If you've never had a bad roommate, you are the bad roommate.

'That went from 0 to 100 real quick'

Imagine your neighbors are noisy. Not just any kind of noisy, but the vacuuming at 3 am, stomping, and yelling at odd hours kind of noisy. Starting to get the picture? Good, because these neighbors that OP described were the absolute worst. Besides the noise disturbances late at night, these neighbors also made false claims regarding internet usage, which for some reason, affected OP. The thing is, a question arises. If you get someone evicted, are you potentially leaving them homeless? Will yo…

It's important to keep your housemates in harmony. This can usually be accomplished with only a few simple steps: everyone needs to communicate with each other and set clear expectations for the future, leaving nothing up to chance. But what would happen if one of the roommates is unable to budge and is insistent about sticking to her schedule? Is it possible to keep the home peaceful? The story that follows is an account of a frustrated roommate. OP shares his apartment with two female housema…

Even vegans will find this funny

Sometimes, the way you say something matters more than the actual words you speak. People occasionally forget that the inspirational wise words our parents constantly repeated to us when we were little can actually save us from a great deal of hardship. The story below is an account of a frustrated roommate. OP's apartment is shared with both a child and a single mother. Occasionally, they would take portions of OP's food for themselves. But, now, in contrast to when they initially moved in, mo…

Having roommates can either be a blessing or a curse. They could be your biggest enemy or your best friend. But how would you respond if your roommate forced you to vacate the apartment so she could have a party? The man in the following story is frustrated because his roommate ‘kindly’ suggested he leave the apartment so she could host a party for her friends, and he is not welcome or invited. I think we can all agree that she is extremely insensitive—after all, my brother is obliged to love m…

I'll say it again for the benefit of those in the back: revenge is always best served cold. They ought to be completely taken aback by it and not notice anything unusual, and only then will you be able to genuinely experience the fulfilling sense of success and achievement. But what about unintentional retaliation—does it fit the bill? Are you still experiencing that amazing sense of fulfillment and contentment? The answer is unquestionably yes! The story that follows is the tale of an angry ro…

I moved out of my parent's house for the first time when I started university. When I arrived at the dorms, I made sure to clean every square inch of that filthy apartment since I had no idea how the previous tenants—a group of teenage boys—had managed to live in such a filthy space. When my roommates arrived, I introduced myself and apologized ahead of time since I'm not much of a chef and won't be able to help with the cooking. The story below involves a woman who aspires to get better in the…

Everyone has had a difficult neighbor or two. Some of them we will most likely remember for the rest of our lives. You surely were able to think about at least three different experiences while reading the article… The story below is of a neighbor rivalry. Instead of caving into the bigger, much older downstairs neighbor, OP here devised a devious plan to get even and escape unharmed. The massive intimidating gentleman didn't give up on his noble quest until his very last day in the communal ap…

Revenge is a meal best served gross

I'm all about keeping it real. I know that at times we feel like a little white lie might be the perfect solution, but when you really care about a person, you will always tell them the truth. In theory, the method of complete and utter honesty sounds easy, but in practice, honesty can be painful. The story below is an account of a frustrated father. As mentioned many times before, there is no parenting manual. Basically, what we do, is depend on the good old trial and era method. Meaning, we d…

Just order McDonalds like the rest of us...

Nightmare living conditions

Have you ever had a housemate who's eaten your food despite repeated requests for them not to? It's a far too common occurrence. Working a long shift, looking forward to your leftovers at home, just to find that a disrespectful roommate has remorselessly consumed them. It's beyond irritating. But what if it wasn't your roommate? What if it was your sister who's living rent-free in your home? And what if it wasn't your food, but food specifically bought to satiate your pregnant wife's cravings?…

The audacity is unreal
