Welcome to r slash petty revenge where OP gets revenge against his toxic ex-girlfriend. Our next reddit post is from Jay Bachman. I had broken up with my ex about a year prior to this event, but she wouldn't move out. One excuse after another for a solid year until one day amidst yet another argument, she finally admitted that her plan was to stay indefinitely and threatened to claim domestic abuse if I did anything about it. That weekend, she decided to go out for one of her weekend vacations with the girlfriend. So I took advantage of the 48 hours I had and got to work reserving a storage unit and

rented a moving truck. I worked around the clock loading that truck multiple times, only sleeping a few hours that entire weekend. She had hoarding tendencies that I had turned a blind eye to. I had to pick my battles, and it had gotten pretty far out of control. Not only did I make dozens of trips, but the storage unit itself was almost too small for it all. It was truly amazing how much stuff she had managed to pack floor to ceiling in multiple

rooms, closets, and the garage despite living in the same house together for so long. I made sure that her laptop was the very first thing in the storage unit, all the way in the back corner, followed by all of her clothes. So much clothes. Then furniture, then all the meaningless, hoarded junk. By the time that I was done, that storage unit was packed floor to ceiling to the point that I had to really tetris the last couple of loads in there just to get the door shut. She was right at the end of the semester of school

and not only needed the laptop first thing the next week, she was also planning on leaving for a cross state road trip to visit her family. And everything she needed for that was at the very back. From what I heard, it took her and her friend the better part of the week to find that laptop and repack the storage unit. She missed some important deadlines at school and delayed her family trip by a whole week, which messed up her other plans and wasted a few paid days off at work to boot. The best part came months later. You see, when she first came back from that little weekend vacation, I had asked her to sign a receipt to receive the key to the storage units. She immediately

refused, threw a fit, tried to steal my dog, which failed, tried breaking into my house while I was gone, then came back hours later with six cops in her wake. To this day, I don't know what lies she told them to get that entourage, but after I explained my side of the story, they realized it was just a civil matter and quickly left. The receipt I asked her to sign was simple enough in that I offered to pay for the storage unit for 6 months if she signed it that day, but since she didn't, I removed my card from the account and put that unit in her name. Only problem was, the card she then put on file with them was an authorized user card

linked to my account which I promptly cancelled. So then, she missed enough payments on the storage unit that they locked her out and she was never able to get the rest of her stuff before they, presumably, auctioned it all off. This reminds me of a news article I saw recently where a woman took her boyfriend to her storage unit and said that there was something in the very back that she needed him to get to. And so he crawled, you know, over stuff into the back of the unit. And the woman just closed the door, locked it, said something like, I'm breaking up

with you, and then just left. And then apparently the guy was crawling around in total darkness for three days looking for his phone which he dropped and then finally found it and was able to call the cops and get them to come get him out. And I know what you're thinking, why would a phone still have charge after three days and I don't know the answer to that, but I read the news article and I even heard the audio clip of the guy saying like, hey, I'm locked in this locker. Please come get me out. I'm at such and such location. So I don't know how the guy still had battery left, but you know, that's the story.

Our next Reddit post is from Darling Darcy. So I live in a wonderful mixed-use building and it's been great. Lovely amenities and decent tenants and even free electric car charging. This was simple and easy for the last two years. And then out of nowhere, more and more Tesla people moved in bringing their swasta cars with them. And I'm like, okay, it's like 20 electric vehicles sharing four chargers. No biggie, cause most tenants respect the building's four hour limit rule, which should bother no rational person that understands that not everything is about them.

However, Tesla drivers are a different breed, and a few of them think that those rules don't apply to them, whether it's because they have a bigger car or they have kids or whatever excuse they have for hogging the chargers day and night whenever they can. Yeah, yeah, they have bigger batteries and need longer charging, but 4 hour limit is 4 hour limit. It wouldn't be fair if someone in an on-site laundromat hogged all the washers and dryers all day long, would it? Who cares about the reasons for hogging the chargers?

