Have you ever met someone whoโs petty? You know, the kind of person who takes a lot of things literally and way further than they should go? Well, youโre not alone. Many individuals do this.
While itโs shameful, their antics are also funny as proven by these 48 examples. The things they do are so ridiculous that these people belong in the Petty Hall of Fame.
1. The proof is in the receipts
Uh oh, someoneโs in trouble. With printed receipts, this woman was proving what she charged to her boyfriendโs credit card. Or sheโs showing him that she was where she said she was on a particular day in question.

2. Serious or petty?
This sign shows how serious the restaurant owner takes Yelp reviews. Okay, so maybe heโs on the petty side. Regardless, we hope it helped him sell more meatball sandwiches.

Next time, help your wife with the laundry when she asks. Weโre pretty sure she insisted he take the clothes off the line. Hmmmโฆwonder how he explained this to the neighbors.

4. Making a statement
This woman knew exactly how to annoy her British boyfriend. Yes, it worked. But in making her point, she ruined a cup of hot tea.

5. Be more specific
Sibling rivalry is alive and well. At least in this household. The next time this guyโs little brother wants to know if he can have half of the grapes, heโll be more specific.

6. Revenge at its finest
This was probably the last time someone stole this personโs lunch. If thereโs one thing you donโt mess with, itโs food. Petty, yesโฆgreat revenge, yes.

7. Wrong side of the bed
After getting into a tiff with his wife, the husband decided to make only his side of the bed. We have a question. Which side was his?

8. Valuable time
Doctorโs arenโt the only ones whose time is valuable. Just ask this toddler. And heโll let you know in the best passive-aggressive way possible.

9. Motherโs milk
Hey, hereโs an idea. Perhaps this person can have lunch with the individual who stole the guyโs lunch. Burritos and milk go great together.

10. Really bad call
If someone goes to the effort to write an apology letter, just accept it. Grading itโฆbad ideaโฆespecially in red ink. More than likely, the author retracted his apology. Canโt blame him.

11. Pit party
Do you know whatโs even more annoying than someone stealing your lunch? Potholes. This one has existed for so many years that the neighbors decided to throw it a birthday party.

Twitter@TBHer
12. It couldโve been worse
Yes, this person did a horrible job parking. They should be thankful that someone didnโt key their car instead of doing this. Just curiousโฆdoes the individual who left this message drive around with chalk in their vehicle?

13. Not again
Who goes around vibe-checking people, especially family members? Weโd love to know what kind of โenergyโ this aunt gives off. Oh, and what did she do the other Thanksgiving meals?

Twitter@cal_gif
14. Seriously?
What did 7-11 stores ever do to this man? It mustโve been super bad. After all, he opened a store nearby called โ6-12.โ

Twitter@sheikhimaan
15. Something isnโt right
How can you tell if a dinner host likes you? Well, at one house, just take a sip of your beverage. If it tastes funny, itโs because they made ice out of hot dog water, which they serve to guests they donโt care for.

16. Youโve been unfriended
Instead of having an adult conversation, this individual takes a different approach when unfriending people. She cuts their heads offโฆin photos. Good grief โ sheโs a grown woman.

Twitter@DancesWithTamis
17. Keep the change
Thereโs one thing guys should never do. Break up with a girlfriend right before the prom. This dude wanted his ex to pay him back for what heโd spent on the danceโฆshe didโฆin pennies.

18. Attention, please
Not only is this teen petty but also a spoiled brat. Maybe in time, sheโll realize something. The world doesnโt revolve around her.

Twitter@coolgrandma98
19. She dodged a bullet
The purpose of dating is to see if two people are compatible. But when a gal told the guy she went out with theyโd make better friends, he sent her this. Thatโs right, he wanted her to refund him the cost of her grilled cheese.

20. No fish policy
Talk about being petty. In this office, you can have fish but only the cracker type. All other species are off-limits.

21. Itโs the little things
Perhaps this barista should consider a different career. She has some kind of vendetta against teens. Every time they order something, she puts the label on the siren logo.

22. Nopeโฆnot having it
This is the text message one guy responded with when several of his classmates wanted a copy of his notes. You see, they were too lazy to pay attention in class. It might be petty but well-deserved.

23. The truth hurts
These employees were just telling the truth. It seems management didnโt find it funny. Lighten up, man.

24. โWeโre out of hereโ
That wasnโt very nice. Thereโs a good chance these customers have never worked in the restaurant business. If they had, theyโd understand that servers canโt make food magically appear in five minutes.

25. Time for payback
For several months, a tenant asked the landlord to fix a number of broken things. But they didnโt. So, the individual paid their rent in $1 bills.

Twitter@heyqueenregina
29. Just for fun
Come on, you know you thought of this too. Removing just one grain. By the time the individual recounts all the rice, the food will be moldy and inedible.

30. Someone has too much time on their hands
Considering the amount of time that it takes to do this, the guy couldโve accomplished so many things. Who knows, he mightโve even found the answer to world peace. Okay, probably notโฆbut still.

Twitter@thedad
31. Thank you very much
Isnโt it nice when someone can whip out a piece of chalk to solve a problem? Thatโs what this person did. Note the tone of sarcasm here.

32. Good boy
Hey, heโs just helping out the marketing team. Sure, this pupโs owner didnโt have to take a photo. But then weโd all miss out on a good laugh.

34. Welcome to the neighborhood
After moving in, it didnโt take long for one family to learn a lot about their new neighbors. Theyโre petty. Just use their side of the stairs.

35. Poor execution
Hereโs some advice. If youโre going to post fliers like this around town, donโt list your real phone number. What started out as a petty joke quickly turned into a disaster for one person.

36. Sweet, gooey, and delicious
Whatโs with everyone stealing peopleโs food? And why not just talk to the person whoโs doing it? Nahโฆthat would be too civil and easy.

37. ROFL
We donโt know if these individuals are neighbors or roommates. But it doesnโt really matter. All we know is that itโs fun watching them battle with Wi-Fi names.

38. Subliminal message
Well, itโs actually quite blatant. Someone felt they had bragging rights after beating a friend in Mario Bros. So incredibly petty.

39. Has to one-up them
What were they thinking? We hate to inform this company but that doesnโt help them in search engine results. Good try, though.

Twitter@torahhorse
40. Frowny face
And if you were wondering, yes, thatโs someoneโs hair. Again, why couldnโt this person just ask their roommate nicely to remove their hair from the bathtub? You have to admitโฆthis is pretty creative.

41. Point madeโฆ
โฆalthough probably not well-received. Especially if whatever they used to write on the siding doesnโt come off. Something so petty could lead to some serious tension among neighbors.

43. Hidden meaning

45. He needs therapy
After getting mad at his mom, this is what her son did. Perhaps therapy might help. But remember, the apple doesnโt fall far from the tree so weโre guessing that being petty runs in the family.

Twitter@VictorPopeJr
46. Was she worth it?
It sure seems so. But if a girl does something like this to a person she supposedly loves, you have to question that. We have a feeling thereโs more to this story. Letโs hope he didnโt pour the whiskey down the drain.

Twitter@RoeGhost
47. Youโre grounded
Good thing this guy is too old for his mom to ground him. But if she couldโฆyeah, heโd be in some serious trouble. The girlโฆway too petty. In relationship fights, moms are off-limits.

48. And the winner of the Petty Hall of Fame award isโฆ
