Going to work has many advantages (you get to… live) but unfortunately, it also has its disadvantages, like dealing with obnoxious colleagues. It's not something you look forward to, but you don't always have much choice in the matter. BUT. Fear not, because if people really test you, there is always petty revenge to look forward to. It is always possible to find a way to get back at them. When you know your workplace from the inside out, you can easily make their lives inconvenient. 

  

We think it's totally fair… some people just need to be taught a proper lesson. They made their beds, and now they gotta lie in them. Don't be shy, they deserve it. While scouring the 'Petty Revenge' subreddit, we happened upon a tale as old as time — one man took it upon himself to get one of his detestable colleagues back for being a total jerk. This AH didn't respond to polite requests to stop his AH-lorey, so the poster took action. Scroll down to check it out.

He didn't respond to polite requests to stop so I disabled his access pass but only on the second door, which is closest to his desk. He'd walk through the meeting room, get 6 feet from his desk, and be declined by

    Font - the door. This caused him to have to walk back to me to ask if something was wrong with his access. I'd ask him to close the shortcut door he'd opened (alarm now sounding) and he always did, then I'd act confused and say "why don't you try it on that other door over there?" and direct him to the proper entrance to the office area,

    Font - mate. Who knows how these systems work?" Sometimes he would forget his personal pass and I'd issue him a visitor pass and disable that on his shortcut too, which added an extra layer of obfuscation.
