Revenge is a dish best served petty. To pull a silly harmless little prank that makes everyone laugh AND serves as a cute little karma kick to an entitled target is a double whammy in our books. This person really hit a homerun with this petty revenge prank—and never got caught!

This employee had an incompetent and entitled nepo-baby boss. It's unfortunate but it happens often in our capitalistic society. There's little you can do aside from quit and try and find a decent place of employment. But sometimes that just isn't an option right away. You probably have bills to pay. So what do you do in that case? Well, this person had the most epic time under some unbearable management. Nobody liked this boss and one thing this boss was super annoying about was his kid. Now, this employee had nothing against a proud papa, but this guy was the worst. He even plastered a photo of his kid as the centerpiece for the office, so every employee AND customer had to look at him. So, being the tech-savvy employee this person was, they snuck the photo into a photo editing software and made some hilarious enhancements to the little guy. The boss never noticed and it stayed like that for everyone to see. Everyone seemed to look at it confused but never said anything. BRAVO!

    I made my manager's ugly baby uglier. Years ago, I worked for a large retail chain under your typical "promoted because he's one of the boys" manager. He didn't do much that actually needed doing in our department, and even foisted things like

    employee reviews, product resets and counts, etc off on me. He mostly hung out shooting the with his buddies and chatting with customers, although he didn't sell much because he always tried to push everyone towards the highest-end product even if a more moderate one would suit the customers better. The

    company rewarded him with prizes like trips and gadgets for our high sales. Sales that I largely made, with a team I trained. And then he would brag about all the cool stuff he got. I didn't like him much.

    One thing he loved talking about constantly was his baby, maybe nine months old. He even made a picture of the little tyke the wallpaper on our display computer. I get being a proud papa, but on top of me already being annoyed with him for being a boss, his baby was weird looking.

    Nothing was wrong with the baby health-wise, but it was bug-eyed and big-headed like its daddy. This was especially highlighted because babies are already naturally a little like that, and this kid was like if Megamind cked a pug. And I had to look at a picture of it all day, and all the customers saw it.
    via u/DoubleDandelion

    So I went into a photo editing software and increased the size of the kid's eyes by about another 10%. Not enough for daddy to notice, but enough that it was startling if you were seeing the picture for the first time. Uncanny valley vibes.

    People would subtly react when bossman showed them the picture and talk about the kid. Like they wanted to say something, but absolutely knew they should not. It was small, it was petty, and I still giggle about it years later. Hopefully the kid grew up to look like mama.

    Bobbyc1982 4 days ago To get revenge on a manager I hated a friend and I took a photo off her desk photo copied it then cut the little photocopied face and made copies of that and glued the tiny faces everywhere. On other people's pictures on their desks. On the clock hands. Everywhere. Only two people noticed probably still some there somewhere.

    duck-duck--grayduck 4 days ago I did something similar but with stick-on googly eyes, but it wasn't revenge, it was just to be funny because I knew my victim would find it funny. So for a while random things in my mother-in- law's house had googly eyes. Milk cartons, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, fireplace poker, garlic keeper, the stove. Just random

    house things. The original intention was to escalate with steadily increasingly large googly eyes on increasingly large objects and ending up with a gigantic pair on the front doors of the house, but I lost interest and at this point it's been too long. She moved and still found something with googly eyes she hadn't noticed before.

    surface_ripened 4 days ago Had a coworker who used to leave themself logged into their Gmail on a public work PC we all shared A LOT. One night while it was quiet I became irrationally annoyed at this, downloaded their profile picture and not terribly subtley shooped em a unibrow. Re- uploaded it and for all I know it's still their profile picture, cause ludds be like that. Love those subtle pranks so much XD

    TheRegularWazoo 4 days ago That reminds me of a local election a few years ago, there were signs with the people running on them and one of them in particular struck me as a bit off-putting and couldn't really put my finger on it. Days later I

    realized someone had very carefully put white-out on the white parts of his eyes so that it was just a little too white. The sign stayed up for almost a week before anybody noticed and took it down, it was genius and I still laugh about it

    Justcruisingthrulife. 4 days ago Good one. At a place I worked at one guy (Big boy TeeJay) had a picture taken in the local newspaper, answering a reporters question on the street. The managers son who also worked there took a copy of the newspaper picture and morphed him into a baby sitting in a pram

    wife and they used to make fun of him for it, so my friend scanned the picture of the two of them from his desk, and every week digitally aged him a little more in Photoshop and then replaced the picture. He was in his late 30s and probably looked about 70 before he noticed.

He issed me off one day and I knew that he was terrible with computers and electronics, so I logged into his computer (his log in password was of course password) and changed the desktop

    background to a zoomed in image of a dog taking a huge poo. It stayed that way for months and month, till I changed it to a scene from "Curb your enthusiasm" where Larry is feigning being hit by a car. I did this cause he ran a guy over in the service entrance with a truck. That's a fun story for another day lol. All parties were fine, just minor injuries.
