Daughter Stands Up to Neighborhood Karen Who Left a Dead Rat and Rude Note on Her Mom's Doorstep

"How would you feel if someone purposely went out of their way to pick up a dead animal and left it on your doorstep?"

Retail Worker "Runs Away" From Job, Never Goes Back, People Share Their Similar Stories

If you've ever worked retail, I'm willing to wager a good chunk of change that you have considered doing this very thing at least once or twice. There are those moments where the daily tasks are so repetitive and mundane. After all, one can only merchandize and review lines of stock variation so many times before they pray for the sweet release of death. 

Many moments of this monotony tick by before the tides turn and the rush comes. One moment you're folding a shirt for the 10,000th time. The next, you're wiping flecks of spit off your face as they fly from the furious mouth of a deranged customer. Screaming, eyes bulging, that vein in their neck pulsating. One too many things might have gone wrong in their personal life this week, but you, the lowly retail worker, had the audacity not to meet their inane, impossible demand. They're an animal, caged in their miserable existence, but they're taking their wild fury out on you.

Redditor u/komputerrkrewwz claims to have lived this dream of fleeing from retail hell and has posted this topic to the r/antiwork subreddit titled "Just Ran Away from Work." They clarified in the comment section that they work retail and have a "boomer" boss who they can't stand. 

In the initial posting, 'komputerkrewwz' clarifies that "I told my boss I'm going for lunch, but I'm not coming back." suggesting that they would leave their manager eternally wondering what the heck happened to them. 

Commenters resoundingly applauded the poster's actions. This is r/antiwork, after all. Commenters suggested various plots to elaborate the ruse further. These included fake kidnappings and telling the boss that they had "Just gone to lunch."

"This is the part where you hire two actors from Craigslist or somewhere to dress up like scary g men and show up at your old workplace asking for you. Make that boss question what happened to their dying day," suggested GabrielofNottingham.

A surprisingly high number of responses shared stories of workers doing similar things when they couldn't handle the bullshit anymore. 

"I once quit my job at McDonald's by jumping out the drive-through window. True story." fallingfrog commented. 

"Before I got hired in at my current job, one of the guys also left for lunch and never came back. The guys who were there when it happened still sometimes joke that "He's still on lunch." shared ReaGeous.

There were other genius responses, and these are included, along with the full story, below.

Childish Brother-In-Law Demands To Be Treated Like Lord, Gets Dinner On Toy Dishes

In today's day and age, when relationships are seen more as being cooperative partnerships rather than an employer/employee dynamic, there are fewer and fewer times when it seems reasonable for one person to do absolutely everything for someone else. This guy didn't seem to get that his inability to do anything around the house was burning out his wife. When a new guest in the form of OP arrived to see this dynamic in action, he took it upon himself to communicate that to his brother-in-law. It's not like this guy even had to cook his own dinner. He decided to throw a tantrum over not having it brought to him. What's this guy's deal? Maybe it'd be reasonable if he was exhausted from working 16 hour days in a steel mill, but that's pretty unlikely.

The internet weighed in on the stunt, and had some mixed opinions. Some felt that it's a pretty risky thing to do when you're staying at the dude's house, but most agreed that the act was warranted. Given the support of the sister, at least the gesture was appreciated.

For some more wild in-law behavior, here's the mother-in-law who installed cameras in a woman's house.

Tumblr Thread Explains Why Measuring In Feet Can Actually Make Sense

With the exception of the US, Liberia, and Myanmar, pretty much everyone uses the metric system. It's a pretty constant sticking point, and a really convenient way to call Americans lazy and stupid, as if the world needed any more examples. But while we're grasping at straws for reasons to keep using cups and feet other than "cause it feels nice," this Tumblr user provided an alright reason for why the Imperial system/customary system made sense at all in the first place. The thinking here is that counting things in 12 is more highly divisible than 10, and if you're an illiterate medieval peasant who needs to do quick mental math, measuring things with a system that makes fractions easy is a better tool than a more precise, but also more rigid system like metric.

Maybe that's precisely why it's so difficult for us to get away from customary units? We just keep wanting to divide things into thirds and it freaks us out. This still doesn't cover the fact that none of us are medieval peasants trying to do masonry or bake pies in a world without widely available and precise scales. But it's at least a perspective that customary units may have at one point made some sense.

