There’s a first time for everything…

And the person who wrote this story on Reddit got sick and tired of always being the good guy!

So they decided it was time to exact some petty revenge.

Get all the details below and see what you think!

My first petty revenge.

“I’ve always been a people pleaser and goody-two-shoes, including when it comes to letting people board a train/bus before me.

Well a few days ago, I had my first little petty revenge in my life.

There’s always one…

I was waiting to get on a train that was just rolling into the station.

Like everyone else I was waiting patiently for the train to stop so we can get on, when I already noticed a middle aged man kind of frantically walking about, obviously trying to get ready to board first.

I was a bit irritated as he decided to stand right in front of me although there were still wide spaces open to my left and right, but thought oh well.

The train finally stops, the door opens and people, as it the custom and polite, get in two lines by each door to file in.

Although the man had previously gone to a completely different entrance, it seems the line there wasn’t moving fast enough for him so he came back to the door I was at.

Dude!

And would you know it, he had no intent of standing in the back of the line but tried to squeeze in between the two lines to get in first.

As people are filing in and this guy comes to try to squeeze himself him, all of a sudden I’m standing directly beside him and can tell he’s going to try to push past me too.

Take that!

Never until this day have I done something intentionally petty, but something clicked on me here.

As this rude primate tries pushing past me, I lift my arm slightly to my mouth and start coughing the most disgusting and vile cough I could muster in that moment.

And Oh. My. Goodness.

The look of pure disgust, shock, and horror that came over this man’s face was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

He even stumbled back a bit.

I looked at him and got on the train before he could.

I know it’s small and it’s not super petty but it gave me such a good feeling anyways. I might just start being petty on a regular basis from now on.

I like the way it feels.

Here’s what folks had to say on Reddit.

Another individual chimed in.

Another person had a lot to say.

This is why it’s important to wait your turn…

One reason, anyway.
