My big sister and I dont speak any more, she was horrendous to me when we did. She was always putting me down for being petite and slim by saying men wouldn't ever be Interested in my type of body and how I didn't look good or like a woman at all.
I was always sporty and my job now is teaching a sport.
She really made me feel like shit about myself, for years I hated my body wearing baggy clothes etc.
I understand now it was sheer jealousy as she struggled with her weight and is very controlling around food/calorie counting.

I'm back living with my parents momentarily and sometimes when I know shes coming over I put on a crop top and parade my abs around the house, sometimes eating chocolate/crisps.

I would do the absolute same!

I don't really feel the need to argue with you tbh although it is mildly entertaining but as a pp said, you can't argue with stupid.

No particular issue here, if everyone who disagrees with or dislikes you has to have issues then the NHS is going to sink faster than the Titanic.

Last question then I'll let you get on as I'm sure you have a job to do and people you need to be picking on.

If it were your son or daughter being treated like that in a workplace by a group of supposedly grown women for the obviously capital crime of not wanting to join in rounds, would you still consider your behaviour acceptable?

Or would you think 'wow what a bunch of immature arseholes?' I'm sure you can guess what everyone else is thinking.

Oh FFS you’re just as bad, instigating a pile on against @giveovernate

Her pettiness was not as bad as most of the ones on here.

Now stop derailing the thread.

When I (finally) got my ex husband arrested for assault he was kept in the cells for the weekend.

The police showed up asking for some spare clothes for him.

I gave him a ridiculous joke thong from Christmas that jingled. Socks with a hole in them. A fitted shirt and some jogging bottoms. He was VERY invested in his appearance at that time, and I laughed so much knowing that he would be cursing me.

Still makes me happy now and it was well over a decade ago.

This really tickled me.

My former colleague was a rude, nasty and entitled individual who would ask people to make them tea by literally emailing us with the word "tea", or better yet, clicking their fingers and saying "tea". When I was making a round, I'd always add a shit tonne of milk to the dry teabag and extra sugar.
The biggest petty thing I ever did was when my sister died, she was 35. Her biological father destroyed the flowers that were put there, even the ones left by her 3 children, he owned the grave so h3 could do this and he said he would never give permission for anyone to leave anything there. It has been years and the plot has nothing on it, no cross or headstone, it's blank. I bought the plot next to her and paid for a headstone aswell, he went fucking batshit, but her kids have somewhere beautiful to lay flowers now.

That's not petty at all, that's a good thing to do and now her family who loved her have a place to remember her. Well done xxx

When my husband is in one of his moods, which is almost every day now, he doesn't lift the seat but splashes all over it. I wipe it clean and put the pissy tissues in his work jacket pocket! If I moan about the pissy seat he just gets moodier and shouts at me for daring to mention it. I can't wait to be single soon!

Clearthinking · 05/09/2022 18:43

Mil very critical. Causes trouble. When I announced pregnancy was asked bet your mother knew first, why couldn't you come round and announce to everyone face to face, when baby arrived although I had a pump going she still glared and said what is THAT as we were feeding formula etc. Mil very big on naming after family so parents names grandparents names passed down etc as this was the first girl for 12 years she assumed I was going to use mil name as a first or second name in honour. Fuck that I named her after the lovely lady next door Ivy. That didnt go down well!!!

ThistleTits · 05/09/2022 18:48

After my exH moved out he asked for his stuff. I said they would be "bin" bagged and left in the garden on a certain day. I left all the lids off the aftershave bottles, he didn't come to pick up and bin men took every single bag. I'm smiling writing this ☺️.

@RicherThanYew
That is truly awful. (What that father did.) What a piece of work.

MsBullseye · 05/09/2022 18:59

A few years ago I lived next door to a very obnoxious family, screaming, cars revving ,loud music etc that started at about 11pm and went throught to about 5-6 am, usually every night

I fortunately had the landlords mobile number/landline and knew that he had his phone on 24/7 as he had other properties. I was also fortunate enough to have his Mothers numbers (I can't remember how or why I had them)

After several calls to him to complain about the noise, always during the day I decided to go at it from a different angle

Every time the neighbours woke me up, I rang him to wake him up if he didnt answer I rang his mother to complain about him not answering his phone

After about 4 phone calls in a week ranging from 12-15 to about 4-20 am he gave them notice quite quickly.

Runki · 05/09/2022 19:09

This is superb! You've reminded me of a similar thing that happened to me. I had a boyfriend a very long time ago when I was nineteen. I really liked him (looking back I have no idea why) but he used to stand me up again and again until eventually I just never heard from him again. Fast forward ten years and he kept bounding up to me at a music festival, wanting to say hello etc. He was all full of himself. He said I bet you don't remember me, do you. I answered, no, I don't, and carried on walking. It was delicious!!!!

Mollymoostoo · 05/09/2022 19:13

Some guy from church used to come to our house and boss me and my friends around. So me and my brother made him a cup of tea. We used hot water from the tap, stirred it with the dogs comb and squeezed the dishcloth into it. He said it was a bit cold so we topped it up with hot water from the tap and did the same again with the comb and dishcloth.
We laughed so much when he drank the whole thing.

