When Pink Ink Strikes Back: The Sweet Petty Revenge on a Pen-Stealing Boss

Let’s face it: every office has a pen thief. But what happens when the serial pen-stealer is the boss himself—a narcissistic, macho cheapskate with a flair for hypocrisy? Enter one of the best petty revenge stories to grace Reddit’s r/PettyRevenge, where a clever employee used nothing but pink ink and a little creativity to give their boss a taste of poetic justice.

If you’ve ever had your favorite pen mysteriously vanish, only to spot it later in the hands of someone who claims, “I have no idea where this came from,” you’ll savor every detail of this tale. But when the culprit is your overbearing, supply-hoarding supervisor—who also happens to be a world-class bigot—the satisfaction is tenfold.

When Safety Rules Go Too Far: How One Oilfield Crew Beat the Heat… and the System

There are moments in life when you realize that even the people you’ve known forever—your nearest and dearest—can still surprise you in the most unexpected (and hilarious) ways. For the author of a recent r/StoriesAboutKevin post, that moment involved a FaceTime call, a souvenir t-shirt, and a sister whose sense of geography was, shall we say, uniquely her own.

Imagine this: You’re standing at the front desk, caffeinated and ready for whatever the day brings. Suddenly, a guest approaches, eyes wide, face serious, and utters the words every hotel worker dreads: “Something is wrong.” You brace yourself. Is it a busted AC? A rogue raccoon in the lobby?

The Road Trip Revelation: When Your Date Thinks “RV Stop” Means Free RVs for All

There’s nothing quite like a road trip to truly get to know someone. The open road, miles of conversation, and, sometimes, the jaw-dropping realization that your travel companion may not have packed all their brain cells for the journey. Such was the case for Reddit user u/pkgoesdigital, who recently shared an unforgettable tale of highway hilarity and Kevin-level logic gone astray.

Picture this: New romance, a car humming down the interstate, and a moment that makes you question everything you thought you knew about your passenger. Welcome to the wild world of dating a Kevin—where every road sign is a potential plot twist.

Every hotel front desk worker has their war stories—those surreal moments that make you wonder if reality has taken a vacation of its own. But few tales reach the heights (or depths) of culinary confusion quite like the saga of the guest who tried to bake cookies… in a dishwasher.

It’s a late-night shift. The lobby is quiet, the coffee is hot, and the audit’s done. Just two hours to go before freedom. What could possibly go wrong? Well, as one Redditor from r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk found out, sometimes the biggest surprises come wrapped in innocent questions about kitchen utensils.

When “Schmooking dot Shit” Promises Free Breakfast—But the Pancakes Are a Lie

Picture this: It’s Saturday morning at a swanky hotel, the kind with marble floors and a restaurant so high-end you need to Google half the menu. You’re the front desk agent, coffee in hand, and in marches a guest, eyes wide with expectation, stomach growling louder than a Harley. “But Schmooking said breakfast is included!” they declare, brandishing their phone triumphantly like a golden ticket to Wonka’s factory.

You steel yourself for battle. Because you know what’s coming—and it’s not eggs Benedict.

Fowl Play at the Supermarket: When Chicken Deals Hatch Petty Revenge

In this economy, that’s not just a win, it’s a windfall! Visions of meal-prepped lunches and cozy casseroles fill your head, and you can almost taste that savings. But just as you’re about to grab some extra packs for the freezer, fate (and a French bulldog) intervene.

That’s exactly what happened to one clever Redditor, u/cedarsynecdoche, who shared their tale of supermarket shenanigans and sweet, sweet petty revenge on r/PettyRevenge. What unfolds is a story that’s equal parts relatable and deliciously satisfying.

From Wedding Bells to Tinder Takedown: How One Woman Served Up Petty Revenge with a Swipe
