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!

Awesome Mom
Let's see if I can increase my downvotes. So 4 men ask for directions. Nothing about them being rude. And they are vindictively sent miles out of their way. Again Pandas think this is great. Did you ask for help? Do you want men to assume you are incapable and treat you differently? Do men owe you help? You are cheering vindictive petty revenge on people who did nothing wrong.
Forget about gender stereotypes. You're driving along and see someone broken down by the side of the road. You stop to ask for directions. Least you can do out of politeness is to ask if they're OK. It's not about men 'owing' help to women, it's about being considerate to other human beings who may have something more on their minds than where the nearest golf course may be.

They existed, and even worse, they asked a question. It's serious problem if a grown adult is struggling with a flat tire. And then they blame other people for not offering to help. That is selfishness.

I'm torn. I love her revenge but at the same time, did they ask for help? Men are told not to push themselves towards women and if they had asked, how were they to know if it would offend the women? I do thoroughly believe the men were being selfish but there is another possible side to this.
How were the men selfish? One grown adult can change a car tire. Four more people can't help with such a simple task. If they needed a jump start and the guys drove off, that would be selfish. It's selfish to expect help when you don't need it.

Once I was on the side of the road with a flat tire. I had no idea how to change it. I put my emergency flashers on and called for roadside service which would take an hour or more to get there. Many people drove by me, for at least 15 minutes, without stopping to see if I might need help, even, almost hitting me while I was on the side of the road Well you know who stopped to help me ? A woman with a truck. She stopped and said I can help you and I will be right back. She came back in 5 minutes. She got out and she freaking changed my tire like it was nothing. When she was almost finished a cop drive up and asked if he could help. She said no and he said ok and directed the traffic to not get so close to my car. I will never forget that lady. Just a side story. A little kindness goes a long way.
Being a woman or being pregnant doesnt mean one owes you help. I dont get why this c**p is 1st on the list
Nobody is saying help was “owed”. Consideration, compassion, and/or courtesy is supposed to be the norm, rather than the exception.

The topic is about petty revenge and people are annoyed because the subject enacted petty revenge? Does anyone read the subject heading of these threads before commenting? It's Petty Revenge. So yeah. Doh. And off I go, my eyes rolling expecting the downvotes for pointing out the obvious. Personally I'd have sent those golfers to the nearest garbage dump.
It isn't petty though, and revenge happens when someone wrongs you I don't think they deliberately did anything wrong. Being ignorant isn't the same as being maliciously rude.

Opposite of Tire Change Story: 20 years ago, I was struggling changing my nephew’s diaper on the hood of a car (I was inexperienced at this and doing a good deed helping my brother). A group of birthday party seeking women asked me for directions to a different park than the one I was at. I gave them good directions, but none of them offered to help me. According to the OP, I handled the situation incorrectly, since no petty revenge.
Weirdly, I, a woman, have stopped to help people many times. These guys were mildly put out.
Or, they would have risked missing their reserved tee time, and losing their golf outing.

Maybe she could try to ask them for help. Men sometimes think a little slower 😀
I've was suspended because of my previous comment about the mom and I didn't mean it to sound .. like it did. I'll never forget many years ago I found myself on a lonely stretch of interstate with a flat tire. there were no cell phones then, no emergency call boxes like on some highways, the nearest exit was at least 5 miles away and no guarantee there were any services or even payphones there. now I know how to change a tire my only concern was whether I could get the lug nuts off because you know mechanics use a tool to tighten them nice and tight. I'm also in hotel uniform: skirt, jacket, blouse, tie, hose and dress shoes. I'm attempting to climb into the trunk of my 4 door sedan to get 2 the spare tire. I'll never forget the nice man who pulled over and stopped and helped me change the tire. I offered him The few bucks I had on me, but he refused it... I shook his hand and thanked him and off he went without my even knowing his name. I'll always remember that and I've tried to pay it forward since then. now there's cell phones and if you see someone broken down they're very often on their cell phone so you know they're calling for help but if I don't see them on a cell phone I will pull over or at least slow down and signal to them if they're OK, they give me the thumbs up, I'm on my way. now I don't know if I can be of any real mechanical help but I could call for help I can make sure they're OK I could do whatever I can to help a stranded motorist. And it struck me as mean that the golfers were more interested in directions than helping a stranded motorist.
This is unfair, they made a reasonable request, and they could have been in a rush
I had a guy ask me how much I had one me, when I said nothing he drove off and highway patrol wouldn’t come cause I didn’t know what mile marker I was at..
Is it bad that I’m not even surprised that they didn’t help? Heard about men like this a lot. Only care about them self.
Just to inform you, not only men do this, all people can be like that and we don't even know if she asked for help! They could've just expected help but the men could've thought it would look out sound disrespectful, don't instantly judge, it's rude to put every male in that category. If I found myself in this situation I would be super conflicted because I wouldn't know whether it would be rude to ask them if they needed help. The feed that you're saying men only care about themselves is kinda concerning because this can apply to everyone yet you say specifically men!?! Very rude in my opinion 😡

My wife helped push our broken-down car up the road while she was pregnant. Just me and her. Two adults. There weren't four men behind us.
Not everyone experiences pregnancy the same. My 2 couldn't be more different. My first one, I almost gave birth at 6 months and was told no heavy lifting for the remainder of my pregnancy. The second one was a breeze.

