The way Click said “unlimited rizz” and “no cap” felt like a parent trying to use teen lingo to connect with their kids
And that indeed was his goal.
I feel sorry for the hypothetical future Clicklings already. 😂
@@Narangarath Clickling sounds like a fae folk nightmare monster. I love it.
i love it
woah we both used i love it@@beardedbear9901
as someone with allergies people don't respect, the idea that there's somewhere in the world where exposing people to things you know will hurt them like that is illegal is kinda uplifting.
I know it‘s the case in germany and am pretty shocked it‘s not the norm? People could die of an allergic shock, that‘s not just a quirky prank ….
It really shouldn’t be legal anywhere. If you put any form of poison in others food, that is definitely illegal most places. If someone is allergic and you do it anyway, it can be pretty much the same. Yeah, sometimes it may just lead to some scratching or an unpleasant toilet visit, but other times people may need to call an ambulance to save someone’s life. Anyone who doesn’t understand and respect this, should have a giant sign above their head, with the statement “I don’t respect allergies” written on it. That way, people with allergies know never to accept food from them.
It's the opposite with a friend of mine. She has a ton of food allergies and I have awful memory. But, this dumbbutt, will eat things she knows she's mildly allergic to because she doesn't want to inconvenience me! I now double/triple-check anything I give to her to try in case I missed an allergy even when she keeps claiming it's fine....
I had no idea something like that was legal to begin with. I feel like that would fall under a category like assault or something.
@@ProbsNotABotmaybe when they come around your house you could have a list on the side of the kitchen or something by the stove that just says their allergies
When I was overweight due to medical issues, a lady in Kroger asked "you're going to burst! when are you due?", so I said I miscarried. I've never seen someone turn red before or since.
I hope she learned and doesn't do that again.
I am so glad you put that person in their place. Strangers should not be commenting on your body ever. ❤
I'm confused... You'd rather be thought of as fat instead of mistaken as pregnant? Weird flex, but okay.
@@chatboulon743but what if she *had* miscarried? then the questioner would have ruined a stranger's day even more than it already was by rubbing her face in her loss. why risk that, just to satisfy intrusive curiosity about a stranger?
@@chatboulon743 Any comments by a stranger on your body size are inappropriate. I hope after that interaction that lady doesn’t make that same asshole move again.
@@chatboulon743 My opinion isn't the point. Imagine if I *had* miscarried and someone just reminded me of one of my worst losses in the middle of the grocery store in a way that reaffirms I won't be a mother.
Critical thinking is a skill - look up courses to improve yours.
Fun fact: During courtship, a male penguin will find the smoothest pebble to give to a female as a gift.
Now, that is a fun fact!
This is also the mechanism by which penguins independently developed prostitution
@@DerplingKing yep
I want my future partner to do this. Give me all the shiny and smooth rocks please
@@MoonlitBookworm73 sameee
Can we please collectively adopt a "look at the spotlight stealer with disgust for five seconds and then pretend nothing was said" as a way of dealing with people like Todd? No drama, just social shunning and denying them what they want.
Yeah, but if they have even one or two people who will nod and go along like the parents in this case clearly are, it's not that likely to work.
Also some people out there have a very high tolerance against judgemental stares and deathly silence.
I dunno, I think those could be teachable moments. For example, Todd could have been taught what it feels like to be dragged face down out of a wedding hall by his ankles.
@@lnsflare1 Op literally destroyed his brother s'life and all for what?
"Waaah he interrupted my wedding party so unfair I wanted my day all for myself"
I can't believe such childish people can just do that and not feel bad
These are grown ass adults
@@Onlynubfound the "Todd"
@@Onlynub "destroyed his brother life" they just played his game. Too bad it's not as fun when we turn tables.
People who try to be like, "Smile, it could be worse." Are what i see as 'toxic positivity'.
Absolutely, the forced positivity movement needs to slow the heck down.
It's totally fine if you want to go into the world with a smile, but forcing all others to do that is just plain horrific
It's like the black dot in Yin of Yin and Yang.
The evil of good intentions paves the way to hell.
Like the people who expect minimum wage workers to appear happy all the time and will actually complain about it
@@slayithathat’s not what yin and Yang are about at all. They’re about balance and unity, not good and evil. That’s a western misinterpretation
@kissit012 okay? And I have my views of it. That's why I said "it's like". Not "it's" or "this is the background." Are Westerners the only ones that just enjoy things? Or think about a subject matter beyond what is already perceived.
Or are tho' a white knight, good sir???
I'm the bad intention that humbles you. It's like the white dot in yang, of Yin and Yang ☯️ 🤣 👍
I'm sorry but the person who hired an actress to pretend to be the side piece of his attention seeking brother belongs in nuclear revenge, not petty, omg
I don't know, depends on how superficial the brother and his girlfriend's relationship was. People that are only together so they can make their relationship milestones into theater, as the post certainly seems to point to, really aren't losing that much with a messy breakup. Those kinds of people might even count that as validating, too.
@@Shalakor
They had a kid. Regardless of how shallow the parents might be, they're what that kid's got.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 Having two bad caretakers can be exponentially worse than just one bad caretaker. Toxicity feeds toxicity. Really wish my mom didn't keep marrying new terrible people every time she got divorced.
@@Shalakor
Fair point.
Yeah that seems like a lot. He should have just not invited his brother. This punishes Lucy and their kid, as well as Todd, and gives Todd a false label as a cheater that could affect him for a long time, when all he did was something childish that maybe took some attention off a bride for a couple minutes.
We once had a customer come up complaining about a hair in her sandwich, trying to get more free food. The hair was pink. She insisted she get a replacement sandwich (while still wanting to keep the ‘contaminated’ food) and a coupon for the inconvenience.
Our store didn’t allow unnatural hair colors.
She was the only one with pink hair in the building. Didn’t think we’d catch on.
...That's, just, how common did she think pink hair is?
@@Shalakor I think she just figured we wouldn’t question or notice and just accept fault.
Poor dear, her hair was brighter than she was.
Yeah, they'd have to think in order to think of that. I saw something similar at [insert generic fast food restaurant here]. It was a small place and only one employee was there, who was wearing a beanie. Customer tried to claim it was the employees hair in their food. Employee kept trying to say it couldn't be their hair until they eventually gave up, took off their gloves, and removed their hat to show a bald head. The customer didn't get free food. 😂
@@eyesofthecervino3366LMFAO
I don't feel bad for the couple that tried to get engaged at the wedding. He knew it wasn't cool.
I was once at a wedding where such an engagement was set up with the bride and groom's consent. They arranged for the couple to catch the bouquet and garter, then as they were doing the whole garter scene, he pulled out a ring and proposed. But That was arranged with the happy couple. Everything was cool.