Dumb, Absurd and Just Wild Reasons People Got Fired From Their Job

There are a great many reasons one might find themselves no longer working for a particular organization. Some of those reasons, like threatening a customer, making a pass at the boss's wife, or simply not doing your job are pretty inarguable grounds for termination. It's important to understand when you might share some of the responsibility for your own misfortune, and acknowledging that "yeah, maybe taking my daily nap on my desk wasn't exactly terrific for optics" is part of healthy personal growth.

But people also get fired for terrifically stupid reasons, like when an incompetent manager is just trying to scare everyone else, or if the company is just trying to save money by liquidating their most trusted, committed and productive employees. So in a world where people can be fired for incompetence that is not their own, it gives employment as a whole a terrific level of uncertainty that can make you want to shake your head and go get another cup of coffee.

On the other end of the spectrum, here are some satisfying times people quit an unreasonable boss.

Husband's Sister and Niece Evicted After They Hide Cancer Patient Wife's Wig in Cruel "Prank"

A humiliated wife locked herself crying in the bathroom following a cruel "prank" that was played on her by her niece and sister-in-law. When her husband arrived home, he was swift in his retribution and sent his sister and her daughter packing.

This story was posted to Reddit's r/AmItheAsshole subreddit by the husband, Redditor, u/throwaway350965, after reacting to his sister's actions; seeking the opinions of the subreddit's readers to determine if he was in the wrong for his actions.

An account name such as this is an indicator of a "Throwaway" account, which will sometimes be less obvious and use a string of numbers or words. In each case, a 'Throwaway" is a, usually brand new, account used to make or interact with a particular topic. The idea is to preserve the anonymity of your "Main Account" and keep people who were privy to the event in real life from recognizing the event and linking your identity to your main account. After all, sometimes, your online identity can compromise your day job. Specific stories about people being compromised and connected to their "Solitary Enthusiast" accounts come to mind.  

It's hard to fault the husband's actions here. His sister's "prank" crossed too many lines to count. She violated her brother and his wife's trust and made a mockery of their hospitality. She showed her true nature with these actions and the couple will be better off without her, and anyone who enables her, in their lives.

Safety Failures That Are Big Oopsies Waiting To Happen

Every once in a while, we have a close call. Maybe you're using a reciprocating saw without eye protection. The tip hits a nail and breaks off, flying into a tree about a foot from your head. This is what's called "a growth opportunity." It makes you realize, if you're not dumb, that putting yourself in harm's way for no other reason than convenience isn't exactly a good idea. And then you remember that your safety goggles are in a box underneath a bunch of boxes of tools and crap, so maybe this time you'll let things slide, but definitely next time you'll remember to wear those glasses before using power tools. It's a thought.

Here are some times people tempted fate through ill-advised and unsafe maneuvers. On one hand it's impressive to see how many ladders people are willing to lash together to get to the top of a steeple. On the other hand, we'd all rather just see it and not do it ourselves. Good luck to these cowboys of gravity and tempters of fate.

Here are some more misguided safety failures that OSHA would disapprove of.

Teenage Girl Gets Fired by Heartless Sonic Manager After She Called Out to Grieve Four of Her Friends She Lost the Night Before

He coldly said, "I run a business." Really, Sonic? Do better. 

Client Refuses to Pay Ad Designer, Changes All Ads to Say Client is a Scammer

When this client refused to pay an ad designer for their work, the designer decided to cut their losses and settle for a bit of revenge instead. They had been granted access to the client's Facebook page to set up the advertisements, and those privileges had not yet been removed. 

After being stiffed by said client, this topic was posted to r/pettyrevenge by u/BigPower6749. The post is currently sitting at 10k upvotes. They explained how they exacted their revenge in the post, "Her ads are still running, so I decided to change it. I changed the pictures to a text post [that] says 'Don't buy from this. The owner refused to give me my salary.'"

We see online topics about artists and creative workers not being paid for their work or being targeted by "choosing beggars." These stories always end up with the artist not being paid and losing out and seldom do they get any repentance from their terrible clients. So it's always great to see an artist getting the upper hand.

Guy Accused of Wage Theft When He Clocks in For Meetings

This employee was accused of committing wage theft when they clocked in for "hour-long" meetings. As commenters have noted, there is wage theft happening here, but the boss is confused about who is the one doing the thieving. 

