Judge gets even with local hotel owner for telling worker he'll fire him if he attends jury duty: ‘You can’t fire him because I say so'

Don't mess with a judge.

Bosses think they can get away with anything, and technically, they can get away with a lot, but they can't get away with messing with a judge. The person who attempted this was a hotel owner who told his maintenance worker that he was to do 'whatever it takes' to get out of jury duty. He then promptly told the worker that if he failed to do so, he would be fired. The worker was fine with serving, but he was scared of losing his job, so when he was called up to court, he told the judge the truth… that the owner of the hotel had threatened to fire him. That did not go over well with the judge, to say the least.

The hotel owner ended up regretting ever having said something… Check out below exactly why. Then, for more stories like this one, here is a tale of a landlord who entered their tenant's apartment while they were at work. They took everything in the fridge and put it on the counter, leaving it out to be spoiled.
