'According to these guys... I did not know what I was talking about': Clever homeowner gets petty revenge on water department after they belittle her intelligence

Water department workers totally underestimated this woman who just wanted some work done at her house. The OP, u/Angrycat11111, shared her story to r/pettyrevenge, and as she tells it, she was trying to install a shutoff valve in her house. 

Since the house was a bit old, the OP had a problem. She wanted to turn off the water in her house, but that isn't as easy as it sounds at this house. She called the water department to shut her water off since it was impossible to do without their help. However, these workers were pretty condescending to this woman. They treated her like there was nothing they could do to help her. So, this woman went along with their solution, to the water department's surprise. 

Scroll down to read all about this smart woman's plan to get her water shut off. Then, these people tweeted and deleted – but we've got the hilarious proof that they wrote out some goofy nonsense.
