‘I didn’t give them a heads up': Fed up housemate shuts off power, leaving roommates without electricity after being asked to leave

Blink once, blink twice, and oops, a roommate situation has already gone south… That's how quickly it gets ugly. And wouldn't I know… I've been there and even lived through it to tell the tale.

I used to live with a bunch of roommates, some of whom were decent, others annoying, but all hail that one person in particular who has etched themself into the deepest, darkest parts of my brain. She did not take the garbage out once in the 3, short but painful months we lived together. Her clothes were strewn across the apartment, and the poor excuse of a partner she brought home sometimes would leave our kitchen a total mess… A mess they expected me to clean up. Just thinking about it makes me see red.

The housemate in this story was fed up with their roommate who had brought her mother home to join them in the house, despite not paying a dime, and then her partner, who was also not expected to pay a dime. After all this audacity, OP's roommate's mother told him to leave… So he did, but not without leaving a parting gift.

Next, check out this manager who stormed into an IT employee's office and demanded he stop fixing a laptop that the CEO gave him to fix… Without knowing that it was at the CEO's request.
