Generally speaking, fantasizing about taking an eye for an eye—getting revenge on someone who was being a jerk—is human nature. But often acting vengefully remains just that, a scenario in our mind. Our moral compass combined with the fear of further escalation keeps most of us in check. Most, but not all.
Revenge is a powerful emotional trigger that can actually mobilize some people into action. So we at Bored Panda decided to take a look at the ways it manifests in our everyday lives. Digging around the internet, we found many petty acts that people resort to in an attempt to restore justice. Like pouring water in front of the dishwasher to make your husband try to fix it even though the thing is perfectly fine. Continue scrolling to check out what we've gathered and fire up our older publications on the topic here and here. Enjoy!

Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn
For those who aren’t yet familiar with the term, the Oxford Dictionary defines pettiness as “undue concern with trivial matters, especially of a small-minded or spiteful nature.”
Additionally, pettiness can be more subtle than classic revenge. A 2009 social experiment conducted at Harvard and the University of Virginia gathered groups of people to play a financial game.
In each group, one experimenter was placed specifically to cheat so that the other people playing would notice. The scientists discovered that when given the opportunity for a no-fault chance at revenge, everyone playing who was cheated took a chance at it.
Meaning everybody was angry over what happened to them, and everyone given the opportunity for revenge took it.

Revenge Is A Dish Best Not Served
I Would Have Done The Same
Danny Greeves, a UK-based physiotherapist and behavioral change coach specializing in resolving resentment, said that revenge and pettiness are common aspects in our interpersonal relationships because they both trigger the law of obligation.
This is also known as reciprocity, which is the practice of exchanging things for mutual benefit. "Reciprocity is one of the universal principles which creates automatic, unconscious responses. It is the principle of mutual exchange," he explained, adding that in our evolutionary past, reciprocity was a vital principle because we relied on other people to assist us through fair exchange in order to do tasks and get basic human needs met.

texting his mom is the perfect way to teach that guy some respect
I think this situation is a lot more serious than "manners." Attitudes like these in young boys translate to action later on. Sure, it could just be a mean insult. Possible. But it could also be a real, budding, rapist in future. Either way, therapy and exploring these motives is essential.

I don’t know who this poster is but WTF? Rape threats? There is no excuse at all for that, but what even is the context for these posts? The poster could quite possibly be the worst human in the world and still there would be no justification.
I think the kid spends too much time on the internet. He learned this somewhere. Little boys don’t come up with this insult on their own.

had the same thing happen, i was about19, and this girl told me she was 18 and we were "friends" but then she started sending me "dirty" stuff, and "rp" sexing me, i would delete it, cause i didn't care, i was young and stiped, and very gay with a boyfriend, then she started telling me real life stuff and sending pics, i deleted them told her cut it out, she got upset told me she was 16, i cut everything off, saved what i did had and emailed her mom, Her mom then emailed me that she would call FBI on me, I told her now that if she wasn't going to do anything I was going to the cops over this, Inturn this actually saved me, since my bf at the time kept a cam of the outside and she was stalking me, its been like 20 years but they sided with me, and she is still not allowed in the same state as me and had to move, Sometimes the parents don't belive you, if anyone, underage or not sends you a picture or text that's like this, GO TO THE COPs
I'm not saying this had anything to do with it, but I'm Japanese, and she had it in her head that since i am Japanese that it was ok since the consent age for Japanese is "13" so everything was ok, and she lost everything when she decided that was her case of "why it was ok to do that" and with me, they have probably seen my past and thought "this poor ret@rd", But This could have gone so so much worse than just a restraining order {my life s*cks}

Men would soon wind their *necks*? in if every díck pic or threatening/misogynistic comment was sent right back to their moms.
Maybe if parents in these instances can come to comprehend that their children aren't "angels," and that horrible fixations - rape, violence, even pedophilia, ALL start with fixations in 12 and 13 year old boys. If only we could get parents to recognize, and address these issues (which takes massive courage - a mom's courage) we can begin to see abuse and toxic masculinity as a thing of the past.
Why are some boys like this? Clearly not parenting problems judging by the mothers reaction. I'm inclined to believe it's the fsult of social media.
It's an underlying component of western society. Way beyond a mother or social media.

Damn straight. She will put the fear of god and slippers into that little POS.
one time these guys were sending photos/videos of d1sm3mb3rd body’s and murd3r in a group chat so i screenshoted them and sent them to their mother…i think someone else called the police too. karmas a b***h
If i (male) ever have a son and get to know he does things like that i'd slap his face until his mom couldn't identify him.
It’s about time the younger generation learn the hard way that things you write behind the keyboard has consequences as well.
Young boys? Let me grown son say something like this and think I won't be all over it. Tell on ALL the boys lol

“Sometimes young boys on facebook send me rape threats” ?!?! Wtf is this society dude
Someone my son knew sent him a message threatening to rape me. He showed me ( he was only 11/12 at the time ). I called the school, the school called his parents and I also called the police. I knew nothing serious would come from it but I wanted to let him know saying s**t like that isn't cool.
My friend had some guy she knew texting her unsolicited D pics. She told him if he didn't stop, she was going to post them and tag his girlfriend in them. He stopped, lol
I had an old college friend pull something on me like that last year, and my biggest regret was not getting a screenshot to send to his wife.
I'm sorry op has received these sorts of messages on more than one occasion. Thankfully she's managing and handling the situation very well

Speaking plainly, when someone does something for us, we feel an obligation to return the favor.
"The pull of returning the action performed towards us is so strong because it has been crucial to our evolutionary progress," Greeves said.
This part of our nature is actually the reason why we feel rude when we don't say thank you, mean when we don't offer something we could share, or guilty when we don't do something we’re supposed to.

However, a paper published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that petty behaviors made people seem less likable, even when the actions clearly benefitted others.
"Being precise isn't always a good thing for the quality of relationships," said study co-author Tami Kim, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. “Sometimes, leaving a little room for error might be a good idea.”

Neighbor came to me and asked me to clean it up and I asked him to clean up after his dogs.... He never did and I didn't clean up after my kid. Few months later, neighbors were fined and arrested for operating a puppy mill.

I don't know if this is true, but this story went around the internet years ago. A man cheated on his wife, so they got a divorce. The man lawyered up and got the house, while the wife was left with practically nothing except for some alimony. Before she moved out, she stuffed tuna fish into all of the curtain rods. I think she went to live with her mom or something. The mistress moved in with the man, and they started to notice a terrible smell. They hired professional cleaners, but nothing worked. Eventually, they tried to sell the house just to get away from the smell, but nobody wanted the stinky house. They dropped the price lower and lower, and eventually the wife bought it for very little. When she moved back in, she threw away the curtain rods, and the smell went away. Meanwhile, the husband had to continue paying alimony, which left him and his mistress basically broke.
A plumber I know was working on a sorority house owned by a university. The sorority girls didn't like the construction crew waking them up at 7 am to start work everyday, even though that's when the uni demanded they start work. One of the sorority girls seduced the plumber's apprentice, then falsely claimed the r word on him. He was exonerated of the false report, but everyday, under the guise of "helping" the hvac guys, the plumbing foreman brought a big tin of sardines for lunch, and left the tin, full of sardine juice, hidden in the tin work in every single air return vent in the house. The smell of the house, to this day, is rather "unique."
