“Cancelled His 1st Class Ticket”: 30 People Share The Pettiest Things They’ve Ever Done
Interview With Expert
The healthy way to react when someone’s annoying or mean is to be the bigger person. Embrace what’s happened, forgive them, and move on with your life. Or respond with unexpected kindness. But nobody’s ‘perfect.’ Sometimes, we can’t help but seek revenge to teach others a lesson. This is far more common than you might think.
The users of X, formerly Twitter, recently opened up about the pettiest things they’ve ever done in a viral thread that was viewed tens of millions of times. It is both a hilarious and low-key frightening read about the extent to which some people will go to punish others. Scroll down to see what they shared.
Bored Panda reached out to licensed professional counselor Rodney Luster, Ph.D., for his thoughts on the healthy way to react to people who we find rude, as well as how to be less responsive to insults, whether real or perceived. He shared how deploying a 'forced opposites' approach in the face of rudeness can have unexpectedly positive results. Dr. Luster is the founder of 'Inspirethought' and the host of the ‘More Than a Feeling’ blog on Psychology Today.

Me too. My ex was in the Army when we met and married. He literally came with his clothes, a few personal items, and a frying pan and one spoon. I was widowed, and had a fully equipped apartment, including a baby. When we divorced six years later, he left with enough essentials to furnish his own apartment. All he had to buy was a bed and a TV. I didn’t find out until after the divorce that he’d been cheating through most of our marriage, or I wouldn’t have been so nice!

"Most of the time, people respond to perceived rudeness or insults defensively, instinctually, by going inward or reacting to rude behavior. But there is more going on in the experience that is often missed because our brains code information that stands out dramatically rather than contextually. In other words, rude remarks as we are confronted with them, lack greater context. Thus, we simply rely on what we are seeing and experiencing for what it is," Dr. Luster, the founder of 'Inspirethought' and the host of the ‘More Than a Feeling’ blog on Psychology Today, shared with us via email.
"Rudeness or rude behavior can be considered a 'semantic meta-language' all its own, with its own degrees and variabilities of impoliteness scattered in between. But, there is also an important 'pragmatic competence' we can bring to the picture when we are met by what we or others may consider 'rudeness.'"

I lived in a multi apartment house full of blue collar workers and shift workers. Then a couple of students started a shared living in one of the units. They had loud parties not just on the weekends but thorough the whole week. And even when they were not partying, they were loud. After a few weeks of barely any sleep I started to rig their doorbell whenever I left home. At 4:30 am. I stuck a toothpick in it so it rang constantly until someone came and pulled it out. Eventually they moved out again. I later learned that others had rang the bell too whenever they left the house and yeah, there were a lot of shift workers. They tried to complain to the landlord but they had too many noise complaints against themselves. So nothing came out of it. The next renter was a young mom with a lovely little girl that barely made any noise. They were much quieter despite owning two chihuahuas. I'd never thought I'd prefer living beneath a unit that houses two chihuahuas than three young adults!

Former friend and coworker's aunt died. All my friend wanted from the estate was an antique mirror that she'd loved since she was a child. She was carrying the mirror out to her car on the day the family gathered to remove the items they wanted. Her cousin came up to her and said "That's my mirror. I want that." The cousin reached for the mirror and my friend intentionally dropped it and said "Oops. I guess nobody gets it now." Fortunately she wasn't superstitious. I'm sure her aunt approved.

