In another great example of consumers taking back their rights, angry Reddit users (Reddit is a social media tool that allows users to post links) flooded the phone lines of Auto One, an auto warranty company. A little taste of their own medicine? You betcha.

You don't hire a hitman and then cry foul after getting caught because it wasn't you who actually ended up carrying out the hit.
