Speaker 2 (00:50):
Sandy out of Springfield. You have a confession for cash
for us?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I do.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Indeed, I'm a house payment and I took revenge on
a client by stinking up her house so badly that
you couldn't even sell it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So what was why did you have to take revenge?
What did this client do to you as a housepainter?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Okay, so aside from not paying her invoice, I'm talking
it was six months after the date off the news
that she still hadn't paid her invoice. Prior to that,
the actual painting of the house, she had cats, so
I would have to clear each room and top to
bottom get the cat hair out, which was great fun.
(01:30):
As you can imagine. But every night she would put
them buggies back in the room that I'd painted each
room just I don't know if it was just to
be cruel or what. And yeah, so then she would
keep doing that, and I'm like, bude, you gotta like
house paints sticky. Not right, I have.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Fresh paint on the walls, and now you got cat
hair on the fresh walls.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
A job that should have taken a week and a
half to do ended up taking me a month, which
as a business owner you can't afford that, especially being
fresh out. You know. Yeah, it was pretty decent. It
was two story high set place. So yeah, it was
(02:13):
about twelve twelve and a half thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Holy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And so then you sent her the invoice and what happened?
Speaker 6 (02:21):
So then you always do your defects and I'll come
back nine times I went back to that house for defects,
something as small as you know, a boro, the tip
of a boro flood though, yeah, tiny little spot, yep.
And it's from her cat, always the cat.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
How many cats did she have? This lad?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
There was something like seven cats in that coun Oh
my goodness. And I was like, why did I do this?
I learned I learned my own lesson, though I did
learn a lesson to if they annoy me on quote
add more yea more expensive, they don't want me.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So she didn't pay six months.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Yeah, So I was invoicing her on a weekly basis
and trying to get hold of her and whatnot, because
you know, twelve and a half thousand dollars is quite
a lot of money. And I was reading the pay
off and her house was up for sail, and it
was opened the house inspection on the Saturday. So I thought,
I'm going to pop in and say it. So I
went in and I took three of my friends with me.
(03:22):
Didn't tell my friends what I was going to do,
but it took them with me to distract anyone else
that was in the house. And I, you know, the
top bit of a fan. Yeah, So I pulled them
down and I put the can of the little snack tuno,
opened a can of snacks there in it, and put
it in every room I could get to without someone
(03:42):
being just popped it back up, like can you know,
just cracked the can and put it up in there
on Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Cat back on and then you shouldn't how many cans
I ended up using four and you don't get it downstairs.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
No, I'm pretty driven the that's three friends with me,
you know. And that's why I picked Tuna was because
of the ca Yeah, so I was like, I'll fix you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was it just to send the cats crazy or it
was just to make the house stink?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It was just like literally the last pane call I
made to her was the day before her open him
months and she was just rude and obnoxious and she's like,
well after tomorrow, it's not like you going to know
where I am to get your money anyway. That just
cooked on a cake.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I was like, yeah, nah, So did you do you
know if it had any impact? Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:46):
So about six to eight months later, I was doing
a house on the same street and I was just
painting away. An old mate was on the phone to
whoever and he was saying about the house down the road.
The poor bugger couldn't sell the house because it stunk
so badly and they still can't find the sauce. Honestly,
(05:10):
you don't often get to see karma, but.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah, that day.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Do you ever think it's sounding like an an anonymous
letter saying just check your.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
No, because that's like that's a mission of silk, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And you know what, we don't know who you are,
We don't know where you live. Your name is fake,
your suburb is fake. And for that amazing confession, you
have just scored yourself five hundred bucks. What Yeah, it

Yeah, good morning guys. About twenty years ago I had
a landscape contracting business and we were doing work on
the Gold Coast for a builder's owner home and three
carps away through he went fast and owed me seventy
thousand dollars. We had already planted all the mature palms
(10:32):
and lawn and put in this fancy irrigation system. So
one of my boys, without me knowing, went back and
it has a reservoir for putting fertilizer in, so he
went back and he put in a few liters around us.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh so when the sprinklers went on and poisoned all
the players.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
It killed everything. And I'm told it actually killed in
the runoff because it just kept going because he adjusted
the time and so I just kept going. That killed
most of the neighbors stuff as well.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's so good.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
But did you ever hear from him again, Rob?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
No, no. We we actually went to small claims to
try and get it, but by that time, you know,
he had rebirtht business and I'd moved on. I went
and drove a cab and started my career again. Because
he Yeah.