But wait, this gets interesting. So recently, the guest-level parking charger stopped working. Something's wrong. Nobody can get it to work. Now we're down to just the one downstairs. Something's wrong. Nobody can get it to work. Now we're down to just the one downstairs and that's it. Remember, each charger has two points so it's now two charging cables for over 20 electric vehicles. And some malicious Tesla drivers among them. I decided to leave a note one night on the charger itself because one malicious Tesla driver decided to charge both their

cars the entire afternoon into the evening, taking up both chargers, which others needed to use to get to our jobs and whatnot. The note simply said that the four-hour limit applies to everyone. However, the next morning, I went to charge and I found the note ripped up with a portion left with a reply written, SAY IT TO MY FACE. And since then, it's just been a race to the chargers before 4pm to avoid the greedy Tesla's who come and take them the whole afternoon and night. Sometimes they win, sometimes the rest of us do.

More recently, someone else left a note as well addressing their behavior, saying, please consider other drivers need to use these too. And the reply left on it was, I saw you on my cameras LMAO, I won't consider anything. So I took this up to the top. I took the note and the photos of my ripped up note and sent them not only to the property manager but to the regional manager for the property management company itself who have many more buildings throughout the country. They got back to me and I informed them that not only was this charger not working and this hogging was happening, which was of mild concern, but then I decided to use my nuclear option and tell them that their EV chargers hadn't been charging anyone any money.

This really got their attention and I found out that they're about to replace these chargers entirely with new updated Charge Point chargers that will start charging tenants money after 4 hours. Even if it's the customary $3-4 per hour, this will add up for the Tesla's hogging the charger all day and overnight. Now, you might be thinking this will affect me too, but my partner and I are dinks first of all. But also, my EV doesn't take long. It's tiny. It only needs at most like 3 and a half hours to charge to full usually.

Basically, unless I'm an inconsiderate butthole, I won't get charged ever. Down in the comments, ImRDuster adds, Here in London, the on-street car chargers charge a standard rate until your car is charged. But once your car stops charging while still plugged in, they charge one pound per minute. I don't drive an EV, but I imagine even the Porsche Taycan drivers don't like paying that one pound a minute. Just the other day I was driving somewhere and the car in front of me was a Tesla, but the license plate said Vote Dem and there were a bunch of pro was a Tesla, but the license plate said vote DEM and

there are a bunch of pro-democrat bumper stickers. So I can only assume that this person bought their Tesla before, you know, we learned about Musk's political stance. So I have to wonder how many other Democratic voters are out there who didn't know Musk was the way that he was and then every day you get in your car and you're like, UGH! I wish I hadn't bought this thing! Our next reddit post is from KingsofDom. We've lived in our house for about 8 years in a rural neighborhood in Arizona. About a year ago, this dude from California bought the lot next to us and threw a fit

about the stuff that we had on the property line. We had put a single fence pole vaguely where the property line was. We hadn't had any sort of survey done. It was supposed to just be a temporary marker that became a permanent marker. The dude was absolutely livid that we had vehicles parked on his property. The very tip of one of our cars was touching the established boundary. He threatened to have our vehicle towed. So we simply had an actual land survey done and it turned out the property line was a good 20 inches into his property. Homeboys should have just let sleeping dogs lie and not been a butthole about a few inches. Hey, you know, let's keep this in mind. When you're a butthole,

a couple of inches can be a big deal. Our next Reddit post is from Netpastr. I have a pretty easy Google voice number that people tend to use to make reservations. I've gotten hundreds over the years, and it's mildly annoying. There's usually a link to the confirmation text messages to cancel, which I always do on the day of the reservation. This last Tuesday, I got a text saying that my reservation was confirmed for today. Except I didn't make one and I don't live in that city. So I patiently waited to cancel it today. Today I got another text saying your reservation is at 6pm. Click the

link to cancel. Well, bud, your girl's gonna be pissed you were too lazy to use your own phone number because tonight's reservation just got cancelled. Happy Valentine's Day, chump! No Mexican food dinner for you! Down in the comments, we have this story from Altered Boy. My uncle ended up getting a takeaway place's old phone number. They couldn't be bothered reprinting the phone numbers with the new number so he would get their phone orders.

