Of course, you have to be careful not to hurt anyone when you deliver payback, so petty revenge is sometimes the only option.
Obviously, if we were all emotionally mature enough to simply get over things and move on, weโd be a lot better off. Often, revenge only leads to a cycle of retaliation.
But it can also feel really rewarding.
While weโre not advocating revenge, we have gathered 60 of the best petty revenge photos from the web, showing just how low people can go after someone annoys them.
1. Revenge monkey
Both are annoying.
The person who made this sign is using it against the worst of the spammers:
โEvery time I get a spam fax at work I put the spammerโs number on a Free Monkey flyer and post it somewhere around town.โ


2. Tastebud terror
โLad at work just eats everyoneโs treats. Tomorrow will be a surprise for him.โ
Yes, it will! A really gross surprise โ and one that we would have loved to watch.
Seriously though, who steals peopleโs food!?


3. A permanent reminder
We really have no sympathy for cheaters (just break up already!), but this probably goes beyond petty since that tattoo will be a forever reminder of what he did.


4. A catโs revenge
Itโs impossible to discipline a cat and get off scot-free.
Clearly this feline does not care about the environment.


5. Petty cash
Seems like everybody wins here โ he gets his petty revenge and she gets her cash.


6. Sleeping soundly
Now the whole world knows just what he sounds like (and, finally, so does he!).


7. Petty thieves
We love it!
While itโs not exactly festive, it is embarassing to a person who totally deserves it!


8. Parking lot punk
When this obnoxious driver parked in 2 spots, a parking lot avenger decided to zip tie a shopping cart to his door handle.
At least now they have to face some inconvenience as well!


9. Bitter birthday
We doubt the town enjoyed that bad press.


10. Cyber revenge
ALWAYS be nice to the waitstaff.


11. Neighborly advice
And โ in this case โ a fine to go along with it.


12. The most bitter
This might be a bit big to be โpettyโ though. It was titled โBitter man buys the house next door to his ex-wife and installs an interesting sculpture.โ
That seems like a big investment for sweet, immature revenge.


13. Like a good neighborโฆ
We donโt know what the next move is here, but itโs either an admission and apology or a bird-eye view of obnoxious deor for eternity.
Sometimes itโs better to just apologize.


14. Petty vs. petty
We think they got the point across with the second sign as well.


15. Youโre welcome!
And to let him or her know, they spelled it out for them โ quite literally, with the hair.
Distusting and brilliant!


16. Let he who cast the first snowballโฆ
But do you think this guy played so dirty during the office snowball fight that he deserved this petty revenge afterward?
Probably.


17. Winning
โPettiness level 100,000,00โฆโฆ My husband was angry this morning so he decided he was only making his half of the bed.โ
Hey, thatโs still more than some husbands do.
The pettiness level on this one is cranked up to the max.


18. Made with spite
Not only was this guy reminded of the fight with his partner the night before while he was at work, but he also has to wonder if his food is jinxed.


19. In a jam
Now theyโre entitled and their BMW is covered in jam.
Bet that was fun to wash off!


20. Porch pirate poop
Itโs a giant bag of dog turds โ which is exactly what they deserve.


21. Mid-game mastermind
We donโt know what this guyโs roomate did, but weโre guessing heโs never going to do it again.


22. Petty from space
If you go on Google maps, youโll see exactly what he thinks about the jerk next door.


23. Peppered with Post-Its
After a friend toilet papered this OPs car, they decided to get them backโฆcolorfully.
That is A LOT of Post-Its to take off a car!


24. A chalk outline of a jerk
โIโve carried chalk in my car for 10 months just so I could do this once. Yesterday was the day.โ
We hope it was everything they dreamed it would be.
25. Beyond petty
Still, we have to know who these barbarians are that eat other peopleโs food at work. Thatโs next-level clueless.
Maybe they do deserve some cat food.


