r/Pettyrevenge How A Waitress Got Revenge Against A Rude Karen

welcome to our slash petty revenge where no revenge is too small our next reddit post is from oro boros a couple of years ago i worked for a small team within a larger organization that ran a rather niche grant program the team was literally me my boss charles and two part-time consultants who did our finances in bookkeeping my boss and i had a great rapport he hired me to essentially run large aspects of our program and gave me pretty much unilateral oversight of the key elements of it from program design and development to execution he was a great manager in this respect he provided a lot of mentoring and guidance but mostly got out of my way and only wanted me to escalate the big stuff that i felt rose to his level while i didn't love the job itself i loved having so much freedom i was sort of bridging that gap of moving from a young professional into a mid-career professional and so this offered a lot of growth opportunities one thing that made my boss great was that he always had my back one day i was in the office pretty much alone my boss was on the board of a few organizations and he was off on some half day meeting our offices were right across from each other so i could typically see him when he came and left and i could hear when his phone rang that morning his phone was ringing and ringing and ringing then finally my phone rang it was the executive director of one of the organizations we worked with an older man maybe in his 70s the conversation went something like this op speaking how can i help you i've been calling charles all morning and he's not answering yeah he's at a half day board meeting is there something i can help you with i doubt it maybe you could just check his calendar and put a call with me on there for when he's back i'm sorry i wish i could but i don't have access to his calendar so i can't see what he has in the afternoon and i can't add things to his calendar i'm sure he'll be back soon that is unacceptable how does his secretary not have access to his calendar who sets his meetings now here's the thing while i am my boss's employee i am not his secretary i don't have access to his calendar and my boss sets his own meetings not only that but i had corresponded with and even met this executive director in the past my signature block and business card clearly says program manager as is my bio on our web page alas this wasn't the first time someone had assumed that i was my boss's secretary it happens i was in my late 20s at the time and as a young professional woman working for a man it seemed a common misconception usually it's not a big deal normally i clarify my role and people feel a little embarrassed and then we go on about our lives so i clarified my role for the executive director just to clarify i am not charles secretary he doesn't have a secretary i'm actually the program manager charles manages his schedule on his own if you want to shoot us both an email i'll make sure that he responds and sets up a time to talk to you otherwise when he comes back i'll let him know that you called so you can arrange a meeting the executive director cuts me off again well i have an important question for him and it's unacceptable that i can't set up a meeting with him and i also can't get an answer to it right away how is this good client service well you know i am the program manager why don't you tell me what your question is and maybe i can help you the executive director explained that he called to talk about the application process and requirements for a program of ours one that i actually ran not only that but his questions were simple enough that i wouldn't need to escalate to my boss these were things that i could easily help with i said well you're in luck i'm actually the one who runs that program not charles i designed that application process and i would actually be able to answer your questions with a lot more detail than charles would he would just defer you to me why don't you tell me your questions and i'll answer them there was a long pause then in a patronizing tone he said young lady i'm sure you're very bright and i'm sure you want to be helpful but i'd really prefer to talk to charles why don't you just take a message for him for me okay now i'm kinda pissed i'm about to tell him where he can shove his message when i see my boss coming down the hallway so i tell the executive director that he's in luck i see charles now let me go tell him that you're on the line and to get back to you so i put the executive director on hold and intercept my boss i kinda explained the situation my boss chuckles to himself and says transfer him over i transfer the call and i can hear my boss pick up the phone chuck speaking oh hi there executive director how can i help you yes uh-huh yeah i was at a half-day board meeting you have a question about which program okay what's your question uh-huh you want to know about the application processing criteria uh-huh okay well have you spoken to op well she's actually the one who manages that program yes she actually designed the application process sorry executive director i wouldn't be able to answer that specific question no i'm sorry i don't know the answer to that yes that's right op manages the entire program and she's really the expert on it let me go see if she's in her office i hear my boss put the phone on hold he takes a long pause before he gets back on i'm sorry executive director but it appears she must have stepped away from her desk no again i'm sorry but she's really leading the program so you'll have to speak with her i could transfer you to her voicemail if you wish no okay do you have her email great so send her an email and i'm sure she'll get back to you on all your questions asap the executive director didn't email me for a couple of days and when he finally did i hopefully walked him through all the details of that program he was interested in i love this reply from tazbas not only did your boss force him to talk to you but your boss forced him to wait to talk to you what a power move our next reddit post is from i'm on an all-carb diet about four months before christmas in 2018 my boyfriend at the time accidentally spilled a drink on his laptop and destroyed it he couldn't afford a new one and it was his main source of entertainment so i said he could borrow mine since i didn't use it that often everything was fine until christmas that year he still hadn't gotten a new laptop by that point but i assume that was because he was saving up to get himself a decent laptop rather than a sucky one anyway he handed me my gift and to my surprise it was a brand new laptop i assumed that he had bought me a laptop to replace my old one and he was going to take my old laptop for himself nope his gift to me was buying himself a new laptop so that he didn't have to use mine anymore nothing else just that i was outraged but then a petty thought crossed my mind little did he know that i'd fallen into a bit of money so i decided to surprise him with a top of the range gaming laptop which was easily more than double the price and quality of the one that he bought himself so i decided to give him his present when he opened it his eyes lit up and he looks so excited at the prospect of his new laptop but when he started to open his gift i took it back from him and told him it was actually for me and my gift was letting him keep his new laptop without me trying to use it all the time of course we got into a massive argument that eventually led to us breaking up i returned the laptop and used the money to go on a spontaneous holiday with my friend for new year's eve no regrets op it sounds like your