Choosing to house-share with roommates can be one of the most horrendous life choices you make. The first few weeks are easy peasy, as everyone is on their best behavior. A few months down the line, you're living with completely different people. It's hard to predict who is going to be insufferable, and that is exactly how you end up in this kind of situation.

One man lived in an 8 person student house, so there was bound to be some drama. But everyone has their own threshold for how much craziness they can handle. One particular couple in this shared house was, for lack of a better description, terrible people. They were the type of hypocrites that would yell at someone for not cleaning up their mess. They also made plenty of noise, but if you were anything less than 'the silence of the lambs' type of quiet, they would roast you.

So this man came up with a plan, and it included some good old malicious compliance that resulted in sweet petty revenge. Scroll down for the full detailed account. For more stories like this, here is a Karen customer who thought she could dictate a hotel employee's life after work.
