Those phone calls are almost as expensive as talking to local singles in your area. Usually having a stupid and demanding boss doesn't leave you with getting paid thousands of dollars for doing almost no work, but seeing it happen here is encouraging. Dumb bosses usually just make people frustrated or cause everyone to quit at once. Honestly, this story just makes us want to be programming contractors now. 

Dad took a calm and calculated revenge on a cheap contractor who was trying to pull one over on him and other clients. He pulled off his revenge by putting liens down on different lots that the contractor had expressed interest in. From there the contractor was stonewalled from being able to pick up any more work on the lots, so he sued the dad and his family. Therein lies his biggest mistake. He should've just paid for the repairs that the dad asked him to pay, but instead he ended up losing $50K in court. 

Brazilian Maria Fernanda, is making bank off her cosplaying efforts on Instagram. She employed her cosplay skills on Instagram to rack up a sizable following, and eventually was able to monetize her account. Apparently Influencer Marketing Hub estimates that each of her posts on Instagram generates anywhere between $782 and $1,213. That ain't too shabby at all for a little work on Instagram posts. 

This post office employee's co-worker selfishly and lazily lied his way out of multiple morning shifts, to such an extent that he ended up costing him hard-earned time off. So, post office employee decides to put in his two week notice, and he times his exit for right when lazy lying co-worker "Bill" had planned to take his honeymoon. 

Karma sucks, Bill. 

This neighbor boldly took things into his own hands when he found himself dealing with a crowd of unruly neighbors that refused to acknowledge his requests for them to respect his private property. He maintained a cool and calculated demeanor and wasn't phased by a cop who was in on the whole thing too! 

This Uber driver showed up and helped a troubled young woman in the middle of an unnerving date with the King of Creepy Nice Guys, out of a dicey situation. This would be a great marketing campaign for Uber. 

Landlords always seem to promise things like working dishwashers and hot water, but sometimes fall short of their ability to provide an adequate living situation in exchange for your cash. Rent is expensive too, so paying a whole lot to live in a place with a terrible landlord who doesn't fix anything is an absolute nightmare. When this woman's boyfriend was being taken advantage of, she stepped in and made it too expensive for the landlord to NOT get the washing machine fixed.

This clever mastermind took his revenge on a pen thief co-worker by hiding a pink ink cartridge in his black pen at work. The big kicker here is that the nature of his work was such that it was taboo for any of the employees to use anything other than a black pen for their work orders. You can imagine how things went when the pen thief went and used a pink pen on a work order. They were made to look like a proper idiot. 

This reviewer had the nerve to call a suitable response to their insulting offer "unprofessional" and inadvertently went in for round two. The world is full of frustrating cheapskates, but when someone leaves a ridiculous review like this they leave themselves open for an utter takedown of their entire character.

As a Yelp business owner sometimes the best way for you to deal with a lying and testy customer is to treat them with the facts. You can't argue with the facts, and you ultimately come out of the situation looking like a boss, while the customer looks like a mindless idiot. 

A bad boss can make or break a whole company. Sometimes they can even make everyone quit at once. Here's a good reminder that even if you feel stuck at a crappy job, you can evaluate your skills and may realize that you totally don't have to put up with the BS that a bad boss sticks you with daily.

If you've ever had your schedule at the beckon call of a city bus, there's certainly a time when you've cursed God for being seconds too late. This story at least makes up for a few of those times. Nothing rings in the ears of a malicious driver like the phrase "I am taking this bus." Tumblr is home to a wealth of fun stories, like these ones about genuinely innocent dude stories.
