This guy hatched a plan to get his roommate to admit he was stealing, but did he go about it in the right way? The guy posted to r/AmItheA****** to ask for a verdict on if he went too far, or if he his roommate was actually the jerk in this situation.

As the OP shared, he has two other roommates who he lives with, sharing costs, but not the cost of groceries. That didn't stop one of the OP's roommates from stealing his milk and drinking it, then completely lying about the situation and denying he snuck a few sips. So the OP came up with a way to get back at him in this story.

However, although it seems straightforward, people in the comments told the OP he went too far. He could actually be in legal trouble for this 'prank,' at least according to some of the commenters. It doesn't seem like his roommate would actually sue him, but perhaps this is a cautionary tale to not mess with people's food, and find other methods of getting revenge instead.

Next up, read about this goofy manager who got his own food stolen, and lost his mind upon finding out.
