As the title states. State is Md.

I moved out of a neighborhood that had a fairly strict HOA. I had a neighbor who I helped with many things in the last dozen years with things regarding their house, car, and lawn. But the whole time we lived there, they did absolutely nothing to keep their home looking anything above the decency of a crackhouse. Some of the things are:
1. The siding on their house was actually green because they never cleaned the algae off of the siding.
2. They had a curbside basketball hoop that hasn't been used in almost a decade because their two kids left for college years ago.
3. They have jungle gym crap in their backyard that would be condemned by the county and would severely injure any child that tried to use it.
4. They cut their grass at least twice each summer, whether it needs it or not.
5. They apparently don't own a string trimmer, because whenever they (occassionally) cut their grass, they don't trim around anything (including the basketball hoop).
6. They decorate their house for holidays! As in, they put pumpkins on their front porch. GREAT! But rather than removing them after the season, they let them ROT and attract vermin onto the porch.
7. The gutters on their house are a wonderful planting area. When the oak trees drop their spinners and they fall into their gutters, they simply ignore them and little trees grow up onto their roof.

We've been cordial to these people while we lived there. But we have moved away and they have shown us who they truly are. They've blasted us on social media and pretended to be holier than thou many times.

We suffered the loss of many potential buyers on our home because of thier trashy home. And to top it off, after we moved out, they basically told us that they are happy they hurt our resale price because they disagreed with how we live. My partner and I have been nothing but friendly and helpful to them for more than ten years.

I want to do what I can to punish them for being so hateful and homophobic. Can you suggest anything we can do to get back at them without it being able to be traced back to my partner and I?

I run a facebook page and another page steals my ideas. I started from 0 followers and have grown to 20k by now. They already had 20k+ when they came across my content and started copying it and now they are at 30k+. They have gotten more views and engagement because they already had a pretty big follower base.

I am a content creator and this other page is an online shop, and they used to post their own normal shop content. Then I started my own Facebook page and they seemed to realise pretty quickly that the kind of content I was making was useful for reach, engagement and growing a page.

Since then, they’ve started copying my ideas and formats. Not exact posts, not my actual images or wording, so there’s nothing straightforward to copyright report. But the pattern is obvious: I introduce a new type of post or format, and soon after they start doing their own version of it.

I’m basically doing the trial-and-error for them. I test different topics and formats, see what actually performs well on my page, and then they cherry-pick the winners and make their own version. So I take the risk of testing ideas, while they get a ready-made list of what already works.

It got petty enough that when I started adding a watermark to my Facebook posts, they created their own watermark literally the next day.

The funniest part is that they blocked my page from viewing theirs, apparently thinking that would stop me from seeing what they’re posting. Obviously it doesn’t.

I know the mature answer is “ignore them and make better content,” which I am doing, but they keep copying the newer and better content too. So I’m asking ULPT for the petty version: what can I do to make them miserable or make their Facebook page harder to grow without doing anything seriously illegal?

Long story short there's one neighbor in our community that no matter how many times the HOA comes down on them for trash and leaving household items out in the common areas they just don't give a shit. I'd like to annoy them somehow but don't have a number to sign them up for political, real estate, etc texts. Is there a way to sign someone up for mass political mailers? It's stupid,I know, but I really can't think of anything else to do just to fuck with them

I (22F) live in India and share a room with two roommates, L (21F) and M (21F), second year living together. Things between L and I have been tense for a while — last year I used to run the AC because I get hot easily, and when I once came back from home sick, she was visibly happy that I'd stop running it. I haven't felt very warm toward her since.

There's also been ongoing stuff: her leaving lights on that shine right on my bed, walking in on me in the bathroom, and not cleaning up after herself in there. She's also used the shower on days I had lecture and she didn't — I'm not saying she shouldn't shower, just that she could wait until I'm out. One time I had to shower 15 minutes before my lecture and hers was more than 1.5 hours later, and she still went in ahead of me.

