‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

There is no such thing as a 'green thumb'… Tending to a garden takes a lot of effort and knowledge, and if you don't put both in, it will show. Now, imagine you were a greenhouse know-it-all who brought home a pot of herbs you had carefully cultivated throughout the months, and then your landlady ripped them all out because she liked the pot you put it in. If that sounds a little too specific, that is because it is. The OP shared on r/pettyrevenge the story of the summer that her landlady did exactly that.

What this landlady was unaware of, was that OP was a plant pathology assistant who knew her way around a garden. OP knew that her landlady was head over heels for her rose garden, and when OP got an opportunity to use her knowledge to her advantage in order to enact some sweet revenge, you can bet she took it.

To find out what that payback entailed, you can scroll down for the screenshots, and then check out this veteran who led the rest of the company's employees down a petty path of malicious compliance against his boss.