See that is 1) cute af, and 2) polite and respectful
I've been at a similar wedding, but instead of arranging for the couple to catch the things, the bride chose not to throw the bouquet, but instead pretended to get ready to throw it, only to turn and hand the bouquet to the woman being proposed to and tell her to turn around to face her fiancé-to-be, who was already on one knee behind her.
It was lovely and sweet, and most importantly, NOT an attempt to steal anyone's thunder.
@@dahliablack1236 that's beautiful too.
That sounds adorable. Bet it was such a smooth as butter operation~
@@Roadent1241 it was.
to be honest, the bully/allergy one isn't just petty, it's necessary. if someone is willing to knowingly put someone in danger, they need to be removed from any sort of job where they can interact with serving people said allergens (and stay removed). who is to say that she hasn't done this before to someone, and wouldn't do it again? i always have that fear myself with my own food allergies.
Agreed
It wouldn't surprise me if bully is amongst the people that believe certain allergies are fake. Thats a pretty common belief with dairy and gluten allergies and intolerance, that people fake it for attention for some reason.
@kaylawoodbury2308 as someone whose got diagnosed with a gluten allergy this year after suffering several years and mostly being bed ridden for the last 1-2 years (and still can't consume any milk, dairy products and eggs eithee), why would anyone want to fake it? The pain is the worst I've ever had. And I only recently managed to gett less really bad period pains.
Dafuq?!
Why are some people this insane?
@@DragonriderEponaunfortunately, there are people that will fake it for attention. Maybe they think it's a silly quirky thing to have food allergies when in reality it sucks
@@DragonriderEpona And yet, people DO fake allergies (and other disabilities) all the time, which makes life harder for those of us with REAL conditions.
My little revenge story was in the 90s. My best friend’s little sister wanted the Olympic Barbie for her 5th birthday. Her grandmother was a mean woman who enjoyed being petty to the kids and her daughter-in-law. So I anticipated her telling a 5 year old she couldn’t open and play with her Barbie because it’s a collector’s item. I bought 2 and wrapped them separately.
Sure enough as soon as the kid opens her present the grandmother tells her she has to put it away and not open it. I hand her the second one and she lit up seeing it. I told her one is to play with and the other to save.
Her grandmother was pissed and couldn’t say a word.
Thank you, she will remember that kindness until she is in the grandma age herself. Source: me
That's awesome!
Dear goodness me, I hate it to no ends if adults tell children what to do with their gifts / their stuff. I get that in some cases it's well-meant, but for F's sake, how is anybody to learn responsibility if they aren't allowed to make their own decisions?
Children have few enough freedoms, don't mess with the few that they have. That Grandma sounds like the incarnation of Aunt Norris.
@Julia-lk8jn you get extra points for the Jane Austen reference
Imagine 10 years later still finding glitter in your house to remind you of that time you cheated. That seems effective revenge.
Why is no one pointing out that she went through his mails and tracked his LOCATION WITH GOOGLE?!
They were clearly both just bad for each other.
@@bleehh were they not in a relationship? I've seen a lot of people in relationships track their partners with the life360 app and so on. It's not really insane tbh unless they had only been dating a short while.
@bleehh Dude shut up
@BarbieDreamDungeon why should they shut up?
I mean...she only tracked him after she discovered proof he was cheating. She did it only to make sure he was out of the house.
The part with the person who got told to smile, reminded me of a situation I've been in a few weeks ago.
My best friend left this planet, I sat in the street and cried. An elder lady told me, it couldn't be so bad that I, a grown woman, needs to cry in public. Not kidding.
I asked her to tell me what could be worse than a friend leaving this life.
I don't get why people feel entitled to strangers emotions.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I'd just respond with 'ma'am you do not know me, you don't know what I've been through or currently going through, next time you approach a crying stranger it better be to ask them whats wrong'
Did she respond to your question?
My cat had some medical issues that required some very expensive treatments and if we decided not to pay we'd have to put him down, hes only 5. It would basically be up to me to pay because my family is skint, it wasn't about the money because I could afford it but whether we should do it and having to be the one to make that decision was tearing me apart. I was stood at the bus stop sobbing and trying and failing to stop, a kind stranger asked me what was wrong and tried to console me, it didn't work but I appreciated the attempt. Being kind shouldn't be hard. Cats fine now btw
It bothers me to no end when people I don’t even know do that and I’m sorry for your loss
I am sorry for your loss
damn, I'd have been a good bit less polite in that circumstance, she's lucky you didn't ask her if she'd never had any friends to mourn of her own, considering that at her age it's improbable that she wouldn't have lost some too, if she ever had any.
I would’ve just started having a breakdown honestly. Making a whole scene, but not on purpose, just because I would’ve felt so sad. I’m sorry for your loss.
Don't feel bad for Lucy, she announced her pregnancy at a babyshower.
Oh, i dont feel bad for Lucy. I feel bad for that kid whos innocent
Fatherless /j
One thing to have petty revenge another thing to be a complete bitch and ruin a relationship.
I was gonna say the same thing
@@lillianvioletrose9637 it was a joke, I don't think like that
What makes the allergy revenge story so satisfying is the fact that Op hardly had to do anything. She just knew the girl was crappy enough to do it and the freaking idiot didn't disappoint. She practically skipped straight into that one.
I am a firm believer that kids don't go no contact with good parents. What people are like in public, but be completely different from what they are like with their family. Even if the parents seem super nice to you, you never know what they're like when you're not there.
Sounds like my parents. Always bragging about my sisters and I's accomplishments, but managing to make it about themselves. Like "Look what big thing our child just did, good thing we encouraged them to do it or they never would've made it this far". Gets home and it's "Why didn't you do better? Why are you such a failure? I should be bragging about perfect grades, do you even put effort into your schoolwork?"...... It sucks.
People would rave about my mother, how beautiful and charming she was in public. She was a selfish, narcissistic, sociopathic monster who did absolute garbage crap to anyone who was in close proximity to her. My sister, and pretty much all the female members of my family were similar. I fortunately took after my dad, and dodged the female horror show bullet.
The story of a trans dad reminded me of a post I saw recently on Instagram:
So, there were these two, let's call them transphobe1 and transphobe2.
There was a screenshot of a convo between them.
Get this:
They were transphobic towards each other because they thought THE OTHER ONE IS TRANS. What a lovely duo.
did u miss something here?
@shadowwolf7880 Yep. Throw them all into a sack together and let them claw each other to death ...
Omg thats beautiful
Just imagine “You’ll never be a man!” “Well you’re never gonna be one either!” “I’m a man, you idiot!” ” I’m not gonna support your delusions, *slur!”* “You fcking *slur!* Stop spreading propaganda to our children!” And it goes on and on and on lol
@@Vampress09 Huh?
