Roommate situations can get muddled and messy real fast, especially when matters concerning money are involved. You'd think you could trust a friend in that regard, but don't be so quick to assume… people can unpleasantly surprise you, as made obvious in this tale of petty revenge. One man told his 'roommate horror story' to r/pettyrevenge, which took place many years ago. While in college, he rented out a room in the summer at a friend's apartment in Colorado. He wasn't aware that this 'friend' was planning on taking a vacation, which meant he wasn't even going to be present, leaving OP with an additional roommate that OP didn't know of.
This same 'friend' also conveniently didn't pay his section of rent for the month… leaving the two to deal with a total mess. This roommate told OP that this was actually normal behavior of said 'friend', which sounded in other words like, 'We're doomed to pay his section'. Now, most of us have had the 'pleasure' of living with a roommate in our lives… or two, or three… and I myself have had multiple run-ins with people I'd rather wipe clean from my memory. But this really takes the cake.
OP realized that he (and his roomie) actually had an upper hand in the whole shpiel, as neither his name nor his friend's roomies were in the contract. He took this opportunity to play a game of sweet, petty revenge that ultimately withheld his 'friend' from getting away with it. Scroll down to read the entire detailed version of events.
