What is the pettiest thing you've ever done? #2

Am pregnant. When I was pregnant with my current youngest my fellas family and specifically his brothers chinless missis went to great lengths to try convince him our son wasn't his. Plotting 'my dates' on calanders and 'proving they didn't add up'. One time she broke down crying begging him to walk away from us. Baring in mind she had NOOOOO reason to make such nasty allegations and assumptions about me whatsoever in the slightest. Anyways she's also pregnant but abit further ahead then me. So am waiting until precisely one hour after she announces she's given birth to announce our pregnancy to just ruin and overshadow her moment of glory. What a shame.
This is the kind of petty I’d do too. You have to come back and update us, and if any pettier people than me can give tips to you on how to do it for full maximum pettiness, that’d be amazing 😂.

You should get the baby a big cousin baby grow as a gift! I'm so petty that I'd gift it at the baby shower.

You need to pointing out her weird obsession with your baby's paternity, sounds like she's deflecting to me. When her baby is born you should make sly comments that they look like a male mate of hers. Hold up a mirror to her nastiness.

Well me and my fella said if there's any slightest hint of a repeat with this one we're both gonna whole heartdly agree the baby isn't his - cause its his brothers.

Ex boyfriend wanted to meet up to 'clear the air' (he left me for the army, and the air i'm breathing is perfectly clear) but thought lets have some fun with this.

Told him I had moved out quite far and sold my car, but was living alone so he could come visit one evening.

Sent him a random address 3 hours away from his town, and when he called to say he was 5 mins away I blocked his number

Don't waste my time and I won't waste your fuel x
Ahhh LOVE this!! My Ex from 20 years ago love of my life (also left me for the army - whilst in the army as i wasn't the right 'fit' for his career progression. Married a twin set and pearls type 6 months later and she shagged most of his regiment whenever he was away)
Anyway..... hes always popped up every now and then i was the 'best S@! he'd ever had blah blah blah and would always suggest coming to see me.
He suggested it one day so i said yeah go on..... I gave him my village name (Not my actual one) he drove about 150 miles to it. Called me when he was there so I gave him the absolute runaround for hours! Even drove past him just to see him sat there struggling and baffled!

I reached peak pettiness today and it’s cheered me up no end after a crappy work day!
Driving home there is about a half a mile stretch that is very much stop-start-stop-start. Anyway we are all queing nicely, only one lane but it is a wide lane. So this absolute bellend in a white van decides he’s going to drive round everyone and then bully his way in at the front. NOT ON MY WATCH you don’t. I pulled over to the side at the top which blocked him behind me and then I let about ten cars undertake us 😂 He deserved it. He probably que jumped about 50!

My neighbour was driving mead with our shared garden. I told her we pick up after our dog it's our other neighbour who is elderly who doesn't pick it up so I picked it up in a bag and left it on the pavement to our flat block 😂
 
I was on holiday recently and the 4 people in the apartment below us would sit on their balcony every night talking/shouting way too loudly for a shared area, until at least 1am. They were really snooty the 2 nights I asked them to keep it down so my kids could sleep and they didn't even bother trying the 2nd time.

Well, we went to a petting zoo the next day and I noticed when we got back that 2 of the kids had all sorts of animal poo dried in to the cracks of the soles of their shoes 🤢 I took great delight in slapping the soles of their shoes together to shake out the dry poo over these pricks' balcony while they were not there 😆 Sorry, not sorry.

Not the pettiest thing I have ever done but it is petty. We have an event in work tomorrow where we are expected to bring in home baked goods.

So i put myself in a call with just myself as an attendee for an hour and did my baking. My evenings are busy and I didnt want to give up my plans to bake for work.

Eh absolutely, why do unpaid work in your free time!

Also, what happens if someone can't bake? 😅

We can bring in shop bought stuff too but i just know that people would look down on you. I made something very simple as I am not a great baker 🤣

that's a great idea baking on their time not yours. How cheeky of them to expect home-baked goods though.

I also told my sister today to push back on doing extra work at home, and to ask if she would be compensated for it. If not then- to say she would get the task done whilst at work.

I would also not bake at home either, unless it was something I wanted to do.

Once, a lifetime ago, I worked for a woman and her daughter. The daughter was the same age as me. She was a snooty snobby witch. Passive aggressive and a bully. Her mother knew it, several people had been employed before me but the daughter disliked them so bullied them out of the job, the mother always was apologising for her and trying to make excuses. Anyway I took her tit for ages. Then one day, I was coming to the end of my tether, daughter asks me to make a cup of tea for her.........so I did........and I spat in it at least half a dozen times. It made me feel so good to watch her chug it down.

Me and my workmate used to have to make the tea for our horrible boss. He liked 3 sugars, but we used to put 6 or 7 spoonfuls in, to give him a heart attack or diabetes so that he would retire sooner. And we never, ever washed up his cup, hoping that he would be struck down with a terrible case of poisoning from cup bacteria 🥴 🤣. (None of it worked, I'm pretty sure he's still alive now, 35 years later!)
