Like most millennials, I do stupid stuff on the internet. For me, it has involved less Instagrammable food and more correspondence with NBC about dating Jennifer Lawrence, Buckingham Palace refusing to let me become the royal baby's nanny, and "the worst business plan of all time". I once even created a fake Russian grain company to carry out an elaborate scheme of revenge on a landlord who screwed me over.

It's taken me to almost two million hits, a couple of newspapers and Dutch radio. It also led to me telling that vile hate rag called the Daily Mail they couldn't use content from it because they lie to people and make everyone sad. So for that alone, it's all been worth it.

Here are some examples of how petty I can be:

SPAMMING THE SPAMMERS

Once, the Inc 500 list of fastest growing companies emailed me 16 times asking me if I wanted to participate in their competition without ever offering the option to unsubscribe, so I entered the worst business plan of all time, one page at a time, as an act of protest. It took me around ten hours to complete, which you may realise is longer than simply sending an email asking to unsubscribe, but was it worth it? You tell me. Read it here!

GRAIN EXPECTATIONS

I also once created a fake Russian company, complete with fake email addresses to exact revenge on a landlord who stole a bunch of money from me and my friends. I even got my friends in Russia to mail him this invoice so it had Russian mail stamps on it and looked real. Chaos ensues here.
