A colloquial expression that refers to trivial, unnecessary, or small-scale mischief, drama, or antics that are carried out with the intent of annoying, inconveniencing, or provoking others. These acts are often spiteful or mean-spirited but lack any significant malice or serious consequences. They are typically perpetuated out of boredom, a desire for attention, or as a means of asserting dominance in a playful or passive-aggressive manner.
"I can't believe she spent the entire meeting doodling unflattering cartoons of the boss. That's some high-level petty fuckery right there."

When a Uber passenger or someone who frequently post reviews to businesses has a very slight inconvenience or something happens that’s not a big deal and they turn into a Karen giving the Uber driver or business a bad review and 1 star
My Uber passenger gave me 1 star because I took a short cut but ended up in traffic what a petty prick
We had a Karen complain that her service was slightly slower than usual at the dinner rush during a snow storm and we were short staffed, she gave us a 1 star review what a petty prick

Get the Petty Prickmug. When you know that you're wrong but decide to take things in the opposite direction of conflict resolution because you chose to believe your false reality and obsession with your own perspective like the narcissist you are
"Wow Chelsea is being ridiculously petty....she knows that she's wrong but continues to push her agenda and put her relationship wtih Oleg at stake to fuel her own ego and somehow prove that her invalid perspective is the right one....I dont know how Oleg deals with this....poor him."

Get the Pettymug. Basically someone who uses it to justify what they’ve done without the consequences of the other person usually victim. When the victim does something similar back the person who done you wrong doesn’t like their own medicine so they call the victim petty. That’s what it really means. Petty is not necessarily always bad.
If Person #1 asked person #2 to borrow their pen just to sign in and person #2 asks person #1 where is your pen. Then person number #1 says they left it in the car. Person #2 says you might want to get it it’s apart of your uniform. Next time person #2 ask person #1 for something, person #1 does person #2 the same way. Person #2 will call person #1 petty totally disregarding the fact that they act funny with their pen.