Re. The proposal at the wedding: I’m willing to bet the brother has done shady relationship stuff in the past that made Lucy so willing to believe this so quickly and completely. If someone accused my partner of infidelity my assumption would be that person is lying until I saw a lot of proof.
Strangers have very rarely any reason to lie, but people close to you do. You're way too trusty.
@@lyondragons8898 but to extend that logic, someone close to your significant other also has plenty of reasons to lie, no?
it's also possible that she has done some shady stuff too. not likely, but still possible-- it's been said that cheaters are more likely to be paranoid that their SO is also cheating. bit of a different circumstance, given that she wasn't the accuser in this case, but who knows?
Some people are very distrusting, regardless of whether people give them a reason to be.
Oooh! This is a Very Good Point.
There were likely some strains in the relationship already, since _both_ Lucy and Todd seem to have a bad case of Main Character Syndrome.
18:05 that is actually sweet. How he kept his promise to *not* spoiler you. He atoned for breaking the "no spoilers" rule!
But yeah, knowing the spoiler and *not* saying anything while the other person is clearly struggling is SO damn hard 😂😂
Yeah, it's the best kind of revenge, because it's something you can totally laugh off! I'm sure he thinks it's fair enough :p
The story at 22:26 is why you don't go above and beyond for a job. Do your job well and have pride in your work, absolutely. But never work outside of paid hours or regularly take on duties you are not compensated for. That is an all-too-common tactic for employers to commit wage theft. We only get so much time in this world - some of us get a lot less time - don't throw that away doing unpaid labor.
Exactly! That, and you risk enabling a toxic burnout work culture where everyone feels like they have to do unpaid labor to not get singled out. Do your work well, have people's backs, but don't create a precedent of workers being exploited at your workplace.
I had one of those "smile it could be worse" situations with an extra "everything happens for a reason" sprinkled on top. The person stood in front of a staircase. I asked them if they would stand by that statement if I pushed them down. That did the trick.
well.. it definetly would have happened for a reason.😄
My dad does that "everything happens for a reason" thing too sometimes, but he's also the person who makes me and my mom made at him then thinks it happens for no reason.
It's become one of those phrases that while it technically doesn't naturally connect to being an @ss, that's the only thing I can connect it to.
the trans dad story made my day. sometimes you have to join the enemy to defeat them 😌
Giving "stealth" a whole new meaning lmao
I think "to kill someone with their own humor" is a phrase I have heard in a shakespear play....
Mf just went ‘no u’, absolutely insane and I love it.
not only a great story, but so cool to hear stories about trans people who have been out for _decades_
@@Misstborn yes!!! i was instantly happy hearing that it was the posters father who was trans, because sadly we don’t have as many trans adults/elders as we should :(
5:29 love that police captain. No one is messing with him getting his morning coffee
In Germany you actually can demand gifts back for "ungratefullness" - so this would 100% apply to the situation with the Spa gift certificate and her breaking up.
Hmmm... Maybe we should ask Christian Solmecke (German version of "LegalEagle" Devin Stone) about that...
In which parts of Germany?
I only know that a gift is a gift and taking it back is called stealing.

I‘ve been living in Germany for about 15 years. Never heard about this.
10:36 While it sucks for Lucy to get stuck in the crossfire, on the other hand, OP in that situation basically saved her from a lifetime with a partner with deeply-rooted narcissism.
She also announced her pregnancy at someone else's baby shower, so I'm thinking she partly deserved it.
@@bshap495 I keep wondering if that was her idea or his.. and if it was her's, if the two of them would not have been a perfect match... maybe not.
They're likely cut from the same cloth considering the baby shower announcement, but hopefully them being apart gives her more opportunity to reflect and change for the better.
@@karowolkenschaufler7659either way, she did it
I love petty revenge. I'm gonna use the 'my family died in an accident' lie if someone tells me to smile more. I also hate it to no ends.
I once did that sort of thing accedentally. it was back in the day when I was very worn out and had come back from yet an other resultless doctor's apointment when a very religious, "jesus loves you" kind of man aproached me. tried to explain to me how everything will be all right. I was so worn out that I just burst out crying.. seeing him slowly back away was almost worth it.
I have been alive 65 years and no one has ever done that to me. Yep, I'm male. Fight back, Penelope. BTW, I just learned a new favorite line: "Never say anything to a woman on the street that you wouldn't want a man to say to you in prison." Cheers.😄
spice it up a little~ my ex burned my house down and murdered my dog, the landlord filed a lawsuit against me because I accidentally did ____ to the apartment and now I have to pay $$$, my ketchup came out watery today😢
@@intercat4907that's such a funny line lmao!! I'm definitely using that later 🤣
It’s especially awful when you have customers try to say it to you while you’re at work and you’re tired from a ten hour shift. Like you’re not frowning, you’re not constantly smiling, you’re mostly neutral because you’re tired. “You should smile more, it’s good service.” I used to hear it almost every single day. One day, I was sick and had to go in anyways, so I was more neutral than usual. A guy said the usual “You should smile!” I got fed up and just said “I’ll smile when there’s something worth being happy about.” And he didn’t know how to respond so he just walked away awkwardly.
The glitter revenge was also perfect.
Slightly more wholesome version, years ago, when we were kids, my old dancing teacher gave some glitter to my sister. I can't remember whether it was for my sister's creative stuff or something to do with the dancing, it was a long time ago. This woman was so kind and loving and wonderful. She was like another mother to all of us at that dancing school. She passed away from cancer quite a while ago now - but we still find the glitter sometimes and it's like she's still with us in some way.
The person who was told by some random guy to smile was definitely a girl. No one tells men they need to smile more, especially a stranger. But any damn rando feels totally comfortable walking up to a woman they've never met and telling her she isn't presenting herself as pleasant enough. OP is more clever than I am; I'd just tell him to fuck off but they really TOLD him to fuck off. I tip my hat to OP.
I think women take it the wrong way... granted, men are terrible at communication so the misunderstanding is understandable.
True, so very true. I hadn't actually thought of it in that way.
Women tell me that at work all the time
It's even worse when they say "smile. It's the second best thing you can do with your lips." as a freaking opener.
I just threw up in my mouth, thanks for that. @@ThePopo543
The story with the guy telling OP to smile is way too accurate. I used to always get that, and once Covid started and the masks went on, it stopped. I only had one man tell me I should be smiling, and my response of, "I am smiling under the mask, can't you tell?" shut him down.
And this is why I'm still wearing a mask when the pandemic has ended. It's easier to defend my right to wear a mask than it is to deal with creepy men who think they should be able to control how I emote.
I remember back when I wae like 15 going to school on a public bus, some random grown up lady started talking to me about another grown up passenger and complaining about how "she could at least put in the effort to smile". I am so proud of young me as I actually told her that "you have no idea whats going on in her life", which I honestly don't think I could handle confronting someone like that today.
