‘I left his office and laughed’: Employee gets back at micromanager by signing him up for hundreds of mailing lists

There is something about those extremely sophisticated petty revenge stories, that are just so satisfying to read. Because really, all you need in order to get back at someone is just a bit of creativity and courage, and you can get away with the funniest little tricks.

Here is the perfect example of one. This employee told Reddit about how they got back at an unreasonable boss who kept giving employees bad reviews for no reason. Instead of causing a scene, or threatening to quit, OP came up with a petty revenge that would keep them in the clear but will give them enough satisfaction. OP decided to sign up to countless websites and email chains using the boss' email address and then watched as bossman got more and more frustrated by the amount of spam mail he would receive. As I said, the perfect little petty revenge.