This thread was trending after it was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit this week and has earned 10k upvotes. The poster, Reddit user u/DannoWhamo, was the one who posted the topic regarding this experience that they had at work. They noted that they were "Tired of spending my days off glued to my phone and laptop," and so decided to start logging the hours. 

It might sound insane to some of us that this wasn't something that was automatically happening. Any good manager knows that prepping, planning, and communication are essential parts of running an organization and are, therefore, part of the job by default. If you want to get buy-in from your team, you should pay employees for any time they spend performing their role. That's just good business sense, and before you even consider the ethics and legalities involved.

 

Funny, Absurd and Miserable Signs That Came From Earth

Sometimes we're blown away by what some people think needs to be committed to writing. You'll just be walking into work one day, and on the fridge, someone has taken the liberty to post in 128 point font "We know it was you, Lisa." Your first assumption will likely be something like "well, I'm not Lisa, so I don't have to worry about that part." But the rest of it becomes a mystery that's simply too delicious to put down. What kind of shenanigans did Lisa get up to? And is the original poster correct in their assertion that is was in fact Lisa who did "it."

These kinds of things happen every single day, and luckily, as people living on this planet, we get to walk right into the middle of someone's sign war and ask ourselves who's being more unreasonable. No one's really being hurt, as long as they're not as threatening as creepy signs that make their message clear.

Here are some more funny signs from all over this world.

Customer Gets Screwed Over By Dealership, Gets Justice When Management Finds Out

Car trouble is a hassle even when everyone involved actually wants to resolve the issue. But when a dealership does everything it can to make the process as difficult as possible, things can quickly spiral into nightmare territory. That's where this person found themselves after being told that they didn't have the guts or the funds to sue the dealership over their assery.

That's the weird thing about disputes in the neighborhood of a few hundred bucks. It's a game of chicken between who wants to get the law involved. It's a non-trivial amount of money that would be painful to lose, but it's also not enough to ruin your life over. Luckily the internet is full of information about how to take things to small claims court.

They had a pretty good case put together, but it was the Deus Ex Machina of power suit lady who set things straight.

For a cartoonish tale of transactional glory, here's the employee who pulled a reversal on a customer's coin revenge by counting it all out.

Woman Can't Handle Fiancé's Giant Python and Unleashes It Upon the World, Gets Sent Packing

Trouble has emerged between this Reddit user and his fiancée following a disagreement the couple had over his penchant for creepy crawlies. 

User u/Warm-Art-378 posted this story to the r/AmItheAsshole subreddit asking for advice from users regarding the disagreement. He was wondering if he was in the wrong for his reaction to the incident. Essentially, what had happened was his fiancée had taken issue with a ball python that u/Warm-Art-378 had acquired shortly before she was due to move in with him. He had to slowly acclimate her to the snake but noted that by the time she had warmed up to it she had thought it was "really cool."

Apparently, this wasn't actually so, because when u/Warm-Art-378 arrived back from an out-of-town work trip he arrived home to find the snake missing. Inquiry revealed that his fiancée had betrayed his trust and let it loose outside. 

The betrayal of trust is a major issue here, but even larger still is the effect on the ecosystem that the release of pets into a foreign environment can have. This is, after all, how the Burmese Python ended up establishing itself in Florida. There have been other notable introductions of invasive species to ecosystems in this exact manner.

It is also incredibly cruel to the animal itself and that alone is cause to send her packing. Do you really want to have someone in your life who is capable of hurting a living creature?

In Defeat at the Deceit, Daughter Watches Dead-Beat Friend Eat Mom's Elite Sweet Birthday Treat

The damning evidence in this deceit is quite concrete. It is incontrovertible. There is no neat for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging, I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law. 

With food available in such an abundance these days, it's hard to rationalize how this could happen. I could order McDonald's on Uber Eats right now, and it would be here in 5 minutes if I couldn't be assed to consider or prepare any other options. And with Uber Eats available in 6,000 cities and 45 countries, I find it pretty hard to believe this wasn't an option in most major populaces in the western world. This isn't an ad for Uber Eats, so please, god, don't flame me for that in the comments. I'm just in dire need of something to eat. Good thing I have all these baked goods my friend made for her mother's birthday here and ready to go.

Asides aside, this thread was posted to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit this week by Redditor u/BigPower6749, where it has received 10k upvotes. Commenters are horrified at the friend's audacity and utter incompetence; how could they have thought eating all of those treats was ok?

Oh, and be sure to like, subscribe and check out Uber Eats^TM.

