Boss Makes Employee Work During Lunch Break, Tells Them Not to Eat off Break


This boss didn't hesitate to send their worker out on errands during their lunch break. Eating on company time though? That was out of line. Since the understanding apparently didn't go both ways… u/unitedstatesoflabia knew that they needed to draw the line in the sand. 

Some expert Malicious Compliance would set her boss straight.


Breaks are one of the few times that you get to escape off into your own thoughts and dissociate away from the prison that can be the working day. They're essential to our sanity and well being, as well as being a legal requirement too.

I've definitely had some employment relationships in the past where there has been some mutual flexibility with break timing. But it was always with the understanding that, if I come to help with something on my lunch break, then I'm going to make it up afterwards. If I miss a lunch on a day because we're too busy? Alright, I'm taking a double lunch tomorrow. It was always win-win, and that is how it has to be. That's how you foster a stronger relationship. 

Satisfying Times People Quit An Unreasonable Boss


There is a type of boss who will take everything from you and then blame you for not trying hard enough. It's not because you're actually not working hard enough. It's because they can't be bothered to think of you as a person. They'll tell you you have no value, and then when you give any indication that you don't need to be around, they'll backpedal while still insisting that it's absurd you could possibly do better. You know, an abusive relationship.

The thing these kinds of bosses seem to forget is that you don't exist exclusively to serve them. You have a life outside of work, and work is just part of your larger, meaningful life. It's when bosses try to keep their employees from living the rest of their lives that they're given an opportunity to show off how desperately inhuman they are capable of being.

And boy is it nice to see an overworked employee make that kind of boss realize that they don't need to put up with all of it. You can almost hear the gears spinning in these jackass bosses heads as they try to come up with reasons that their own undervalued worker "needs" to stay.

For a real good one, here's this guy who let everything burn to the ground after his work messed with his vacation.

The Most Out-Of-Place Things People Found In Public Bathrooms


Public bathrooms are, at heart, a paradox. It's a public space designed to facilitate the most private of activities. Maybe the only more private activity than using the bathroom is painting your Warhammer mini figurines. But that privacy lasts forever.

But still, everything changes when you're in a public restroom. Every kind of human interaction takes on a new set of rules, from eye contact to unwarranted compliments. In everyday life it would be fine to ask a colleague if they needed help lifting something, but this universal gesture of goodwill is quizzically met with stony silence when uttered at a urinal.

The public bathroom is a zone of rigid expectations, which is why it's extra memorable to walk in on a whole Thanksgiving dinner in a toilet. We should clarify, a whole Thanksgiving dinner that hasn't been eaten yet.

It's moments like these that keep us up at night. When will the next toilet lobster find us? When will we come across a whole copy of The Declaration of Independence written on a stall door? The questions are too much. Here are some horrifying and cursed toilets.

Sister Reveals Brother's Four Illegitimate Children to Fiancé, Ruins Engagement


u/miabee02 posted to r/AITA this week regarding an incident that occurred between her and her older brother. u/miabee02 lives with her brother and has personally borne witness to some of the sleazier things that he has done to women during his, almost criminally, disastrous and delusional lifetime. 

This pillar of society has fathered four illegitimate children with different women whom he has mistreated. Only one of these four children does he have anything to do with or pay child support for. 

u/miabee02 goes on to explain that she feels like it's her brother's life and so she just stays out of it. Here's where I think that u/miabee02 is an a-hole too. At a certain point, it is our duty not to just stand on the sidelines and watch our family members enact wanton destruction of other people's lives. We have a duty to address the situation and not enable it or allow it to continue to happen. The very fact that she is still living with this guy after all that he has done is actually putting other women at risk. Likely, her presence is part of the trap into women thinking "Oh, he can't be that bad. There's another woman here."

That being said. There's nothing wrong at all with her revealing her brother's other indiscretions to a woman who thought that she was going to spend the rest of her life with this man. The fact that he hadn't told her already likely means that he was never going to.

Bank Won't Let Guy Withdraw All His Funds So He Decides to Drown Them in Perpetual Transactions


These days banks have all kinds of ridiculous fees for anything and everything you could ever imagine. Sure, I'll buy into the fact that closing or opening an account used to have a bit of administration time involved. But surely those processes are now automated at the large banks that pull this kind of crap?

How about that paper statement fee that you are automatically opted into. And are you seriously going to charge me $5 because I blinked 500 times while I was waiting in line for service?