He asked them politely to change it. They were very rude and said they hadn't seen a decrease in orders so they wouldn't. So he just started taking their orders. He would schedule pick up for all the customers at the same time so they'd make a scene. They changed the menus pretty quickly after that. Our next reddit post is from IHateSmorse. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are notoriously cheap, stingy, and manipulative. Other than that, they're as nice as could be. We have a big box membership and both I and my husband, my brother-in-law's brother, have a card. One of them, my sister-in-law probably, asked to borrow his card to use at that store and then never returned it. Normally, who cares? I'm happy to share, but they're just so damn cheap and stingy that it started to bug

me so I asked for the card back saying that we needed it. She says sure and she gives it to me. Four to five months later, my husband asks for my card and I ask where his is. Oh, I lent it to my sister. Uh huh. Okay, plan B. Next time I was at their house, I offered to split the cost of the membership. At the time, that was 50 bucks a year.

Their response, Oh, we really don't use it that much, but I'll talk to my husband. Uh-huh. Plan C. Petty Revenge. I logged in online and saw they were using it one to two times a month. Pennywise, pound foolish. F around and find out. I went to the store and asked for my membership to be cancelled effective immediately. I told no one. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law went shopping, loaded everything on the belt, scanned the card and they were presented with a renewal fee. Rather than pay it, they walked out. We never spoke

about it, but my brother-in-law told my other brother-in-law who told me and just laughed. He and I are on the same page. Brings me such satisfaction to play out that scene in my head. Down in the comments, we have this story from Punk Linux. My ex had a family who were all on her Netflix account and were sharing it willy-nilly with their friends. She got locked out because there were more than five users and someone deleted her profile which pissed her off even more.

So she cancelled the account. Immediately, like within hours, her cousin called her and said there was something wrong with the account. Then two more relatives the same day, but she was at work and didn't answer. By the time she got off work, about eight relatives were angry as hell, so she messed with them and said, works for me. She gave them her old login and password and said that it was working fine for her. One of them actually called Netflix who told them the account was cancelled, so they told everyone else on the group chat, and all hell broke loose. At some point, my cousin deduced the account was being shared between 15 people,

and that's the one she knew about. Incredible. So she said, yeah, you guys shared too much and it got cancelled. Thanks a lot. You really screwed us all over. So then they all started blaming one another, and my ex just giggled about how much her relative squabbled over a $12.99 subscription. It became known as the Netflix situation. Her mom even got involved trying to get her to un-cancel it and she played dumb, even saying they were gonna take her to court and she might go to jail for fraud and all because everyone was so greedy. She said, if I go to jail, I'm going to name names. You'll all come with me. One panicked so bad, she threw out her TV. She had a really toxic family, but I'd be a liar if I didn't find that

amusing at the time. Our next Reddit post is from many more ways. I was going through a security checkpoint line and the line was getting long and we have to bend around the corner so that we don't block foot traffic. Then this old woman decided she was too good to walk around the corner and get in the back of the line and just decided to cut right in front of me as I was passing the corner. I tried telling her the line was at the back nicely, but she literally just dropped her carry-on and walked to the front of the line to get to the security body check. She was probably thinking that we would just push her bags along. She technically didn't just cut in front of me, she was cutting in front of everyone while expecting us chums to push her bag through.

I did initially push her bag for a while while but decided screw it and skipped her bags. The woman behind me saw what I did and she skipped the bags too. When I got through the security check, I saw her anxiously looking around for her bag. She then approached me asking where her bag was. I simply told her she got the wrong person and walked away. OP should have gone even one step further and reported a suspicious abandoned bag to authorities. You think a cavity search would make grandma learn her lesson?
