There are times when we feel obligated to repay someone for something they do for us. It's just human nature, really.

Also, we are drawn to repay others for actions taken against us because those actions have been essential to our evolutionary development. As entertaining as it may be for some to watch a bully attack others, pettiness battles can also serve as a diversion or a humorous diversion.

But then, it's not every harmful deed that calls for imprisonment - perhaps a nice whooping of the behind. A bad deed may occasionally be so insignificant that it is even forgotten.

But we humans are small-minded and vengeful creatures as well; we make sure we get our own pound of flesh. We devise elaborate schemes of retaliation, and once it's all over, we even share stories of the plans we've executed on the internet.

We have one of these petty revenge stories for you today, as shared by Redditor u/IamMagicarpe. The OP had this coworker at a food court job when he was in college.

He was to be promoted to supervisor, so the manager asked him to start playing the part. Then, there was this coworker who was scooping chicken and piling it on for a customer.

The OP told him to make sure he does level scoops so they don’t run out of chicken, but he got yelled at in front of everyone. The OP planned his sweet, petty revenge, and you can read all about it as you scroll down below.

And here's the headline

I mean at the end of the day, he was more distraught than I ever was. That’s the only metric that makes sense here to me.
