Many of us have had our unfortunate encounters with an inconsiderate, immature, and grossly entitled roommate at one point or another. It's as if they fell through the cracks when it came to picking up the necessary tidbits of knowledge from the rest of society about how to be a socially, environmentally conscious roommate. It seems like this student's decision was fair enough considering the circumstances, and the fact that the dude seemed as if he wasn't going to change his ways. Check out some more roommate drama with this guy who outwitted his roommate using the Pavlovian Method.

    Font - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/NoisyScrubBirb · 1d 1 I had to child proof my kitchen cupboards So I live in student halls and there are normally 7 people here however only me and one other guy came back after Christmas since of the lockdown. He came back a few weeks before me and I already come back to moldy and crusty dishes. Bare in mind that everyone except for him cleaned up before going home for Christmas, and he was first to leave so we put all his dirty dishes in a bag by his door.

Normally I wouldn't care but he has not washed a single thing since he's got back, he's been using everyone else's stuff and leaving them to mold in the sink. It got to the point where the cleaner was refusing to touch any of it and it was becoming a hygiene issue so I've repeatedly asked him to wash and and he has repeatedly said he will with no result. So l've put it all he same bag of dirty dishes

I've tried asking management if they can do anything about it and they've said they'll talk to him about it and say he'll need to pay for a professional cleaning.

    Font - Even after that still no change so l've decided I'm no longer going to give him a chance to use or eat my things. I've moved my food to a lockable mini fridge and put locks on my cupboards. I know it may seem excessive but if he had been cleaning up after himself as he went I wouldn't mind, it's the fact he's been using everyone else's stuff and leaving it dirty and then uses mine and leaves it for me to clean

    Font - I may update as l've only just put the locks on today but it seems to be working as I can hear dishes being clanked and moved around so I can only assume it's the bag of dirty dishes. Doesn't bother me that I have to unlock to get to my stuff but now he doesn't have anything clean so have fun washing up 3 months worth of mold buddy. We'll see how it goes Edit: for this asking I will update, it'll be in a couple days at the very earliest as l've only just put the locks on tonight so l'll g

    Oh boy, another grim roommate tale.

    Font - tinabelcher182 • 1d I had a similar petty revenge when I was in student halls. In a flat of 8 people and we mostly used our own plates and such but occasionally we'd share or the dishes would need cleaning and we'd use other people's. Not a huge deal as it would usually get washed within a couple of days. There was one guy in the flat who lived in the room directly next to mine who just never cleaned his stuff. He ate out a lot so he didn't use much anyway but when he did he wouldn't clea

    Font - I went away for a week for a university trip and I came back to see my blender in the draining board. Everyone told me it was him who used it. While, yes, he had washed it, he hadn't actually got it very clean. I brought him into the kitchen to explain that he knew l'd said he couldn't use my stuff and it shouldn't matter if l'm there or not, the rule still applies. He fought back and said he had cleaned it so it shouldn't matter. I then wiped my finger along the inside rim of the lid, co
