Ever found yourself in a roommate standoff so absurd, you wondered if you’d wandered onto the set of a sitcom? Reddit user u/Quadrilaterally sure has. Imagine this: you’re the quiet, considerate housemate who likes podcasts and peace. Your roommate, Agnes, is more into 24/7 TV and turning your shared apartment into a canine commode. When you finally speak up about the doggy doo, suddenly you’re the villain… for wearing headphones.

Things escalate hilariously from there, turning the quiet hum of headphones into a full-blown petty sound war. Let’s unpack this viral tale from Reddit’s r/PettyRevenge—a masterclass in how the real “noise” in roommate relationships often isn’t about decibels at all.

When Mom Crosses the Line: The Hilariously Petty Revenge That Finally Set Boundaries Straight

There are awkward family conversations—and then there are the kind that make you wish you could teleport directly into the sun. For one Redditor, u/willisonXD, life with a well-meaning but boundary-blind mom meant a never-ending stream of uncomfortable, sex-focused questions. But when talking didn’t work, he decided to fight fire with fire... and the results were equal parts cringeworthy and cathartic.

Let’s dive into the power of a little well-placed petty revenge, and what happens when you finally flip the script on a parent who just won’t mind their own business.

When Courtesy Hits a Low Shelf: A Tall Tale of Petty Revenge at Pak N Save

There are few places where the human drama of modern life plays out quite like the supermarket. Aisle by aisle, we navigate not just for bargains, but for social survival—dodging rogue trolleys, deciphering unspoken rules, and occasionally, exacting a little sweet revenge. One recent story from Pak N Save in New Zealand, as shared on Reddit’s r/PettyRevenge, perfectly captures the ballet of awkward encounters and the delicious satisfaction of standing (or stooping) your ground.

Picture it: a quiet Tuesday morning, the wide, empty aisles of one of New Zealand’s most iconic budget supermarkets, and a Kiwi shopper just trying to grab some milk. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, quite a bit—especially when courtesy is left behind at the automatic doors.

When Petty Revenge Is Just What the Doctor Ordered: The Care Home Breakroom Showdown

Let’s be honest: we all have that one coworker. The one who takes “working smarter, not harder” so far they skip the “working” part entirely. For u/agedpunkfairy, a dedicated staff member at a small care home, that coworker is Brian—a man whose commitment to minimal effort is matched only by his ability to disappear at lunchtime. But when Brian’s slacking started cutting into someone else’s well-deserved break, our hero decided it was time for a little taste of his own medicine. Spoiler: it was more satisfying than a perfectly steeped cup of tea.

What followed was a masterclass in workplace pettiness—served with a side of poetic justice and a sprinkle of Reddit-approved schadenfreude. If you’ve ever worked a long shift and felt your blood boil as your partner in crime clocked out early, this one’s for you.

Dog Drama and Decibels: When Roommate Petty Revenge Goes to Eleven

Picture this: You’re sharing an apartment with a roommate who’s a bit of a chatterbox, two dogs who treat the living room like their own personal restroom, and a cacophony of TVs running nearly 24/7. You keep things tidy, respect boundaries, opt for headphones to drown out the endless TV noise, and mind your own business. But when you finally muster the courage to bring up the whole “dogs using the carpet as a bathroom” scenario, suddenly you’re the problem. Anti-social, even.

Welcome to the world of u/Quadrilaterally, where the line between peaceful cohabitation and all-out speaker warfare is thinner than a dog hair on the couch.

If you’ve ever wondered what a day in the life of a high school teacher is really like, imagine wrangling 200+ students, juggling 8 different classes, and trying to remember who owes you an essay—while your brain is running a dozen tabs at once. Sprinkle in some ADHD, and it’s a wonder anything gets done at all.

But for one dedicated English teacher in a non-Anglophone country, the real challenge isn’t just lesson plans or grading.

And when a student decided to air his grievances about a quiz in the least polite way possible, this teacher’s response was a masterclass in petty, yet professional, revenge.
