The Reddit post titled “Car Salesman Talks Himself Out of a Sale” recounts a satisfying tale of petty revenge. In this story, a couple visits a Ford dealership with the intention of purchasing a new car. However, the salesman at the dealership dismisses them as non-potential buyers due to their appearance and the couple’s interest in a basic model.

The salesman keeps on wasting their time and makes it really hard for them when he asks for their salaries. That is the point when the couple decides it’s time to leave. In the end, the couple surprises the salesman by revealing their true intentions to purchase a Kia instead. They leave the dealership, effectively denying the salesman the commission he could have earned. They also send a picture of their Kia to the Forde’s manager so that he knows what John missed. In this way, they got their revenge as John got reprimanded over this act. Scroll down if you want to read the full story.
