Utilities Spike
Fred’s rent payments covered a flat fee for utilities in his apartment, which was unchanged from month to month because the separate apartments in the building ran on one meter. So, Fred’s plan for revenge was simple. He told his landlord that as long as he wanted to persist with his demands, Fred would be inclined to leave all of his windows open, crank up the heater, open his refrigerator door and run all faucets 24/7. And, he would give his landlord a good reason not to ask him to knock it off.
