'[Ex-husband] dug up all the plants in her garden and took them with him': 25+ Moments of extreme pettiness that people were very proud of

Tell us if you dare… what's the most purely petty thing you've ever done? Nearly one thousand members of the r/AskReddit community had some exceptional stories to share. From bad bosses to noisy neighbors to impolite customers, these people have gotten their well-deserved payback. 

As mentioned in the title here, one particularly petty story involves a couple going through a contentious split. The husband snuck over to his ex-wife's home in the middle of the night, armed with a shovel, and dug up all of her plants! At least he saved the living things, some people would be petty enough to demolish the plants. And in the end, his ex-wife was so surprised by the sudden lack of plants in her garden that she just laughed it off. 

Another person was ignored by their mom on their birthday. They got back at her by waiting until her birthday and Mother's day, and then ignoring her in the same way! Pettiness knows no bounds, and you can read a bunch more great stories down below. 

After that, read about the people who conjured up some very funny workplace pranks, like one company who banded together to freeze a guy's bike to the freezer floor.