TV Repairman Pulls a Sneaky On Indecisive Customer, "Fixes" Their TV

Problem-solving is a process. But the first, often most difficult part of problem-solving is actually identifying the problem itself. Sometimes the issue is just in a person's imagination, and you're beholden to their questionable opinion in order to "solve" that "problem."

Such is the case with this story of a TV repairman who had a client with a dubious issue. According to her, things just didn't look right. Other than that, there were no real problems to speak of. So what do you do when a problem has been completely invented? Well, this guy went and invented his own solution. This guy was able to make a customer happy with the magical powers of "just making something up." It's a simple solution, but it takes guts to pull off correctly.

For another trial and tribulation of the proud repairman, here's an entitled goofball who called the cops on an emergency pipe repairman and found himself arrested.

Entitled Mom Demands Martial Artist Remove Knee Brace, Says It's A Competitive Edge

Isn't it lovely when someone has the audacity to complain about rules and fairness when they don't know any of the rules in the first place? It seems like this mom is under the impression that martial arts tournaments are about fights to the death, and making it so your opponent can never walk again. Which is what led to her freak-out when noticing OP putting on a very medically necessary knee brace. 

Despite the fact that it's fine to have a knee brace, officials knew about it, and kicks to the knee are illegal anyway, this mom wasn't having it. Apparently she was under the assumption that it was protection against a competitor stomping the everloving meniscus out of her knee, which is again, illegal, and not that it's being used so this competitor can actually stand. Thanks lady, for making everything more complicated for no reason.

For an intriguing tale of leg-based drama, here's the guy who tried bullying a woman out of a disabled parking spot, so she showed him the stump.

Obvious Signs That Someone Is Romantically Interested

Searching for romantic interest is thrilling, nerve racking, and often confusing. We all want to know if we're being received well, and that our intentions are being reciprocated, because who the hell wants to be involved with someone who doesn't like you back? The annoying thing is that "just asking someone if they like you" can be a socially risky thing to do, and most of us feel like that puts us in a vulnerable position. So naturally, you try to look for signs that someone's lingering eye contact is an indicator of interest, and not just that they're gawking at your dog-ugly, punched ass of a face.

So here's a bunch of people's best guesses at judging another person's interest. Will they be accurate 100% of the time? Absolutely not. There is no sure-fire way to gauge anyone else's interest perfectly. And even if someone gives you a lot of attention one day doesn't mean that they're gonna be just as interested the next. Maybe they had a nice dream about you are they like your shirt.

But at least when you know, you know. So there's some consolation in that. Here are some times people missed blindingly obvious times someone was interested in them.

Twitter Thread: Woman Discovers Polite Little Line Of Caterpillars

Nature is a strange thing. Once you think you've seen everything, you come across a big long line of caterpillars that are queued up like they're waiting for the next iPhone. There's something about organized bugs that make them seem a little more human. Or maybe this is distinctly inhuman, you know, since this whole endeavor is a little too well organized and none of them are cutting in line.

Processionary caterpillars are the larval stage of a kind of moth. They also have little hairs that can be harmful especially when swallowed, so  when it comes to pets they can cause more harm than good. And depending on where you live, this might seem like a bit of an everyday thing. So, you know, you might very well hate these things. But hey man, they line up real nice.

For some more nature stuff, here's the group of friends who discovered the Shark tracker and found various shark journeys.

10 TV Shows That Aren’t Nearly As Smart As Fans Think They Are

Sweet Seductive Nostalgia To Help Us Run Away From The Present

When we look at our own childhoods with a critical eye, they weren't really that great. We weren't all that happy, we spent a lot of time being at school or doing homework, and we couldn't drive around or buy beer. A lot of what makes childhood exceptional is the retrospective part; looking back and thinking about when we didn't watch the news or pay taxes. The whole world and all its injustice and agony was still happening around us, but since we were kids, none of it concerned us. We just played N64, rode bikes, and drank Mountain Dew. Also our knees and backs didn't hurt.

Such is the draw of nostalgia. Seeing an old blockbuster VHS or bottle of Fruitopia gives us a little reminder of those tax-free, back-painless days. You don't really know what you have until it's gone.

At least now we can stay out as late as we want. So there's that.

Here are some more powerful images of sensory nostalgia.