They should have just asked the men for help. Life is too short to be deliberately cruel.
After also reading replies below, this one is a tough call. A true gentleman would offer to change the tire first, then ask for directions. But then with todays uneducated genpop, those guys probably don't know how to change a tire but still could've done the muscle work for them. In the end, I side with the women. That's just my upbringing.
I was at the market and an elderly gent was clearly struggling to put the bags in his trunk. I walked over and asked him if I could give him a hand... I could tell he was from my grandfather's generation of not asking for help. He thanked me profusely, but seemed a little sad about needing help.
Same thing on a small entrance triangle to NYC's cross Bronx expressway. Husband was trying to wire up a collapsing muffler as cars and trucks whizzed by a few feet away. I stayed in the car and said later to him, "They were nice to offer help." about two guys who had stopped behind us. His reply, "Help hell, they stopped to ask directions with me half beneath the car!" I understand no revenge other than a few quaint NJ epithets was doled out This was years ago. I hope the boneheads' ears are still smoking!
As a man I believe that a woman should know how to change a tire...but should never have to.
I don't think you deserve a down vote for that...I was raised by a single mom who taught me how to fix damned near everything.. If I'm with my husband, he would change the tire even though I know how to. Not to disparage me, but he thinks that's being kind.

I will never understand people like this. If you need help, ask for it. But don't get mad at other people for being unable to read your mind.
100% this SHOULD be the number 1 comment. But the longer I read from this site, the further I realize it's all about jumping on the bandwagon, and most of the people here have zero to little life experience at all. I pulled over to help somebody one time, crawling across the street drunk. He grabbed my legs and pulled me down, as his friends came running out. I was only saved by my friend driving the car we were in, who screeched up and hit one person with their bumper, causing them to run far enough away for me to jump up and get my car. It's just not always a good idea to help a random stranger in the dark place in the middle of nowhere. We don't know the context of any of this.

Golfers. Yeah. I'm married to one although I sincerely believe he and his friends would have changed the tire. But overall, Golfers. Yeah.
Why are we assuming that the four men were born with the knowledge of changing a tire? Some of us don't get that taught to us by our wonderful, supposedly, fathers. They could have screwed the whole thing up, the ladies could have thought that they had been helped and drove away, only to have the wheel come off the axle and then drive off the road over a bridge. If they didn't know how to use navigation, I would assume they didn't know how to do basically anything, so maybe just relax on the quick assumption that these four guys were jerks, and these two damsels in distress we're not saved from the dragon....
Well done....only dickheads spoil a walk with a game of golf...and dress like dickheads aswell

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.

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.”

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."

So I had a crush in school, and when she found out she immediately hated me. She moved her desk to be farther from me.

I soon got over the crush after realizing she’s a b***h. Next year, she starts dating her sister’s ex, who is your typical “bad boy.” They start throwing popcorn at me in the bleachers at homecoming activities, then looking away and making rude comments about my hair. I send my (sorta) friend to cut bf’s hair, but that was an epic fail.

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."

Had some annoying JW’s who’d come around and knock on doors. I got tired of having to pretend I wasn’t home and opened the door once having made up my face with a lot of black eyeliner and fake blood and blasting screaming death metal. They haven’t come back since.
You had time to do all that before answering the door?

Why revenge on the other woman and not the husband?

Will Cable, sounds to me like you need a very large mirror in your window.

WTH! Don't understand why anyone would down vote you, here's an upvote.

So I had a crush in school, and when she found out she immediately hated me. She moved her desk to be farther from me. She ripped the valentine I gave her, a madlibs, which was the same as everyone’s that year (My friend responded with “aww, that’s too bad, madlibs are fun”). I soon got over the crush after realizing she’s a b***h. Next year, she starts dating her sister’s ex, who is your typical “bad boy.” They start throwing popcorn at me in the bleachers at homecoming activities, then looking away and making rude comments about my hair. I send my (sorta) friend to cut bf’s hair, but that was an epic fail. Later the two were under the bleachers and I come from above with popcorn from a lemonade stand I ran the weekend before I had brought as a snack, and dumped it on their heads. That night I came back for the football game and when we left I went over to the general area they were in and shouted “anyone like popcorn?”
