r/Pettyrevenge Manager Gets Revenge Against Mega Karen! 

Have any of you encountered a Karen at work?

The Hoa story reminds me of my sister who went through something similar. Wanted to paint her house and the Hoa insisted it had to be an acceptable color. They provided her with samples of acceptable colors, various shades of off-white, brown, green and blues. My sister painted it in all the color. Each side of the house was a different color, with the trim all being different contrasting colors. Even the front door was painted a different color in each panel. Hoa threw a fit but couldn't do a thing. They were all approved colors. Nothing in the rules about using multiple colors.

"Are you calling my son a liar?" "I'm not calling him a truther!"

I REFUSE to live anywhere with an HOA.

I worked at EB Games and denying entitled children M rated games was the lifeblood of all staff members.

For the GameStop story, I think the best response would have been: EP:”Are you calling my son a lair?” Employee:”Are you calling me a lair?” Throw the question right back at her and give her a bit of pause.

That whole shampoo family, I'd cuss out my dad for saying not to be greedy with MY stuff.. I'd tell my dad straight to his face, okay I'm going into your bathroom and start using your stuff and see how YOU like it. Stop all that passive aggressive stuff 🤦🏽‍♂️ it gets you no where . Stand up for yourself otherwise people will continue to walk all over you

The dad is mad at the daughter, because the son purposely used her soap.......

Is there a subreddit dealing with HOA stories? Because I feel like there's a goldmine there which only occasionally shows up in Revenge and MaliciousCompliance subreddits.

I have to say you laughing mid story always makes me smile - it’s such a warm and friendly chuckle. 🤗

There are so many HOA posts out there it's scary.

Congrats to that 16 year old for figuring it out so soon! Granted I was very naive and had very little romantic experience, but at 20 a 32 year old guy managed to string me along for a year and a half with the "I am breaking up with my girlfriend it's just complicated cause she owns the apartment and I need to find one first" (and yes they lived together and she was his age, and found out about me pretty soon but didn't leave him either, I don't know if the apartment was in her name but probably since he was pretty broke) and a million other excuses which now I cannot understand how I didn't see through, but I imagine it was just wishful thinking. Also he was a really good liar, even convinced me they broke up a couple times and she moved out, when she was simply away to visit family. When I had enough of the bullshit and told him to fuck off he stalked me for months till I went to the police. After that I saw him once in town with a different girl holding a baby, so... What a piece of work. I feel bad for having been "the other woman" but everyone I told this to has told me that he was basically gaslighting me and I shouldn't feel bad for being naive and just wanting someone who loved me. Anyway, luckily I found my prince who really loves me, we're getting married Wednesday :)

"More like they'd pay me 40 dollars to keep my clothes on" Can we get an F in the comments for RSlash?

PSA: As a landlord, you HAVE to give 24 hrs notice of them coming in. It is very much against tenants rights to go in without proper notice. I seriously love my tenants but I love their rights more!!

Love how that first story involves mom learning her lesson AND getting something nice out of it! What a wonderful combination of petty revenge, malicious compliance, and wholesomeness!

Hate to break it to you, but I'm pretty sure "ili keeagles" is supposed to be "I like eagles"

A mega-Karen sounds like the beginning of the end of all humanity

anyone else get a kick out of when he laughs? I think it's one of my favorite parts.. I always love these videos.. It's the first thing i watch every single day!

5:24 Illy kegels?! It's "I like eagles"! XD

Yeah, when I get my own house, I’m going to be sure it’s not in a neighborhood with an HOA.

rSlash, with his wife about to do the adult stuff : Like what you see ? His wife, handing hiim 40 bucks : Put those clothes back on.

"Senior Guest Adviser"? Is that the sort of made up title change used to heap more work on someone without giving them anything in return?

I also have a lifelong boycott of any HOA. That is such a stupid system

I would have used all of the summer's eve or put it in a different bottle and replaced it with NAIR ayes the hair be gone stuff and then wait

"they'd pay me $40 to put my clothes back on." Me too, rSlash. Me too.

Oh Lord the Mega Karen! I feel bad for the retail workers 😔😂

God, the showing story just got me XD Landlord: "Get ready for the next showing OP" OP: "Argh, fine!" And "Now I wait!" 🤣 Priceless, good one OP!

