‘Petty’ woman buys family member vacation for Christmas… then cancels it without telling them
- The unnamed woman took to Reddit to explain the situation
- She revealed that she gifted a trip to a family member for Christmas
- Then when she didn’t receive a gift, she canceled it without telling them
A woman has described the ‘little’ act she performed after not receiving a gift from one of her relatives for Christmas.
The unnamed woman took to Reddit to share her frustration, explaining that she had canceled an expensive holiday she had gifted to a ‘s***tty’ relative after they failed to get her a gift.
She explained the situation in a thread titled: Small revenge.
The woman claimed that although she and this family member had problems in the past, they had turned over a new leaf and so she wanted to give them something special for the holidays.
She booked a holiday for Christmas for the relative and booked a stay at a nearby hotel.
However, when she discovered that the same relative had not given her anything, she decided to put an end to their peace treaty and canceled the trip.
And the Reddit user revealed that she waited to cancel until they were already in transit, and didn’t inform her family member of the cancellation.
The woman titled the message: “Canceling the gifted vacation without telling anyone.”

‘I have a relative who is really stupid. We had our differences, which were then supposedly made up,” she wrote.
“So this year at Christmas I gave them a holiday gift that they were really looking forward to. I printed out the booking reservation and gave it as a gift.
“But not only did that stupid relative not give me anything in return (‘I just had so many things to do, honestly I completely forgot about you!’), they also kept making passive-aggressive comments about my house and the food I provided (I presented).”
The woman then revealed that she took things to the next level by canceling the trip – after they were already on their way to the destination.
She continued, “So petty that I canceled their vacation without telling them after I knew they were on their way to their destination.
‘Yes, there are costs involved, but I don’t care. I know they will be too stingy to book anything else and will instead return home angry and irritated, which is a great source of joy for me. Cheers!’
People on the internet flooded the comments section expressing their shock at the situation.
Most people cheered the woman on and some even suggested she take the joke even further.

One person said: ‘I love this, not only is this petty but 100 percent AWESOME! Make sure you ask them in front of everyone next year how their trip was.”
“Any aftermath?” asked another user.
Someone else added: ‘I would let them know I did it and why. Life is too short to even have regretful people in your life. If you feel that way, cut them off.’
“The reason was petty, but the revenge was brutal,” another reader noted.
