I'll go first ☺️

DSis criticises everything I do, from where I have sent my children to school to how many holidays we take. She runs us down and tries to downplay our achievements to anyone she knows 🙄
She is also very controlling and likes to dictate what happens in the wider family. Anyway this past Mother's Day, she told me a month before that I 'had to' 'take' our Mum for Mother's day. Shes a sprightly 70 year old. Anyway I said i was already taking her out to a show and dinner on the friday night and that would be our little celebration. She said no I would need to 'take' her Sunday as well because she has plans for Mother's day as she's a mother too and 'deserves to be celebrated!' 😂😂
I am also a mother but you know, that doesnt matter. So Anyway we planned a last minute break away and our flight left Mother's Day Morning. Problem solved 😬😬 i have never done anything like that before but boy did it feel good. I am absolutely sick of pandering to her shit! Always putting her needs first to keep tje peace. Not anymore!!! IDGAF!!!

I changed my CEO’s keyboard keys around - literally prising them off with a screwdriver and rearranging them. She was a touch typist and couldn’t work out why she couldn’t log on. She didn’t click that the middle row of keys now spelt T W A T instead of D F G H.

How many letter Ts do you have on your keyboard?

OMG you’re right! I’ve been telling this story for 28 years! It must have been something else - I do remember me and the other temp laughing like drains when we did it.

I had a horrible landlord when I was a student.

When I moved out I poured milk into the airing cupboard.

Not me, but a friend. She and her then fiance were selling up and had viewings all the time. Unfortunately they also had an incredibly messy lodger. One day my friend checks her room before the viewing, to find it’s a total shitpit. She picks up all the half empty beer cans, plates of beans on toast, dirty knickers, used STs and chucks them all on the bed and covers with the duvet. Lodger comes in pissed as a fart much later, and falls into bed….she never left a mess again,

My neighbours would have screaming rows - literally two or three hours of full on screaming in the middle of the night. Slamming doors, stuff breaking etc. I asked them nicely to keep it down, I complained, spoke to building manager - still it continued. I put some hefty speakers against their wall and played the Linkin Park album on repeat all day for 16 hours. I went shopping and visited a friend. Never heard them again.

Itsnaptime · 18/03/2026 20:54

Neighbour loves a party a bit too often.... I was awake till like 4am most nights and I was exhausted. When I left for work I put a jedward playlist on YouTube on the telly so he had 7hrs of jedward on repeat 😂😂

I made up a petty lie to my older sister a number of years ago. I had a male friend over who I hooked up with(we had known this guy since we were all teenagers). My older sister came over and saw him at my house. He asked for a local taxi number and she offered him a lift home. Showed up over an hour later looking very smug saying sorry but she shagged him and she couldn't resist as he was quite sexy. He asked if he could see me again I said no as I knew he had screwed my sister the same night we had hooked up. My sister actually had the cheek to tell me I could no longer be friends with him as she wanted to pursue a relationship and she didn't want him anywhere near me. She was totally trying to be smug about this guy and proceeded to tell my friends how she's shagged a guy the same night that id been there first like she had won a prize or something. So I told her well I can only hope you made him wash before jumping on him she said no she didn't 🤮 so I lied and told her he gave me anal that night. She soon stopped bragging about that night 🤣

I have the joy of a particularly inconsiderate person at work. They are messy, do not fill containers or empty bins, they drop litter, and who cares if animals are mixed up or in the wrong place? If containers and things are empty on my last day in work, I do not fill them up. Sometimes, I use extra to ensure that they are empty.

I have considered emptying the contents of all overflowing bins into that person's car after my time off, in the hope that it might inspire them to actually empty the bins when I'm not in. It might mean that I don't have to fight to empty the smelly, heavy, overflowing bins anymore.

1980s, before computers, and I was working for a show off creep of a boss. He had a whiteboard type calendar in his office and before I left I rubbed off all the events he had asked me to put on the calendar, swapped the dates around and wrote them in indelible sharpie.

Back in the 90‘s I had a gap year job in a cable tv company call centre. Fuck it was depressing. I also had a short term bf who was a bit weird about sex and also had a few financial issues.

I knew he had an account with the company so looked it up and discovered he spent a truck load of money accessing the porn channels which explained everything… I subtly tried to get him to open up to me, no dice. So I dumped him and as I was leaving the job (scheduled anyway), I cancelled his account without authority…

Sorry I posted before I read ahead - classic mistake!

@MissRaspberry OMG that’s hilarious 🤣

HarryVanderspeigle · 18/03/2026 21:26

I used to have to call a loy of other company call centres for work. Whenever they were rude I would go into sickly sweet overdrive. Nothing annoys a deliberately rude person more than you not rising to the bait. If they were particularly bad, I would tell them to have a nice day. It was obvious they wanted to explode with fury, but couldn't as I was being so reasonable.

Iwascupbearertotheking · 18/03/2026 21:30

DH was being incredibly irritating andrude.

So I got his favourite and expensive zip up hoodie, took a hammer and pounded the zip so it wouldn't do up.

Revenge is best served child.

It was even funnier that she said she'd given him a BJ too. I heard her gag when I told her. Asked her how my arsehole tasted 🤣. She still thinks she can easily take a man from me just because she's the skinny one and I'm the "fat sister". Needless to say I no longer speak to her as she's a twat and causes drama

Not me but my son ...
He was manning an IT help desk at a well known private girls school. Usually staff emailed their help request but one person needing help stormed up to the office and was particularly obnoxious. Later that day, son saw him again going to the gents toilet block ahead of him. Inside the toilets, no sign of Mr Nasty (he was in trap 1. Son used the urinal, washed hands and turned off the lights on his way out.

Never mind that - moving the keys around wouldn’t make you type anything different. It’s the bit under the keys being depressed that tells the computer which letter to type, not what’s written on the key itself.

Many years ago (when I was renting) I inadvertantly took the NDN's green garden bin. Please note - for gardening waste - you dont cut the lawn every day. Instead of coming and speaking to me she rang the LL who lived opposite. Stupid LL (who is an anything for a quiet life type) rang me. I told LL I will take the bin around tomorrow. "She wants it now." "Well she can wait til tomorrow for snitching."

Next day I left it at the bottom of her drive, having sprayed SNITCH on the side with gold paint. A few weeks later every single one of her bins went missing. I parked them in the back garden of an empty house. She had to order new ones. They took about 10 days to come.

Another time (during a kitchen remodel) a different neighbour slung several black bags over my fence in an attempt to get them into the skip. The garden gates are kept locked. One of my workmen saw him, took them back and dumped them on his step. He would have had to move them in order to get into his house.

I am the neighbour you do not cross.

That’s not how keyboards work. You can take the keys off all you like, but it’s the programmed part underneath that sends the instructions to the PC. What’s written on the keys makes no difference and changing the keys makes no difference.

You can make a customised keyboard by changing the software, but you can’t physically move the keys around and produce a different typing pattern. So your story is BS.

Our boss was horrible to us so when she went on a diet we would top her Slimfast up with sugar.

Exactly

it’s fictional nonsense from start to finish