When it comes to stuff like this there's only one thing you can do; Play the game. Which is exactly what user Creepy-Analyst has done. 

What better way to avoid fees for closing an account than this?

 

 

48 Funny Pun Business Names That Chose Cleverness


Sure, any of us could get fried eggs at "Paul's Diner" but why not take a chance on those eggs at a place called "Mother I'd Like To Cluck." Some of the more boring folks out there would prefer to get their sleeping implements for "The Mattress Warehouse." But put that drab place across the street from "Nothing Really Mattress" and see which one raises more eyebrows. What can we say, we like things that are stupid. The reason? We are stupid. It's relatable. It feels like what we would do. Like start a Star Trek themed plumbing company called "Captain's Clog." It's dumb. We're dumb. And proud of it.

It's unclear if having a pun business name is any better for business but at least it's something to look at. There's just something so awesome about an entire sign someone made just for a dumb joke. Maybe it's the sheer commitment to the bit? For the connoisseurs of sign jokes, here's a funny restaurant sign that dispensed jokes and wisdom.

Jerk Step-Brother Hijacks Engagement Party With His Baby's Gender Reveal


An entitled older stepbrother, with whom the bride-to-be has a competitive history, usurped an engagement party with news of his own. The bride-to-be sends him half the bill.

Fair is fair, right?

Take notes everyone because this is probably something that you don't want to do at your sibling's engagement party. It should be common knowledge that it's never a good idea to slap your announcement on top of someone else's celebratory event. Yet, we hear stories like this all the time. 

I'd say that the poster is, in no way, in the wrong here. It's bad form to hijack someone else's event and it's not a good sign if you also have previous history of doing things like this. 

This older brother needs to take a serious look at his life and his entitlement. Chances are that this isn't the only crap like this he is pulling to the people around him. Even if it was a one off honest mistake, he needs to take ownership of his error. 

What's your take?

Painfully Obvious Things People Didn't Realize For Way Too Long


No one likes feeling stupid. It's down there with "ugly" and "being wrong on the internet." But the weird thing about thinking stupid things is that we all do it. Being stupid is more of a temporary condition than an identity. Well, for most of us. For some of us it's a chronic, incurable condition that just gets worse and worse. But these people's stupid moments are all about learning. They're about actively becoming less stupid. And there's nothing like becoming smarter to make you realize how dumb you truly are.

It doesn't matter how long you've been on this planet or how much you know, smart people still do stupid things. Even the concept of "smartness" is variable. Anyone might know everything there is to know about brain surgery but might not know that it's stupid to put metal in the microwave. Some of us were just sick the day we learned that snow is made out of water, only to have that fact make us look like complete smooth-brains a decade later. There are too many obvious things people realize way too late.

Essential Engineer Fired For His New Supervisor's Malicious Mistake, Hired Back On Steep Contract Rate When Company Faces Millions in Losses


This worker, who was the sole person at the company who was capable of doing his job, ended up on the wrong side of a malicious manager. When the manager made an extremely obvious error and let an entire (now unstaffed) department fall over he was sure to hang it on u/PeaceNGrease

The thing is... since u/PeaceNGrease was the only person capable and qualified of doing his job, they quickly realized that they were going to lose millions of dollars. Which left u/PeaceNGrease in the ideal position to negotiate a high contracted rate to train the new hires.

The big takeaway from this story seems to be that he should have asked for more. But $20,000 is a pretty penny and will pay for a nice vacation that he wouldn't have gotten otherwise! 

For more stories about appalling management check out this guy's story about being fired for asking for a raise.

Client Tries To Screw Employee Over By Locking Them Out Of System, Totally Backfires


They say "man makes plans and god laughs." They also say "fail to prepare, prepare to fail." So who's right? Should we expect reasonable outcomes to happen or shouldn't we? Maybe figures-of-speech don't actually mean anything until they can be applied after the fact. Isn't language stupid?

Anyway, this client had his own plan to save some money by not paying for this guy's services, and it just so happens that this employee prepared for that possibility. Maybe the lesson here is "if you're going to work for a bastard, prepare to be the bigger bastard." And bastard away this IT guy certainly did, to the tune of some satisfying justice.

