the art of petty - REACTION

Hey guys, it's Charlotte Dobre here and in this video, we're going to be talking about petty revenge. We've all been there - someone does us wrong and we can't help but plot our revenge. But sometimes, the revenge we seek is more petty than it is satisfying.

In this video, we'll be exploring some of the most outrageous examples of petty revenge out there. From stealing someone's parking spot to giving them a taste of their own medicine, we'll be diving into the world of small-scale revenge tactics.

But revenge isn't always a laughing matter. We'll also be discussing the impact that petty revenge can have on our mental health, our relationships, and even our safety. When revenge takes priority over forgiveness and understanding, it can lead to a never-ending cycle of pettiness and negativity.

So get ready to join me on a journey through the world of petty revenge. We'll be sharing some outrageous stories, providing some insights into human behavior, and maybe even learning a thing or two about how to let go of the need for revenge.

Hi, I'm Charlotte Dobre. I'm an actor, reactor, singer and sometimes (not really) comedian. On this channel I do reactions, commentary and occasionally I make a joke or two. I love poking fun at social media, weddings, entitled people, tiktok and OF COURSE petty people. I upload daily, usually 7 days a week, unless life gets crazy or I get lazy. Come hang out, it's a good time.

My ex-husband told me while we were married he hated women with short hair and redheads. He completely screwed me over with thousands of dollars of debt and ruined my credit score after five years together. I showed up to divorce court with short red hair. It was the best petty moment of my life.

My long distance boyfriend flew in for my Senior prom. So I had to pay for everything. I couldn’t afford to get new shoes, so I had to make do with what I had. He was shorter than I was and it was an issue for him. We made it through the picture line and then he threw such a fit we ended up leaving!! I never got to have my senior prom because he was mad I was taller than him. On the bright side, the photographer pulled me aside and told me I looked like Nicole Kidman…I think he knew there was an issue and tried to make my night, bless him.

My mother in law got us all shoes for Christmas one year, and my father in law, brother in law, and husband all had issues with their shoes, so she AUTOMATICALLY assumed I hated the absolutely AMAZING AND COMFORTABLE boots that she picked out for me. Thing is I genuinely loved those boots. But she insisted that I must hate them. We got into a heated argument because I had no issue with my gift. So I made it a point to wear those boots to every family gathering for the next two years. Even in the dead of summer.

Last night at work I got the best compliment. This lady is maybe in her 60's and she's having a glass of wine, everyone is jiving having a good time and I go to close her out. She says to me "you know who you remind of? Charlotte Dobre, you have her mannerisms."

Ya'll the squeal I squelt, I was so excited. It made my night and when she was done she looked at me before she left and went "Subscribe!"
Honestly the most wholesome moment of my life.

I was in an abusive relationship in HS n then he moved to FL but came back to “bring” me there. I finally stood up for myself and that was that. Several yrs later was just talking to my Mom about how I did that and never let anyone do that again. Anyway, she said he sent many letters from FL read them and threw them out so I wouldn’t get sucked back in! She was the best MOM! Lost her a few mths back.

The girl at the end who said her petty is being nice so they can’t say anything bad about her: it is so effective. I used to be a preschool and kindy teacher. I worked with a woman who was super difficult, would scream at me in front of our students about things she thought I should be doing but I was under no obligation to do. For example: it was my free planning time to go wherever I needed to go to plan my lessons, and her time to supervise playtime. She expected me to plan in the playroom with her to “share the responsibilities” meanwhile she never did this on her planning time, so she knew this was BS. Also have you tried typing and getting quiet time around 40 little kids under the age of 5? It is impossible to have any sort of extended concentration to type up lesson plans or create materials bc all the kids are just going to come up and want to play with the materials lol. I loved the kids but that was the truth. Anyways, I never got aggressive back with this woman. I kept everything factual and unemotional, and I even went out of my way to be “nice and helpful” during other times. I gave her absolutely NOTHING to come back at me. Partially bc I just like the kind of workplace where everyone is respectful of each others time but still makes an effort to help each other out when we can. It’s not expected, but always pleasantly surprising and grateful when help happens. I had this kind of relationship with EVERYONE else on the staff. The other part of me knew if I kept it civil, she would have a long track record of popping off at people and being demanding, and my record would be squeaky clean.
So for the petty revenge: her contract came up for renewal. Now, the HR lady didn’t know about all the outbursts bc my manager handled it at the time. So she drafted up a new contract for the teacher to sign. Then, all the other teachers were upset and voiced to HR and mgmt. They all had run ins with that teacher and were pissed they’d have to work with her another year. Well I didn’t rly say much until I was asked “so what do you think?” And I just….told the truth. That I tried to be reasonable to her, and all I got back was hostility and aggression and insults. I detailed some of the things she screamed at me. The owner of the school said to HR: “take back the contract. if Val has a problem with her then there is a real problem. She is gone.” And that day, the woman was really really REALLY angry to everyone, and straight up stopped speaking to me at all. She was gone about a month later. Her replacement ended up becoming one of my best friends in the whole world. The lesson is: if you’re nice all the time and someone is being rude to you, they look like the asshole. So stay nice to spite them lol. Karma will come in the end. Or at least the court of public opinion hahaha.