How I Came to Own a Collarbone Matched Pearl Necklace (Or: My Sister is Savage) My oldest sister's husband was a charming, fun brother-in-law, attentive father, successful business man and philanderer. His engagement give to her was a pearl necklace as described above. There they are in her engagement and wedding photos. Christmas time about 8 years into their marriage, she went to surprise him for lunch. He wasn't in his office but when he walked in, she immediately apologized for ruining his Christmas "surprise " by finding a pearl necklace in his desk while looking for a pad to leave him a note. Trapped, he had to give it to her, neither of them mentioning that it was just like the one she already had. I never said he was imaginative. When I turned 21, I got the necklace meant for the girlfriend. Their daughter got the engagement set on her 21st.
The professional counselor referred to research done by Sophia Waters in 2012 where she presented rudeness as "a unique, non-cooperative or competitive kind of behavior that often ends up destabilizing basic interactions."
Dr. Luster said: "If we take a moment to qualify the other person's state, more often than not, such rudeness comes from the perceived injustices the person may feel they have experienced whether before or during an interaction."
He suggested that instead of reacting to the rudeness, we ought to challenge our limbic system. "The limbic area of the brain is responsible for many things, and also contains much of the 'feeling state' energy we feel when rude behavior crosses our paths. Rude behaviors may trigger emotions in us, as we weigh what has just happened against our own inventory of what is right, what is wrong, and slights that feel like injustices. But these are responses that don't need reactions that seek to equalize the status quo," the founder of 'Inspirethought' explained to Bored Panda.
"When we are confronted with rude behavior, the person dispensing the behavior seeks to convey something, and perhaps even expects a response. However, not responding to their behavior throws a wrench in all of it. You don't have to respond, and in fact, challenging your responses can be a healthy way to learn to exercise internal control. Revisioning such contexts as opportunities to exercise your own internal controls is a much better alternative. Let that executive front brain functioning kick in!"

I know people who claim they are allergic to cell phone radiation. They always ask me to turn off my smartphone when I visit them. I turn the smartphone off theatrically in front of them and then secretly turn it on again. The allergy is still gone. The human mind is powerful. For a long time I thought I was allergic to nuts because my mother told me that they made me fat and disgusting. A stay in the psychiatric hospital and I was no longer allergic to nuts. Here in Germany there are also a lot of people who are a kind of "allergic" to cold weather. It's called frigophobia - the believe of getting sick from cold weather. A mental disorder but it is so common here..nobody seems to know it is a mental disorder.

I single-handedly "cured" a child of egg allergies. His mother came into school and announced that her child had severe allergies to eggs. I stated that parents liked to bring in cupcakes for their children's birthdays and she might want to send in a substitute treat for her child on those days. She dramatically explained that she didn't want her child to feel singled out so she proposed a solution...she would make egg-free cupcakes for every child's birthday. She did this throughout the year (19 total birthdays) without complaint. The following year her child was assigned to another teacher and I let the teacher know about the egg allergy and the parent's solution. The parents told the new teacher that her child was no longer allergic to eggs. The mother was a kook, but the child was a sweetheart.

I make wine at home. After drinking an expensive celebratory wine, I kept the bottle. Later refilled it with some rotgut, corked & sealed it like new. Gave it to my brother who was all about the cost of things & not the value. He loved it! That was years ago and I don't remember if I ever told him.
T'Mar of Vulcan 2 years ago
It's been documented (I'm sure you can Google if you haven't heard about it) that so-called wine connoisseurs cannot tell the difference between cheap and expensive wine if they don't see the bottle. You can also put red food colouring into white wine and people won't know it's white wine. Same with Coke and Pepsi. If a person doesn't see the brand they will say Pepsi is nicer. But when they see the Coke bottle they will say Coke is nicer. Something happens inside a person's brain, and the studies are fascinating.
Meanwhile, Dr. Luster shed some light on how we can all be less responsive to insults. However, he warned that we don't want to take away "our inherent need to defend ourselves." The host of the ‘More Than a Feeling’ blog said that when we do experience a real insult, one of the greatest tools that we can all exercise is called 'cognitive optioning.'
"A technique I use with my clients is teaching them to engage in a 'forced opposites' approach. This cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) hack is one that requires practice, but once enabled, it really changes the dimensions of situations where 'rude' behavior has been dispensed. A forced opposites approach requires the person to do the exact opposite of what the person dispensing the rude behavior may expect. This is done of course with the goal of productive outcomes," he shared with Bored Panda.
"Forced opposite approaches require you take an alternative path that by its very nature is unexpected and strategic." An example of this would be to respond with kindness or understanding. And it's not something that the person who's rude would expect.

