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?

Genius!😁

@CornedBeef451 Somehow I feel that your situation is worse, how awful, I hope she comes to her senses and brings him home soon 💕

I lived with mu inlaws dhs brother, wife and child alongside our two children. We bought our own home but were still living there whilst works were getting done. We had to move our move in date back because sil had a miscarriage. I had no issue in doing so as extra support was required and that is what family do. Once well she asked if I was leaving my curtains and when could they measure up for new carpets. I had to put all our plans on hold which she didn't acknowledge and she had been a bitch to me for several years. I told her she could measure up for curtains when we left as up until then it was still my room and I took my curtains with me. Bil also asked if I was leaving all my baking supplies and stuff that had been given to me by my dad as part of my dowry. The answer was no unless you fancy replacing them for me? Mil said to dh that we should have left the curtains, they cost me £400 and my dad paid for them as a gift. When I responded that she should have asked me rather than dh and that I had no desire to do sil any favours she went quiet.

I was petty but I own it and fully acknowledge I need to get better at rising above stuff.

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.

A few years ago when in the throes of peri-menopausal rage. Cyclist came up behind me on the pavement. No bell. Shouted at me to move. I refused. He started shouting at me, and I told him that cycles should be on the road. He disagreed so I sat on the pavement blocking him until he swore at me and cycled off, on the road. Twat. Him, I mean.

Left a bad review on a restaurant that wouldn’t let my take my daughter that was desperate for a wee use the toilet.

Were you a customer at the time? It's a bit much if you were and they refused to let your daughter use the toilet.

Another one from my late, great mum.
Just before big, blockbuster art exhibitions became so mainstream and popular she got us tickets to a show at a big London gallery. It might possibly have been the Hayward, not sure.
It was certainly for something slightly 'niche' at that time, like Surrealism, or Pop Art.
We were a bit over-awed and shy about the whole thing, not helped by the very arty, posh young woman at the entrance who semi-ignored us until my mum just helped herself to the gallery guide, waved her tickets and in we went.
We came out at the end with our tickets intact, the little counterfoil bits not torn off as we went in.
My mum strolled through the foyer until she found a couple of similarly shy, diffident looking people hovering about whispering about how much it all cost to go in and gave them our 'unused' tickets.
Up yours, snotty arty ladies 😁

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.

I love when people do this. Free windscreen wash!

Sometimes I start a small fight with my husband because when he’s really mad at me he deep cleans the house.

My exH contacted me about 6 months after he ended the marriage (he was living with someone else 3 weeks later…). He wanted his (fishing, tennis & golf) trophies that were in the loft. Sadly I “tripped” coming down the stairs and I’m not quite sure what the trophies looked like when he opened the box… but it certainly rattled a little more than it should’ve 🙈

My ex-H and I had separated to give him “space” to sort out what he wanted and I went back a bit later to our home to pick some of my stuff up. He’d arranged to be out, but when I got there I found he’d moved his new floozy in and all her stuff was in our bedroom, mine was bagged up into black bags. I wasn’t best pleased (obviously) so I got a jar of chilli powder from the kitchen and tipped into her knicker drawer. And then cayenne pepper into his. He never mentioned it, and I’ll go to my grave before I’d admit it to him, but I hope it bloody stung as much as his betrayal did to me.

My husband worked in X company where he was junior to Bob.

Bob’s wife, Kate, joined my company and HR coincidentally placed her as my trainee (about 6 yrs junior to me).

When Kate found out that my husband worked for hers, she thought this was hilarious and got very patronising/lazy.

So I gave her a huge pile of photocopying to do overnight, and went to the pub. 👀

I used to have a 'friend' that treated me appallingly.
Friends of hers never lasted long as she was aggressive, a compulsive liar, would steal things and was a complete narcissist.
She'd been particularly horrific to me one evening and called the next day to ask if we could go for a walk and talk.
I told her to meet me somewhere that had massive hills as she was horrendously unfit.
I kept walking quickly up these hills with her puffing along side me, barely keeping up, trying to justify her behaviour 😁

Amazing

I think my favourite petty thing was done against me, but i respected the pettyness of it haha.

I had recently ended things with my ex, and he hadnt taken it well. We shared my netflix account and i didnt change the password straight away, as if he wanted to watch it i didn't really mind, wanted to try and stay on good terms.

Went to watch it one night and everything was in French 🤣 all the menus, programmes were all french dubbed etc etc.

Had to use Google to navigate the menus to change it back, and then changed my password...!

Warehouse manager upset me so I took the little access machine that he's shit at maneuvering (the trick is to take it up a few feet for the turn and just rotate it) and parked it in reverse up against the broken down forklift, in between the forks so tightly that I had to climb out of it because I couldnt open the gate. He hadn't a hope of getting it out and had to trek up and down the flight steps all night.

The look of rage on his face when I came in the next morning, climbed in, and cheerfully drove it away was absolutely priceless.

Years ago when I was a Learner driver, my instructor was really impatient with me and had the cheek to call me a brainless cow, at the end of the lesson I got out, walked off and left my car door wide open so he'd have to get out and shut it.
Same with a taxi driver that moaned I had my cat in his cab in a box! going to the vets, same I got out and left the door open rear side so he had to get out and shut it lol
If there's a rude cashier, I take the receipt and don't say thank you.

I was once a junior administrator and my colleague took a dislike to me, would give me 100's of letters to mail out (just advertising) I'm sure just because she was being petty and wanted me to do a mundane job, I'd throw most of it away.

Some of these are hilarious! Great thread Op. Going to think of my own contribution.

I invited a college friend to my parents house for a weekend, we went to a lot of trouble to make her a nice room, favourite things for dinner, arranged a lunch party. I went to the station to pick her up and she wasn’t on the train we expected. Went home ( before mobile,phones) she rang, missed train, please go for next one. Went to station ( three miles each way) ….no show

she rang at 8 pm saying she’d met her boyfriend on the way to the station and decided to spend the weekend with him instead.
i rang her mother and said we were a bit worried as she hadn’t been on either train.

Then we rang again half an hour later and I told her mother not to worry, she was spending the weekend with her boyfriend instead.

hahaha 😈

My exH who was very distrustful of eBay at the time, changed my password when we split up! The reminder prompt was set to the surname of his 1st girlfriend.
My own (which I shared with 2 friends) was when four of us went to a small local festival. One of our party was being a right pain in the backside all weekend. The rest of us had to leave on Sunday night but he was staying until Monday.
When he was drunk on the Sunday teatime we took everything out of the shared tent and locked it in my car leaving the tent completely empty. On reflection we should probably have taken all the tent pegs too.

This makes me sound really immature. I am.
I was recently in a treatment facility and a guy was checked in who was incredibly annoying and rude. He was also gay and kept talking to us about it in disgusting detail. He wasn't well mentally and accused me of stealing his designer clothes and £2000 toothbrush. Then he took my drunk elephant vit c serum out of the fridge (which ruins it)

Twice a week we could order shopping to be delivered to our rooms by writing what we'd like on a chart next to our names and room numbers.
So as this guy had talked non stop about his experiences with sex toys I added "strap on dildo" to the box next to his name. Everyone thought it was him, and he was furious that nobody believed him.

Honestly I can't think what made me act like a teenager.. but I thought it was hilarious at the time. Definition of petty 🙄

😂😂

Agreed.

@CornedBeef451

Could you contact the crem to ask if you could collect your DB's ashes if they haven't been claimed? Perhaps they could place a note on them?