I'm so going to use the "My child died" or something line the next time this happens. Shock them out of their patronizing.
@@WelcomeApathycrying on command could be a helpful tool. Hear the words “you could smile more” then start ugly crying and sob out something about getting diagnosed with cancer or whatnot. I may or may not be learning how to cry on command for situations like this 👀
@BisexualCatWithPizza, or if you can't open those tear canals and convincingly weep on demand, just let the anger grow and shout at them like:
"good sir/lady, I've just been to the doctor and got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My uncle got that same diagnosis eight years ago and a year later he was DEAD! Only 1% of patients survive for three years or more after diagnosis, so shut the f@ck up you, [insert your worst curse words]. I have to come to terms with the fact I'm gonna die soon and you're giving me this stupid, ignorant crap?!"
I mean, you ARE angry when someone does this to you, so you can always harness that anger and exaggerate it for a good shocking effect.
(The thing about my uncle is true, btw. As is the 10% survival rate one year after diagnosis and 1% survival rate three years later. It's among the worst types of cancer and basically a death sentence.)
@@BisexualCatWithPizzaOh definitely. It doesn’t take much for me to get myself to cry and if a stranger ever says that to me, I’m so gonna weaponize it
I’m a disabled woman and the post about people telling you to smile feels so close to me lol I was on vacation in Disney World with my family (for context, I was 25 at this point it was February) and we decided to get a drink before dinner and sit outside because it was warm and we came from the North East, my sister was pushing me in my wheelchair. A woman comes like racing towards us and literally puts her hand weirdly close to my breasts and says “Your life is not a tragedy” she spoke to us for what felt like an hour, touching me the WHOLE time, I was so shocked that she touched me that I did not respond but after the fact I realized I should have said I only had 3 months left to live and this was my make a wish trip (I was diagnosed with a terminal illness when I was 2, and have outlived my expected lifespan) it was a very uncomfortable experience overall, just don’t touch people in wheelchairs or tell us our lives are good, you don’t know our life
As a fellow wheelchair driver, I'm so sorry, man. People seem to forget what personal space and boundaries and basically human decency is, once you sit down in a chair. I hope you still got to enjoy your trip!
Get comfortable telling people like that to fuck off. You’re not a better person for allowing others to make you uncomfortable while trying to be polite
@@Jana-fc4gl I did, it just started out on a very weird note
may i add, dont touch people in general if you dont know them. thats rude af
@@hegamona2864 Very true, especially near their more intimate areas
The Christmas Present Dad outweighs every single terrible human in this subreddit. What a nice man. I hope he’s divorced by now. He deserves nice things.
With the MIL and the gifts for the 9 year old, WHY KN EARTH would you punish THE CHILD for receiving gifts!? How is it their fault that their dad decided to splurge!? I don't understand people like that at all. She could have talked to the dad about spending and how she thought about it and how she would prefer it be handled in the future, but punishing THE CHILD is just insanity to me
The unwanted proposal comeback:
Wait until he gets down on one knee, then loudly shout: "What are you DOING?! that's your SISTER!!!"
Lmao!
I would definitely get on the speaker and announce that they were told not to do that and it was incredibly rude of them to do it after promising not to. I would make it everybody's business to shame them. I'd stop everything and kick them both out, parents too if they knew. Then restart the father/daughter dance.
Or:
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU?! YOU'D NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IS SHE KEEPING YOU HOSTAGE? I'M CALLING THE POLICE TO FREE YOU, DEAR BROTHER!"
And then watch the sheer confusion on his face.
I gotta be honest, that random smile for demonstration purpose was creepy, but I'd be way more freaked out by the fact that some stranger just approached me with "Hello, fellow pedestrian" :D
Yeah like do you want me to look like 😃 while walking towards you? Tf?
@@BisexualCatWithPizza yes. yes, that is what they want you to do. they want to be able to look at you and enjoy looking at you (often in a sexual way) and if you aren't smiling it makes you look less appealing.
I don’t understand why her family didn’t do anything.
I would be livid if I were them.
I remember seeing a different story of a similar situation, but in this one, the woman just had dental surgery. The random creepy guy asked her to smile, and she obliged, smiling so he could see everything, and she went so far as to let some blood drip down her chin. Safe to say the man instantly regretted saying anything.
british “person”
You have officially failed as a grandparent if you're like, "Better return my Christmas gift for my grandchild. Wouldn't want her to get in into her head that this is a magical and joyous time of year." Isn't spoiling your grandkids supposed to be the best part? Some people suck.
As someone who has been through a lot of trauma and ab*se (all forms, including childhood s*xual ab*se/harassment), I get very angry when people tell me to smile. Especially with "it can't be that bad" or "it could be worse." Why should I smile? My life has sucked. Telling someone to smile is really condescending and crappy. You don't know their circumstances or if they just naturally don't tend to smile. I've had people tell me "you look so pretty when you smile, you should smile more." And I'm like bruh 👁👄👁

Smiling should BE an Expression of Genuine Joy or affection . . .Not the Default you force yourself to AS Long as you are Not at your absolut worst . . . .expecting people to Smile for No reason actually devalues smiling!
My best petty revenge story (not mine) is when my brother and I were little. My dad had a bunch of unused CDs, and as my brother was scrolling through them to pirate Wii games, he came across one that had been used- only it had porn on it. Mind you my brother was like 8-ish at the time but knew our mom would be pissed. So he held onto it until he got in trouble for getting a D or something like that, then showed it to our mom. The anger immediately turned to our dad, and our mom wouldn't speak to him for *weeks*. He held that in for like 3 or 4 years
Oh damn. That's brilliant.
the long con
Your brother is certainly going places, that is a brilliant plan.
I'm torn between "Todd and Lucy deserved it" and "OP should have just refused to allow Todd and Lucy to attend in the first place."
Can't say the little Spotlight Stealer wasn't warned, though. He definitely got everyone's attention.
It seems like they tried their best to stop them from going. Family can be hard to deal with. I feel bad for the kid... The cople deserved it thought
It wasn't even r/pettyrevenge that was r/nuclearrevenge
@@StopSign692 yeah, whatever your personal opinion of whether or not it was justified, it definitely should have been posted in a different sub. losing access to ones child isn't a petty-level consequence.
It was also a nuclear assault by Todd, ao they're fully justified imo.
@@LRM12o8Nuclear assault??? "I proposed in someone else's wedding im such a baddie"
This is too goofy
This is adorable. No arguing, no fught. Just a wholesome trolling. He admitted when he didn't keep his word, and than made sure to keep his word after. Even through torture. So sweet. 16:51
I hate attention seekers at events.