A little girl came running up to me at the daycare to tell me Miles bit her. She showed me the mark. These were kids that were almost five. I asked Miles. He said he didn't bite her. Miles was a bit of a handful once in awhile, but he was usually well-behaved. He also owned up to the things he did. He categorically denied biting Holly, and I didn't see any tells to suggest he was lying, which would have been out of character. The bite mark was still on Holly's arm. There was at least one tooth missing from the mouth that bit her. I asked Miles to open his mouth. Sure enough, no missing teeth. Guess who'd recently lost a tooth. That's right! Holly was mad at miles, and bit herself to get him in trouble.

Dr. Luster opened up to us that he's personally seen this tool work in many situations. "One story was about a manager who was confronting employees during annual review time. Many left his office angry and visibly upset. One person who used a forced opposites approach decided to instead, go in for the review with pen and paper, and listen to the manager's insights without reacting but instead, attempting to see things from their perspective, seeking the opportunities in what they were saying to try and deliver to their expectations."
The counselor continued: "Although the manager started out defensive, perhaps loud, and rude, his demeanor changed as the review proceeded because of the way the employee was reacting back: interested to know more, to see behind their eyes what they needed to work on, and assuming a non-defensive demeanor. It was a surprise to the manager who remarked about it later as he was having a tough day dealing with employees who also walked in confrontational. That employee walked out with a raise."
According to the expert, a 'forced opposites' approach can yield some surprising results, whatever the context.

Good one! I was moaning about the score I got on a vertebrate physiology test I took over the summer, a very intensive class, and one of the students asked me, "Why don’t you just cheat? Everyone else is. All she does during the test is read her book”. This was true; she read while we were taking exams. They had a group of 4 people that would sit next to each other. Each student would concentrate on one chapter and they would share answers. I am traditionally a mind my own business kind of person, but it chapped my butt because I liked the professor, and it was affecting MY grade. So I went and told her about it. I ended up taking the final early so I could go on a trip, but I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during that exam. I’ll bet everyone was spaced apart and it was heavily proctored.

Pettiness, anger, and revenge are all linked to the desire for justice. When we perceive real or imagined injustices in life, we want to ‘balance the scales,’ so to speak. That’s why we might verbally lash out at someone being rude to us. Or why we spend hours or even days fuming after we’re denied a raise or that promotion we’d been seeking. There’s a clear wrong that we want to right.

I fondly look back on the days before CCTV was in every parking lot, alley, and street. The things you could get away with doing to a POS's property back then.
As the examples in this post clearly show, we sometimes get worked up over completely ordinary slights. Say, when someone’s slightly annoying or arrogant. It’s natural to feel upset. However, it’s clearly petty behavior if we punish someone over such minor mistakes. We should know better than to give in to our intrusive thoughts.
However, some of the other stories in The Annasthesiologist’s thread deal with heavier topics like infidelity. While it’s natural to want some sort of revenge or closure when your heart’s broken, in the long run, sewing shrimp into someone’s curtains isn’t the healthiest decision. It’s understandable, yes. But it probably won’t help you move on.
If you want emotional closure with someone who has genuinely wronged you, there are two main approaches you can take. The first one is quite unpleasant. It requires you to have an honest-to-God conversation with the other person, where you’re open about how their behavior made you feel.

