To ask what is the pettiest thing you’ve done?

[LadyCampanulaTottington]

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?

You sound a bit disturbed @WeeOrcadian What a strange tale.

I would look up what pegging means (not during work time) if you are wondering why people are sniggering.

@Breakfastisjustporridge I know that, lol. Didn't occur to me until after I'd posted 😂

absolutely shocked by some of these!

Many years ago I was doing a mental maths test with a class and I realised very quickly that the little sod, (now a guest of HM!) on the front row was reading the answers, upside down on my sheet so after No 3 I started to write down all the wrong answers! He was surprised to only get 3/20 right. This was the same lad who stole an answer book from my desk but denied it vehemently but as his 'homework' had answers like 'accept an estimate between 3.5 cm and 3.7 cm' he was bang to rights.

I used to work in recruitment many years ago for a large company. One of my colleagues seemed to have had a huge character change over a few months - she went from being fun, supportive and engaging, to dismissive, snide and unpleasant. She constantly sought to undermine and humiliate the rest of the team and towards the end, I really hated working with her.

I'd done a huge piece of recruitment work, involving a national advertisement for a very desirable role and had received hundreds of applications which I'd not yet reviewed or responded to. On my last day, I wrote a generic email which I copied and pasted in responses to all of these candidates, saying that they should contact this person for further information, and included her full name, work email address and work telephone number.

Would it be 'amazing' if a man did this, essentially stole money from his partner's account to fund his favourite charity?

Yeah why are they assuming it was to do with looks – sounds more likely the poster just wasn't very pleasant…

Strange how poor behaviour and rudeness are acceptable from a 9 year old, they're old enough to know better if they have been taught manners at home. Not spiteful at all, maybe the brat will learn a lesson, though I doubt it.

It's not acceptable at all. I'd have taken the child straight home, or actually probably not invited them in the first place. I wouldn't steal their fucking toy!
I hope op's child wasn't privy to this, or they may not turn out to be much pleasanter than the badly behaved friend.

The nine year old child's behaviour sounds better the alleged vile behaviour of some adults posting ,pissing in food and drinks etc Wild animals behave better .

My one is with a very nasty boss of mine. This boss all ready pulled me up for coming in 5 mins late one morning even though worked an hour extra night before. So i was already coming in bang on time and finishing bang on time taking my breaks to exact minute. They were implementing an agile clean desk policy. The rule was nothing was to be on your desk that you didn't require fro your job. I was in the planer for the factory so i used a large calendar that looked out three months ahead plus had a calculator and a large notepad on my desk. Even though i used them regularly they weren't allowed to be on my desk when wasnt at my desk or when i went home. Had to be put away. ( this was years ago before hot desking etc came in and i kept my desk very tidy) They set up teams to check every ones desk, with forms to be filled up and you could be disciplined for it. So i would spend at least 10 mins every morning and eve tidying them away very loudly also at break time and when went to the loo or on to the factory floor for meetings. I would also then hide "required "documentation for her when i was off and say sure couldn't leave it on my desk for you due to clean desk policy. I also had keys to get in so would sneak in some eves or a Saturday and move stuff around on her desk, so management would come in and pull her up on not adhering to the policy . She and rest of management ended up being fired ( thank god) took great pleasurer in waving at her from my desk full of my work stuff . Thank god we got managers who had common sense after that, i didn't stay long though after she had worn me down

@Wexone Brilliant 🤣

I like this one.

Glad you like mine - she hated me as everyone on the floor liked me and i knew everything so relied on me heavily. She would comment sometimes as it was a small office oh your making a lot of noise and would smile and say just following the clear desk policy :)
Another stupid thing she did was pull me up on my expenses, i had to visit certain contractors every month, it was quicker for me to drive from my house, plus expenses were calculated from where you left so I got paid less as apposed from leaving the factory ( didn't bother me, i got more time in bed in morning ) and meant i was back in office around lunchtime. She didn't like this ( and also too stupid to see it was costing less) so said i had to come to the office and drive from the office to them. This meant that i was getting more expenses but also meant i wasnt back in the office till after 3 so less time to do my work then which caused her grief. Finance manager who second signed my expenses hated her too so said nothing ( He was one the only nice one ). It was about 6 months later when head office was over it was brought up a huge increase in expenses ( I put them in weekly when she was busy or going out the door to sign so she never took any notice of amount ) - She didn't know what to say to say and Finance guy said Wexone was only following your instructions and i wasnt going to question you on it. Think it was one of the things they used to get rid of her . Still see her every so often in town waddling down the steet - she has put on about 5 stone in weight and heard she has had like 20 jobs in the space of 10 years

Shop keeper had been really snotty with me one day....

