This Woman Was So Tired Of Her Narcissistic Co-Worker She Trolled Her With A 5-Year-Long Prank

There is a classic re-occurring Saturday Night Live sketch called ‘Penelope,’ with Kristin Wiig acting as an obnoxious woman whose purpose was to show up and one-up everyone around her. What makes the skit so hilarious (other than the acting) is that most of us have encountered our own ‘Penelope’ at one point or another.

Well, Tumblr user Amy shared her story of retaliation against one such co-worker, Faye, who was quite skilled in the art of one-upmanship. Faye is described as quite the narcissist in the post and couldn’t even remember Amy’s name. Well, one day she asked about Amy’s “son”, Tim, and well things sort of spiraled from there.

No. Because it's 2018 and everything must be cringy. More points if there is whining in it.

I have a theory that all of 'those' stories are written by the same/small group of people. They all sound so much alike. At least, they must have the same editor. Good grief.

A pathetic story about 2 pathetic women who make up pathetic stories to make their pathetic lives look better. I'd say that's a lose-lose situation.

The response isn't pathetic at at all. She's just having a little fun with a woman who doesn't care about anyone else around her. It's better than getting angry.