Summer's Eve OP: I'd be telling your brother and dad to shove it where the sun don't shine and get out of that house and on my own, pronto.

RSlash: This is r/pettyrevenge, where a Karen gets a taste of her own medicine. Me: *Essential oils to the mouth!*

Why does a hoa have so much power over people. Like you use your own money and someone else tells you what u can't do in ur own house like wtf. I understand for like trash and stuff that will degrade the area but seriously why do you have to go through so many loop holes to paint ur house

Sup rSlash! RU-vid says this was uploaded 9 seconds ago haha! I listen everyday man, thank you for everything you do!

I'm going to share one of my sister's HOA stories. My nephew contracted a rare disease that attacks the lining of the spinal column and as he was recovering, needed to exercise in a low impact way. His doctor recommended swimming. My sister got one of those large inflatable above ground pools because they couldn't afford anything more permanent. One of the HOA directors tried to make her take it down because "only below ground pools allowed" However my sister was able to trump their rule with a doctor's note/order.

Can HOAs just be banned? I’ve never heard a positive story involving one.

Yayyy gota take my dose of r/slash for the day! You really make my day.

"The HOA head opted not to tell them anything about it" Yeah, cuz like any HOA, he wanted to impose fines and line his pockets, duh. I will NEVER, EVER, live in an HOA.

“More like they’ve paid me to keep my clothes on” oh no, rSlash 🥺

my son wants GTA 5. That really made me laugh

8:05 when I was in my early 20s, I went out with a girl a few times, and we ended up making out. She was all over my neck, and I told her not to leave a hickey. I said that because it went against my work's dress code. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cared. Her immediate reaction was to latch onto my neck like a lamprey and managed to bite and suction my neck until it bled. I shoved her to the floor, and she says, "I hope your girlfriend is happy!" And ran out of my apartment laughing. We were introduced through my most recent ex, and that was only 2 weeks prior. Thankfully, I didn't get fired because it looked like some kind of really bad paintball injury. My boss played it every weekend, and had wounds all over his neck and wrists some Monday mornings. She now posts daily inspirational quotes on Facebook about being an independent woman that don't need no man. I wonder why.

The second to last story reminds me of when my dad was building a nice patio deck to go with our newly built wooden fence. Our neighbour on that side was (as far as I know) a 40+ single woman, who’s lived there for many years, hated kids and and had a personal vendetta for us. As far as I know- the hatred started when my dad refused to mow her side of the front lawn when she went on holiday, FOR FREE. She even complimented the look of the deck as my parents were building it. SHE COULD SEE THE FRAME CAME TO THE FENCE! THERE WAS NO WAY THAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW CLOSE IT WAS GONNA BE TO HER PROPERTY LINE! She did this on purpose: the day after it was finished, someone (I’m really not sure who they were, might’ve been her, or her lawyer, or another official who takes care of this stuff) told us that there’s some obscure rule that no structures (excluding fences) could be built within 1.5feet of a property line (no clue of it was national, provincial, local or just very specific to our two house). My mom and dad spent most of the rest of that summer fuming while taking apart 1.5 feet of the absolutely beautiful deck they’ve built. No petty revenge (well there was a petty sign from my parents that ended up in the local news paper, but that got shut down quickly) just a nasty woman taking advantage of a useless law that she got no gain out of except to see others suffer (she couldn’t even use the land, it was our property! Why else except to make the summer a little infuriating for us?). My dad was careful to not cut a single blade of grass that was on her property. -sorry for the essay

My parents were once denied their color application by their HOA board. They had applied for the SAME COLOR it was already painted! The board claimed that they had gotten a different color approved 20 YEARS earlier, and had secretly swapped it out for the color they actually used! I have refused to live in a neighborhood with an HOA ever since I turned 18.

This is what a fancy karen's line would maybe be when they want the manager: I desire the administrator of this fine place P. S i can here a some fancy music when i wrote this

What up everyone

I had some similar experience at the time GTA V was released. I was also a customer in a game store (wasn't looking for gta) but there was a kid, maybe 12 years old, who was going on a full rampagne tantrum because all versions were sold out.

The paint story reminds me of how animators and other artists will submit clothing that characters will wear. They'd submit stuff that would never get approved and submit one that the artists wanted. They usually got the one they wanted. This is known as a "Censor Decoy."

