'Oops, I've overpaid my bills': Programmer uses skills to program a system to mess with his former apartment manager

I should be able to repeat a few well-known sayings in my sleep by now. My favorite phrase and the one I have to swear by is 'live within your means'. In case you haven't noticed already, the theme of this delightfully intriguing tale will be money—perhaps the most despicable topic in history. However, I guess it gets less painful, and possibly even funny, when we talk about other people's money.

The story below is an account of a cynical tenant who has come up with a very creative strategy to antagonize the apartment management company. Due to his extensive background in computer science, OP has devised a clever method to quietly retaliate against the company for its absurdly ridiculous demand of a two-cent fee. I mean, I hold myself to a fairly high standard and I could never have come up with such a brilliant plan myself. Therefore, from one malicious individual to another, I genuinely admire your commitment to the task. So, if you're curious and want to find out what happened between OP and the apartment management company keep on scrolling! And after you're done, check out the story about the supervisor who mistakenly targets his top-performing mechanic here!
