Surrounded

Our hardworking grocery store employees are constantly picking up after us, wrangling shopping carts, and making sure we have a seamless shopping experience. But why oh why do some people insist on making their job harder by being total cart-hogging jerks? Maybe they think it’s no biggie, but it happens all too often. Well, one employee finally had enough of this one customer who parked right in the cart section like it was their own personal garage. So what did they do? They took matters into their own hands and surrounded the car with shopping carts, blocking them in completely. That’s what you get for being a shopping cart hog, my friend! Next time, think before you park.

Stone Cold Revenge

Revenge is a dish best served cold, or in this case, concrete cold. You see, this guy was determined to get back at his brother for wrapping his Christmas present in duct tape the previous year. So, what did he do? He wrapped his brother’s gift in solid concrete and even gave him a hammer to crack it open. Now, that’s what I call sibling rivalry! The best part? Mat even posted a video of his brother and sister trying to break open the gift. It was like watching a scene from a comedy movie, except these guys were actually trying to break through a block of concrete.

How He Hated Her

A woman’s ex bought a beat-up 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo from her uncle for a measly $600. But get this – he went ahead and registered it in her name WITHOUT her even knowing! Fast forward to 2012 and the couple called it quits, with the ex-boyfriend taking the car and dumping it in the O’Hare International Airport parking lot. Now, three years later, the car has racked up a whopping 687 parking tickets, landing the girl with a hefty fine of $105,761.81. That’s right, folks – this fine is officially the highest in Chicago history, with second place coming in at a mere $65,000 and change. We don’t know about you, but we think this woman deserves some serious kudos for putting up with this nonsense. Here’s hoping she gets the last laugh in this wild revenge story!

Now Solve That

Roommate’s Revenge can be a dangerous game, and it can be a double-edged sword. When he found out that his roommate had canceled their lease with only one week’s notice, he felt betrayed and angry. Instead of confronting her or trying to find a solution, he decided to take revenge. He gathered all the puzzles that his roommate and her boyfriend had been working on, and threw them in a pile, ruining all their progress. It may have felt satisfying in the moment, but it was a petty act that only served to escalate the situation.

Another Parking King

Oh boy, looks like this driver thinks they’re above the law – but they’re in for a rude awakening when they realize why that sign says “no parking.” Sure, reckless drivers and parking jerks can make you want to go all Hulk-smash on their car, but violence is a big no-no. Instead, why not take a page from the passive-aggressive playbook and surround their ride with shopping carts? It’s a hilarious way to shame those schmucks and an epic inconvenience to move them all out of the way. Who knew grocery shopping could be so fun and vindictive?

Petty Bathroom War

It’s not like it’s even that inconvenient – sure, the guy might do a bit of a search and rescue mission for his shampoo the first time, but let’s face it, he’ll probably just roll his eyes and move on. Honestly, if this is the best prank they can come up with, they might want to stick to watching funny cat videos instead!

Literally Anything But…

In the corporate world, there’s always that one colleague who seems to enjoy making snide remarks and causing trouble. For Jesse, that colleague was the lady who tells her that her head is stuck up her ass once a week. So, when Jesse offered to buy lunch for her admin team as a thank you for their hard work, she couldn’t resist the opportunity for a little petty revenge. As she asked for lunch requests, the snarky colleague chimed in with “literally anything but Olive Garden.” And that’s exactly what Jesse ordered for everyone. Breadsticks, pasta, and salad all around.

To wrap it all up, revenge may not always be the best option. But when it comes to petty acts that bring deep satisfaction, it can be hard to resist. From using junk mail to prank the senders, to changing Netflix passwords, they can certainly pack a punch. Whether it’s for justice or just for fun, the sweet taste of revenge can be oh so satisfying.