There's just something so sinfully sweet about a proper jerk getting their righteous comeuppance when it's all said and done. This client tried real hard to screw over a completely well-meaning employee by locking them out of the system. Well, that definitely backfired in glorious fashion. For another tale of pro revenge check out the time that a scummy collection agency attempted to mess with a guy's credit score

Insane Boss Tries to Fire Woman For "Being Pregnant", Police Get Involved, Meltdown Ensues


Imagine thinking that you could get away with firing a pregnant employee. Imagine thinking you could pull this off and not have it blow up in your face.

Especially when the person who you are trying to fire has completed essential work that they won't release to you until you pay them the money they are owed.

Well, that's what u/joke-on-you9719's politician boss tried to pull when they were due for a raise while working on a hard-fought campaign. It's almost as if this politician hadn't thought this one all the way through and was blinded by greed (no surprise there) at the chance to save a quick buck.

It's probably best that they aren't currently elected into their local government but, unfortunately, other idiots like this seem to keep slipping through.

Tumblr Thread: Literary Coincidences Get Authors In Hot Water


It's pretty wild to imagine yourself in a scenario where you're literally being interrogated by the authorities because of a purely fictional spy story that you wrote that just so happened to come way too close to a real life spy situation. How were you supposed to know that making highly educated guesses about ships could be a threat to national security? Honestly it's kind of on the government for making a tool of war that's so easy to just make up in your head. Maybe Tom Clancy should have gone the other way with it, made it really obviously fictional and wrote garbage like "and then General Supercommander Smith climbed through the colorful ball pit, took the slide down to maintenance, and then took one of those single-chair wall-mounted-escalators-they-make-for-old-people up to the president of the boat's office." That would have gotten everyone off his back.

People Share the Craziest Things Their Exes Did After Breakups


Consider yourself lucky if you don't have an ex who makes this list. There are clearly some real winners out there and it makes you wonder what was worth dating about them in the first place. 

How do you live with somebody for two years just to have them turn around and go completely psycho on you over the breakup? I'm sure a lot of us have done things in the heat of the moment that we weren't proud of... But the premeditation and determination in some of these is off the wall.

Take, for example, EternalCamper's girlfriend who made threats of self-harm after their breakup. Take, scienceisanart's example where her ex tried to frame her for stalking him and even claimed to have security footage of the fact. The thing was, scienceisanart was living in a completely different state at the time! So it would have been impossible for her to even have been remotely close enough for the alleged claims to occur. 

Crazy is as crazy does I suppose.

Entitled Mom Wants Goldfish Snack, Gets Turned Down, Pitches Fit


Picture this: You're a grown-up, right? Or at least your the size of one. The amount of neurons firing off in your head is debatable, but from the outside you at least look like the kind of person who can hold down a job and wash themselves one to four times a week. You even have a family of NPCs that appears to love you. You get on a plane and eat your kid's goldfish snack, because after all, you are the main character in all of reality. All of a sudden your kid is looking for their snack because some jerk ate it, and there's a perfectly good snack in the hands of a complete stranger. Obviously this person is beholden to your demands, right? They're not even a named character in the odyssey of your life! For them not to give you their goldfish would be nothing short of abuse.

There's something about the wildly entitled people of this world, where they end up staging the most memorable of meltdowns whenever they get righteously rejected. In this case, it sounds like the mom was being the very living definition of entitled. And naturally, upon being called out on her antics she makes it about herself. 

Dad Gets Nuclear Revenge On Neighbors After They Ruin His Son’s Birthday Party


There's nothing worse than not getting along with your neighbors. Stuck side by side in what seems to be an eternal battle between two unmovable forces. It's the kind of thing that would you constantly on edge and there's nothing worse than being on edge in your own home.

These neighbors sound awful and intolerant from the way the story goes but part of me wouldn't be surprised if there was another side to the story. The gathering of a large number of people is noisy by nature, whether there's music or not, voices vying to be heard over one another can get quite loud and carry quite far. Especially when it gets late.

Regardless, it's a trashy and insane move by the neighbor to pop the kid's ball. Maybe even more insane to exact revenge every day for the next two years.

Twitter Gems Tweeted From Twitter's Twitterrific Tweeters


Sometimes, it's nice to take a break from all the arguing and panic-inducing headlines that can often break out in the vast world of Twitter. Instead, it can be fun to turn the attention towards what kinds of funny and downright strange observations that Twitter's wandering minds have decided to shoot out into the internet. This batch of Twitter gems certainly didn't disappoint. For some more gold from the Twitter world, go ahead and check out this collection of comedy gems from Tony Hawk on Twitter

Decades ago no one would probably want a direct line into a space that holds millions of people's most passing stupid thoughts, but as it turns out, it's a fun place to spend your time. It's those stupid errant thoughts that give life shape and context. Not meaning, no not that. Absolutely, definitely not that. But definitely some zest. The wackiness certainly makes things spicier.

