This person realized that it's never too late to get petty with a bad boss. In fact, sometimes waiting to reveal your hand can make things worse for that person! 

Cheating on your spouse seems like a stressful facade to keep up with. From the first moment this boss started dating his employee, he had both cheated on his wife and probably broke some workplace rules about manager and employee relations. Now that boss has to wait around for the rest of his life, hoping his wife doesn't find out and hoping his employer doesn't find out and hoping that his employee GF remains happy and doesn't rat him out. All of that just can't be worth the constant strife, but that doesn't seem to stop cheaters from cheating. 

This person was just a witness to all of the cheating. They truly tried to keep their head down and let their boss and colleague do what they had to do, but seeing as they were literally taking hours each day for their affair and getting this worker in trouble, it's no wonder u/NALORpod was steaming mad about the whole thing.

Up next, these people explained what it's like to be around their out-of-touch wealthy friends, like one woman who encouraged a commercial flight to hurry up by telling another passenger, "Go have a word with the captain… Tell him who you are."

    Ruined my marriage bosses So I hope this fits here. It felt like pro revenge but in hindsight. It's quite petty.

    About 10 years ago when I was 19 I worked for a regional grocery store in the meat packing department. Pay was bad and I had second shift. I came in at 3 and left at 11. It wasn't a terrible job all things considered. I had the meat room to my self so I could listen to music and really just not be annoyed by other employees. My duties when I showed up was to package more ground beef and other beef based products and put them on

Everything was fine at the begining but I found when I would clock in the lady behind the counter. We'll call her V. Wouldn't be there and there would be a line. So I would clock in. Spend

    the first 30 minutes of my shift doing her job. No problem I actually liked that position. Well after the line was done I would almost always see Mr Boss staring me down angry I'm not doing "my" job. He would give me the rant about "doing my duties unless customers needed my help" and they almost always did but he wouldn't listen.

    Come to find out. The reason V isn't behind the counter is because her and Mr Boss are having... "Meetings" in his office with the door closed. Not my husband or wife. Not my problem. We continue this dance of me covering her station and getting in trouble for it for a few weeks untill an ice storm hits.

    I tell my boss I can't my car out and im waiting on a ride so I might be a little late. He proceeded to fire me because "this is the last straw" Btw I hadn't had any write ups. I agree that it's fine because I hate this job any way.

    Fast forward 2 years. I'm 21. And I'm celebrating with my friends at basically the only local bar in this hole town and terrible tiny when we walk in. Who do I see? Why if it isn't Mr Boss and not V. But his wife.

    He looks at me and trys to act like it's a happy coincidence. I sit down. Tell him it's my 21st. He buys me a beer as a gift and I chat him up. Enter my revenge.

    I introduce my self to his wife and tell her how he treated me. Talking about how I would cover the deli counter almost every shift for half an hour and then get in trouble for it because it wasn't my job.

    "No matter how many times I tried telling Me Boss I wouldn't have to cover deli, if he and V weren't having their daily locked door meeting in his office" She looked at him. Looked at me. And couldn't say a word.

    It could be read as But his wife was super polite and friendly and not in that southern religious style. But a genuinely nice person. I'm glad I could help pull the wool to let her know her husband is a complete garbage person.

    CandylandCanada What kind of moron gives an employee grief because the employee is essentially covering for the moron while the moron carries on an affair? *this guy*

    Top_File_8547 That's truly amazing that your boss was the cause of your not being able to do your job and gave you about it and fired you because he couldn't that day. He totally deserved it.

    indigowulf Reminds me of the time I ran into my (now ex) bf out on a date. I introduced myself to her friendly as could be, watching him squirm and loving it. Asked her how long they'd been together- 6 weeks. So, I started rattling. off the nights he spent at my house, and said "funny, because he was F'ing me this night and this night and this night.. oh and we've