The idea isn’t simply to vent or to ‘prove’ that the other person is wrong. It’s about sorting through your feelings and understanding why someone did what they did.
The second approach is reaching out to a mental health expert to help you reframe your experiences. Therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool if you’re willing to give it a chance and have some patience.
No therapist on Earth can snap their fingers and make your problems disappear. What they can do, however, is assist and guide you through your journey in solving your issues. They can offer you objective insights that you might not come to on your own.
While often quite satisfying in the moment, revenge has a lot of negative consequences for everyone further down the line. Anger management expert and licensed clinical psychologist Bernard Golden, Ph.D., points out that vengeful thoughts and behavior are often only a “temporary distraction from underlying suffering.”

Nope, don't do it. Could backfire badly. But some sugar free candy will do the trick. Also something delicious with lots of xylitol or erythritol. You can eat a bite in front of HR to prove you intended to eat it. It only gives you the runs if you eat too much. Make some nice, small slices of brownies and eat a bite, nothing will happen, eat two or three and you'll get the worst diarrhea you've ever had. But absolutely impossible to prove that you intended to harm anyone. Otherwise, black or blue food colouring in anything with chocolate. The thief will be easily spotted by the colour of his lips and no, you won't get any backlash from that. It won't harm him, there's no intention to do harm and thus it doesn't count as a boobie trap at all. Did you put it in to find out who's the thief? Yes, but to be deemed a boobie trap it needs to be able to do actual harm. Black and blue food colouring has so far never hurt anybody.

Being serious for a moment, this is actually a criminal offence in the UK (under the Offences Against the Person act). Adding medication, even if its something common like laxatives, can cause harm-the original act words it as 'with the intent to aggrieve, injure or annoy." You don't have to have the intent to poison them, even slipping them a pill to give them unexpected loose bowels for a day would qualify. Edit-which is why lacing with hot sauce etc is better. Very easy to claim you preferred your food spicy, not your fault if your colleague is a fridge raider and steals something that didn't agree with her.

You have to do it carefully because it's considered mail fraud, but sign someone up for the RNC, Adam & Eve catalog, and whatever pyramid scheme you find. Those first two are incredibly difficult to get off their lists, and the pyramid one spreads to every other pyramid out there. Also, that was a major plot point in Second Hand Lions though a deleted scene I think... signing his brother up for salesmen to come by so his brother would have something to do in chasing them away.

This jogged a memory. I was young and poor in the 90s and music was my life. I kept on filling out the forms for BMG and Columbia House online (1998) under different variations of my name.

Luckily nothing came of it but if I could go back I know I wouldn't have done it. Wow. I forgot about that.
According to psychologist Golden, seeking revenge can lead to a cycle of wanting more revenge. This is because people expect it to be enjoyable as they hunt for an emotional release. However, aside from an initial burst of emotions, revenge is often far less satisfying than anticipated. And it gives others a justification to enact revenge on you in turn, even if you were originally the victim.

if you are now thinking about doing this, don't. especially if you are doing it to someone you don't know and can't be sure of their medical situation. maybe the roommate was quitting caffeine for medical reasons. not only is it illegal in some places, it can also be dangerous. caffeine can affect people with heart issues or on certain medications. for me, caffeine affects my blood sugar (type 1 diabetes) so if i am drinking coffee i have to take insulin for the anticipated rise in blood glucose levels. if i take the insulin and unknowingly get decaf instead, i could have a hypoglycemic reaction, with a chance of seizure and/or coma. it's unlikely, but not impossible. food tampering is dumb and beyond petty into just plain mean.

Caffeine has no sugar in it. So if it affects your blood sugar its not the coffee its the sugar. I do not agree with food or drink tampering at all, but like I said, o ly if the coffee has sugar in it will it actually affect your blood sugar. Going up or down if you’ve anticipated. The sugar and got a no sugar sweetner, then your BS will go down dangerously low, if you took insulin to cover the sugar, but didn’t get it. Or, go way up because you have sugar in your coffee. But caffeine alone will not affect your blood sugar by itself.
catastrophegirl 1 year ago
you are correct that caffiene doesn't contain sugar (carbs) but it's my body and my measurements and observations so i do know what to expect from coffee. i drink my coffee without sugar but the affect on my blood sugar, as shown by my continuous glucose monitor implant, is the same as if i consumed 15 grams of carbohydrates. the studies i've read on it while trying to understand the affect indicate that caffiene affects how your body responds to insulin. it can temporarily increase insulin resistance a little bit. so no, it doesn't contain sugar but it does affect my blood sugar in a measurable way.

