Professionally Petty Since 2024
The internet's most trusted resource for low-stakes chaos, mild inconvenience, and maximum friendship stress testing.
The Arsenal
Harmless. Petty. Absolutely worth it.
Build an Apple Shortcut that fires a Venmo request for $0.01 to your friend. Label it something suspicious like "You know what this is for." Set it to repeat 200 times via a loop. Trigger it while casually sitting next to them and watch their phone vibrate itself into another dimension.
Scoop unsalted butter into an ice cream cone. Hand it to them like it's perfectly normal. Maintain eye contact. When they look confused, say "What? It's vanilla."
Borrow their phone (classic "let me see that meme" move). Add a text replacement: "the" โ "the absolutely unhinged". Watch their texts become literature.
For 72 hours, respond to every single text โ regardless of content, length, or emotional urgency โ with a single lowercase "k". No exceptions. Not even for emergencies.
Change their phone wallpaper, lock screen, and home screen background to a close-up of your face. Bonus points: also set it as their contact photo for themselves.
Change every contact in their phone to a different celebrity's name. Mom becomes "Dwayne Johnson." Boss becomes "Taylor Swift." Chaos ensues for weeks.
Move their monitor exactly one inch to the right every single day. Say nothing. Do nothing. Just watch them slowly lose their sanity over two weeks as it migrates off their desk.
Place googly eyes on every single item in their fridge. Every egg. Every condiment. Every forgotten leftover. When they open the door, everything is watching. Everything.
Change their Alexa wake word to "Computer" so they have to sound like they're on Star Trek every time they want to play music. "Computer. Play lo-fi beats."
Every time you're in the car together, only play one song. Never skip it. Never explain it. If they change it, wait 30 seconds and switch it back. We recommend "It's a Small World."
Make their breakfast. Put the milk in first, then the cereal. Hand it to them confidently. If they say anything, look them dead in the eye and say "that's how you're supposed to do it."
Put a thin piece of tape under their keyboard's Caps Lock key so it feels normal but toggles every few keystrokes. Watch them type important emails like a RANSOM NOTE.
