We've all been wronged at some point in our lives. And we all wanted to get revenge.
Well some of us sometimes get the chance to do so. And it feels great!
Or maybe it doesn't? Well, the sad fact is that there is a certain type of people that seems to have a subscription to injustice.
You know the type - quiet, nice people. In bullies' vocabulary - it spells "pushover."
Well, sometimes those people get the chance to take revenge. But the saddest part is - they are so nice that they can't enjoy it.
They actually start analyzing their actions and wondering if they went a bit too far. They can't even enjoy their revenge.
How sad is that? We have one story that perfectly shows what nice people are facing, and we know many of you will relate.
One Reddit user shared her story and asked a question "AITA for being petty and not helping a struggling coworker?" Redditors were glad to respond.
Take a look:
OP asks:
OP started a new job and she likes it there.
But there are some problems. One of them is that every employee has their preferred area of work. However, every worker is cross-trained and can fill any other position.
OP is pregnant, and even though it doesn't usually get in the way of her work, this day was different...
She asked one of her coworkers to switch stations just for an hour but got a hard "no" on that.
OP hard to continue working even tough she was in pain.
But things changed towards the end of the day. It was the coworker who needed help then.
So, the coworker turned to OP for help. And OP gave her the same answer she received.
OP's husband says her actions were a bit petty, but totally provoked. She also needs confirmation from the Reddit community.
And the Reddit community didn't have any doubts:
This is the universal truth. It never gets old.
OP is pregnant. And her coworker decided to ignore that fact.
Don't you just hate those people?
This Redditor is also right. Maybe there is more to this story.
It is hard when you can't count on your coworkers.
Helping people out is an investment. And most often - a good one.
We can't really get revenge for every wrong we suffer. And it is a good thing because let's face it, every story has two sides.
Sometimes even more. What looks like an injustice to us may be justice for someone else. it is hard to be objective when you are involved.
That's why it is good to step back, take a few deep breaths and analyze the situation calmly. And after you have calmed down, you might get a better perspective of things.
And then, if you believe revenge is deserved, go for it. Sure, it is divine to forgive, but we are no angels.