20 Amazing Movies That Had Terrible 'Dumpster-Fire' Sequels


There's nothing like a fresh idea from Hollywood. Unfortunately, it happens less and less and less as time goes on as studios invest in "safer" bets. In the form of sequels (or prequels) of established franchises, remakes, and 'trending' adaptations. While this gives studios a more reliable return on investment, it sure makes the list of upcoming movies incredibly dull for the rest of us. Remember when the trailer reel before your feature presentation felt like an onslaught of incredible new ideas? Maybe it's just the rose-tinted glasses that I'm looking through and I'm the one who has gotten stale and boring. But something has changed.

No, thank you Hollywood. We didn't need more epic big screen adaptations like we had in the early 2000's with massive undertakings like the Lord of the Rings, I'd rather sit through an abhorrent remake of Ghost Busters after a trailer for Mulan 5. 



For the record, since it's in the thumbnail... The only thing good about the first Pacific Rim was that it was a novel idea and had big heavy robots. The pacing was inconsistent, the writing was dull and the plot was uninspired.

But I digress. Here are some truly terrible sequels that came in the wake of well received blockbusters and cult classics.


The Stupidest Reasons Companies Fired People


Sometimes we get an awful reminder that we're just pawns in someone's idiotic game. With the wrong boss, we can be like clay in the hands of a bored, incompetent god. One who would rather fire someone than take the blame for their own mistakes or have a single difficult conversation. At least the good thing about getting fired for a stupid reason is that you no longer have to work for a complete idiot.

Unfortunately, a ton of us have had our run-ins with being fired from companies over the dumbest matters. Honestly, sometimes it can end up being for the best. Life is far too short to put yourself through nothing short of a hellish experience just because you're committed to chasing the next paycheck. There's always going to be another gig out there that can pay you a decent enough amount of money, without you having to bid farewell to your soul in the process. Sometimes just quitting the job in the first place or getting fired, actually opens up the opportunity for a far better job to present itself. For some more career drama check out some of the biggest red flags that people got during their job interviews

Guy Gives Doctor's Billing Company the Same Treatment They Gave Him and Costs Them a Client


What's that old saying... You get what you give? And no we're not talking about the Free Radicals here. 

This is another story a lot of us can probably relate to in one way or another... A massive paper-pushing organization refuses to release to you money owed and every time you phone in you get someone different who has "no idea what you're talking about." There's never any continuity to your file and sometimes it just feels like you're going backward for months on end. It's probably one of the dumbest things a company can do.

This guy has done what a lot of us probably wish that we could. By leaving his doctor a terrible yelp review (specifically mentioning the billing company) he has put the pressure onto them in a way that they couldn't handle. Probably a good result when you get a call from the CEO of the company. Seems like he just cost them a major client by doing to them exactly what they did to him.

Video of Man Avoiding Citizenship Question at U.S. Border By Talking About the Bible Goes Viral and Sparks Hilarious Controversy


A better question than 'Are you a citizen?' is 'Are you saved?' This guy gave this technique a whirl, and instead of people getting upset, they're just hilariously impressed. 

Temp Tries to Gatekeep Coworker’s Nationality, Spreads Gossip That He’s Lying About Place of Birth


This troublesome new temp tried to tell her recruiter that he wasn't British enough to claim that Nationality. She further told others that he was lying "for clout". She knew better because she was dating a British fellow and "knew how they act."

That's when u/ArtfulMortician knew that he had to ascend to his final form and personify every British stereotype under the sun.

People will gatekeep anything and everything. Good luck trying to pickup a new hobby or join a new community these days. 

Where there is a thing to be done or a fandom to follow as soon as you sign up you are going to be confronted by the Uber Fan. This Uber Fan has done everything possible to make this fandom or hobby their entire identity and they are determined to keep everyone else out in order to secure the self-perceived fragility of their existence. You being there and new is a threat to them. Where they should be offering support and nurturing their community they, instead, are going to stonewall, gatekeep, and otherwise use their influence to sustain their dominance. 

