Spiteful about little things (5)

I believe the answer is:

petty

(Other definitions for petty that I've seen before include "This cash is of a trivial amount" , "Insignificant or trivial" , "Inferior" , "Marked by narrowness of mind" , "Insignificant and smallminded" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
