Revenge Against a Fraudulent Employee

  • 💡 A former employee, Karen, who was previously disciplined for workplace misconduct, was discovered to be playing pool weekly while on medical leave for a supposed debilitating back injury.
  • 🎯 The manager of her store, alerted to this deception, caught her in the act, leading to her termination.
  • 📌 The narrator then recounts an incident where Karen attempted to follow him home, prompting him to involve the police, who warned her to stay away or face arrest.

Recovering Stolen Electronics Through Deception

  • 🛒 After OP's car was broken into and his laptop, Switch, and other items stolen, the thief contacted him attempting to sell the laptop back.
  • 👮 OP contacted the police, who advised him to arrange a meeting, leading to the recovery of his laptops, though other items remained missing.
  • 🔍 Suspicious, OP found a Facebook Marketplace ad for his stolen Nintendo Switch, posted by the same individual.
  • 🤝 OP arranged for a friend to contact the seller, feigning interest in buying the Switch, which bought time to coordinate with the police.
  • 💰 The police successfully recovered all remaining stolen items, and the thief was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.

Neighborly Dispute Over Property Lines

  • 🏡 New neighbors, after surveying their narrow property, claimed OP's back fence encroached by 3-6 inches and demanded it be moved.
  • 😠 Despite OP's father's attempts at compromise, the neighbors were hostile and sued, forcing the fence to be moved.
  • 🐷 In retaliation, OP's father built a pig pen near the neighbors' house, knowing the smell of pig excrement from table scraps would be unbearable.
  • ⚖️ The neighbors again resorted to legal action, but lost as the area was zoned agricultural, and OP's father had followed all regulations.
  • 📉 The neighbors eventually sold their house in January, and the pig pen was removed before the new owners moved in, who became good neighbors.

Landlord's Revenge on a Deceptive Tenant

  • 💸 A tenant, Karen, repeatedly used stop payments and closed bank accounts to avoid paying rent, leading to eviction proceedings.
  • 🤥 Karen lied to the sheriff and the court, claiming a verbal deal with the landlord invalidated the eviction notice.
  • 🧐 The landlord, realizing Karen's old lease was still valid, used its clauses to his advantage.
  • ⚖️ He presented the lease terms, including late fees, daily penalties, chargeback fees, legal fees, and HVAC repair costs, totaling over $16,000.
  • 💰 The landlord received a significant bonus for resolving the situation and collecting the substantial debt from Karen.