I've done something similar, though it was more about religion than language. My high school English Lit teacher always tried to make EVERYTHING about Christianity. That poem describing bright colors in a Stained glass window? OBVIOUSLY it's about a church and how beautiful religion is (no it was about a Caribbean man homesick for the colors of his country in dreary NYC). So for my final, we had to write a paper about a short story of our choosing and the themes within. I don't remember exactly which story it was but it was a satire making fun of different religions that would actually make a lovely SNL skit if it was ever adapted. Christianity was not depicted in the shining light she wanted it to be, and i made sure that was mentioned in my paper. She tried to fail me. I got her advanced teaching accreditation revoked and the auditer that had to go through all her grading schemes to make sure she graded them correctly gave me a 94/100.

Didn't care it was the middle of the night and I was alone. I was so tired of his games, that was totally worth it. Not sure i would do it again , but it was a victory that I needed.

My now ex-husband was on a work trip when I learned he knocked up his mistress. I made arrangements to move back in with my parents before he returned. My brother came over to help me move my stuff. Before we left, we unplugged the refrigerator and left an open can of tuna fish on one of the shelves. We live in the desert. It was July. The best part is, ex thought the refrigerator was broken and purchased a new one. Imagine his surprise when the delivery guys tell him the old refrigerator was unplugged.

When I was in high school, my dad had to deal with one of the worst landlords in our neighborhood. She would rent out a house, wait until my dad fixed it up, then give him six days to move out. Of course, my dear father, being an extremely conscientious (petty) person, believed in leaving a place exactly how you found it. Exactly. How. You. Found. It. And so he did. That meant holes in the plaster, peeling paint, exposed wiring. He even tore up the vegetable garden he planted and so meticulously watered and tended. Yes, having such a conscientious father is what makes life interesting.

Why do we reward petty behavior with this? Be the better person. A lot of this is just passive-aggressive BS because the person won't deal with it like an adult.

I agree with you. However, some jerks will not only continue to disregard boundaries, but take full advantage of those who take the high road, to the point of costing them their job, marriage, or residence.

Early in my career (this was the early 90's), we had a sales person who was the absolute worst. He was rude, crude, sexist, and harassed most of the female employees. He did not work in our office but came to visit often, and I would have to make his travel arrangements. He would tell me that he never flew less than business class, but first class was preferred. After one visit when he was particularly awful and had propositioned one VERY young intern and made her cry, I booked him the absolute cheapest travel possible with the longest layovers and seats in the back of the plane (this was before online booking so I had to call a travel agent to do this). He also never stayed in a nice hotel again or got anything other than a subcompact rental car for the rest of the time I worked there.

About half these seem like wishful thinking BS. Half the rest are psychopathic and not in a funny way.

Maybe so...but nobody said they had to be funny.... just petty.

One time my coworker took my tape dispenser without asking, so I set fire to his house.

Some of these, without context, sound unhinged. Like, you can't just say "I was going though a divorce" and then do some crazy s**t without saying the ex cheated or something. I'm assuming they're not the crazy ex but...

My uncle has high cholesterol; my mom was trying to quit sugar, and he damned well knew it. So when she got chocolates for Christmas, she sent him a cheesecake.

Once I dated a guy who was not sure he wanted me for s*x only or something more ( according to him). He benched me a lot. I eventually figured it out ( i was young, wanted to be loved, pls don't blame me). So once that he called me for a 'romantic night' at his place, I went, but as soon as I could see he was turned on, I stopped, placed my clothes back and left.