One of my friends had a party in her garden to celerate her engagement. She invited a few friends and family. She also got the visit of her upstairs neighbours, a couple who were a bit weird (pains in the butt more like), but whom she couldnt kick out because thet had a legal right of way into the garden (she didnt dare push too much. She's a bit non confrontational)
The neighbour woman was friendly enough, and I noticed that she mentionned to several people that she also got recently engaged to her partner. People congratulated her politely and moved on. She didnt seem satisfied and so at some point, she tapped on her glass dramatically, and announced loudly to everyone present (and already aware) that she, too, was going to get married.
Stunned silence. you could hear crickets.
I am socially inept and was served 3 glasses of very potent punch by that point, and exclaimed loud enough for everyone to hear "THIS AINT ABOUT YOU".
This was greeted with chuckles and the conversations resumed.
Neighbour left, visibly upset, but in everyone's indifference.
Later on, my friend told me that neighbour woman dared mention MY "outburst". I told her she has my blessings to blame it all on me (she had to live near the woman for a few more months before moving out, as pregnant and needed a home upgrade), but I will never apologise. Everyone else was pleased by my intervention though, it was the talk of the month among the family members apparently (whom I never even met again lol)
I saw her neighbour a few times after that on the street, she changed side on the road to avoid me. Good riddance.

@@blessedsinner8686 had that happen to me once. He blocked my 4 car driver way. So instead of taking my Corolla I hopped into my truck and laid on the air horn. He tried to threaten me but I kept hitting the horn every time he tried. He moved out of my way. I received a ticket in the mail so I had fun with it. I went in and waited to see if the officer showed up. He didn’t and I paid nothing. The next time I saw him with someone pulled over I laid on my air horn again which gave him quite a fright.
I worked in a fast food place, and a customer brought back a sandwich with a long, black hair in it. Everyone working that night, including me, had really short hair. The one with the long, black hair was the customer's daughter.

The story about the spa gift certificate reminds me of my friend, let's call him Don. His wife had cheated on him with her ex-husband, and Don was devastated. During the divorce he let her take almost everything because he just wanted it over. In one of the few items he kept he found the concert tickets to a Peter Gabriel concert he'd given her for her birthday. When she called asking about them, he told her that she'd had access to get everything she'd wanted in the divorce and if she couldn't find them that was her problem. He and I really enjoyed that concert!
My grandpa used to have a tradition that whenever he went on holiday to a hotel with a pool, he’d wake up at 7 and throw all the towels reserving seats people had out there at 6 into the swimming pool. What a king
Now I have the Oppa Gangnam style song in my head while your grandpa with sunglasses is throwing off towels with gusto
Pretty accurate
On the subject of glitter: there is still glitter in the seats of a cinema I spent a decade working in from twilight screenings. I've seen these seats scrubbed near daily (sometimes by me when I joined the cleaning crew on top of working as cinema staff), steam cleaned, properly deep cleaned (also myself at times) multiple times over my tenure. It never goes, even after we defeated the remains of a fresh durian fruit smeared into the seats, the glitter remained >:(
lmao wtf who eats fresh durian in a cinema
The BotW petty couple one is very cute and I'm so glad that it was taken in good faith. Love that for them
I just love that theyre in a relationship where that kind of thing is taken so well, you just know that in another situation it would definitely end in a break up
I love how he didn't let out the spoiler despite being so frustrated. Props to him.
Yeah, like they had clearly had a conversation about the spoiler problem and came to an agreement, but on that occasion he got too frustrated and looked it up. But still tried to keep it to himself to respect their agreement, and thought the poster’s revenge was a funny comeuppance for his misstep. Meanwhile the poster wasn’t like actually mad or holding it against him, just a bit salty in a goodhumored way. Didn’t berate him or get huffy/passive aggressive or anything, just pranked him and laughed with him afterwards. Sounds like a really strong relationship
This kind of pettiness is what I wish to have with my future man - who ever it might be
Yeah, that one is the right kind of "we do a little trolling" that a relationship should have
The person who blocked the girl that parked in their driveway should've "lost" their keys for a whole week and the next week start going to work with their car without telling her
I can already tell OP's marriage in the Christmas gift story is not going to last. The wife not only backed up her toxic mother, but denied her daughter a promised gift that she certainly deserved to have, and felt that OP was in the wrong with the robe he gave his MIL. If my partner decided that our child (not that I would ever have a kid) didn't deserve to get spoiled on Christmas despite being very kind, hardworking, and helpful, Id absolutely break things off with them at some point.
The saying that gets me, is "cheer up". Since when does telling someone to feel better, make them feel better? I'm feeling sad, down, struggling a little and they tell me to "cheer up." So helpful.
"What a splendid idea; don't know why I didn't think of that myself!" Reminds me of the time some obnoxious 'therapist' told me that my partner's snoring was only an issue because I didn't 'accept it and let it wash over me'.
Yep, like unless that "cheer up" is followed up with "I brought cookies", I don't want to hear it. I will not cheer up because some random stranger who knows nothing about my life told me to. Nope nope nope.
I can think of a reason a mom might (still wrongly) blame a six year old for a divorce and it's, uh, not good.
I cannot think of a reason, and I'm perfectly okay with not knowing what one would look like 😊
My parents used to battle over how much it cost for my sibling and I pretty much from my age 6/7 until they split, and what my mother was using the money my father made on. Oh and my mother cheated and couldn't keep her business under wraps, so I knew about it, caught a lot of blame 'tattling' to my father.
Not the reason OP you were thinking I'm about 90% positive, and hopefully not too scary reason for the other commenter.
But wasn't it like the kid's big sister's divorce, that the mom blamed them for? 😬
Yepppp. Fingers crossed it was for something like innocently mentioning big sister’s secret lover etc (ex. “Ken, why does Joe only come over to wrestle upstairs with Barbie when you’re at work? I like Joe, he brings me candy. When Barbie’s babysitting me and Joe comes over, I get to watch all the cartoons I want!”) versus something much darker
@@elieli2893 That's why it's not good. Means that
1. the kid is the big sisters kid, not the mothers. Likely taken in by the mother as the big sister was way too young to raise their own
2. it was had in an affair. Reason it could be "blamed" for a divorce (is proof of said affair - potentially from a test)
3. if the big sister was too young at the moment she had an affair, it means her partner was her partner back then too. Meaning certain things (not generally considered socially acceptable) were going on.
There is an alternative, but that's only ***worse:***
The sisters partner (or the sister herself) was predating on the kid, this was found out, and the kid (hopefully) remained oblivious that anything bad was happening and likely not far from going so much worse (to the point it would have been impossible to remain oblivious)
That point 3 isn't mutually exclusive to the alternative, and in fact only makes it _more_ likely, makes things worse yet again D:
31:45 I can imagine the tone! Repeating it back exactly as the MIL said it, and watching her realise that this is just karma. Honestly wish we could see her expression in that moment
That her daughter, his wife, was mad at him as well after that is crazy. I guess she's just like her mom. But, like, she was ok with her daughter not getting anything from grandma just so she wouldn't have "too many" presents? Makes me wonder if the child was her step-kid and that's why MIL and her were being so petty.