Doing this on something like someone's own nationality is somehow even more insane. Imagine telling someone that they don't deserve to consider themselves to be a part of their own nationality?

People Share Their Most Controversial Food Opinions


People are fiercely dependent of their food preferences, to the point that they are willing to argue for the torture and imprisonment of people who don't like olives. Even people who seem reasonable on any other subject will look you directly in the eyes and say "mac and cheese is the only good food. It is all that I eat, and all anyone should ever eat. Anyone who doesn't believe that should be put to death." And you go "jeez boss I was just asking if you wanted these reports by tomorrow."

Maybe it's because food is one of those things that seems like a ubiquitous physical reality. We like to imagine that all people are experiencing life in the same way, but lo and behold two people can both try the same soup and have vastly different opinions on it. The politics, costs, and even risks of certain food items have effects on our lives that frankly almost none of us like to admit.

And then there are the mental barriers people put up around food in general. Even today there are people who refuse to admit that lobster is an armored sea bug. Yeah, it's a luxury, but lady, look at all the legs.

So here are some of people's insightful/stupid opinions on food, depending on how much you agree with them. And here are some of the worst foods people have eaten.

Funny Pizza Place Signs That Were Sufficiently Saucy And Cheesy


We like a good sign joke. Maybe it's because we appreciate the effort it takes to pull out 30 foot-tall plastic letters, arrange them in the right order, and spend a half hour with a big long suction-cup pole slapping those bad boys up there. It's an amount of time that truly makes you rethink whether or not your joke is worth it, and these people pushed through to make public their truly dumb pizza thoughts.

It's not exactly fun making pizzas all day, so we're glad that people are making their own fun where they can, to be seen by equally bored passerby's. Sometimes all it takes to turn your day around is knowing that someone else out there feels just as resigned as you, and all they have left is the part of the day when they get to tell people off-color jokes about the new specials.

Our hats are off to the sign people, may you ride into the sunset on your suction-cup pole like a witch on a broomstick.

Here are some more funny sign jokes for people who like their jokes on a literal post.

New Owner Orchestrates Own Obliteration, Fires Employee Who Owns Essential Patents


A new owner stepped in to take over a machine shop and began with the trimming of the fat. The logistical consultant found himself in the crosshairs.

This type of behavior is to be expected these days whenever a new owner steps in to take control of a business. An ever increasing number of these disastrous experiences  seem to involve a rash, relatively inexperienced, individual who thinks that they know better than the staff who are a part of the furniture. 

That may be well and good in some of these failing business that have been mismanaged or are grossly over staffed. 

A great example of this would probably be Peloton (that overpriced indoor bike) which has recently cut 2800 jobs. Quite frankly, I was surprised to find out that they even employed that many people

As the new owner was chopping heads logistical consultant, u/NotLagRange, found his head placed on the chopping block. 

"He did not understand what exactly my job was and thought it was unnecessary. I could tell he was just waiting for my contract negotiation." States u/NotLagRange.

Sure enough, when the time of reckoning came, it became clear just how undervalued u/NotLagRange was. The new owner seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that u/NotLagRange held essential patents to the logistics of the business and the new owner was further belligerent and unwilling to budge on terms.

This would eventually lead to the absolute obliteration of the company and u/NotLagRange's ultimate revenge. 

According to his updates, U/NotLagRange has taken the advice of the commenters and is now seeking to attend the bankruptcy auction for his former company in order to take over their assets and their business. Business which he, conveniently, holds multiple patents to. 

You gotta love it when a plan comes together.

Woman Catches Lunch Thieving Coworker Red-Handed, Puts Him on Blast in Front of Everyone


Redditor, u/steelsnapdragon, recently started a new job at a small studio. When you start a new job there's always a load of scenarios running through your mind. There's nothing like a completely new environment, set of rules, and set of rules to get the old anxiety running circles.

What do I wear? Will I dress too casually? What about too formally? How should I do my hair? Are piercings ok? What about my new neck tattoo?

There's other little things you still need to learn too that only come with time. Like who has all the good workflow shortcuts and who you should avoid at all costs in the break room to avoid seeing the same baby photographed from different angles for the 100th time (looking at you Kaitlyn.)

The LAST thing you're expecting to have to deal; with at your new gig, pretty much the last thing you'd expect to encounter… Is walking into the break room to find some other cheeky bloke chowing down on your grub.

