How petty are you?

[Pettyspaghetti111]

Sometimes when DH annoys me I eat toast on his side of the bed.. I already know I'm unreasonable, I'd probably murder him if he did it to me. Is anyone else a petty fucker?

[SpiderPlant1]

I once stirred cat food into my ex BF's dinner and sat and watched him eat it.

[SanFrancisco49er]

Our 20 something next door neighbours are pretty harmless but he has the loudest voice and dull repetitive loud laugh. They've had plenty of late night zoom calls at full volume/leave patio doors wide open with tv on full blast etc. It's driven us mad during lockdown.
If there is a late night drunken call now, we put Classic FM on really loudly at about 8am the next day and put the radio facing the wall (our bedrooms are next to each other, semi detached house) close our bedroom door and go about our day
Super petty but it makes us feel better - esp when we hear them get up!

[TARSCOUT]

Ahhh, so many fun things to do :)

[YippeeKayakOtherBuckets]

^she’d never worn it. Just stole it to piss me off because of some now forgotten argument.

[YippeeKayakOtherBuckets]

My sister is very very good at this. I once bought a strapless bra for a night out with hard earned babysitting money at around 14/15. Went to get dressed and couldn’t find it. I tore the house apart looking for it and accused her relentlessly. Years later, in our twenties, so about four cup sizes later, I randomly found it in her drawer as we were sorting through stuff in the family home.

[YippeeKayakOtherBuckets]

I am terribly, horrifically petty.

Da1 got a detention once for something that wasn’t at all his fault. The letter home was so poorly written that I red penned it and sent it back.

I also used exHs toothbrush to clean under the rim of the loo after he’d been particularly hideous to me. In my slight defence I had a toddler and a newborn and he’d left us without money to go to the pub, again.

The worst I get with DH is to make a boring lunch now he’s WFH everyday, while I make myself something delicious. Like a cheese sandwich for him vs a bacon and avocado one for me. He doesn’t often annoy me that much though.

[JovialNickname]

When I was little ( well about 11-ish) my 9 year old brother went through a stage of being really OCD and pernickety about all his stuff. When we argued I would go into his room and rotate all of his toys/possessions around just a quarter of an inch. Used to drive him nuts :D

[Daftodil]

@ReturnOfTheMc, 😂😂😂 love the peg thing!

[Cadent]

That’s nasty @Noidea2114

Why not just complain about her to management if you only worked ‘with her’?

[Noidea2114]

I worked with a horrible bitch. She bossed everyone in the office. One day a basket of fruit was given to our office she insisted that we could only have what she decided.
I told her I wanted the melon not allowed. Told someone else who wanted the apples no. All she wanted us to have was the kiwi.
She was called into a meeting so we all wiped the floor with a cloth then washed her cup. We kept that cloth just to wash her cup as she never went in the kitchen she never
found out.

@CardsforKittens

I merely aspire to pettiness. I used to work with someone who was unpleasant to me and I fully intended to rotate her PC display someday (Ctrl+Shift+Down arrow) because I knew she would be completely freaked out and unable to fix it - but sadly I never got the chance.

Filing this away for future use!!

@AlwaysDancing1234

I bought a set of mugs a while ago and one of them has a cockerel on it - when “D” H is being a twat I delight in giving him tea in the cock mug!
Yes childish and petty but it’s these little things that stop me from screaming/leaving/burying him under the patio!

DP & I bonded over just how magnificently petty we can be. We're lovely to each other, but when someone else pisses one of us off, we form elaborate really, really minor acts of revenge.

One of ours was when we were given a set of fantastically ugly mugs as a 'thank you' for a project we'd worked our arses off for. We now serve tea & coffee in those mugs to people we hate.

[Tunnocks34]

On occasion I can be petty but not regularly.

I once deleted all the match of days from our sky box, and cancelled the recording of future episodes, after an argument with my husband.

[Justmuddlingalong]

I'm quite petty, occasionally downright spiteful.

[OnceUponAMidnightBeery]

I aspire to your levels of pettiness. 😁

DH repeatedly let the dogs wander freely into the bedroom, when I’d told him a million times they were old and sometimes peed on the bed because they had little bladder control and needed to be watched.

They peed on my pillow. I switched it for his. I am not sorry and he closes the door now.

[ShebaShimmyShake]

I once had to spend the night at the house of someone who was absolutely awful all evening. Yes I know hospitality blah blah but I had no choice but to be there. So I left my hair in the plughole the next morning. It was bum-length at the time and as it's very thick, I lose a lot of it when I wash it. I also used the host's toothpaste and shower gel even though I'd brought my own, and I didn't offer to strip the bed as I usually do.

That'll show 'em.

[BurnIt]

I had someone round to fit some lino and they criticised the floor. I said I levelled that and thought it was ok (it was and years later it still looks good!). He carried on saying "oh its not very good do you want me to come back when you've had it done properly" I said no "please just lay the lino."

And then put 3 sugars in his tea when he only wanted 1. It still amuses me :)

[mamasprout]

I once accidentally misplaced all of Exh socks except the odd ones. He wore odd socks to work for a week because he was too tight to buy new ones. In my defence I was pregnant and he didn't make the bed like he promised , my pettiness was at its best when pregnant.

[SerenDippitty]

Not really. Like harbouring grudges I find it too much like hard work.

[Belledan1]

This has cheered me up too OP.

I thought of another one. I got collared to do a collection for a horrible person at our office years ago. No one really liked her and in the end the firm had to actually pay towards some flowers as hardly collected anything. She was really mean on her last week to her PA, i suppose it was stealing a bit we took £1.00 out of the collection and got ourselves a bag of sweets.

[swampytiggaa]

I ‘unliked’ a fb page because the owner had a daughter who had been mean to one of mine.

[Pettyspaghetti111]

Oh I'm so glad not everyone on mn has a rod up their arse, I gave up and went offline last night, thinking everyone was a boring fucker. What a nice sight to see all the pettiness!

I thought of another one, we always have cans of coke zero in our fridge, I buy them in 24 packs and there's almost always one with a dent in it. So DH gets a dented can if he's been very annoying. He knows it aswell, I'll hand it to him and he'll give me a look like 'I know what you're doing', it's great. It gives me satisfaction AND it saves me drinking them 😁

[GotOutOfBedOnTheWrongSide]

DP Doesn't like his new tracksuit bottoms to be washed all the time as they go bitty quickly. He only wears them for an hour or two in the evenings so they don't really need washing that often. I've told him to put them back into his wardrobe if they don't need to be washed but he leaves them on the floor...so I wash them 🤷‍♀️. They're getting more and more wrecked by the day.

[Betteb]

My ex partner always used to accuse me of nagging about his drinking as he was always either drunk or hungover and no use around the house, so I stopped trying to talk to him about it and just used pettiness to get my revenge. I would periodically hide his hair brush (he was very proud of his hair), occasionally the tv remote or his wallet and once I removed the laces from one of his shoes. Then I would sit serenely, denying all knowledge while he searched the house getting more and more annoyed
I finally ended the relationship when my daughter was 9 months old, but I think the pettiness saved my sanity in the meantime. I don't have to resort to this with my current partner, but he would hate toast crumbs in the bed so will bear it in mind in case I need it in the future