Hi, I haven’t slept in two days thanks to quarantine. So, how’s your day today?

Let’s goooo another vid Love your channel, have a good day everyone ❤️

driving em nuts with all sorts of color swatches that would never be approved and then get them to approve the color that the house was painted in is a bloody genius move!!! that made me roar in laughter...

Therapist:pillar Karen isn't real she can't hurt you Pillar karen:LET ME SPEAK TO YOU'RE MANAGER

Who else immediately looked up the wine to try it🤙🏿😂

When A Mega Karen asks "can I have your car?" but somehow she wants you to give her the car for free and you without a car imagine though?

Okay that "Summer's Eve" soap story made me laugh 😂 serves him right for not respecting people's things

"are you calling my son a liar?!" "I sure ain't calling him a truther."

Rslash - *post* Me seeing he posted 3 mins ago- damn it im late

Time for all these kids to start commenting first, even though we all know who really is...

The first story with OP giving the second bottle to their mom made it wholesome

Honestly, I've lived in a few places with an HOA, and they've all been fine. The problem is that you only _ever_ hear about the bad ones.

Its my Birthday this wednesday!! I will turn 19😁 I am planning on eating some cake and crying alone. I make comedy videos on youtube btw

Has anyone been reminiscing on the good old day when we had background music?

"More like they'd pay me $40 to keep my clothes on" DUDE SAMEEE

That GameStop guy probably saved that kid getting in trouble by doing that. She was too mad at him to remember to be mad at her kid. Good job.

As someone that worked at GameStop for my first job, I had a similar experience with a male Karen. One night, me(a Games Assistant, basically just a cashier with a fancy title) and my SGA were the only ones in the shop. A family came in and after we explained that GTA V might not be the best game for their kids, they asked why and my SGA took over explaining bc another customer walked in with his kid. I, a freshly 18-year-old girl, said "Hi, welcome to GameStop! How can I help you?" Rude Customer(RC for short) said "You can't help me, but he can" referring to my SGA whom he thought was the store manager. RC would've been pissed my store manager was a woman shorter than I was lol. Anyway, SGA goes "She can help you just fine, I'm helping another customer" and RC is just "Where can I find the Wii Remotes?" I help him bc customer service but inside I'm like "You're the bane of my entire existence as a legit gamer", and as I'm ringing RC's purchase up my SGA got into the reasons why GTA V has an M rating(these parents were super open but wanted to at least watch over their kids and take away the controller at the right time, shout-out to those awesome parents). Overhearing the conversation, since this is before the days of GameStop TV by like 2 weeks, RC just goes "hey watch what you're saying there's kids here". Dude is covered in gang tattoos, like c'mon you basically live GTA V when you're not around your kid sir. Anyway, never saw RC or his silent kid ever again.

This was hilarious!! Loved the first story, it had a nice ending.

Hahaha I love that he got his mom one as a gift and pulled that on her. Encore.

One time I was at a Gamestop and I got to witness a 'GTA conversation.' The woman wanted to buy it for her young son, and the employee carefully explained why she might not want to do that. She ends up deciding not to get it. If looks could kill, that little boy would have murdered that employee lol.

Man, that first story was petty revenge, malicious compliance, and surprisingly wholesome all wrapped into one!

The hickey story, my mom told me that was one of her favorite ways to get revenge while she was teen. And man, even grown women still fall for that "I will leave my girlfriend /spouse for you, soon (trade mark)" spiel, some people just dont see it.

9:03 just like all our little sisters

I’ve been living in a neighborhood without an HOA for the longest time. Recently, my dad has organized an HOA for our neighborhood. As far as I know, there have been zero issues, except for the people constantly parking in the road that blocks your view from seeing who is coming from both ways. That’s one of the things, among others, that made my dad organize HOA our fellow neighbors

Me: 🙂😐😑 Me in my mind: Now me is frisk , and I go oop

I always heard it was a spoon in the freezer to help hickeys... 🤔 That HOA story is amazing!

I can imagine the GameStop story as a Ted talk lol

I wouldn't mind being paid $40 to keep my clothes on XD

I love that wine story. I was tickled she saved the other bottle for mom as a gift.