Hosts Roasted In Viral Tweet When They Demand Payment For Meals at Their Dinner Party

It's tough to see how this can be anything other than the most excellent tactic for ensuring that you never have to host a dinner party ever again. Or have to see your friends again, for that matter. And while that might sound like an introvert's dream, I'd probably still suggest another option. 

You see, people are not going to want to see you or spend time with you… They're going to hate you and talk to each other about how petty and cheap you are. You might even get blasted on social media for the world to witness.

That's what happened to the hosts of this dinner party after they asked Amber Nelson to pay for her meal when they invited her over for dinner. She posted the incident to Twitter asking the following question:

Got invited to someone's place for dinner, and they charged me for it….this is weird, right?

Responses to the tweet were overwhelmingly bewildered and outraged. With some commenters offering some different cultural practices relating to the incident.  

 

Terrifically Obvious Realizations People Had Way Too Late In Life

Reality is a tenuous thing. If you quietly have an extremely dumb misconception about something, it's unlikely that someone is going to point it out to you until that thing is brought up in conversation. Right now, all of us probably have some real stupid junk floating around in the back of our heads. Stuff like "onions probably go on trees" or "I hope too many people don't visit Hawaii at the same time, I'd hate to see the Island sink."

And people will let you continue to have these thoughts, too. Out of politeness or sheer fascination at your stupid wrongness, you can continue pronouncing quinoa the wrong way or insist that ketchup is a kind of animal milk for a scary long time before anyone tries to call you on it. Sure, that's how you get 40 year olds walking around who think it's a good idea to put metal in the microwave, but at least no one had to have a difficult conversation. Only a difficult time trying to find a new, non-burned-down place to live.

Here are some moreobvious things people learned way too late in life.

Entitled Boyfriend And Daughter Ruin Vacation, Get Left 800 Miles From Home

Dave thought he'd use his girlfriend's vacation with her kids as a bonding experience for him and his own teenage daughter. Under most circumstances, this would probably be seen as a positive addition. But it seems like Dave and his kid aren't exactly the type of people who are fun to be in a car with all day. After dealing with days of protesting, complaining, and having general crap attitudes by Dave and his daughter, OP felt like if they didn't want to be on this trip, they didn't have to be. So she made the executive decision to let them take a rental car back, in spectacular fashion.

We've all had moments where we've been frustrated enough with someone to say "aight, get out of my goddamn car" but very few of us have the moxie to actually do it, especially so far from home. But it seems like this was the right choice. Telling Dave and his offspring to shove off was the thing that saved the trip.

For some absolutely wild family drama, here's the entitled mom who stole her children's birthdays for years.

Insane Family Forces Bride to Give Wedding Venue to Pregnant Sister “Because She Needs it More”, Father-In-Law tells them to “F- Off”

This bride was approached by her family, who demanded that she give up her wedding plans to her sister, who "Needs it more" after she fell unexpectedly pregnant. When she declined to answer the demand, her parents began to usurp her bookings and contact her reservations behind her back. 

This story was shared by Redditor, u/paperweightfairy, to the r/entitledparents subreddit, where it has become one of the highest voted posts of all time for the sub. As you might expect from the name, r/entitledparents is a sub where people can share stories they have experienced with entitled people who think that they are a gift to the earth just because they crapped out a child. These stories often center on people's parents and the entitled and selfish things that their parents have put them through.

Such was the case for u/paperweightfairy, who will hereafter be referred to as the OP (Original Poster.) 

OP had planned her wedding for years, she explains, as she had been finishing her Ph.D. She and her fiancé had been sure to book in her "dream venue" for after her graduation, which is when the two planned to finally be married after a three-year engagement. 

This delayed engagement indicates a significant trend among younger generations getting married at lower rates than ever before. 

A two-year-old study conducted in 2020 indicated that only 3 in 10 millennials have a family of their own. Down from 4 in 10 amongst Gen-Xers and 59% of Boomers when they were at comparable ages._[1]

All indications are that modern work and education requirements and decreased affordability thanks to higher costs of living have contributed to these declines. 

OPs family, frantic and the news of her sister's pregnancy, ambushed her at a family barbecue and insisted that she give her approaching wedding reservations to her younger sister. 

When OP declined to give her reservations to her sister, her sister rushed off in tears. Her mother then retorted, "You waited three years. Would it have killed you to wait a few more months?" 

This would be the beginning of a major ordeal for OP and her fiancé. Her family would begin using underhanded and shady tactics to try to tear their reservation away from them. It just begs the question; Wouldn't it have been a better use of time and energy to just put that energy towards planning an additional wedding? 

