Teamwork makes the dream work, that's why when you have a coworker who is all for one and nothing else, things don't tend to work out. There is nothing worse than having to go to work just to be stuck working with somebody you don't like and is rude to you. What do you do with a rude coworker? If you dish back the same energy, it will just make the workplace even more exhausting to be in. So what? You just ignore it? Reddit would suggest another route. A more satisfying route.
For instance, this Redditor posted about working at an arts festival back in 2018. The had a coworker who was extremely condescending to everyone else and to make it worse, was lazy. She wouldn't lift a finger all day, and then report back to upper management as if she did all the work. She would even passive aggressively put down her colleagues even though they did all the work and she did nothing.
So, an opportunity presented itself to the Reddit poster that they just had to take. The rude coworker used to leave her jacket and other belongings behind the merch table with them. So they would just, out of spite, tag their clothing with one of those annoying little plastic things from a tagger-gun. You know, the annoying plastic thing that holds the price tag? Yeah, so they would do that to her stuff. Every single day… Even after she removed it, they would just re-tag it. She didn't do any work, so she didn't even know that there was a price tagging gun in the facility. The Redditor heard her saying she felt like she was losing her mind, so they almost stopped the prank, but then they saw her yelling at an elderly coworker for no good reason, so they just kept doing the handy work that needed to be down aka make this rude rude person feel like they're losing their mind.
They regret nothing—read the entire story and some responses below!