My petty crown that I wear with pride is when confronted (or rear fronted?) by a car driving up my arse, I slow down and if they don’t back off I continue to drive as slow as legally possible just to make a point.

Even if you haven’t acted on it, what’s the pettiest thing you’ve considered doing?

I'm with you on this, plus what they are doing is a no no...tailgating im pretty sure is illegal but I'm sure someone will be along to correct me soon.

Today in the supermarket a woman and her kids were literally on my toes. I also wanted cheese when they did, so i blocked them...sort of!! Covid still a thing ya know!!

When my nasty neighbours were on holiday during the heatwave I put their refuse bin back in their front garden so it wasn’t emptied. Stinking rubbish wasn’t emptied for another 2 weeks after that.

But if they’re away, surely you’re the folks left behind with their stinking bins…? 🤔

Boyfriend broke up with me after I had bought tickets to a concert at Wembley. I asked him forr the money, he wrote me a cheque. Then cancelled it, which cost him £3 (it was a long time ago). I asked for another which he cancelled. I asked for another which he cancelled. Then another, again cancelled. The ticket cost me £10, after he'd spent £12 cancelling cheques I stopped asking him and took my new boyfriend to the concert

We had a Manager who was a nasty bully. One day he was so horrible to my colleague that she went to the toilet and took an extra strong mint out of the packet and wiped it in her lady bits. She put it back in the packet then offered the said mint to our Manager. 😂😂. Another Manager was so horrible to me once that when I went to make his afternoon black coffee I put in about 20 teaspoons of coffee. I put it on his desk with a lively smile. He never, ever mentioned it. 😂😂

steff13 · 05/09/2022 19:32

My son's English teacher called him lazy. He wasn't, he had straight A's in all his classes, which were all advanced. It really upset him, so I was going to send her email to discuss it. However, she has written a book that was for sale on Amazon (a romance novel 🤢). So instead of doing the mature thing, I left her book a bad review.

Sparkle5 · 05/09/2022 19:33

Lovely not lively.

Bladedancer · 05/09/2022 19:34

When we bought our first house money was tight so we rented a bedroom to a friend we had been at college with. The arrangement was that he would do his own cooking using our pots, pans etc. After yet another occasion when I went to cook our meal and found the sink full of his dirty washing up, and him nowhere to be seen, I had had enough! DH went out to get fish and chips while I went into our lodger’s room, spread newspaper all over his bed and laid out all his dirty washing up on it, including a greasy frying pan We had already gone to bed when he came home but he was very shamefaced when I saw him in the kitchen next morning, putting away all the newly washed up dishes. Result!

Sn1859 · 05/09/2022 19:39

I work with someone who is so lazy that she won’t look for anything, she’ll just shout for it until someone tells her where it is. As she doesn’t wash up (we work in a kitchen) I always wash up, put things back where they go then tell her I’ve got no idea where they are. I love watching her walk around the kitchen looking for something that’s right under her nose.

BeenToldComputerSaysNo · 05/09/2022 19:41

At a job years ago, I was asked where I was that morning. My job started at 9 and I was in before five past. I politely stopped working through my lunch break and stopped working late.

@RicherThanYew that's really lovely, it made me cry.

DB died last year and his wife hasn't picked up his ashes yet, not sure why. My Dad is really upset about it. The crem only keeps them for a year so he's getting stressed about it again as the anniversary approaches.

I don't understand how she can leave him there, at least let me or Dad collect him until she decides what to do.

It's really hard. Picking up the ashes is that last thing. It's the last thing to be done then they are scattered and gone forever.

Maybe she's not strong enough just yet for that final step.

Ask your dad to give the cremation a call and explain. They will keep them for an extended time if needed, there is usually a small charge to do this but it's peace of mind.

Sorry for your loss, it must be hard.

Taxanimal · 05/09/2022 19:49

Back in student days, my then boyfriend and so called best friend had announced they’d been having an affair. He dumped me for her but they were pretending we could all still be friends. I went round to his flat & left a pair of my earrings on his bedside cabinet then let myself out. She found them later. Still makes me smile. 😎😎

When my abusive FIL evicted DH because he didn't agree with how he spent his own money. Despite being paid rent for the home he rented to DH and also over market price. He kept a key and had began to help himself to things he seemed to be his but we're in fact family stuff my DH had been given by other family members. His excuse was that they were his family too and because he's DH's father they should have been given to him. On the day he moved out I signed up for over 1000 different free holiday brochures to be delivered to the address. Meaning when he did come up to try to clear it out for rental he couldn't get the front door open for the mail behind it. I also filled the cistern and the header tank with washing powder and plastered a kitchen timer set t go off every hour into the wall where we removed a shelf Sadly by the time he discovered it, he'd already had numerous workmen coming and going and nothing could be linked back to me as some of them bore a grudge with him too.
