-checkout has become a way of life in many parts of the world, replacing cashiers with scanning machines you can operate yourself. This works well for many shoppers, because it means you don't have to wait as long in lines, and plenty of people like the privacy of not having to talk to anyone while they shop. But not everyone feels that way — this guy, for example, feels plenty entitled to having a cashier check him out. 

I've seen freak outs over self-checkout lines before, so I'm inclined to believe this guy's terrible tale. Some people feel that when they're forced to scan their own items, they're "doing work" for the store. Then, they start yelling and requesting assistance, and the cashiers can't calm them down, because they're so worked up over this small slight. Some people just can't handle change, apparently.

'I [...] demanded that my boyfriend’s boss refunds me': Boss makes woman's boyfriend cancel vacation plans, she makes his boss pay her

This woman clearly really needs this vacation. Not only did she pay for everything beforehand herself, but when her boyfriend's boss made him cancel his plans three days before their trip, she refused to let this guy get off so easily. No, by this guy, we don't mean her boyfriend. We mean the boss.

 

She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and let's just say that the ruthless judges of the AITA community were not exactly sympathetic to her cause. They felt that she took things a bit too far and that this boss, while unreasonable, didn't owe her that money whatsoever. It's the boyfriend who owes her that money. It's the boyfriend who should have stood up to his boss and said no. At the end of the day, he's the one she should be upset with, and honestly, what's stopping her from taking a solo trip if she needs this vacation so badly?

'I became the HOA president': Resident gets even with neighbors who block his parking spot by joining HOA; becomes president, fines them

Karens infiltrate slowly into virtuous neighborhoods with a heavy sense of entitlement, ignoring HOA bylaws, under the assumption that they are divinely above it all. In this case, OP had a couple of parking spots that were legally his, that were occasionally empty. Whether they were occupied or not, OP's new neighbors took advantage of the Australian law which was lacking in the car parking department, and decidedly parked their own cars in those spots. They also began inviting family, friends, and other people to park there as well. They ended up continuously blocking OP's car, or taking his spot. At first, OP communicated, but realized quickly that wasn't going to cut it.

So he began hatching his plan for revenge… deciding to take it to the next level, and play the long game. His efforts certainly paid off. In Australia, they have what we would (more or less) call an HOA, but they call it the 'strata committee'. OP joined this committee, and within 6 months was elected president. He made sure that his neighbors paid heavy fines, and generally made parking an extremely miserable sport.

Being in your 20s is a wild ride. You're a teenager for a long time, then suddenly, you're out in the real world, getting a job, getting married, having kids… or just watching as your friends and colleagues do those things. While you might be the same age as your friend group, suddenly you all have different responsibilities in life. There's also just a lot of freedom in your 20s. You can do as you please, and no one will really stop you, so you'd better make sure you're looking ahead to your future!

'She wanted them in a week': Cupcake baker takes order for a friend, suddenly raises the price of the order

A disagreement over cupcakes is tearing these two friends apart. 

Baking cupcakes and cakes for a living is one of those dream jobs that sounds super fun, and is actually a very lot of work. Unless you see behind the scenes, as a customer, you just can't understand what goes into creating professional baked goods. 

Many bakers do post behind the scenes videos on their social media pages, and it's incredible the amount of skill and technique necessary for these desserts. Some bakers use premium ingredients and expert tools. Sometimes they have to rent out kitchen spaces to do that, adding even more costs to them. Then you get to the actual decorating and packaging of the product, which again, takes lots of time and specialized skills. 

All of which is to say, this baker wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, asking about an argument with their friend. This is one of those cases where the OP told a story, then the comments added some more really interesting details. We've saved the best OP comment for last!

'She was livid': Husband trades seats with a mother and her crying baby on a long flight to 'teach his wife a lesson'

There's nothing worse than being stuck next to a crying baby on a plane. Obviously, being an adult, you're supposed to apparently just turn your ears off for however long your flight is, enduring the screeching screams of the wailing infant next to you– they're the one that's uncomfortable, okay? Of course, they can't help it, they're just a baby and without a doubt, their sleep-deprived parent is also counting down the seconds until the end of the flight just as much as you are.

One woman couldn't contain her fury as she and her husband heard the distant sounds of a newborn screamer in economy class as they boarded into their first class seats for their 8 hour flight. The husband hated that she was complaining so much and figured he would teach her a lesson about having a little more grace with children on a plane. Without thinking much, the husband decided to trade seats with the new mother, forcing his wife to sit next to the new baby for the next 8 hours. 

Perhaps in that time they reconciled their differences. Do you think the husband taught her a good lesson here? Or is he simply a vindictive man-child who's a bigger baby than the 15 week old crier in economy class? Well, either way, he wielded the pain of the new mother with the hopes of converting his angry wife into a complacent, meditative traveler. Scroll to see how things really went down at 20,000ft.

'I'm going to sue you': Male Karen claims he slipped in the store the night before, story doesn't add up, he vows to sue anyway

Some people just want to make a scene. There might be zero evidence or justification for their actions. There might not even be a plan to pursue things further down the road. Clearly, however, that didn't matter to this male Karen, also known as Kevin on the Internet. Kevin claimed that he slipped and fell on the wet floor the night before and brought it to the attention of the Redditor, who was working during that time. 

 

Although the Redditor did admit that they had just mopped the floors that night and forgot to put up "wet floor" signs, Kevin's story increasingly made less and less sense as he made his case to OP's manager and supervisor. In fact, when the manager finally got on the phone to make a formal complaint on Kevin's behalf, Kevin refused to give his contact information. If that's not a sign that all of this was fabricated or at least blown out of proportion, I don't know what is.

‘Next time, say please': Couple posts neighbors' sawhorses on Craigslist as ‘free’ after parking debacle

New neighbors can bring about a carnival of chaos, simultaneously disrespecting you and your property, feeling entitled to your parking space, etc. Put simply, it's a hit or a miss. You're either very fond of them, find them tolerable, or despise their very presence. In this case, OP took to r/pettyrevenge, explaining how they got even with their (frankly, normal) neighbors. OP got upset over a 'rude note' that their neighbors left on the windshield of their car after OP had parked on their property. The note read, 'Do not park here', and OP couldn't get over the 'inexcusable' fact that they hadn't added the word, 'Please'. 

So OP hatched a plan for revenge, which consisted of posting a local ad on Craiglist, listing the sawhorses their neighbors put on their driveway as 'free', including a pickup address.

'You should fire them!' Karen demands fellow customer is fired from a place she doesn't work

There are a lot of challenging things about working retail, but by far, the most challenging is dealing with entitled customers. It never ceases to amaze you… the types of people you encounter when working these jobs. The very idea of receiving the most base levels of "service" gets some people foaming at the mouth as they rabidly seek to wield the most assuredly strained semblance of power.

This lust is blinding, and soon they no longer recognize "friend" from "foe," turning on fellow customers and treating them as if they and the staff are one and the same. Things will occasionally escalate to the point that the entitled person, still refusing to listen to reason and refusing to accept the fact that the customer is not a staff member, will demand the customer be fired. The ensuing shock and wily actions of others involved then create some interesting situations. 

When this Karen was refused the help she demanded from a fellow customer at a game shop, she then demanded that the customer be fired. Read on to see the result and some of the reactions.
