Best passive aggressive/petty moments..

[LittleMissUnreasonable]

The other day I was trying to park in one of those private run car parks where there are no designated spaces. There was only one quite awkward space left and there was another car behind me who was practically sat on my tail trying to get this awkward spot. I decided to reverse out and find another car park but this tailgating car was not letting me go go as they were so hell-bent on getting this space and were trying to go around me. I just thought screw it and drove into the spot as I had nowhere to go. You could practically see the red mist coming from the driver's ears as they had to reverse and find another car park 😤

Another consistent one is that we have a manager who will without fail walk up to a small group of colleagues with a query and direct it to the men, completely ignoring the women. So now, even if I know the answer and the male colleague doesn't, I will just get on with my work and not intervene. It's funny to see the manager flapping around trying to work out the answer when he could have just asked...you know...a woman😱

Brilliant! 😂😂😂

My mum did the same thing to me…

I have a little brother who is 6 months younger than my dd. She wasn’t there at Christmas as I was still pregnant but he was.

He was called Alfie, so I thought the Alfie bear would be perfect….

Yeah…she got her revenge when she got my dd the pink version for Christmas. I can still hear that stupid song

Someone once parked their car halfway across my drive so I wrote a long message on their windscreen in greasy lip balm and sat in my front window watching for them to come back.

When my ex pissed me off I would hang his ugly briefs he was secretly ashamed of on the part of the washing line visible from all the neighbours houses. He wore them as he thought his bollocks were too big for boxers but was so embarrassed of them. They were always back in the house before he got home at night and he had no clue all the neighbours had seen them multiple times

I had a bitch of an ex colleague that made my life hell. Left a job I loved after nine years. I also enjoyed doing this!

Oh soz
He said "we dont leave bins or chairs out" I replied "I dont have to enable you"

And only a few weeks later I didnt have to do the 45 minutes every day. Curious eh.

And I didnt add but will now
He was a tosspot, to everyone not only me. But why make the cleaners job any more difficult by shoving the bin right under and the chair in front?
Poor woman had to pull out every chair to check every bin and then put them all back or he complained mightily. Bet her bloody back ached every day after doing that office.

@FlissyPaps I am with the flatmate who cleaned. The only acceptable response is really “thank you”.

I used to work as an EA for this guy who was such a shitty arsehole. Infamous amongst London recruiters because none of his EAs ever last more than 6 months.

He’s a creature of habit, and his first coffee of the day has to be given to him in a certain cup. DH and I were TTC at the time, and wouldn’t you know it, that particular cup turned out to be the perfect size and shape for collecting a bit of wee with which to take a pregnancy test

He had also had a feng shui master come in and arrange his office, so everything was positioned in a particular place, random little elephant statues that had to face a certain direction, bottles of blessed water dotted around and so on. On my last day there I had such fun fucking up his feng shui, moving and turning things around and replacing his special (and no doubt very expensive) “blessed” water with water from the loo. I hope it messed up his juju good and proper.

This is someone else's PA moment but I was cheering her on:

I and a few other parents were helping on a cubs day out at a tourist attraction. One of the other parents made it clear she was only really interested in looking after her own DS and making sure he got special treatment. As an unexpected treat, the attraction had given the leaders a free goodie bag for each child. They were all slightly different but all a selection of gift shop tat (I suspect old stock, hence the freebie and all different, but the cubs were excited about it anyway). This parent snooped through all of them and made it her business to make sure her DC got the 'best' one. She tried suggesting that the oldest cubs (ie her DS) should get first choice but the leaders wouldn't do that. She told one of the other parents that it was only fair that her DS should get a 'better' bag because he was used to nice things so would be disappointed with some of the things, whereas [named children from less well off families] would be happy with anything.

The cubs had been in numbered small groups all day and whenever called by group the leader started at 1 (twat's DS's group). The leaders announced that the cubs would be called up by group to collect a gift bag so twat moved the 'best' bags to the front. So Lovely Leader called group 5 up first instead. Twat was clearly fuming.

Many years go I worked in IT support, sharing an office with admin/bookkeeping staff. The bookkeeper would sit playing Solitaire and refuse to answer the phone when the admin people were busy. She said it was “not my job.”. Obviously I would answer the phone and take a message, but it was pretty annoying when I was really busy with my own work.