Scumbag Tries to Force College Girl to Push Past Him on the Bus, She Does Exactly That


When u/voldenope was taking the bus to her university it was always loaded up with people. She always got on first, because of where she lived along the route, so always ended up in the window seat with someone seated in the aisle seat next to her.

On this particular day, she found herself next to a seedy, unsavory sort of gentleman who appeared to be in his 40s. As soon as he sat down next to her he immediately began encroaching in her space. 

Space encroaching is one thing, but he proceeded to make full contact of his leg against hers. The thought of this makes my skin crawl. I can't imagine making physical contact with a full-blown stranger on public transport and being totally oblivious to that fact. In fact, I would be horrified. 

Once it was her stop to get off she asked if he could please slide out of his seat for a moment so that she could get off.

This is when he revealed his true colors.

Nutjob Temp Conspires to Get Guy Fired, He Turns the Tables and Sends Her Packing


When u/ManElegant's office brought in a new temp to cover for an executive assistant who was away on maternity leave, he was certain to be pleasant to her. As u/ManElegant notes in his story, "I'd spoken to her twice maybe three and was incredibly nice; I make it my business to be nice to everyone." 

He was unaware of the fact that this temp, referred to in the story as such, was already conspiring against him. For some unknown reason she had a bone to pick and was determined to build a case against him to get him fired.

What had he done wrong? Who can say. Maybe he reminded her of somebody who had wronged her. Maybe he killed her father during the start of the film and this was her plot for ultimate revenge. 

Usually revenge films don't end like this one though. Because if it was, the "bad guy" would be getting off scot-free as u/ManElegant, through some foresight and sheer luck, manager to turn the tables on this professional victim.


Twitter Users Get Nostalgic Over Sexy Old Ovens


Why do all kitchen appliances have to look like they're from the future? Sure they have a "clean" look about them, but why should a refrigerator be designed to look like it can go fast? It's still a refrigerator.

There was a time when ovens were green and weighed like a thousand pounds. They weren't exactly energy efficient and they were a weird lime/avocado green or tan color. They all had coils that suspiciously matched a scar or two on our siblings, and our childhoods wouldn't be quite the same without them. After a few decades of these, most people figured they should get something shinier, but some still remain. If there's anything that looks like it's cooked some serious grandma meals, this is one of those.

One look at one of these things and it's easy to imagine the thousands of pot roasts that slid in and out of there. The countless fried eggs slopping around in delicious grease. The knives heated up for one reason or another. Cutting cold butter. Sure, that's it.

@Timonthetractor took notice of one of these marvels of many a household, and people of the interwebs chimed in.


Scammer Pretends To Be Hit-And-Run Victim, Gets Found Out


This person was just trying to do the right thing after their car accidentally drifted on ice and tore a nice scratch into a stranger's vehicle. They left a note with their info, but when someone contacted them, it wasn't totally clear if the person was who they claimed to be. After being asked for proof of car ownership, it became obvious that they didn't want to provide a video of themselves unlocking "their own car" and opted to send a few photos. Those photos in question not only ended up being straight off the internet, but also they weren't even photos of the same car. When pressed on this issue, our mysterious stranger chose to double down, like a true moron.

At the end of the day, it really just sucks for the actual owner of the car who will never know that the person who left a scratch was actually willing to pay for it.

For some more tales from the world of dumb scammers, here's the guy who beat a craigslist scammer at their own game as well as another guy who gave a scammer a dose of their own medicine.

Scum Lord Tries Evicting Tenants On False Evidence, They Get Revenge In Court and Paint


It's not like every single landlord is an underhanded, conniving bastard, but there are a striking number of landlords who are. It's an industry based exclusively on getting money from just owning something, so naturally it's going to attract dirt bags like your mom's stall attracts flies.

In this case, we have a landlord who had a grand idea to come up with a bunch of fake reasons to evict their tenants in order to jack up the rent and make off like a bandit. The tenants slowly caught wind of this, the way I caught wind of your mom the other day while walking by the pasture.

The tenants took what liberties and paint they had on hand to make the transition as inconvenient as possible. Think of it as returning the favor to the type of gentleman who thought nothing of making people homeless for no purpose other than their own greed. And in the end, this landlord was left with a big long face that looks strikingly like your mom.

For another tale of petty landlord revenge, here's the landlord who tried to keep a security deposit and petty revenge ensued.
