When Valerie and Jonathan sold their spotless smart home, they believed they’d closed the chapter on that part of their lives—until they received a letter from the new owners, demanding $10,000 for an alleged “dog smell” left behind by their two pampered pups, Muffin and Biscuit. The couple, who had thoroughly cleaned and maintained the home to perfection, were stunned by the accusation. What followed was not only insulting but absurd: the new homeowners claimed the odor disrupted their meditation and yoga routines, calling it “toxic energy.”
Outraged but amused, Valerie and Jonathan decided against paying and instead opted for a more poetic response—tech-powered revenge. Since they still had access to the smart home app, Jonathan took control of the thermostat. He began subtly manipulating the temperature, creating heatwaves during midnight, polar chills before dawn, and unexpected sauna-like spikes during meditation hours. Every time the entitled couple, nicknamed “Yoga Barbie and Yoga Ken,” complained, Valerie offered sweet, sarcastic advice about aligning chakras or burning sage.
The Campbells grew increasingly frantic, calling HVAC technicians and spiritual advisors, convinced the house was cursed by the ghosts of Muffin and Biscuit. Their complaints became comical: disturbed sleep, ruined yoga sessions, and a man-bun drenched in sweat. Despite their dramatic claims, they never received the $10,000 they demanded. Eventually, they figured out how to reset the smart system—just as Valerie and Jonathan were truly enjoying their creative retribution.
Months later, Valerie ran into Mrs. Campbell, who looked haunted and exhausted, still clutching sage bundles. With a smirk and a parting jab, Valerie reminded her that maybe next time she shouldn’t mess with dog lovers or smart homes. As she left, Muffin and Biscuit remained blissfully unaware they’d become legendary “haunting spirits,” proving that sometimes, karma just needs a little Wi-Fi connection to work its magic.