26. Petty purring
Always be careful when trying to get revenge against your cat.


27. Return to sender
โThis is 6 months worth of junk mail. I shoved all the contents into the prepaid envelopes and tomorrow Iโm mailing it all back at the junk mailers expense.โ
Again, aside from the senseless environmental impact, we are so down for pranking junk mailers.


28. Grandmaโs revenge
And weโre sure the kid LOVED making tons of noise with it.
Guess their parents will have some phone calls to make in the future.


29. A picture is worth a thousand words
Of course, you can always deny it was intentional.
Subtle, petty, brilliant.


30. Restful retribution
This cat has taken its enjoyment of the dogโs bed to the most gloriously petty level.
31. Extra, extra, read all about it
Not all publicity is good publicity.


32. Damning discount
Clearly they donโt know women very well.
Weโd say this waitress got the best revenge โ but probably not a great tip.


33. Childish delight
Is no one parking in the lines anymore these days? How hard is it?!


34. Take that, cat
How many times has your cat laid on your laptop or keyboard and made life inconvenient?
Weโre enjoying the look of annoyance on the catโs face โ especially since it can technically get up whenever it wants.


35. Table for none
Nice effort!
And threading his shoes through the frame is a great, and deeply inconvenient, touch too.


36. Thatโs a wrap
We wonder how long it takes to unwrap a whole car.


37. Youโre surrounded
Too bad this driver felt like the rules didnโt apply to them.
They deserved to get towed!


38. Always log out
Otherwise all of your friends will know what youโve done.


39. Petty pride
Trust us, no one wants to talk to a bigot like this in the bathroom anyway.
Get over it and get on with life.


40. El macho cabrรญo
We wonder how long it took this guy to get mad โ and then get revenge.


41. Hall pass hellion
We bet this teacher just gave him the hall pass from there on out.


42. Flex that ego
โJoined a gym, and was teased by my fit friends who workout there. Got my revenge.โ
Who teases people at the gym? Thatโs so low.
Do you think this was enough to embarrass these guys?
Sadly, if you take duckface gym selfies, your threshold for embarrassment is probably pretty high (and your self-awareness pretty low).


43. Enjoy your lunch
It wasnโt until he got to work that he realized heโd be hungry for the rest of the day.


44. Poo-etic justice
Donโt lock your dog in the car for extended periods of time.


45. Earthy reward
Sheesh, at least wait until the person is dead to bicker over money!


46. Put it in Joe Mode
We bet Joe uses his mode all the time!


47. Donโt forget to use a napkin
Just let her put a note in your lunch. You donโt even have to read it.


48. The breast revenge
This one got a taste of something special the next time they went to steal the Coffeemate.


49. Retaliatory return
This neighbor decided to do a good deed by picking some up โ and then decided to be petty by returning them to their owner.
Thatโs a nice big bag of something to think about!


50. Roaring repayment
Hey, theyโre just encouraging the arts!


51. Slithering settlement
But if you do and youโre fed up with it, putting their favorite game in with the snake theyโre terrified of is a great way to get petty revenge.


52. So tacky
Keep your hands to yourself if you donโt want to have to cover them in band-aids.


53. Just deserts
Guess sheโll be losing a bit more weight herself now that he has all the food.


54. Can it
Weโre not sure this kid is going to reduce his grounding sentence with this behavior, but he certainly got his petty revenge.
Then again, if you get grounded itโs usually because you did something wrong first.


55. Thatโs so average
So much for Pinterest being a sacred space.
Heaven forbid your cupcake look like a mere cupcake!


59. Password protected
Then again, maybe you should buy your own subscription.


57. Eat your words
But one woman was just tired of hearing her boyfriend say โI donโt knowโ every time she asked him, so she finally just gave him a big bowl of his own words to eat.


58. Precision pettiness
Even more petty would be the neighbors with the dirty side leaving it that way forever.


59. Vote for Wolkโฆor donโt
We kind of hope these people left it there until the end of the election.


60. Bartenderโs revenge
You really canโt expect to get the same service as people who treat their servers like people.
So enjoy your $25 Seagrams.