Few days later she phoned up to ask if my husband could do her a favour as she had been told he had a ladder.
I said no and put phone down

Only really once that I’m proud of. Generally I don’t think of good ways until way too late.

worked with a guy who was massively racist. For a spell he was having a massive continuous tantrum over some stuff that was being done for some asylum seekers in our area. He just kept ranting about taxpayers money and the usual shite, but he managed to do it in a way that it was difficult to call him out. He always managed to talk his way out of it if anyone did.

I spotted a job at a council nearby for a new integration worker. As well as helping people with official stuff there was a big focus on helping people integrate into their community so part of the job was to organise events, parties and do things like go bowling/days out.

I did the online thing asking for an application. In his name and to his address.

The day it arrived he was absolutely livid. He was so enraged he just went off on one all day trying to work out who’d sent it, and let his guard slip with his cleverness - he end up on a disciplinary for his comments. He left shortly after because he couldn’t trust anyone anymore.

Went to help a friend move while her abusive ex was at work.
He was horrible to her and made her do all the cleaning and laundry,he did no household tasks.
He was every particular about his clothes being washed ,ironed and hung up but didnt do it himself.

When helping her move out I said lets fill the bath with water and empty all his clothes into it.....looks like he will have had to sort his own laundry out lol

When I was a teenager (1970s) the boss sent us juniors out to buy a newspaper and a packet of Polos most days. He would often add something silly and usually inappropriate to the list as a joke.
The day he sent me he added a packet of three to the list.
His face when I handed him his paper and a three pack of Polos!
I knew he meant condoms and I knew he was joking but he never said it to me again.

My neighbour does'nt like me,no idea why.
On bin day while retrieving my bin I push hers over to right in front of her driveway so she will have to stop and move it instead of driving right in.

I worked in a local outlet of an extremely famous and widespread fast food chain. It was very common for people to come in and order the largest, most fattening combination of items on the menu (think extra large bacon double cheeseburger with extra large fried and extra large onion rings) and then loudly, carefully stipulate that they wanted a DIET coke, NOT a full fat one.

It was also very common for customers to be dismissive of or outright rude to me because I worked in a fastfood restaurent.

Customers who fell into the Venn diagramme overlap of the two above consisutuencies would always get given a full fat coke. And sometimes I would serruptitiously remove my plastic gloves and rub the edges of their burger baps with the dirty underside of my fingernail.

Ok so this wasn't intentional but she was a CF so deserved it. One night I dropped what was left of a lasagna I had made on the floor. Because it was hot and a new bin liner in the bin I picked it up and put it in a tub.

Later on I was bathing the kids when my sister came around. She shout's up the stairs I tell her I'm bathing the kids Usually my door is locked but it wasn't she comes in the house has a nosey around and finds the lasagna in the kitchen. Then shout's upstairs ooh this lasagna looks nice we've not had our tea yet can we have it? Hint hint

I was going to tell her but I thought nah it will serve her right for being a right cheeky cow. I was kind of skint at the time as not long left ex partner. If I hadn't dropped it we would have had it the next night for tea. She's still unaware she eat a sloppy mess off my kitchen floor. She did say they enjoyed it but I never got my tub back. I'm just glad she never came upstairs and seen me laughing.😂😂😂

I love this
it is my absolute favorite so far

Why didn't rude customers who ordered a salad with a diet coke figure into your Venn diagram?

Why would you do that?
Who cares what people order it's not up to you to judge I prefer diet coke because the full sugared is too sweet.
