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!
This mother is amazed by the differing skin tones of her twins and wonders what caused it…
In April 2022, Englishwoman Chantelle Broughton, 29, gave birth to twins, Azirah and Ayon. The twins looked exactly alike at first, but as they developed, some noticeable distinctions became apparent.
While Ayon’s complexion remained pale and his eyes remained a stunning blue, Azirah’s skin darkened and her eyes took on a warm brown hue. Their mother found these shifts fascinating and felt that they emphasized the special qualities of their development.
Because of their multiple racial backgrounds, Chantelle and her husband’s children have a diversified genetic make-up. While Chantelle’s paternal grandfather was Scottish and had Jamaican connections, her maternal grandfather was Nigerian. The twins’ unique physical characteristics were impacted by their multiracial ancestry.
Because of the twins’ dissimilar looks, Chantelle frequently gets questions from people while the family is out. Even though they are identical twins, Azirah and Ayon have different personalities: Azirah is quiet and obedient, whilst Ayon is energetic.
According to experts, differences in the color of a twin’s skin and eyes can be caused by genetic factors, especially in families where one of the parents is not white. Ayon and Azirah exhibit astonishing and gorgeous diversity, which is the result of unusual genetic pairings in Chantelle’s family.
