Don't mess with college kids–what they lack in financial resources, they make up for in social alliances.

The college kids in our next story were incredibly resourceful when it came to revenge. After a year of living in a house near campus, they spent days cleaning up the place so that they could get back their deposit (which was more than 4 months' rent!). With the house neat and tidy they had no doubts they'd be getting back some cash at the end of the year, but their greedy landlord used a petty clause in their paperwork claiming they violated their lease by not providing a future address to forward the check.

Angry that they lost thousands of dollars, the housemates banded together to form an epic revenge plan that required another year of planning to execute. Scroll for the entire story of how these kids got payback against a greedy landlord by befriending his new tenants, throwing a rager end-of-the-year party, and trashing their old house.
