Best way to get back at your boss? Give them a fake gift!

Apparently, that's the lesson learned after this Redditor got some much needed petty revenge on her manipulative and problematic employer. First off, let's start with some background on this guy. He forced OP to work 13-hour shifts with no OT while feeding that whole "paying your dues" narrative. Additionally, he would have outbursts, both verbal and physical in the workplace. However, at the same time, he kept pestering OP to get him free concert tickets, since her partner receives deals all the time through his volunteer work.

Well, before she chose to leave her job for good, she decided it was time to gift her boss with those free tickets, except there was a caveat. She claimed she had to get him tickets in another city, which he accepted, but it gets worse. She altered the QR code enough so that the ticket number would not be read. She also knew that her boss would not have enough information to solve the issue on the fly, since he didn't even know her husband's full name and the tickets were under him.
