-Look, this trope and the "Poke the poodle" one refer to motivation, not to the level of the action. "Poke The Poodle" is for people who treat making inconveniences to others as if they were doing Big Schemes to Destroy the World. A villain who is under Evil Is Petty does things that ''seem'' pokingpoodleish in appearance, but are motivated by the same hatred of others as their world destruction schemes. For Evil is Petty, no shit is too minor to fling it to others.

-Even by the dictionary definition you posted, the name of the trope still applies. Is as petty to ruin a life of a person because you don't like their hairdo they were wearing one day, than to destroy a person 'do and steal all hair products from the local mart because you hate hair in principle. For some isn't enough to ruin their enemies lives, they also must be sure that their enemies had their daily lives equally miserable in seemingly minor ways, like having all their candy stolen and all the creamer changed for their least favorite brand.

 If you think some examples are better in "Poke the Poodle", move them. If you think that it refers to another trope, bring your trope idea to the forums or the workshop. If you have a better name, propose it. For me, the name should stay, because it's reasonably accurate for the trope.