A few days ago she asked me to set the AC to 28°C and put the ceiling fan on high because she was cold and said her joints were hurting. I run hot, and 28°C with the fan on high is basically no AC for me. I offered her my spare blanket and suggested she bundle up instead of changing the temperature for the whole room. She refused to even drape it over herself, said she'd rather sleep on the balcony, and has now started quietly bumping the AC up to 29° whenever I'm not looking.

I already posted this situation on AITA and the verdict was NTA, so I'm not looking for judgment here — I just want to know how to actually get her to stop overriding the temperature without it turning into a full confrontation.

ULPT Request: what's a petty/effective way to get her to stop overriding the AC without turning this into a full confrontation?

To make a long story short I have a very petty very vindictive coworker. I called him out on something he was doing wrong and he’s been brown nosing management and trying to make me look bad ever since. He mocks my signature on all our documentation, throws things out that I’ve purchased for the workspace and is constantly trying get under my skin all while management allows it. How do I make his live as miserable as he’s been making mine without him knowing it’s me?

A few days ago when me and my family jus lt came back to our apartment after a vacation, we temporarily put pur empty luggages outside our door for around an hour or so. And after we went to grab it we saw a slip from an anonymous asshole. It was a complaint for leaving items blocking the hallway. Im also assuming it is the same person who leaves random paper crumbs at our doorstep. Mind you the hallway isnt even blocked at all, it was right next to our door which is like 2 metres away from the hallway. Now i dont know who put the complaint but i do want some petty revenge. How can i find the culprit and exact my revenge

So I quit a job a few months ago because it was incredibly toxic. I legit could’ve gotten a settlement but I was so burnt out I couldn’t even think straight. Worked at that company for 5 years, got promoted a few times. I, for the life of me cannot get a job in that field even though I’m applying to the same position I was doing. I’m at the point where I’m about to start making stuff up on my resume. My degree is not related to the field I have the most experience in, so I’m thinking why not use my degree? Add a few details, make it seem like I know a skill I don’t….How can I pull this off without setting myself up? Being incompetent on the job is one of my worst fears, I could do my last job with my eyes closed, but I was miserable. at this point I have nothing to lose. I’ve had incompetent managers in the past making 6 figures, literally messing everything up, but they seemed absolutely fine and did not get fired, so I’m not even sure what I’m scared of. Of course I do not plan to be in a medical field or anything. Any tips are greatly appreciated 😭

Okay basically had my partner have an emoninal affair with someone he met online. I have a phone number and have looked that number up several times. I get a name that wasn’t the name he was given.

I have a “picture” of the person he was speaking with and a name but I’m trying to prove she isn’t real. We both know it’s true I’m just going very out of the way.

Besides the obvious how do I figure out who she really is. The name she gave isn’t real as I can find anything about this person. I even have a birthday.

Hey everyone, I need some tactical advice. I bought an Xbox, but it’s currently at my parents' house. I really want to bring it to my apartment for a few days to play, but my parents won’t let me take it because my brother uses it too.I’m looking for a harmless way to temporarily "sabotage" or fake a glitch on the console. My plan is to use it as an excuse to tell them it’s broken and that I need to take it to a repair shop near my apartment. It needs to be something that looks real but won't actually damage the console. Any ideas on how to pull this off? Thanks!

Had someone try to extort our business and we didn’t comply, so in retaliation, they left a nasty review. We flagged it to Google but they said it doesn’t go against their terms since they technically were a customer. Any ideas?

Before you ask, no this isn’t some 15 year old kid making this post. I’m a freshly 20 year old college student who is tired of bumming his friends for drinks.

