There are a lot of good people in the world. But, let’s face it, for all the good folks out there, there are also jerks.
Some may find this harsh language, but according to the dictionary, the definition of a jerk is “a contemptibly obnoxious person” — and boy, do we all know a few of those.
This breed of human being usually tries to one-up decent, hard-working individuals by being sly and finding loopholes. And sometimes they do find a few to make their dastardly schemes work, but it’s so rewarding when they get what the deserve.
Especially when the person they’re trying to pull a quick one on, gets revenge on them.
If you like those kinds of stories, I’ve got a good one for you today. If you’ve had a rough day, or just like seeing people get their just desserts, I highly suggest you read this. It’s very satisfying!

“A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars and then insured them against fire, among other things.”
“Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars — and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy — the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost 'in a series of small fires.'
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: the man had consumed his cigars in the normal fashion.”
“The lawyer sued — and won! In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous.
The judge stated, nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable, and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire — without defining what is considered to be 'unacceptable' fire — and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the ‘fires.’ "
"But after the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine."
