30 Legends Who Took Their Pettiness To A Whole New Level

Context is the true master of human action or reaction. There are always parameters and circumstances onto which our decisions are made and you'd be surprised how well that "rule" fits and far it actually goes. It could be something entirely minor or perhaps hugely important to a given situation.

Revenge is itself a slave to the magic word of context, as is the word petty. Do you see where I'm going with this? Once context has done its job, like us, it sits back and laughs at lists like these, lists that in no particular order, show 30 examples of where pettiness is the ruler of all retaliatory emotion!

Grandma's Revenge[/post_page_title] As we age, we slow down in general. Biologically and mentally, this is often the case and one especially perceived by the younger members of society and more specifically, the family unit. WRONGLY! [caption id="attachment_4841" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Locked My Cat In The Bathroom While I Made A Meal Because He Was Being annoyed. Revenge Was Had[/post_page_title] This entry is double-barrelled and excellent.

[caption id="attachment_4844" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Lad At Work Just Eats Everyone’s Treats. Tomorrow Will Be A Surprise For Him[/post_page_title] This takes me back. When I was at university many, many, many moons ago, much of our fridge and freezer food would often go walkies with no discernable way of finding out where it had gone or who has taken it. Usually. After a while, we would wound out who and the games would begin... [caption id="attachment_4846" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]#12

Mad Wife![/post_page_title] Ah the relationship, if you were to pick one microcosm of society OUTSIDE OF ANYTHING TO DO WITH CARS then this very example of such a breeding ground of pettiness could foster a list of its own! [caption id="attachment_4852" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / DaveApnea[/caption] The effort this wife had to go to is nothing short of excellent and well and truly on the pettiness scale of legend. Its even infected music streaming services now! Our hubris will kill us all!

[post_page_title]#13

My Neighbor Got His Reindeer Decorations Stolen So They Put Out Grinch Ones Instead[/post_page_title] Again, this is less petty and more legendary! [caption id="attachment_4853" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]#14

Deserved Petty Revenge[/post_page_title] The family unit is another that could warrant its own list of pettiness extravaganzas - let's be honest now, you know it's true!

[post_page_title]#16

I Applaud This Level Of Petty[/post_page_title] Animal attacks are certifiably not fun in any way shape or form and neither are people's reactions to them. However, what is funny, for certain parties at least, is taking a trip down petty-lane for revenge. [caption id="attachment_4857" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / londonbreedann[/caption] Harsh? Check. Calculated? Check. Dastardly? Check. Petty? Hell yeah. One of the better examples on this list? ABSOLUTELY.

[post_page_title]#17

Joe Mode - Engage![/post_page_title] Another double-barreled petty-shotgun has been loaded and fired all over this list! Imagine being petty enough to complain to a company the size of Tesla, who sells lord-knows how many models to who knows how many people, only to get them to change a feature on just one of those models. Petty entitlement indeed. [caption id="attachment_4858" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]#21 Sonic Savagery[/post_page_title] This gets top marks for effort even if it was taken down. [caption id="attachment_4862" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Reddit / _NITRISS_[/caption] Especially as the initial and minorly petty yet humorous act (that probably increased trade) was then taken down and trumped by a further petty act, only then to be followed by the original perpetrators of own excellent pettiness once more. Confused?

My Daughter Said She Was Too Old For Notes In Her Lunch - My Reply And Win[/post_page_title] And we're back! The parental unit proves once again that they are perhaps some of the pettiest of the lot! [caption id="attachment_4863" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / adunkel2016[/caption] Again, another brilliant way in which entitlement can be brought down by the petty-way of doing things and prove to quite the hoot!

Slashed Someone's Tires Today Because He Parked Like A Jackass... Was It Justified? I Think So[/post_page_title] We're still in the world of automobiles and still possibly debating my whereabouts and whether this is, in fact, the same parking lot! But, we are also still scrolling through a cornucopia of pettiness because that is a worthy cause. Honestly. Any Guns N' Roses fans amongst us at all? Yes? Excellent. [caption id="attachment_4868" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Twitter / herbehancock[/caption] I laughed a lot. Admittedly, this one is a little harsh, but with the power context, we must laugh, accept it and move on to bigger things or rather petty things. Whatever.

[post_page_title]#28 Sweet, Sweet Accidental Community Revenge...[/post_page_title] We all strive to fit into a sense of goodness, wellness, and quite often community. Strangers are often the key to this, those chance interactions and actions that just symbiotically merge and create the best memories. Sometimes this involves being petty if you hadn't noticed. [caption id="attachment_4870" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Credit: Imgur / Unknown User[/caption] This, so much this, so completely unequivocally this! In this example, entitlement was again quashed in the parking lot as pettiness united strangers to achieve what is again, one of my favorites on this list of cleverness.