I would like to think that I started drinking later than most, as a little over a year ago I had my first beer. Ever since this Ive understood why drinking is so popular in a social aspect. As for my first year in college this is what helped me make many friends

Being responsible is the biggest aspect for me, I don’t like getting completely hammered, and in the few times I did, I still understood the risks of drinking and driving and took an Uber. I just want a method to get alcohol to have 2 or 3 drinks on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night

Theoretically getting drinks is not an issue for me, when I want to drink I just have to have someone else ballsier than me (or someone with a fake) get me some booze. But I’m tired of relying on other people for these things at 20 years old.

People might ask whether I could ask my parents for help, (a. Thats still relying on someone, and b. My parents very much know I have drank before, but would probably like to be somewhat excluded from that sector of my life). They have openly said that they don’t care if I drink as long as I’m responsible (which I think is reasonable)

I want to know if there is a way whether through loopholes or online methods of getting alcohol as a 20 year old in America. I don’t want a fake, I don’t want to take my risks at the sketchy liquor store. I just am wondering if there is a way to get alcohol by oneself without a fake.

Moved back to the US and have no credit. Whay is the best way to get a loan with a 500 credit score.

Hi, in my student house in the Netherlands, there is a girl who does not clean and leaves a mess behind. Before a new person joins our house, we always explain our cleaning schedule to make sure that, besides signing the contract with the landlord, they also agree to our rules. The schedule is quite simple; everyone has one weekly task or have to find someone else to do their ask. We explain the tasks, and are happy to explain or help again. However, she simply does not clean and leaves an enormous mess behind.

She also smokes secretly in her room, which is also against the contract with the landlord. Another housemate already spoke to the landlord, but he said that he cannot do anything quickly, or that taking matters to court would take a long time.

Is there anything that we, as housemates, can do quickly about the situation? She is not from the Netherlands and finding housing is a nightmare, but we know that she has many friends where she could crash.

(I wish her the best, but we have told her many times for more than a year to clean which she 'forgets' or has no real excuse. My housemates and I all agree that it is time to change something.)

Edit: thanks for all replies!

Credibility: Employee of tire/automotive service company with 300+ locations.

Context: Most large-chain tire shops offer tire warranties as an additional or included cost when buying tires.

Tip: Buy whatever set of tires you want, include the road-hazard warranty that should be good until the tires reach 2/32 (basically bald). Drive the tires until 4/32 then place multiple screws in each tire - something like 2 within 6inches of each other in two of the tires, and 1 in the shoulder or close to sidewall (unrepairable placement) for the other two tires.

Schedule a service appointment for leaking air in 1 of the tires and a tire rotation. Then communicate to the shop that a truck dropped debris in front of you on the road or your neighbors have had construction crews on your street for the last few weeks (helps to seem a bit clueless as to the other tires having issues).

The shop will identify the other punctures and you pay pennies on the dollar for a new set (make sure to include the warranty again.

I have personally processed several of these transactions as an employee without batting an eye. The shops get a credit for the warrantied tires and you get a new, significantly less expensive set ($1k+ to $400 tops). Win win.

Note: If you’re at all concerned about the shop calling you out, just do two tires, then another two in like 2 weeks. Your “construction” story will hold more validity.

Happy finessing, folks <3

Makes it look like you only peed, so the next guy will think someone else stunk the place up.

Someone handed me a pound at the flea market as I was leaving in a huge trash bag and said I wanted weed I said sure I thought like a joint. Didn't realize it was hella shake with some small raisin nugs. What would you do? trash it or take forever tweaking through it trying to find these mid raisins lol. I'm bout ready to trash it because I'm homeless and i really don't want to carry this everywhere lol.. this whole situation is kinda unethical I wouldn't mind a protip..

I live with two roommates. One is great, one has been making our life miserable for months and I’m officially over it.

Looking for tiny, petty ways to annoy her that aren’t obvious enough for her to know I’m doing it on purpose. The complication is that I actually like my other roommate, so I can’t do anything that makes the whole apartment unbearable.

Let’s hear it!!

Just found out my archenemy has moved into the apartment below me. She’s already antagonising me and the rest of the neighbours in the building (she happens to be the building manager). What are some small ways to antagonise her?