In a fit of pettiness, I changed Solitaire to open Sage Accounts software instead, so she could no longer sit playing games. Would you believe she actually complained to the boss about this, and he asked all the IT people to look at it. Every single person claimed there was no way to fix it, very strange, never seen that before. 😂

She eventually moaned so much we were told to fix it or else, so we added a “workaround” of a new shortcut to Solitaire on her desktop. No regrets.

There is a very offensive swear word in English (it means vagina.) Look at the phrase "see you next Tuesday" and replace with "C U Next Tuesday" and use the first letter of each of the words in the phrase (I've capitalised the letters you need.) You should be able to make the four letter word.

Customer booked a therapy session which was actually far more expensive than she anticipated. I told her the price before We started and gave her the option to cancel there and then. She went ahead but was incredibly rude to me.
As a good Will gesture I messaged down to reception to reduce the fee. She had already THROWN the money at our lovely receptionist and stormed out. I didn’t call her back and refund the difference.

Excellent

This reminds me of my old work which had a few computers in the shared space where people could check social media / personal emails etc. One guy used to spend so much time there that he was regularly missing work deadlines etc, people got quite annoyed about it as he was obviously shirking.

Someone (anonymously) changed the screensavers on those computers for a message to scroll saying GO BACK TO YOUR DESK AND DO SOME WORK ALAN

If anyone at work makes or rearranges any meeting without checking with me first (I’m crucial in these particular meetings), then I’m ‘unfortunately unavailable’
Sometimes they don’t even tell me about them and just assume I’m going to be available which gives me the absolute rage as I hear on the work bongo drums about the meeting, but then I stay quiet knowing they’re their organising everything and it won’t be going ahead.

Surely you just decline the invitation when it comes through? Why keep quiet?

Surely you just decline the invitation when it comes through? Why keep quiet?

I do when the invitation arrives, it’s the times they don’t even let me know that I stay quiet !

@Aghh oh I see! Then I agree with your approach!

But you are Miss. It’s about being married, not your sex life 😁

OMG brutal. I love it!

We live rurally where a lot of the roads we use suddenly narrow to single track. The area is very popular with lives clad cyclists from the surrounding towns and cities (no local cyclist in their right minds would use the roads) so it can make journeys twice as long.
With the recent change in the high way code I have started to follow it to the word. There is a particular long and crippling hill with double white lines all the way up. With the new rule and it braving just enough room for two cars never mind a cyclist I now tailgate the buggers all the way up the hill since I cannot cross the double white line to give them a full car and a half clearance.
If they had any sense they would dismount and pull into the side but no they press on thinking that they are making a point. Meanwhile my DS and I are laughing our heads off.
I’d like to add that I have always given cyclists plenty of room but now it is a prescribed car and a half I stick to the letter of the law even when they wave me on in annoyance.
Just to add one of DS’s friends failed his driving test last week because he didn’t give a car and a half’s clearance when passing a cyclist.

I too do this.

In my old job, I had to deal with criminal solicitors who tend to be highly accomplished, but often also highly up their own arse and inclined to try to take control from the opposition. It's a great tactic against a weak opponent, but weak opponent I am not.

I have a common name with a mild Scottish tweak - not an unusual or weird one. This chap continually misspelled my name. I corrected him, nicely, once in the first email. He continued to do it and then started to use a diminutive like Becky / Beccy etc without asking. I don't do that.

All emails for the next week or two called "Richard" (not his name) things like Richie, Rich, Ricky etc. He quickly packed it in.

I'm sure we'd have looked like twats if the emails had been used in court though....

Most of the roads around us aren’t wide enough to give sufficient clearance so I will be happily tailgating cyclists through the summer month. I’m retired so time is no problem.

I imagine they're getting some small, cheap thrill from being deliberately ornery and obtuse, or maybe they're actually this inept at reading. Either way, it's tiresome

DH’s uncle and same sex partner are getting married later this summer; when visiting dh’s parent this weekend asked MIL if she had an outfit yet, thought we could have a nice chat about the upcoming wedding. She informed me she is not going, it’s not that she’s anti gay, but as a Jehovah’s Witness feels she can’t attend, it is a civil ceremony. The happy couple have been together 20+ years (same amount of time as me and Dh), and I’ve never seen any issue. I was surprised, disappointed… as the day wore on I became quite angry at how hurtful / cruel her decision not to attend was. We were staying overnight, and now for my pettiness …. When scrolling through Netflix for something to watch (me, Dh , mil and fil), I pushed for us to watch “it’s a sin” , I felt I had a small victory in making a passive aggressive point about how cruel homophobia is.
