trolling

There's nothing that melts our hearts quite like a scammer getting their time wasted, after trying to waste someone else's time (and money). This particular scammer got taken on the kind of journey that we could only hope taught him a necessary lesson. And that lesson is to NOT be a scammer. They are the bane of everyone's existence. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book. 

Irish writer Seamus O'Reilly has been trolling newspapers like Metro with "Rush Hour Crush" letters and stories of good samaritans. Though a lot of them get rejected, these hilarious fake stories have made it in the paper more than a few times. As O'Reilly told Mashable, "It's not for me to say I'm a genius of the short form letter gag. That's for others to say. On a near constant basis. To every single person that they meet." Enjoy.

If there was a better way to troll entitled folks and their frustrating demands, well we'd have to see it. As for artists who deliberately make bad art to mess with people who want free stuff, we're all for it.