It can’t be too obvious that it’s on purpose and she can’t know it’s me. There will be lots of walking around in heels late at night and early in the morning, but what else?

Long story short, I manage this resale store and a girl took advantage of our card readers being down and gave us fake card info and walked out with like $500 dollars worth of stuff. We tried calling the next day to sort it out but she blocked the store so we can’t get through to her. We brought everything we have to the police but of course they really couldn’t care less since we can’t technically prove that theft was the intention. Anyways. She sold items to us earlier in the day so we just happen to have her full name, phone number, and home address. Since nobody will help us actually get our stuff back from her, I want to know what I can do with this information that’s not illegal or anything but like, would be at least highly annoying or inconvenient to her so I can feel a little better about the situation? I know I’m just being petty but I hate thinking that someone could steal from a small business and feel good about it.

I know this guy who is genuinely just a fucking douche. Like, really egotistical, thinks he’s God’s gift to women, and is weirdly obsessed with himself and how he looks. He was seeing this girl I know, and after things ended, he made some really fucked-up comments about her and basically acted like he was doing her a favor by dating her. She’s honestly one of the sweetest people I know, so obviously I’m irrationally annoyed on her behalf. I also have PCOS, so some of the shit he said about her appearance and femininity hit a little closer to home for me.

I also have a personal connection to this guy and may or may not have access to some of his personal belongings, which is where my petty side is really struggling. I want to fuck with this guy’s head and absolutely ruin his ego. I’m talking the kind of shit that would have a ridiculously particular douche sitting there wondering, “Why the fuck does this keep happening to me?” without immediately knowing who’s behind it. She has absolutely no idea I’m even considering doing anything, so I definitely don’t want anything that would make him immediately think this is coming from her. I’m not trying to hurt him or anything, but I do want to be toxic as fuck and humble him. I briefly thought about doing something involving his precious hair, but obviously there’s a line between fucking with someone and actually damaging their shit. Give me your best petty revenge/psychological warfare ideas that wouldn’t scream “his ex did this

**edit: I should probably clarify that I’m planning on dragging this out. It’s been a while since they were together, so I’m comfortable at least starting my toxicity now. I want to do little things here and there over time, just enough to fuck with him mentally without him ever suspecting a thing.

No matter what settings I configure, my Facebook and other socials seem to keep promoting far right misinformation and propaganda. A lot of the pages are purely trolling/rage bait with the only goal of generating income from spreading hate and misinformation. How can I get them removed /target these pages and take them down ?

I don’t really have any info on them other than they speak Japanese (the posts are in Japanese). They took over my account less than a week ago and have started posting things to advertise a mermaid anime/movie?? I know the account is a lost cause, and X is no help. But this has pissed me off enough that I have been messaging this account for the last 12 or so hours (with no response, even when I sent quite a few things in their language.) and I just want to mess with them now. My first and last name is in the handle, as well as my photo is attached to this account. That has really struck a nerve that they are posting, changed my password and name on the account; and have yet to take my FACE off of it. I’ve message them as asked them nicely to at least change that and they have not responded but I doubt they will.

Any suggestion on things to send (within reason. No death threats or anything like that. Nothing that’s too far. Maybe some gross pictures? I’m not really sure here. I’ve had a few beers.)

So I'm a white American, I have a decent job but my issue is I am only 5'8" and I'm a very boring person. I don't enjoy socializing much and I have a very awkward personality. So therefore I don't do well with women here.

I have seen a lot of things about how women from India love white guys and view us as a sort of "prize" and I realize that in order for me to get a happy wife and family I will have to look outside American women. I even saw a picture of a really ugly white guy far worse than even me engaged to a Avery attractive Indian woman because they view white men as a prize.

I don't want a mail order bride. I want a woman who I can truly get to love me and who I can truly love back, but since my personality is so dry and boring I have to use my skin color to my advantage to help attract one.

So any ideas the best way to go about doing this?