Luckily for OP, and seldom the case in these stories, her future in-laws were a voice of reason. Her father-in-law stepped in to help his son and daughter-in-law out and told her parents to "F*** right off." Read on for the full story below.

Screaming Karen Threatens Handicap Man Trying to Park in Official Spot, Viral TikTok Shows Cops Shutting Her Down

The cops that SHE called had her walking away in defeat after she refused to let this handicap man with an official placard park in his spot because, "he doesn't look handicapped."

Star Trek Memes That Are Set To Stunning

There's just something about watching a crew of tight-shirted dorks in an endless morality play that really gives us a squeeze of the good brain juice. Maybe it's because it makes us feel smart despite having a dubious basis in actual science. Maybe it's that feeling of endless possibility that a universe offers. Maybe it's all of the aliens that look like humans with some extra forehead, all locked in struggles of political turmoil that so mirror our own world. 

Honestly, we think it's Captain Kirk's campy "two fisted smash" that he uses to impossibly incapacitate his enemies. Or the fact that after so long, you'd think the engineers of the future would find a way to stop sparks from shooting everywhere every time they get hit with something. It's kind of beautiful that Star Trek has the capacity to be both terrific and also kind of dumb at the same time. But isn't that the case with everything that we love?

Here are some more Star Trek memes to show to the next generation.

Entitled 'Choosing Beggar' Roasted Online, Wants Free Tattoo Since Tattoo Artist’s Job is “Just a Hobby”, Artist Claps Back

This tattoo artist was frustratingly faced with the request for a free tattoo by this entitled choosing beggar who had deemed his trade to be "Just a hobby." 

The exchange was posted by u/rockpaperpowerfist, the tattoo artist in question, and the purple messages in the attached text message exchange. They posted the messages to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuring subreddit. A subsection of the site where people predictably post infuriating things, but only mildly. 

I'd say that this surpasses "mildly" straight on into "extremely." It gets tiring seeing all of these artists being asked to work for free or for "exposure" by entitled a-holes who need but are unwilling to pay for their services. If it were so easy to do it and do it well, you'd do it yourself. Wouldn't you? This person first praised u/rockpaperpowerfist's work before asking for a free design. 

The artist replied that they "Don't work for free." To which the entitled beggar answered that "If you enjoy it, then it's not really work," and that "tattooing is just a hobby." 

The original poster and commenters had a lot of fun with these statements commenting that you could apply this logic to anything. u/rockpaperpowerfist suggested that everyone tell their landlords that "You owning my house is just a hobby." And decline to pay their rent. People wouldn't get away with being this entitled in other expense areas. So why is everyone so determined to cheat artists of payment for their work?

Manager Pushes Their Mistake Onto Dishwasher, Staff Quits, Restaurant Has To Close

As a manager who takes credit for other people's successes, you also have to take credit for your own mistakes. Too many managers don't seem to understand that it's a two way street, and think that it's their employee's job to make up for their bad management.

This is one of those times when a manager did a bad job and expected that their mistake could just be passed on to the lowest guy on the company ladder. Thing is, when the employee on the lowest rung is also absolutely essential to the whole place running, it doesn't behoove you as a boss to make their life a mess.

This dishwasher was explicit with their availability, and when the hammer came down in the form of 40 bussing carts of dirty dishes, all this manager could do was watch the cascade of problems that they'd just expertly arranged for themselves.

For some more work drama, here's the two part story of a new owner who didn't know how to run their company.

People Share Times Their Revenge Was Too Effective

They say that the best revenge is a life well-lived. That's true, but it's also pretty great to see someone get sweet, sweet karma for their garbage behavior. But the problem with having a plan to get back at someone is that sometimes the consequences can outweigh the slight in the first place. That and, being people with consciences, it can actually make us feel bad to screw someone over. Even if it feels like someone totally deserves to be put in their place, watching another person break down and cry might not actually feel as good as you may have thought it would.

Here are some times when people decided to get back at someone, and found that not only was their revenge effective, but it might have been so effective that they had second thoughts about engaging in their spiteful behavior in the first place. 

But also, don't steal your roommate's food if you're lactose intolerant. That one's on you, buddy.

For a tale of revenge that went awry, here's the time an employee reversed a customer's coin revenge by counting it all out.
