A woman in eastern China who used thousands of coins to pay her property management fees as a form of revenge for poor service has trended on mainland social media.
The incident unfolded on March 12 and was exposed by the woman, surnamed Pi, on a leading online platform.
The woman, who lives in Jinan, Shandong province, said the electricity supply to her flat was cut off on March 11.
Then her residential community’s property management company told her that she must pay her outstanding property management fees before she could settle the electric bill to have her power back on.
“Who gave them the right to urge me to pay the property management fees by restricting my use of electricity? “ an angry Pi asked in her video.
As revenge, she withdrew 6,000 coins to the value of 650 yuan (US$90) from a bank and the next day, went to pay her bills. The coins had face values of either 0.1 yuan or 0.5 yuan.
