Playground logic persists in adulthood in many ways. There's always a king of the hill, some kid with glasses getting annihilated on the dodgeball court, and a snarky class clown running around screaming 'nana-nana-boo-boo'! When you're at odds with another 'kid' on the blacktop, the mature thing to do is walk away and let it go. But in a world that's not so different from Lord of the Flies, sometimes the only way to get proper payback is to stoop down to your bully's level– which is exactly what u/leditstuffforfun and their buddy did recently on an online sales platform. 

After reaching out to a seller regarding a coveted video game (Dark Souls) that they had listed on their sales page, OP was baffled when the seller replied with disdain and rude remarks. Annoyed that the seller was acting childish towards them, OP and their friend plotted a perfect way to get back at the sassy seller– by hitting him right in the collector's box. 

Keep reading to learn how a buyer with an attitude got a taste of his own medicine after messing with the wrong kids on the playground. Next on the agenda, here's a story of another version of petty revenge, where a delivery guy gets payback against his micromanaging boss.

    r/pettyrevenge - 18 hr. ago leditstuffforfun My friend did the most petty revenge thing for no reason My best friend recently told me how there was a used videogame (Dark Souls) someone was selling on the facebook market place. My friend messaged this guy and asked him if he wanted to sell it to him, the guy said no in a pretty way.

    My friend then stalks this guy and finds out that he desperately wants to buy a book from another seller. This book is pretty rare and the guy seemed like he wanted it super bad, he even commented jokingly on the post saying "if you sell this to anyone else i'll find you and egg your house".

    In a stroke of genius, my friend buys the book at double price even though the other guy already wanted it. My friend then sends a picture of the book to the guy and says "still dont want to sell me dark souls?" and the guy gets I off. the end

    Ucyless 17h ago Can we get some context on why the dude wasn't willing to sell your friend the game? Other than that, this is pretty funny Reply leditstuffforfun OP 14h ago honestly that's the weirdest part, the conversation they had was basically "hey can i buy this off of you?" and the guy just goes off on him, i think he might've been having a bad day 63 Share

    Son_of_Leatherneck 16h ago Offered to trade the book for the game plus the original price of the book. Or some other combination that would get you the game for no cost. Either that or agree to a trade, then no show and then ghost.

    Grouchy-Ad4338 · 18h ago Good one. Not sure that how does the economics works here since I am sure that the book and the game won't be priced at same level. But may be your friend could have traded in the book for the game at more than what he got the book for. I am sure book would have been a lot rarer than the guy. So he could have rubbed his face in the dirt and got the game too. That would have been a win win.