@@WelcomeApathy Well the story doesn't tell us if the wife was ok with that. Maybe OP already reacted before the wife could. She might have just been wanting to keep the peace. Though I think what OP did was good to teach the MIL a lesson.
@soulangela7154 The story says the wife told him to let it go and it was her mom's right to not give the gift. And then the wife was pissed at the end.
@@WelcomeApathy I completely missed that then, my bad. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for pointing it out though.
10:44 Lucy said she was pregnant at someone else’s baby shower, she definitely deserves it
19:35 we have the same rule in my band's practice room and the library of my youth group: "Wer aufsteht, verliert", which is German for "who stands up, loses".
Both places often have more people than we can fit seating in them, so we make it clear that if you get up from your seat for any reason, you can't expect to find a place to sit down again and nobody is entitled to it!
I know it is annoying to have to pay extra for reserved spots at resorts, but there is something very nice about the staff being the ones who reserve the spaces not guests. It also means that if you aren't actually going to use it, you are unlikely to bother spending the money.
It would be cool if it were like those insert coin shopping carts, so you reserve a chair and and pay for it, then if you don’t use it in X amount of time, you won’t get the money back- it would stop people reserving chairs the whole day and people won’t have to spend extra money on that. There are still a few possible flaws but just an idea
“Smile! It could be worse”
“Frown! It could be better!”
The towel story reminds me of one of my favorite sayings from my youth, "Move your feet, loose your seat." and it made so many people rage I loved saying it after sliding into someone's abandoned seat as soon as they moved just for the sake of chaos.
We used to have a time that you could call "fivesies" on your chair, which meant you could leave for 5 minutes and people still had to give it back when you got back.
Depends on context imo.
At a house party, shuffling seats as ppl leave theirs is acceptable. If it is something more like a movie-night or they are seated next to their partner, and all they did was get up to take out some drink from the fridge or quickly go to toilet, it is _not_ acceptable. If the reason they left was to help someone stuck further into the couch get _their_ drink, or worse, to help _you_ with something, stealing their seat is _unacceptable._
As for other contexts it all changes. They are a stranger at a restaurant going for a toilet break? Obviously unacceptable. and so on.
The context in question though, public chairs & benches at a beach? You are obviously losing the seat if you leave it, and, in fact, if you leave things on the bench to keep it as you swim _you_ are being the jerk. Or, well, it is sort of fine if that's _all_ you do - just expect your stuff to be moved somewhere when you come back, and don't dare complain someone touched your stuff (to move it) or deigned to move it at all. Though it could be fair to complain about stuff having been moved haphazardly to the ground. At least if there are cleaner places like rocks or roots or hanging stuff on branches is easy. That someone left something on a bench, is clearly an indication that they were hoping to keep the ground off of it if at all possible.
28:32 In Australia for any kind of intentional food tampering you'd be very lucky not to get a custodial sentence for it.
I don’t feel any sympathy for Lucy because she announced her pregnancy at the sisters baby shower like she’s literally just like him and would have been overjoyed at the attention from the proposal at the wedding but they should tell her now that op did the whole thing for revenge and then go no contact so they can stew in their own wreckage
That might be true but then again, we don't know for certain whether she was a willing accomplice in Todd's shenanigans or was pressured into going along with it.
@@BlueTressym Either she is like him, then she deserved it, or she was pressured, and in that case this break-up is the best that could happen to her.

I had multiple bullies over the years. They would gang up on me and use my body as a football in the schoolyard as soon as the lazy teacher went for a smoke. Then, one afternoon there was a blackout and everything went dark. (I lived in the northern part of Norway, and it gets REALLY dark in winter) I wasn't afraid of the dark so I went hunting for my bullies as they hurried home from school. One by one they all got hit by some mysterious entity. I heard all about it at school the next day. I'm 48, still makes me giggle.
7:10 Oooof. Click had the - LITERALLY - perfect moment for “…and then everyone in the Starbucks started clapping…”
Shame.
12:23 Omg I’ve heard this story before. As a trans guy myself, I can confirm this can work. Although it definitely wouldn’t have if the guy knew me or any of my friends, but he’s not someone I see around frequently.
Thx for marking where the Story is in the Video I searched for it😂
A bully of mine told me after 3 years of daily bullying me that he „loved” me. I told him I was in love with someone else and that I could never have feelings for someone who did something like this to me. I'll never forget the expression of realisation on his face. 😂
I dunno where people get the idea that "He bullies you 'cause he likes you". Wouldn't you want them to like you back and not be possibly traumatised????
My petty revenge story was when I was sent to the emergency department when I had a rash in my throat. I normally don't tell anyone when I go to hospital that I used to be a medical doctor (there's a good reason -- quality of care often plummets if they know, but that's not relevant here). One of the nurses was trying to take blood from me and asked where they normally put IVs in me. I told him the back of my hand. He takes one look at it and says "No. Those veins aren't good." Like, why even ask me then? And he didn't even put the tourniquet on before deciding that - it's hard to predict which veins will 'pop out' when they engorge, so the fact he didn't even look to decide they were bad is... well, bad.
So, he sets up his equipment and drops the needle onto the floor. And instead of throwing it away and getting a new one, he decides it's still good, 5 second rule or something. He decides to go to my antecubital fossa (the front of the elbow area, where they normally take blood from -- which you'd normally try to avoid using for cannulae because you want to avoid causing scarring in case of future emergencies, and there's a tendency for IV lines to kink whenever anyone bends their arm). He misses the vein and instead of discarding the needle, re RE-USES the needle that was stuck into me. The lay person may not know, but you can't re-use the same needle even if it's the same patient. No matter how well you sterilize the skin, there's still the risk of introducing skin commensals into the blood and causing bacteraemia or sepsis. So then he says "You're skin's dark. It makes it harder to get the needle in." Which is BS, because sight is not the primary sense you use to locate an engorged vein -- it's touch.
The doctor finally comes in and she starts taking a history from me while the nurse is still digging around my arm. So I kinda act like the needle is hurting me a bit, interrupting my speech every few seconds. She tells him to stop and says she'll put the IV in herself, and that was my little petty revenge.
Side note, she puts the IV cannula in quickly, smoothly, on the first try without complaining about my skin colour.
No sympathy for Todd or Lucy lol but I am sorry for the kid being born to such no class people. Reminds me of my own petty revenge that, long story short, I had roommate who was trying to get me kicked out of the dorm because I complained about excessive partying so I exposed him for cheating on his girlfriend with another guy. She was very religious and it ruined the relationship. He also got kicked out of his church group. Not sorry.
