Re:A great little twist

Many people are like that. One day, my landlady thought I had missed a payment. She called me and when I told her I just checked using the online interface to my bank account that the payment was really made, she asked me to print a copy of the receipts as "proof". Simply the date of the transfer was not enough for some reason.

It took me quite a while to explain to her that I could save the html ("But surely you can't edit the web pages of your bank, can you?"), type in anything I wanted to, print it and send it to her. After I went through all this trouble to explain how I could cheat her, she seemed to assume I was telling the truth and that I did pay it.
