Revenge & Petty Confessions

Revenge & Petty is for the confessions where you did the small, satisfying, not-entirely-proud-of-it thing, got someone back, let a petty grudge win, did the tiny bit of harmless sabotage that felt incredible in the moment. Nobody here is confessing to anything that hurt someone seriously; this category is specifically for the low-stakes, deeply human satisfaction of pettiness done well.

The confessions that land best usually admit the pettiness up front rather than justifying it too hard, the point isn't convincing readers you were right, it's admitting you knew you were being petty and did it anyway, because it felt that good. A little self-awareness makes these confessions land as funny rather than mean.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this pettiness usually aimed at?

A sibling, a friend, a coworker, a classmate, or a stranger who had it coming, anyone. It just has to stay harmless and petty, not anything that actually hurt someone.

Is this the place for something that actually hurt someone badly?

This category is meant for low-stakes pettiness, not anything seriously harmful, keep it in the spirit of "satisfying and a little petty," not genuinely cruel. See our Content Policy for what isn't allowed.

Can I post about pettiness that backfired on me instead?

Yes, a petty plan that blew up in your own face is one of the funniest, most-read kinds of confession in this category.
