What is an example of your real life pointless bitchery?
I once worked on a deal where an attorney was supposed to call me the night before a closing. She never called, so I called her at 11:30 pm and left her a voice mail. She never called back so I went home at 2 a.m. The next day at closing, she told a big group of people at closing (about 50 people) that I never called her, and I responded that I did in fact call her. She goes "well it's just my word against yours - we can't prove anything so let's just let it go."
It took my IT team 2 weeks, but they were able to get a usable timestamp record of my telephone call to her that night before closing. I emailed it to everyone on the deal 2 weeks after closing (about 50 people) with the note "Elizabeth - you said I didn't call you the night before closing and that there was no proof. Well here's the proof that I called you and you didn't call me back." She responded immediately "I have no idea what your email means". No one else replied.

That doesn’t seem to be pointless, OP. You had a point, a worthwhile point

At work, I will often ask "Did everyone do / turn in xyz?" when I know damn good and well that certain people didn't. It's just fun, and there's no reason for it, I just like late people to be called out.

Good for you OP! She deserved it, trying to publicly shame you with a lie.

Last week a spammer sent me a hello message while I was sitting and waiting for a medical appointment. Because I was bored, I shot back the same "Hello" at them... 30 or 40 times. They finally texted "STOP" at me and then blocked me. Stupider than stupid but I walked into the appointment feeling just a little bit satisfied about it.

…responding about your face, OP. That’s my pointless bitchery.

One question, OP- you stated that she was supposed to call you in the first place. Your 11:30 call was allegedly in response to Her dropping the ball. So why would she make a point of saying in the meeting that you never called her? That does t line up. Also, she was taking a bit of a risk claiming you never called her, if you had used a cell phone to call her you could have pulled up your call history immediately.

I once told a pregnant acquaintance I hoped she either miscarried or that her child got adopted, so it at least had a chance at growing up with some class.
It’s a long story.

I mocked a drawl once to someone on the phone.

In OP's situation, I have sent an email at the same time that I called, stating:
"This email is a followup to the voicemail I just left for you at xxx-xxx-xxxx..."
While it's not "proof," most people would believe you called since sending the email and not calling would be patently absurd.
Yes, I used to deal with a lot of jackasses, so CYA emails and a paper trail was essential.

A horrible contract employee that took far too long to get rid of fancied herself a freelance writer. A couple of years after she finally fucked off I saw she had the cover story in a monthly city magazine about modern art — a topic about which she knew exactly zero (she was dim by any standard).
Curious, I Googled some of the more knowledgeable language and the first hit was a NYT Magazine story online. I went to it and found huge sections just cut and pasted.
I emailed the proof to the editor of the magazine and got a horrified phone call 10 minutes later thanking me and saying they'd just mailed out thousands of copies with that on the cover. They had to take the story offline and issue profound apologies in the next print issue to avoid a Times lawsuit.
I believe I put an end to her fledgling "freelance" career. And she never knew it was me who blew the whistle.

When people extend their hand for a handshake I bow instead. I'm not touching you, sorry. I get weird looks all the time but I don't give a fuck.