The baby will be happier without an over-entitled narcissist dad like that. I just wish the kid's mother looked better than she does - but she went along with his bs. I hope she learns decent behaviour in time.
25:00 it's strange how so many bosses/managers think they own the people that work for them
I just don't get this mindset.
I could even understand the first part. You're in a tight spot. Stressful, lots of pressure. Easy to snap, to break the lines, to say some words you might come to regret. We're all humans. Happens to the best of us.
But then to double down on that, try to make it official and blame the wronged person for your failure... you deserve every bit of petty revenge you get!
More confused why he resigned then and there, instead of taking a long paid vacation followed by having the baby and taking the majority of the parental leave (still paid), and then resigning _after_ all that.
@@feha92From what I understood, he had already taken the vacation, he was technically on paid leave, and still came a bit to help. So when he resigned, the "2 weeks notice" was actually his paid leave, meaning that he would stop being employed at the end of his vacation and not have to actually come back to work. It was very clever.
@@foxsmovienight9696 Long since I watched this, but wasn't the story that the baby wasn't born yet? Meaning he was on paid vacation and not paid parental leave.
In which case he could have timed end of vacation to start of parental leave, followed by resignation. Which was the point I brought up to begin with.
Ah, Todd. He wanted attention, he got ATTENTION. So beautiful.
absolutely love the "you're an asshole so im gonna pull a stunt that's going to mildly inconvenience you for the rest of your life where i will be long gone from it" take on vengeance
I'm starting to think that a lot of people think that a spoiled child is a child who simply gets treated nicely, as opposed to a child that gets treated unfairly nicely in comparison to other children. If the daughter on Christmas got 6 gifts while everyone else got 1 small gift, sure, she's spoiled. If she got 6 gifts, and everyone else also got multiple gifts or expensive gifts, that's just treating her nicely. The MIL seems to think that if everyone's getting multiple/expensive gifts, she should still get only one small gift, so that she can feel like shit and like her parents don't love her. Great logic there
I hate being told to smile, especially by older men. I might be petty next time.
smile an insane sociopath-type smile next time, and when they complain, you say "You asked for this, right?" while maintaining your absolutely mouth-breaking smile.
This has yet to happen to me, but if someone were to tell me and/or my fiance that we should have children or ask when we're having kids, I'm going to say "I've had 5 miscarriages. We're still grieving."
It'll make it so that they stop asking other people. My fiance and I do both want to someday have a child, but because I'm a trans woman, It'll have to be through adoption or a surrogate. (But we still hope that a uterus transplant will someday be available for trans women so that we can have a child that way.)
That's the way, sis! I wish I could see their faces.
Sending hugs from a trans brother, stay strong :D
PS. I wish there was a way for trans people to exchange their private parts.
I so hope we get to the point of uterus transplants like that! I would be first in line to donate.
Oh, I'd never thought of that! I don't ever want to be pregnant or have kids, so I'd happily donate mine to someone who would appreciate it
Yeah, uterus transplants will be awesome. I would've donated mine, but there's no way I'd ever have been a candidate for it, it was a mess. 🤞🏻 for you though.

Compliment them (but not in a creepy way), hand them a small gift, wear a goofy hat. Not only will they actually be happier, they’ll probably remember it for a longer time.
Usually complimenting someone about their hair or outfit works
I would be very creeped out if a stranger handed me a small gift. Otherwise, yeah, I agree.
lmao I once had some random christian street preacher come up to me and try her act, she gave me a moon pie. nah that weirded me the fuck out, so small gifts aren't gonna help with that. I did still eat it tho, but at that point I had very little self preservation.
Though this advice probably mainly helps with friends, colleagues or accuantances where you're already on first name basis and know if they'd appreciate it or not..
I mean absolutely no offense but personally I'd be fucking terrified if some rando (regardless of gender) gave me a small gift of any sort. Depending on what it was I might appreciate it after the fact, but in the moment I'd be extremely anxious about what their intentions were

This is the BEST revenge story.
And… even better… the Coffee and Captain.
Petty revenge is the best kind of revenge
As a wise man once said the two most powerful things in the world are sarcasm and pettiness
I have a story for this subreddit that’s kinda dark. TW
Okay so my biological father was a predator and liked young girls going through puberty. He abused my older cousin who’s about 30-31 now when she was about 11 or so. She never told anyone for well over a decade and basically realised a petty revenge plan when I was born since I’m AFAB. She waited until I was about 6 then came out about it, the court proceedings and all took about 2 years and he was found guilty half a year before I entered puberty. No one told me what he did until I was like 11 ish but I remember being an 8 year old, nearly 9 and being told that I couldn’t see my father anymore because he did something bad. I remember the next time I saw her she seemed so smug.
*TL:DR bio dad was a pedo and abused cousin, she waited over a decade to put him in jail half a year before he could secretly abuse another a victim (me)*
That's so nice of your cousin.
Bro, your cousin did you a solid. I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't too scared to do anything, but seeing your dad with a potential next victim moved her to act.
Your cousin is a good person, coming forward with something most girls would take to the grave in order to protect you.
Uh, so either she wanted to endanger you for 6 years (where any sexual assault could also easily result in permanent injuries)... or she wanted to emotionally scar an unborn child by having it emotionally connect to a fatherfigure, only so she could permanently rip him away just as the kid was old enough for that shit to go permanent instead of have it covered by your infantile amnesia? Also makes me wonder if there was other victims in the interim.
ps: Also, this is not the subreddit, this is the youtube comments.
pps: and wouldn't that fit r/NuclearRevenge more?
@@feha92or maybe she just felt too scared to come out about it until she realized he could abuse someone else soon? We shouldn’t assume much abt thsi cousin we don’t know them lol
@@amdete8254 You are not being cynical enough and aren't trying hard enough to turn a gratuitous memory into a dark one based on betrayal~ This is the internet!~ :D
If we have to be serious, it is fairly obvious that waiting 6 years is just something that happened, and not in any way something planned and thought through. Like could be as simple as the person not knowing what recourse they had to address the issue, until they encountered the option in media or school or even some counseling.
Ok so the wife is just casually letting her mom ruin her daughter's xmas 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Exactly what I thought. That marriage is not going to last.
I suppose she was treated the same by her mother when she herself was a kid - so maybe she's been brainwashed into thinking her dear mother was right.
@charis6311 yeah she needs some therapy (like for her own good)
She spent her entire childhood dependent and under the power of this woman. It's probably hardwired into her brain by now to be terrified at the thought of contradicting her. Not an excuse, but an explanation.
