ULPT: How to get revenge on a Facebook Karen who got me fired?

Posted by plasticpiranhas@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 26 comments

A woman I’ve never met got me fired from my bartending job over a post in a closed Facebook group. The post didn’t name my employer or provide any information that would lead to my employer. I was asking for suggestions on how to manage parents who don’t watch their children and allow them to run around screaming and breaking things, and apparently that offended her. She found the PDF of my resume on my personal website in order to identify where I worked and got me fired.

She hasn’t been employed since March so I can’t return the favor. She runs a car detailing “small business” (aka Facebook page). I’ve been able to find her phone number and home address. I’ve considered contacting child protective services and telling them she has a drinking problem, advocates bringing children to bars and letting them run around unsupervised, and drives with her child after drinking. But I’d love some more creative suggestions.

I guarantee you someone of this moral fiber is not paying ALL their state taxes on their business. Especially something like that she has definitely received some sort of electronic payments that are on record that she didnt pay taxes on.

First objective: use another account or have a friend contact her about car detailing and find out what forms of electronic payment she accepts. Report her to your states local tax authority this is an easy number to find. Let them know youre aware this person is operating under the table but receiving electronic payments through X and Y. Also report her business for fraudulent activity to the IRS. Someone with more credentials feel free to weigh in on how to ensure she receives an audit.

Using what proof?

Yeah, exactly. People always recommend reporting people to the IRS or state tax department for tax fraud with zero proof. They're not just going to open an investigation because you say John Smith might be doing something illegal.

Yeah, but you don’t say that they might be doing something illegal, you would have to say that you overheard them tell someone they don’t report all their income.

Bonus points, if the IRS does actually open an investigation and audit them, there is a chance you get a percentage of whatever is recovered. You’d have to google the details on. How that works though. And tbh, under the current administration, I would not be surprised if that is no longer a thing.

Not sure how much “evidence” the IRS would want provided to audit someone, but since this is unethical I don’t think that’s really the point.

Got news for ya, pal. The IRS doesn't operate on hearsay, which is what you just described.

Yes, common sense would assume that they’re not just going to jump at a single call of what amounts to gossip. As I said, not sure what they’d require in evidence. But if your name is already on a list because you’re doing something stupid, it stands to reason that someone making a report with your name could give further incentive. I mean, iirc, technically they don’t even have to have a reason to audit you. So who knows how petty they get. Humans are infinitely corruptible.

Unethical, yes. Pro? Eh, debatable. I prefer plausible deniability, I don’t have the patience or the interest in that level of personal involvement in a revenge plot.

Need more info to come up with a diabolical karmic ULPT. How did she get you fired? What did you do wrong?

Phathed_b4itwascool@reddit

Fuck her dad!

Unexpected, yet somehow expected Quagmire.

Why did this get you fired?

My tip would be to move to a developed country. With worker protection and stuff.

Until then. Fuck her dad.

So not the USA?

To be honest I would just shit on her doorstep. Simple. Easy. Done.

Brick. Window. Also quite effective.

Shit covered brick through window? 🤝

Or make her shit on his doorstep. Simple. Easy. Done.

She details cars. Bring her a car with a hidden camera, and some cash where she will find it while cleaning. Make sure the camera can see the cash. Turn her over to the police when she takes it. If it hits local news, her business will fold, because no one will trust her.

This is really a two-step process. First, get your car detailed and file a police report for a stolen whatever. You'll have to be able to prove that you purchased it, so keep a receipt or something. Second, using a second car with a simple dash cam that films the cabin, catch her stealing the cash. File a second police report. The severity of the crime will be dependent on the dollar value of the thefts. I wouldn't take this to a state felony level or fuck up her kids or anything. Your bar managers were a bunch of fucking pussies.

It just sleep with her dad and put a piss disc in her purse.

Review bomb her with bad reviews, your CPS thing is a good iea too.

If you know where she lives, get doublemint bombs and liberally apply to her lawn.

Also throw handfuls of unwrapped bullion cubes on the lawn so animals dig holes in it.
