How Petty Are You?
A) You advise your manager against promoting the coworker you hate as a person and employee/coworker
B) The coworker who got you promoted only endorsed you for Microsoft fucking Office on LinkedIn, yet you endorsed them for actual skills they don't have. You are salty and wish them bad luck in their career, because you are also unhappy with them for other work reasons.
C) You see a negative review about a former coworker, and you can only assume it's the same one you had a fight with shortly before you quit. You feel satisfaction that their attitude is screwing them over.
D) You already left but you still hold a grudge against the company. You have also decided you will never visit your former workplace again, and that you will not voluntarily contact the manager about their current marketing decision you feel is incredibly unwise from a business perspective.
E) A guy from high school comments on your picture. You remember you desperately wanted validation/approval from him as a teenager, and never got it, so you 'like' his comment instead of initiating conversation.
F) You meet someone in-person from Tinder that you matched with months ago, when you were actively swiping. They text you everyday for 2 weeks, and when you hang out, you interpret their intentions as non-platonic because not only are they considerate and sweet, but they are very touchy-- i.e. they put their fucking arm over you while viewing the waterfall. Several days later, you guys have a conversation, and he says he is seeking friendship. You feel especially triggered from your previous fuckboy experience, so you tell them you want to end all communication.
Later, you get back on Tinder and see that they've updated their pictures and their bio, that suggest they are looking for more than friendship.
Your ego takes a hit because they're not attracted to you, physically or personality! You decide to quit Snapchat because seeing his selfies makes you want to punch him in the face and choke him, despite ending things cordially. You are so enraged that it overshadows all good thoughts of him, and you are sure you may never want to see him again.
G) You didn't like that your friend kept pushing you to do karaoke 3 weeks ago, and he decided for the two of you that you guys would be attending a Halloween event (2 fucking months away). You don't want to do the adult thing and actually talk about it, so you're sending short replies to his texts, not being fully engaging, and definitely not hanging out.
H) All of the above.
