The Day Dog Poop Became a Weapon: A Petty Revenge Tale for the Ages
If you’ve ever found yourself the target of a bizarre prank, you know the burning desire for a little payback. But what if the prank involves something as universally detested as… dog poop? Enter one of Reddit’s finest stories from r/PettyRevenge, where a simple summer afternoon escalates into a legendary showdown of sibling rivalry, canine excrement, and poetic justice that left everyone—except the perpetrator—laughing (and maybe gagging).
Picture this: it’s 2005, the sun is blazing, and you’re swinging by your buddy’s place to crack open a few cold ones. The air smells like freedom, freshly cut grass, and… something else. You don’t know it yet, but your day is about to get a whole lot stinkier.
Let’s set the stage. Our hero, Reddit user u/pfizersbadmmkay, is no stranger to Aaron’s family. He’s been pals with Aaron for over a decade, but Aaron’s older sister, Tanya, is something of a nemesis. The two have never really clicked, and the feeling is mutual with her dogs—let’s just say, tails are not wagging when he’s around.
On this particular day, Tanya’s returning from a dog walk, swinging a tied-off baggie that’s seen better days (and meals). As u/pfizersbadmmkay pulls up and parks, Tanya struts by and—without so much as a warning—hurls the bag of dog poop right onto his windshield. A direct hit. No words, just a poop bomb, delivered with the confidence of someone who’s pulled this move before.
Let’s pause here for a moment. There are, perhaps, a few ways to handle this. You could shout. You could complain to your friend. Or you could do what our hero did: hatch a plan worthy of the Petty Revenge Hall of Fame.
The Petty Payback
Instead of confronting Tanya, our protagonist coolly picks up the offending bag. Scanning the driveway, inspiration strikes—Tanya’s own car is parked nearby, a late ‘90s Honda Prelude, sunroof cracked open to beat the summer heat. You can see where this is going, right? Like a reverse Santa Claus, he drops that stinky package right through the sunroof, onto her passenger seat.
And then? He wipes his hands (literally and figuratively) and heads inside, not mentioning a word to anyone. Tanya, still basking in the glow of her perceived triumph, offers a smug little smirk. He simply cracks open a beer, fires up the console, and enjoys an afternoon of video games and chilled-out camaraderie.
The Fallout (and Aroma)
The real kicker comes a few days later, when Tanya, who’d decided to sell her Prelude, discovers that summer heat and a sealed car make for a perfect poop soufflé. She finds her car infused with Eau de Jack Russell—right when she’s showing it to a potential buyer. Unsurprisingly, the sale falls through, and the story’s narrator gets the last laugh. Lesson learned: don’t throw poop unless you’re prepared to have it returned—hot, aromatic, and at the worst possible moment.
Why Do We Love Petty Revenge Stories?
There’s something deeply satisfying about stories like these. Maybe it’s because we’ve all felt powerless in the face of petty aggression—an annoying coworker, a rude neighbor, a sibling with a penchant for one-upmanship. Petty revenge isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about restoring a little balance, serving up justice in bite-sized, (sometimes smelly) portions.
And let’s be honest—Tanya’s prank wasn’t just mean; it was gross. Our hero’s response? Equally petty, but poetic. The universe has a way of serving up karma, but sometimes, it needs a little help from a creative mind and a conveniently cracked sunroof.
Lessons in Petty Diplomacy
What can we take away from this saga (besides the obvious “never leave your sunroof open if you’re a jerk”)? Sometimes, the best way to handle a petty slight is with a little mischief of your own. It’s not about escalating—just restoring equilibrium. For the record, Tanya never threw poop at our narrator’s car again.
So next time someone tries to mess with you in a way that’s just small enough to be infuriating, remember: there’s always a way to even the score. Just try to keep it clever—and maybe a little bit cleaner.