My petty story: In the late 1980s, I worked as a receptionist at a small company, owned by a couple. The wife was a very gossipy, nosy, nose-in-the-air type. One day, I was called into her office for wearing my skirts too short. Actually, my skirts hit me at the same place other women's in the office did, but my legs are long and I'm tall, I suppose more leg was showing. She informed me I was to buy new skirts or let out the length. I went home, let out the hems, and then left the raw edges unhemmed. I wore one to work the next day, all sassy and stuff, loose threads blowing in the breeze. Her husband nearly choked on his coffee when he saw me. She never said a word. I wore them like that for the next year. Thirty years later, when I run into former coworkers, they still remember that. I could have handled it better, looking back....but I was younger and the petty gene was still fresh.

Best line... "Let's go get hideous today" absolutely slayed that in the first clip!

[wayfareangel]

Okay, but that lady with the lashes is NAILING that outfit. I like how she went "I'ma be petty, AND look good."

[pjwhite]

When I was 13, I cut my hair "boy short" and dyed it fire engine red. My grandmother started on about how it was so ugly and people were going to think I was a *gasp* LESBIAN, etc. Looked her straight in the eye and said "Well, I didn't ask what you think, I don't care what they think. And, I'm bisexual." It was a big stink in the family for a while and was the first step to many of the reasons various family members don't speak to me anymore.

Edit to add another story: When my cousin had her first child, she posted on FB and all that, and her brother left a comment that said "Ew. Unfollow." Obviously, it was a joke and THAT side of the family actually has a sense of humor.

The artist that did your lips did a great job. It looks naturally enhanced. Your body, your choices and you chose well.

7:46 "DING!!!" Lecturer stops talking...this was the absolute funniest...TypeWriterUs InterruptUs...

[jenn]

I wish we could've gotten an "after" picture of the first one...after her hair cut! I'll bet it was BEAUTIFUL!

[evie-rdtc]

Oooh that last one is my favourite flavour of petty too. My ex spread stories I was the hysterical ex who can't let go (when we hadn't talked in months?) and then when there was a party of our shared group of friends for the first time in months, he brought his new girlfriend. So I was just really joyful and kind especially to her, just not showing a worry in the world. He got all mad and they left within half an hour and we never saw him again, lol. Obviously just showed up to see me get upset and got frustrated when I saw right through his plan and countered it with kindness!

When my sister finally broke up with her abusive boyfriend a few years ago, my husband and I ordered pizza. We also bought cake, soda, chips and candy and had a sugarhyped picnic in our bed while watching a movie marathon to celebrate. I didn't dare tell my sister about that until about a year later and she just gave me this exsperated look that still makes me chuckle when I think about it. 😂

That dishwashing one was a trigger. When I was in college my passive-aggressive mother used to vacuum down the hall and run INTO my bedroom door with the vacuum on Saturday or Sunday mornings if I'd been out the night before.

2:06 the voiceover of Charolette singing “Since You’ve Been Gone” in a Cartman voice made me re-watch this segment

[rheah]

The very last vid, the one about being petty with niceness, is legit how I live. I work in customer service and my absolute favourite thing to do is be so nice to grumpy customers that they end up kinda getting more annoyed because I’m not giving them any reasons to validate their rudeness. It’s literally killing them with kindness and it’s the best 😂

[PCTLadyPuterTutor]

My husband and I did that very same break up dance when our oldest broke up with their significant other after a very long and toxic relationship. I can relate 100%.

My daughter started coloring her hair magenta pink a few years ago…lots of people were like, “ Omg, it’s too bright, you couldn’t pick a better shade?” 🙄She said, “ Good thing it’s my head & not yours” Now, all I see is people with the same exact color in their hair…guess it was a good choice after all? 😂 Mind your business & carry on -it’s a good way to live life👍🏼
