Petty. It’s a tiny word with enormous personality. Some people practically sparkle with pettiness—dropping subtle comments so sharp they could slice through wrapping paper, remembering exact dates of minor slights from three years ago, or delivering the kind of quiet revenge that would make Regina George from Mean Girls raise an impressed eyebrow. Others are more like Chidi Anagonye from The Good Place: deeply earnest, conflict-avoidant, and constitutionally incapable of engaging in even the smallest bit of shade. And then there are the ones who operate in a mysterious middle ground—peaceful until pushed, serene until provoked, then suddenly wielding a level of controlled pettiness worthy of a diplomatic incident.

The truth is: everyone is petty sometimes. Pettiness is a spice, a seasoning, a dramatic flourish in the otherwise ordinary soup of daily life. Maybe you mutter under your breath when someone steals your parking spot. Maybe you “accidentally” take a little longer to reply when a friend forgets your birthday. Maybe you reorganize the dishwasher after someone else loads it just to prove a silent point. Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you genuinely float through life unbothered and unshaken, sipping tea while the world around you descends into chaos.
➡️ Your Mental Health Check-In: How Are You Really Doing?
This quiz doesn’t judge you—it celebrates you. Your level of pettiness reveals how you navigate frustration, handle conflict, express boundaries, and craft your signature brand of dramatic flair (or lack thereof). Your answers will help illuminate whether you’re a full-blown petty icon, a chill soul simply vibing through life, or something in the middle: the poetic justice enthusiast who serves pettiness like a gourmet dish—only when absolutely earned.
As you move through the next eight questions, think about your instinctive reactions to small annoyances. Think about your emotional vocabulary when you're irritated. Think about how your brain operates when you're slighted: do you shrug, plot, or deliver minimalist vengeance with the precision of a master strategist? Whichever style is yours, it’s valid—and yes, it will show up loud and clear by the end of this quiz.
So take a deep breath, bring out your inner petty meter, and prepare to discover whether you’re channeling Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All At Once levels of chaotic intensity, Jim Halpert’s smugly brilliant prank energy from The Office, or the peaceful, unshakable grace of Keanu Reeves himself. By the end, you’ll know exactly where you stand on the spectrum of pettiness—and you might even laugh at how accurate it is.
