When our landlord hiked our rent by $650, it was the last straw. Living in a rundown apartment with a broken fridge and constant harassment pushed us to the edge. Determined to get revenge, we concocted a clever plan to make him regret his greed and teach him an unforgettable lesson.
Dennis here. Let me tell you about the time my wife, Amber, and I dealt with the landlord from hell while saving for our dream house. It’s been a rollercoaster, but we learned a lot along the way
So, picture this: Amber and I moved into this tiny, run-down apartment a little over a year ago.
We were pinching pennies, trying to save up for a place of our own. The apartment was our stepping stone. Small, but we made it work. Amber decorated the place with some second-hand finds and DIY projects. I swear, she can make anything look good.
The trouble started right from the get-go.
We met our landlord, Mr. Williams, during the lease signing. Now, this guy looked like he had stepped right out of a 1980s corporate villain movie. Slicked-back hair, smug smile, and a suit that screamed “I have power, and I love it.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams,” Amber said, ever the polite one.
“Likewise,” he replied, barely looking up from the paperwork. “Let’s get this done quickly. I have other matters to attend to.”
We went through the motions, signing here and there. And then, like an idiot, I mentioned my income.
Amber and I brainstormed over a couple of beers one night, sketching out ideas on a napkin. We needed something that would hit Mr. Williams where it hurt but couldn’t be traced back to us.
Then it hit us—smells. Horrible, pervasive, can’t-get-rid-of-them smells.
“Alright,” I said, leaning back with a grin. “We need tuna, rotten eggs, milk, and dead mice.”
Amber chuckled. “This is going to be epic.”
We removed the tuna, cleaned out the rotten eggs, scrubbed the milk stains, and disposed of the dead mice. The smell finally began to dissipate.
“Good riddance,” Amber said, wiping her hands. “I hope he learned his lesson.”
And there you have it. The story of how we turned the tables on our greedy landlord and got the justice we deserved. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember: a little creativity and a lot of determination can go a long way!
What Catches Your Attention Right Away?
Optical illusions have long fascinated us because they draw our attention and pose intriguing questions that are occasionally left unanswered.
These arresting images not only grab our attention, but they also lead us on a deeply reflective journey that highlights the subtle differences in our perception.
Our exclusive collection of optical illusions will make you doubt who you think you are. They might share some enlightening details about your background and personality.
What catches your eye first?
This image is potent because it conveys your perspective of both the outside world and who you are. If you are the first person to notice a duck, you are probably a gregarious person who enjoys socializing. You are able to think fast, act fast, and perform effectively under duress.
If you are someone who believes that if you detect a rabbit at first, you should go for it slowly. This suggests that you would like carefully weigh your options before settling on a thought and are reluctant to commit to one.
When you want anything done right, you follow the right procedure. In addition, you are generally a more introverted person than other people. I guess I might characterize myself as an introvert. You place greater value on having a select few close friends than you do on having a vast social network.
Which is it? The Profiled Faces or the Vase?
This optical illusion was created by Danish psychologist and philosopher Edgar John Rubin to aid individuals in understanding their benefits and drawbacks. Having two faces increases your ability to notice even the smallest details and provides you with a natural understanding of a wide range of vocations.
If your attention was initially drawn to the vase, you are the type of person who tends to overlook the little things and is naturally drawn to the bigger picture.
An older man or a young woman?
One of two images may immediately register in your mind. You are a thorough examiner if you see the old man with the big nose peering down. You may find it difficult to apply your critical thinking skill because you have a tendency to overanalyze. This is primarily due to your exceptional emotional awareness and understanding.
The moment you spot the woman turning away, you get impetuous and want to get things done swiftly. You have a unique zest for life since your optimism complements your fearless demeanor.
Which woman—older or younger—do you believe she is?
Your perception of this image may change depending on your age. If you see the girl turning away, you are most likely still young. However, it appears from the older woman’s appearance that you have a great deal of life experience. A study that looked into this phenomenon was published in the academic journal Scholarly Reports.
