At a previous workplace we would get big boxes of specialist waste bags and some of them would contain a free chocolate bar.
One particularly nasty colleague would take great joy in gloating every time her little piggy snout discovered one of these chocolate bars.
It's entirely possible that on her day off someone carefully opened all the boxes, removed the chocolates and resealed the boxes!!

About to report some vindictive bitch who tried (and partially succeeded) ruining my life for benefit fraud. She's only on PIP coz she's run out of men to baby trap and freeload off. Her "chronic illness" is sauvignon blanc and being a cunt. Enjoy.

I used to work with this girl that was a complete bitch and used to cause me so many problems but then play the victim all the time whenever we had to have meetings about it. One day we were in her car with the vulnerable person we were both supporting and I was sat in the back. I noticed that she could not see very well and even mentioned that she needed glasses so that evening I reported her to the DVLA I don’t know the outcome but I know they contacted her about it because she asked me if I’d reported her and I lied to her face and said no. God, it felt good.

An ex boyfriend had a vile ten year old son who used to stare me out like Damian in the Omen. Spoilt little brat so I poured bleach on his venus fly trap. Petty and childish I know but it was worth.it for the Augustus Gloop meltdown.
RIP little plant.

Not just petty but she shouldn't be driving anyone if her eyesight is being impacted.

Years ago when I was still with my son's dad I used to cut his hair with clippers for him every month.

On more than one occasion I 'accidentally' used the wrong clippers and gave him a no. 2 rather than a 3, or shaved up the back a little too high or not in a straight line (he used to like me to do the bottom/ neck hairs with no guard on).

If he'd really pissed me off sometimes my hand would slip and I'd nick the big skin tag he had on the back of his neck. To be fair, if he'd let me tie a thread round it as I suggested more than once, it wouldn't have been in the way.

Unsurprisingly, we are no longer together!

This isn’t really that bad and it’s probably not the prettiest thing I’ve done. yesterday when I was waiting to get on the tube, some guy and his friend pushed in front of me when I was there first.

When the train arrived and we all got on, they walked towards the only pair of empty seats at that end of the train. as soon as the first guy sat down I sped quite pathetically in front of the second and sat next to the first guy. The first guy looked so miffed. There were other single empty seats I could’ve sat in as well.

Good on you. I HATE people pushing in front on the tube, especially when it isn't even busy.

Nice passive aggressive note in the window letting 'The Postman' know that the number was xx not xx so today they had a letter that needed a signature. Usually if it's something that will fit through the letterbox completely I'll MRA it and put it through but they got a docket to trek into town to pick up their letter.

I've done this soooo many times also whenever I get on the dlr or tube and I see a man aggressively manspreading I will sit next to him even when there are other seats and do the same forcing him to move his legs

My only hope now is to inspire other tattlers to do the same!

I can't say I've noticed this (although don't commute much any more) but hats off to you!

Similar but not the same, when I used to get the train to work I would always be the one to ask someone to move their bag when there were no other seats (and sometimes when there were one or two) because it made me irrationally angry that someone would happily watch people, too polite to ask, standing whilst their bag took up a seat.

Yes, I do exactly the same. I was on a packed train the other week and a girl was standing in the space between me and a guy hogging two seats. He could clearly see she was standing but was happily setting himself up for the journey taking up both seats. Until I loudly asked him to move his stuff so the girl could sit down. People get so entitled on public transport. If you want two seats buy two tickets otherwise you're being an arse.

A girl in work told me i need to ‘buck my ideas up’ i’ve only been there a week anyways i was in the lift and seen her legging it for it so i pressed the door shut button and smiled as the doors shut and went up to 3rd floor. i felt immense pride 10 mins later when she appeared out of the staircase upstairs sweating her tits off

A tip for next time is to also to press all the buttons too when you get out so it stops at each floor going down if she decides to wait for the next one instead of the stairs.

I forgot about these, once when I was a train conductor a regular passenger who was quite arsey got on and bought a ticket for £5. I saw him look at his cash and ignore the £5 note he had and give me a scottish £10. His face when I gave him his change as a scottish £5 was priceless!

So I’ve already exchanged four emails and I’m getting bored.

Want to tell him I’ve just gone with someone else already.

My wedding is next year btw.
