How do you exact petty revenge?

[ShotsFired]

As a counterpoint to the "irrationally angry" thread, what (very) petty revenge or microaggressions do you perform to soothe your annoyance?

For example:

• I always click the sponsored link on google results for companies I don't like, because it cost them money each time.

• I will deliberately walk slower back to my car in order to avoid giving my parking space to certain brands (and conversely speed up or signal a driver of an "approved" make that I'm leaving)

• If someone won't use their words to simply say a polite "excuse me" in a shop, I will stay even longer. And even longer longer if they try and lean round me.

When people order piles of pizzas in someone else's name surely the "victim" refuses them and the pizza company is out of pocket? Same with unwanted taxis? Or am I wrong?
Loving the bread ideas.

Ah thanks for that keep serving

To find out the name all you have to do is call into your local council office or library and ask to view the public electoral register.

It's completely free and you don't have to explain or give a reason why.

Returning to my car in a very busy carpark, car driver realised I was returning and decided to wait for me - if that had been all he did we would have been fine but it wasn't. He thought that flashing his lights, beeping and eventually shouting at me would speed me up, all it did was annoy me. I 'suddenly' needed to take medication, double check my oil and retrieve my wallet from the boot, all while he became increasingly irate. When I reversed out I reversed towards him (loads of space, no danger of hitting him) and waited for the young mum who had just turned down from the opposite direction to take the space.

His face was a picture and I smiled all the way home.

I used to have a horrible colleague who would bully the young, female teachers. Occasionally when I was in school at the weekends or evenings on my own, I switch around the things on her desk. So stuff she’d put on the left, was now on the right, and vice versa.

When drivers do that to me, Andro, I suddenly remember something else I have to go get and answer some emails before driving off.

sonjadog - I like your style

Andro brilliant!

The colleague I shared an office with used to annoy me by thinking she knew our job inside out within a few weeks of being there. She also had a thing about only using the same coloured pins for things on her board. Guess who used to get into the office early every now and then to change mix up the colours on each and every piece of paper. You could almost see the steam coming out of her ears but she could never prove who was doing it

DD had a Saturday job in a local delicatessen/cafe for a few years, and loved it. New owners took over and were nasty to her from the start, eventually telling her she was not needed any more, citing the "floor hadn't been mopped properly " She came home in tears. I went to collect her final pay packet, and quietly and coldly gave them a piece of my mind, in front of a shopful of customers. After that, everytime I walked past with a friend, I would look at the people sitting at the outside tables and say loudly " Fancy eating something THERE!" with a shudder. I got some shocked looks and I know it was petty but I did it for years!

Totally understand Clawdy. Completely get your instincts.

I my last job, I was excluded from a conference that I should have been invited to by senior management. All my (internal) clients were going, and thought it was really bad I wasn't invited. Senior management were toxic and always making me feel like shit.

Seeing as everyone who could possibly need me that day would be at the conference, and I was supposed to be working from home catching up on stuff (although I didn't have loads to catch up on) , I booked a day at a spa instead and had lovely massages and time in the thermal pool rather than be at their stupid boring conference.

@JuicyLucy72 Thanks, that's very useful to know!

I had a Saturday job as a teen. My older manager (mid twenties) made a play for me and I stupidly fell for it. As I dated him I realised that he wasn't a very nice person. Would be really nice one minute and then horrid the next. He was also a drink driver. He used me until I slept with him, promptly dumped me and then tried to transfer me to another office.
He had a habit of sending staff home to make him breakfast and he had the cheek to ask me to make him a bacon sarnie about a week after he dumped me. Being my boss and very young, I didn't feel like I could say no.
So, I went home and made him a bacon sandwich. Then I added my own special recipe. I took it back to work and watched him eat the delicious bogie and bacon sandwich!!!! The best bit was he had a big grin on his face and told me it was delicious. It was quite a while ago but I will never forget the smile he had as he ate the sandwich. I smiled lots inside.
Hell hath no fury.....

Flobalob, I did the same to ex bro in law, he was really pissing me off being his usual arsehole self. I was brewing up for everyone when he asked for a tea, made everyones normally but added a special gob of spit to his and stired. He said it was the best brew he'd ever had, MIL n DH couldn't stop laughing when I told them later. Never told him though. Haven't done it since to anyone, doubt I would again either.

Whilst working as a temp i once had the pleasure of being assigned to an office with the 3 bitchiest women ever to exist. After 2 weeks of trying to work there i phoned my agency in tears begging to move me somewhere else. She convinced me to work the Friday and they'd place me somewhere else on monday.

The 3 witches all swanned off for a long lunch in Friday afternoon but left their computers logged on. So I changed a couple of random words in their autocorrect .

Two years later I had a permanent job where we got correspondence from their company. Oh the joy when I realised that the random autocorrect errors were still live and active in their computers.

Oh the JOY of a slow burn burn!

Inspired use of pettiness, congratulations!

More word related petty revenge. A couple of work colleagues who were rather bitchy (some years ago).

I sent emails with certain keywords included, white text on white background. Oh the internal smirks I had when they complained about the ads they were getting 😇

Went on a thoroughly miserable school camp in year 8.
It rained constantly, I was ill with a nasty cold, then my period started. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, my best friend decided to dump me and tried to lose me in Sheffield town centre.
When we got back to the campsite, I rubbed the canvas over where she slept and she spent the next few days moaning she was being dripped on.

I like to push the traffic updates button just before I get out of the shared pool car. The other users wouldn't have the foggiest idea why their radio kept being interrupted (since all maintenance gets left to me 🙄)

@TingleTots does it make the traffic announcements louder than the normal radio (my car did this). Frightened the crap out of me!

Hmmm, to be clear I don't drive a BMW/Merc/Audi TUPE car but I'm amazed at the prejudice and possibly jealousy on this thread.

Like the other stories though!

If a free WiFi service or website requires an email address for marketing purposes, my dd17 always uses the email address of the girl that bullied her.
I thought this was a little pointless but I have been plagued by marketing phone calls from O2 since using a WiFi hotspot in an airport last month and now might adopt the tactic myself.

I'm not jealous of BMW or Audi drivers, most drive like wankers. That reputation hasn't come from nowhere.

When I was at Uni, one of the guys decided he liked me, I wasn't interested and he smashed a socket in rage and tild everyone else in our halls that I was a slag. He pre made his chilli one day and my friend and I decided to add some ingredients to it. Fag ash, squeezed out our tea bags, spat in it and some other random bits, all small and well mixed in.

Unfortunately he buggered off for a while and left it. It ended up starting to go moldy. So we used it to fill the favourite mug of our very lazy hall mate who would use everyone else's stuff and leave the kitchen a state, and left it in his cupboard. Then we put the minging saucepan full of moldy chilli in the owners cupboard.

Yep @shotsfired