@snowangelnc as someone who was literally shot by my own father, stabbed by my mother, and sent to nearly 3 years of "conversion" "therapy"i understand that ones situation growing up can lead to problems standing up to authority figures, however that's called maladaptive coping. Instead of helping to resolve the problem, her reaction was to make things worse and increase the stress and emotional distress of the people she should be defending most fiercely. I can assure you that I haven't even brushed the surface of how thoroughly I learned not to trust authority figures and to cope around them but if anything that should just strengthen my point that the fact that she is or still is siding with her mom is a giant red flag.
I appreciate you trying to explain it to me (and recognizing that this is not an excuse for the actions) but what it seems people don't realize is that if she grew up in this situation, she failed a dozen score times before even reaching the setting of the story. Do you think I bring lgbtqia+ ppl to places my parents might be without warnings and steeling myself to fight them off? Absolutely not, and not just because I'm a recluse, lol. If you are a past victim of this sort of shit and you don't warn people beforehand and have a safeword to extricate yourselves you're in the wrong imo.
If you, by action or inaction, cause another person to be victimized with at least reasonable expectation that such an event might happen, you no longer get to claim to be a victim, you aren't a victim you are literally complicit then, you are one of the perps. Unresolved childhood trauma that isn't even being acknowledged let alone worked on that continues the cycle of abuse is such an astoundingly huge and unimaginably brightly colored red flag that I genuinely can't understand yall trying to act like it's any less of a red flag than "I am actively siding with my mother to emotionally abuse my own child just like she did to me and not even remotely try to defend my child or spouse" that is what she said there regardless of what happened in her childhood, she knows first hand how painful that abuse is (theoretically, so long as the mom didn't randomly start one day making this whole conversation is pointless lol) and yet she is again actively choosing to force it on her child and oppose the parental figure trying to prevent it.
She needs therapy and a lot of it (genuinely not like being sparky or an ass) if she thinks anything she did in this story doesn't make her clearly an unfit parent at least when her mother is around. As in if I was still active as a first responder and I had an address I'd be legally mandated to call CPS and potentially law enforcement (this legally is theft since it took place at the couples place if memory serves, the item was brought to their home and given (placed on their property and left unattended with gift packaging and labeling) of the hubby had asked (and not if the wife had asked not to that's not how that works there is a whole chapter on this lol)
10:40 I also felt bad for Lucy for less than a second when Click brought up that she was innocently caught in the crossfire, but that feeling immediately vanished when he called Todd immature, which he absolutely is. He's worse than a nine-year-old!
I usually despise messing with couples, but OP & Jim helped Lucy dodge a massive bullet there, we should all be happy for her!
Imagine if she accepted and got engaged to a 29-year-old Toddler! 😱
This was an absolutely genius play from OP. The only little mistake he made was to signal to Todd that he was in fact behind it all. Don't think I could've come up with sich a genius revenge, but if I did, I would leave Todd in the dark and deny any involvement in it, as to keep the relationship to my parents intact.
If he suspected me and questioned me, I'd act all surprised, like: "Oh, I had no idea you had an affair with one of my colleagues. I never thought you would do such a thing, I'm deeply disappointed!". That would both serve to remind the parents that it's "his fault" (told him I'd make him regret it) and make him even more angry! 😂
Lucy already showed she was just like Todd - remember, she announced her pregnancy at the sister's baby shower!
Only one I feel bad for is the kid.
My husband is colorblind (can’t see red). However, he also can’t see pastel colors. It’s fascinated to hear him explain how he sees colors. Like, what would it be like to not perceive the color purple? He has me make all color choices and, to his eyes, our youngest spawn exclusively wears greys lol
"our youngest spawn" LMAO
Thanks for uploading, Click. Today’s been super sh*tty for me so far (prof singled me out after group lab and took her frustration out on me for something that she fully knew was not my fault), and this is the perfect subreddit to help me feel better 💜
I hope your day gets better. Mine isn't off to a great start either. 🤍🕊️
I hope your days get better - mine started off fine (first day of school etc), but then my health teacher outed me to my counselor without my knowledge (something I only found out abt bc she talked to me in person (she’s chill, but still, what precedent does that set?))
May you get petty revenge of your own
@@wilyriley_ Ohno. I hope you have safety and support. 💌❤️🩹💌
Thank you all for the well wishes 🥰💜
The couple spoiling video games for eachother is the best story here!
Though half of these I wouldn't say are petty either, given the effort fallout money & time put into them.
Im an artist and my stash of glitter is measured in kilos, I also have two inquisitive cats. They have ripped open several sacks, for a week or so everything is very festive, including the mayhem melons, but I expect to find these little shinies til I die.. we just co-exist with glitter now.
3:33 I had the misfortune of meeting one of those people less then 5 minutes after my mother told me that my dad had passed from a heart attack. I decided to just ignore her and walk out to the car, she made a scene acting like I was being rude.
another time, I was walking out of a grocery store and a lady who looked like she was on something looked at me and said gleefully "smile! it's a beautiful day" I glanced at her and calmly said "thank you" in a way that was like just brushing her off and continuing walking, she was offended and kept saying stuff but I didn't care, just continued walking. hope that lightened things up a bit.
A man smiling while walking down the street might be considered a little creepy but women smiling while walking down the street is so normalized that it’s how we are portrayed in stock photos. I miss covid masks! I want to be able to look neutral or mildly disgruntled without anyone noticing.
My own mother would tell me to smile when dropping me off at work (I did not work with the public). Random old men in the hallways who weren’t in my department also told me to smile. I’d like to see them say that to a man.
You still can in parts of the US. My area was always pro mask during covid so you still see people wearing them occasionally. I still wear them if I'm, say, riding a crowded train in flu season or just flat out wanting to let my resting bitch face be free
What backwater country do you live in where women just walk around randomly smiling just because? People try to police women’s behavior and expressions by telling us to smile, but we are in no way obligated to and most don’t just sit around smiling for no reason. Maybe stop trying to imitate fabricated concept pictures and listening to sexist losers and just live your life
@@MizukiHawkeye nah you know what pisses me off tho? the fact that I can't walk anywhere with my NORMAL FACE, without people calling it a resting bitch face, and meanwhile on a guy that's just a normal facial expression.
You can still totally mask! It's still a good idea too, especially in groups of people or at places like the doctor's office or pharmacy. Keep the covid cases down, and ward off a-holes all at the same time!
I still wear masks at work because they're sparkly and I like them. You wouldn't believe how many older male customers I get wanting me to put the mask down so they can see my smile. One guy actually got mad at me for not doing it.
Shit like this just reminds me to always check my privilege as the youngest because I never want to be cocky enough to end up on this Reddit page😂
7:10 “And everyone lived happily ever after.”
Except for the neighbor who will be hosting that cop’s car every time there’s a stop from now on XD
