AIBU to ask about petty things you've done?

[Fibbertigibbet]

Just that, really! I thought it would be a fun thread to ask about petty things you've done just because you can. I want to hear about your parking fares paid with 1p pieces!

I'll start: I had an ex who was (when I looked back after the relationship ending) emotionally abusive, sexually coercive, and generally awful. Years after we broke up, he self published the book he'd been working on whilst we'd been together. It was a dystopian novel which revolved around a huge corporation doing some terrible things, and when I googled the name of the book to be nosey, I found that a real corporation with that name DID EXIST in Brazil. I may or may not have sent an email to make them aware of such defamation and gone to the effort to have Google translated it into Portuguese

Yours has made me laugh so much 😂

Some of these are brilliant

I play drum and bass through the wall when my neighbour gets home because he lets his dog bark all day

These are ace.......love the rubbing the scent off the Avon book, and 'Goodbye my LOOOOOOVE'

So passive aggressive lol!

Love these, they are great 😂

I was thinking of this thread watching QI last night. There was a story about this artist who created a colour called the 'blackest black', and patented it so only he could use it.

Another painter, pissed off with this, created a range of similar colours (the pinkest pink, the greenest green), available to anyone for purchase - on the condition that they sign a contract which states that they are not the 'blackest black' painter and they promise not to give him any of the paint.

so petty.

Then, painter 1 managed to illegitimately get hold of some of the pinkest pink paint, painted his middle finger in it, stuck it up to pose for a picture then posted it on Instagram, tagging painter 2.

Thought appropriate for the thread!

Mil blatantly favours sils dc and although we put up with it for years I recently refused to rearrange plans to suit them and it caused a huge argument. It was my birthday recently and instead of the lovely well considered present she usually gets me I got a very terse card and some vouchers
I’ve used the vouchers to buy sils kids Xmas presents!

When i was about 20 I worked for a man who was a bit of a misogynist. He used to make 'the girls in the office' do the washing up and clean the kitchen.

One day he put his breakfast bowl by the sink and shouted through to us to come and clear the kitchen.

I washed up everything except his bowl.

It gave me great satisfaction until he came out looking wounded and asked why I had just left his bowl. and i said i must have missed it, apologized and washed it up. Idiot.

My dad told me off once when I was about 10 so I went up into his wardrobe, took out his prized shirt - which was kept in a box because it was so expensive - and cut a 'v' out of the collar and then put it back tidily.

He never noticed for ages but when he did I couldn't even remember why he'd told me off! My neighbour turned it into a collarless 'grandad' shirt for him.

It's still mentioned at family gatherings now and I'm almost 50

I love the defamation email, it's totally my style as an adult

When I was at university I lived with these two girls for a bit who were the filthiest and most inconsiderate cows you could think of.

They kept ignoring my requests for doing their share and they kept waking me up in the middle of the night when they would roll in drunk. I used to empty all their expensive products they left in the bathroom and cleaned the bathroom with their toothbrushes. They eventually started blaming each other for stealing makeup and skincare.

My university ex treated me like crap, cheated on me and gaslighted me off and on for nearly three years. I worshipped him because I was 19/20 and unbelievably stupid.

He finally broke up with me AFTER he'd moved in his new girlfriend (my stuff was still in the flat as up until the day she moved in, we were still together). When I went round to pick up my stuff I may have pissed on both their toothbrushes, added bleach to his wash and spat in his artisan fucking jam. Tosser.

This isn’t mine and it’s old. So my mum wanted an allotment when she was newly married (early 70’s). The head allotment man refused on grounds of newly weds wouldn’t commit to it properly. Mum was heartbroken (it was the 70’s, I assume tv wasn’t up to much). She told her aunt, who promptly went round to allotment mans dads house. And told his dad what the son had done on a date they went on before WW2. Was quite the village scandal because by this time the aunt was a respectable old spinster and allotment man was an church elder with a poker up his arse. The scandal was he had a hip flask and gone for a bit of a snog and the aunt had taken herself home early. Aunt hadn’t mentioned it to anyone ever until the great allotment scandal.

I purposely put no sugar in dh coffee (takes 3) so he has to get up and get some, works especially well in travel mugs as too late once he's out to do anything about it.

And the time he was being a twat while I was making his pack up so he ended up with cucumber sandwiches cut in quarters ( hates cucumber ) came in that night saying oh I think I got kids dinner by mistake , er no u didn't 😁

My DB and I had sort of fallen out when I was 20 and he was 18. When he was out I got his oldest most precious stuffed animal, a monkey called Pumpy, and tied a noose around it's neck with db's old school tie, and attached the other end to the ceiling with a drawing pin in db's bedroom so Pumpy was hanging at eye level just inside the bedroom door.

DB was outraged and hanged my favourite Teddy in retaliation from the ceiling fan in the living room.

I laced a shitty visiting managers tea with liquid laxatives once.

There are probably many, many things I can't recall.

Pardon the pun

Not me but a friend of a friend, put her tarantula in the bed of her sleeping boyfriend. Can't remember what he had done to deserve it but apparently he screamed something shocking as it found its way to his penis.

Dh got a travel mug free from a supplier, hideous bright green thing. He pissed me off so in the bin it went, years later he still questions if I was behind it going missing. I won't tell him yes because about 5 years later it still winds him up which gives me great satisfaction

If my DH ever leaves his dirty pants and socks on the floor, rather than put them in the wash basket for him, I pick them up and put them back in his drawers alongside all his clean underwear. Petty I know but it makes him stop leaving them on the floor for a while

Years ago my 2 flatmates rarely did any washing up so I'd have to wash up before I could eat my meals. I got so fed up I washed everything up and hid it all in my room leaving 1 plate, 1 bowl 1 mug and 1 set of cutlery each for them 😂 they soon learnt to wash up after themselves.

When DP is at his most arsehole level of horrid to me, I empty laxative powder into his protein powder that he uses for smoothies.

I aspire to be this level of petty, I don't have the creativity