Live in a HOA since I was a child never had a issues with them only thing that happens is a letter saying are grass is too tall or the leaves need to raked what I like about the neighborhood is all the houses are costume all are different

KARENS WILL RISE!! muhaha... What the heck am I doing with my life....

5:18 who else imagined a giant baby doing the plank with a bunch o people in shock? lmfao

Thanos : I am.. Inevitable And I.. am Mega Karen *GET ME YOUR MANAGER*

5:30 🧟"illy keegals" - - - - - "i like eagles" 🏃💨

Life hacks with spoons.. 😂 some people don’t dominate the world just because they don’t want to 😂 LMAO

"Play manhunt" Normal people : Oh its hide and seek Me : OH GEORGEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As a paint store employee, paint colors don't stop being made (with RARE exceptions) it's all tinted in house from one of 4 bases (high reflective white, extra white, deep and ultradeep base). I found the paint story hilarious because HOA'S make my job living hell

5:23 the way he said "I like eagles" is hilarious

That spoon thing for hickies works about as well as the Rythm Method for birth control lol

That HOA Story... The pettiness! I freakin Love it. That was amazing. That takes Petty Revenge to a whole other level! Story was Beautiful! XD

5:25 - In the UK a landlord has to give you 24h notice by law before coming to the place you rent.

Mega Karen. The final Boss of all Karen's in 2020.

the wine story sounds like something my mom would do as a joke to me-

The soap story reminds me of my older brother. (He’s 19 where as I’m a 17F) I always ask for soap (specifically body wash) for my birthday and Christmas. I always get a bunch. Now, I have all my bathroom stuff on something that hangs over the shower head. That stuff is MINE. I pay for them or get it as a gift. My brother is fully aware of this but still used my body wash. Now, he doesn’t just use a little, I wouldn’t have a problem if he used a reasonable amount, but NO. He basically DUMPS the soap out. (He only takes baths, and takes two hours in the bathroom every time so I’m convinced all he does is sit in the water) I get onto him about using my stuff all the time and he never listens. You would think if he used my soap he’d smell at least decent right? Wrong! This boy is 19! He’s already failed out of early college, he flunked a scholar ship, doesn’t do any of his school work, etc. But added to that, he never does the chores, even when repeatedly told to, he eats everyone’s food, used a million of dishes a day (which I have to clean) talks back in the rudest possible way. And honestly doesn’t do anything to help around the house. There’s an unspoken rule that he had to leave the door closed because of how bad his room smells. I have specific types of soap I like to use, only ones with benefits to the skin so you can tell it’s pretty expensive. My brother has even used my razors before and left all the hair in it! (GROSS) I may be over reacting a bit. But I can’t stand the way he acts.

I was volunteering, during a flood, at the Town Office. I was directing volunteers as to where they were needed. Suddenly a woman stormed in and got into my face screaming how she was going to sue us and call the cops because her son, who worked at an A&W downtown, hadn’t been called and told not to come to work. I asked why that was our problem? She said she woke him up and brought him downtown and wasn’t allowed to proceed...into 4 feet of flood water. Also I pointed out that the restaurant had no window, was full of water AND had a car sitting in the middle of the dining area. She stormed back out and slammed the office door!

I've been here since you were on about 100K. I love your videos so much especially your Karen voice. It gets me everytime🤣🤣🤣. I just wish you could upload twice a day. I need more Rslash ❤

HOA: pulls petty crap Everybody: uno reverse card

The best part of story one, which most reddit stories lack, is that it taught the lesson WITHOUT being vindictive.

I knew someone who lived in an HOA once. There were two bushes outside of the house and one was dead, so immediately after they bought the house (no time to do anything), they were given a fine from the HOA for having badly kept bushes. They pulled the dead bush up and then got charged for only having one bush when the handbook stated that every house was supposed to have two. So they planted a second one then got another fine for not getting approval to plant first. Also I think they were expected to tear up the one they had planted, then ask for permission to plant it again, all while continuing to get fined for only having one bush in the meantime? They didn't live there long.

