Getting Even: The Complete Book of Dirty Tricks

"The Complete Book of Dirty Tricks," which is this book's subtitle, is exactly that. It is a humorous compilation of the most ingenious tricks cooked up by Hayduke and his friends. Remedies for such varied situations as continual computer misbillings, terminally misplaced plane luggage, exorbitant legal fees, excessive telephone and electric charges, and myriad examples of day-to-day dealings with incompetent bureaucrats are all here. But the author also goes after the smaller irritants in life: the neighbor's chronically barking dog, the merciless landlord, the tyrannical boss, the roving lover, and more.publ
