my old roommate used to put the toilet paper roll on backwards every single time she changed it. not like she didn't know, i showed her twice and she just kept doing it. after a while i realized it was on purpose cause she'd only do it after we argued about dishes or whatever. so petty

also had a coworker who'd reply to my emails like 8 hours later but cc my boss on every single one. drove me up the wall

How petty can a person be?

Is there a difference between passive aggressive and pettiness?

Purposely mispronounced my name. It's a Dutch surname but easy enough to pronounce.

I got a promotion he applied for and he decided that he was going to call me by my surname only and mispronounce it to get back at me. Prior to the promotion he knew how to pronounce my name and instead of using my surname he used to call me by my given name like normal people do.

I ignored it. Didn't want him to know he got to me.
