After Elly’s last parent passed away, she decided to sell their house. The new owners of the house were maniacs with weird requests. Two days after the deal was done, they called Elly.

They stated that Elly should come and pick the “garbage” in the garage her parents left. Elly was shocked, because there was no garbage in the house. They threatened her with cleaning costs.

She took a day off from work and went to pick up the “garbages.”

Once she was there, she was shocked because the garbage the new owners called were the construction materials like extra hardwood flooring, custom tiles, expensive light bulbs for the high-end lighting fixtures, and custom paint cans.

These were expensive items, which they might needed, but hey! It was their call.

Few hours later Elly collected each item, and went back home. On the other hand, the new owners were going to renovate the home, but they now lack items for it.

“I hope you’re planning to take all of that with you. We don’t need any of your junk cluttering up our space.” The wife grinned.

“Junk?” Elly laughed. “This ‘junk’ is worth a lot more than you realize. Extra flooring, custom tiles, specialty light bulbs, and paint with the exact codes for this house. I was doing you a favor by leaving it behind.”

“We’ll buy new materials.” They said and went inside.

Elly then decided to sell the materials she took in her car, since they would bring her thousands. Their condition was like as if they were newly bought.

Two days later, the Mitchells called her once again. Now they wanted these materials back as their constructor asked the items which were in their garage. The “garbage.”

When she went to talk with them, “Well,” Elly started, “considering the effort and time it took for me to remove everything, plus the inconvenience and the storage costs, I think it’s only fair you compensate me for it. And let’s not forget the actual value of the materials.”

She wanted a high price for all of the items. “I’ve already got interested buyers for the hardwood and other materials. So, if you’re not willing to pay, I can easily sell them,” she added then to make them nervous.

As they had no other option, they paid the money, and Elly left her parents’ home with a great memory.