real christmas gift that year was freeing yourself of your terrible boyfriend our next wedding post is from dear ghouls i'm a bartender and the area where i work is upper class and petty as hell as i tell people all the time i don't go out here i just work here one random night not too long ago i'm making drinks at the well for servers to take to their customers while the other bartenders handle our bar top guests it's the middle of our rush and one of my servers comes up with a drink one quarter full and sets it down saying the customer hates it and was demanding a different drink specifically they wanted a vodka mojito i was too busy to put up a fight and the poor server looked run down already from the night so i went ahead and made it even though it was obvious the woman was just looking for free drinks the server runs the drink to the table and it happens to be the table closest to my well so i can see and hear everything the server sets it down and hurries off to another table and i watch as this woman absolutely slams the drink until there's nothing but men and ice left in the glass and maybe half an ounce of liquid on the bottom then she turns around and grabs a server again um i specifically asked for this with vodka yes ma'am it is i know what vodka tastes like this is clearly rum tell your bartender to make it right this time i'm not paying for this the server tried to say something but was rudely cut off and told to remake it again so she picks up the glass and walks over to me i'm so sorry op she starts and i immediately tell her it's okay i saw the whole thing girl don't worry i got you so i remade the woman's drink one virgin mojito coming up nothing but mint lime simple and soda water i cannot explain the satisfaction that we both felt when that drank at the table when we watched a woman sip it and go now that is vodka you get what you pay for down in the comments we have this story from ashton kat my favorite memory about sucky customers thinking their drinks are wrong happened to me and my friend who used to work with me as a bartender one of my tables ordered a vodka cranberry simple enough right so i asked my bartender buddy to make it for me and he does and i bring it back to drop it off i came back a moment later after the customer had taken a few sips and she said this 5k cranberry isn't made right it's the wrong color it's supposed to be light pink and this isn't it's too red and she was really rude about it too also this was during the holiday season and we were slammed as someone who drinks a lot of vodka cranberries this seemed ridiculous and the bartender agreed he said watch this and porter drank into a taller slimmer glass with more ice which made the color much lighter and when i brought it back she took one sip and said hmm yeah that's how it's supposed to be made and then she scoffed at me our next read a post is from bastet i live with my son's father and his family for a while after my son was born he and i have broken up since thank god it was supposed to be mutually beneficial but it turned into me and my son's grandfather being the only people working and paying bills in the house my ex's mother hated me she didn't really have a reason to she just hated any woman that she thought showed her up which wasn't really hard since her main job was holding down the couch most of the day to make sure it didn't run away i turned a blind eye to all the trash she talked about me and blamed me for but one day she took it too far it was my mom's 60th birthday her friends planned to take her out to eat then to a neighborhood bar for a couple of drinks they invited me along the morning of her birthday i put on some nicer makeup and clothes than i usually do for work it was a nicer restaurant and i wanted to look appropriate i was gone for about two hours when i came home i walked past her and she called me a [ __ ] that was the straw that broke the camel's back i was pissed i quietly plotted my revenge pretending everything was fine for about two weeks until i had a chance to put my plan into place she had all-day plans on a saturday and for once i was all alone in the house she was a larger woman so she really didn't have too much clothes that actually fit in that she would wear i went into her closet i even took photos of where the clothes were hung and how they were placed then i took all of those clothes and put them in the washer on the sanitized setting if you don't know the sanitized setting is water that gets up to 220 degrees which will shrink just about anything i made sure to dry them on the hottest setting too then i very carefully hung them back up exactly as they were using my photos for guidance the next day was glorious she went to get dressed and absolutely nothing fit she had a meltdown in her room she called her family bawling about how she didn't understand how she could have gained so much weight in one week she refused to keep a scale in the house she just went by how her clothes fit the next few days of watching her pull and tug at her clothes always brought a smile to my lips i don't know if she ever bought new clothes i broke up with her son shortly after and never looked back our next reddit post is from amniel so to set the scene i work in a failing restaurant people are jumping shift left and right and i'm one of them or i'm trying to be i'm a cook and the last good one left in total there are four cooks left before so many people jumped ship i was working a morning shift with a cook that i'll call rebecca well rebecca let me give you an idea of the type of person she is she's a short angry person who can't do her job and apparently her farts smell like flowers she likes to cook on the egg station but can't do to needing someone to hold her hand i refuse to do so since she refused to do anything else i'm running around the kitchen cooking everything from pancakes to steaks while she sits on the eggs and misses every other order i simply don't have time to give her her orders and run the rest of the kitchen to top it off when a customer complains about her eggs she yells at the server who asks for the remake overall she's a jerk to everyone and refuses to do anything besides eggs well finally her shift ended and she was on her way out she hadn't done any cleaning stalking absolutely nothing so i politely asked hey rebecca can you please change the trash out before you leave she yells back you see this is why we don't work well together you don't sign my paycheck and i don't need some kid to tell me how to do my job well to start i am young i'm younger than the majority of cooks in the restaurant and i'm definitely younger than most lead cooks but i don't think kindly to people pulling an age card especially when i have more experience in a leadership position and definitely not from someone who can't do a simple task give respect to get respect so fast forward to the present i'm now working on the night shift and i happen to see on the schedule that rebecca is the morning cook thus begins my revenge i clean the required places but whoops i forgot to change the trash stock the line or brick the grill so as rebecca walks in there's nothing on the line trash is overflowing and icing on the cake a party of 24 walked in as i walked out when she saw this she starts yelling to me about how this and that is supposed to be done and that i have to say to help her with the party my reply i'm sorry you don't cut my check and i don't need some little b-word telling me how to do my job and i walked out and went home when i came in for my next shift i heard from a co-worker that she got slammed the place was a mess but i cleaned it up quickly since it wasn't busy for the rest of the day that was our