I live in a development with a HOA. Here’s my revenge story- the HOA handbook clearly stated that “solar panels are allowed as long as they can not be seen from the street” HOWEVER, in order to keep them from being visible they would have to be placed in a way that would make them blocked from the sun and they would be useless. AND according to the actual law- Solar panels can not be placed in a way that would make them unproductive and it is illegal to force someone to put solar panels in a unproductive place. So the HOA’s rules were directly contradicting the actual law. We wanted solar panels on our house. The HOA said no. (It’s also illegal to deny someone solar panels in any way at all) so we pretty much went to war. We gathered the whole neighborhood and signed petitions and sent emails and pretty much just screwed up the HOA’s whole month. They still denied the panels. We called a solar panel company who confirmed that it was illegal to deny us the panels. So they just straight up installed them without approval from the HOA. The HOA was pissed and sent us a fine (I don’t remember how much it was) we refused to pay. Month after month they kept sending fines. We still refused to pay. Eventually after a lot of fighting and screwing with the HOA they just gave up. We now live in peace with our panels. Other neighbors tried getting panels. They were denied. And they didn’t feel like fighting. The HOA also went after a bunch of our friends for dumb stuff like a scratch in the garage door and garbage cans that we’re visible above the fence line and basketball hoops on driveways. Years later most of the HOA hace either quit or been replaced. They’re still a pain in the ass but it’s not as bad as it used to be

I'll tell you whats funny, when you went onto the story by 'ilikeeagle; and you said 'ili keeagles' when it's 'I LIKE EAGLES', mannnnn, I laughed so damn hard I nearly sprayed my laptop with coffee,specially when you know what keagles are . Ahhh priceless hahahaha

My younger brother used to reject the shared shampoos and soaps my mother got for family use in the shower. He would instead demand to use the shampoo, conditioner, and soap I bought for myself. It would make him furious when I hid it from him. He would retaliate by using my hair brush, and leaving his hair in it. The brush was getting old, anyway, so I replaced it with a new version of the same brush. The dog inherited the old one, and I had been grooming him with it for some time when I brought it back into the bathroom to clean it. It was drying on the sink counter when entitled bro found it and brushed his entitled hair with it. When I fund it, with his hair still in it, I carried it into the kitchen and asked him why he used the brush. He smirked smugly and said, "Because you can't tell me not to." I said, "Maybe not, but the DOG might not like it. It's HIS brush, not mine." His howls followed me all the way through the house as I took the dog brush back to its keeping place. By the time I had put the brush away and come back to the kitchen, entitled bro was pretty sure he felt fleas crawling on his scalp. His glorious hair being the most important thing in the world, he thought his life was over, especially when our father told him with a straight face that the only thing he could do now was shave his head. Dad later roared with laughter when he told the story. Even my mother, who had no sense of humor and mostly let entitled bro get away with murder, thought he'd gotten his just comeuppance.

My sister-in-law laughed until tea came out of her nose when I revealed that our electric toothbrush makes an excellent emergency vibrator...and that maybe the head I had used wasn't *actually* an extra one...but in fact my brother's. I thought it was pretty funny myself.

About 30 years ago, my friend bought a house an a country area. During the next 10 years, the area developed and now his house was in an area run by an HOA. He never joined. The HOA started fining them for simple stupid stuff (hedges wrong type, toys in the front yard, car parked on side of the road, all the basic HOA BS). he just mailed the fined back with a note saying "Not a member". The HOA ended up putting a lien on their house for the unpaid fines, now totally about $5500. My friend took the HOA to court, proved he never joined the HOA (the "document" he supposed signed was clearly forged) and the HOA ended up owing him about $7500 in damages. Move forward, he decided it was time to paint the house. The HOA president keep coming by and ordering him that his colors (off-white with deep purple accents, looked better than it sounds) were not approved. he told the man to go send him another fine and he will see them in court again. then his wife has the brilliant idea to totally piss them off. They ended up painting their house yellow (like Tweety Bird yellow) with the same deep purple POLKA DOTS!!! the board flipped out. Realtors were telling them as soon as people saw that house, buyers would leave. Sales of houses sunk. The HOA finally offered to buy their house for 3 TIMES its market value. They sold, moved to another country house and put the rest into their daughter's college fund.

Ah yes, the dreaded Mega-Karen. She doesn't just ask for the manager, but for the regional manager.

2:48 One less awful GTA Online player to worry about. Thank you OP!
