Man Tries To Stiff IT Employee On Payment, Gets Served Mechanics Lien

Few things are lower in this life than refusing to make good on payment for services rendered. You get someone to spend their precious time working for you? You pay them. You pay them in a timely manner. You don't do what this Reddit user's client did — allow u/asanatheistfilms to go through the trouble of installing an entire computer server system and then lie that it didn't work in order to skip out on a payment. Did they think it was going to be that easy?

The original poster's response here is what really warms our cold hearts. Basically, our villain of the story ends up being served a righteous mechanics lien after refusing to make good on the payment that he owed, losing the equipment altogether. What's more? The OP wound up finding a way to charge this client $15,000 in cash to re-install it (because after all, they are professional) and earned the bonus satisfaction of counting it in front of their awful client. You really should never mess with IT. When are these people going to learn?
