Reddit user Angrycat11111 wanted to install a water shut-off valve on her property, but the city workers who were supposed to do it came over, acting incredibly rude and making it the homeowner’s problem—not theirs.

However, the woman wasn’t going to let it slide and found the perfect way to get back at them!
