    r/pettyrevenge u/Sad-Combination-9471 19h I filled my apartment with carnivorous plants to spite my vegan roommate.

    Okay, so I (24F) have been living with my roommate (26F) for three years. My roommate is a strict vegan and has been since she was 14. I, however am not. This has never been a problem, since I think people can do whatever they want with their lives, and I have never tried to change her mind about being vegan.

    My roommate is a bit of a plant lady. She's been collecting and raising different types of plants for years and has amassed quite a collection. She even puts little sticker labels with the names she's given them. (Which is adorable) she's truly one to die for her plants. I think this is cool but have never really interacted with them besides watering them whenever she's out. It really doesn't get in the way of my life so I don't care that she's so obsessed with them, and I'm glad she has a hobby

    Here's why the problem begins. Two months ago she visited a conference on animal products and came back with a more fiery spirit. She started going to events regularly, became a local activist, started preaching to people in the street, etc. Now, this isn't a problem. She's a human being who can believe whatever she wants. Or at least it wasn't a problem, until every conversation with her transformed into telling me why I should go vegan. Why I'm evil for consuming animal products, and how I sho

    I headed to an exotic plants place near where I live and got a bunch of different types of carnivorous plants. I'm talking every single single species I could get my hands on. I also got pots and things to hang them from so they looked pretty. My roommate wasn't there that day so I had plenty of time to set the place up. I decided to do it in the kitchen since that's where most of her scolding would take place. I put them everywhere I could. Wherever she had a plant, I put one right beside it, j

    When she got home she started screaming at me. Blowing up saying that I'm horrible. She was livid. But because I bought them and I hadn't moved or touched anything of hers, she couldn't do anything. It's been like this for the last few weeks and I've been caring for them daily, and even researching the best ways to keep them alive and purchasing products so they can thrive. Honestly, I've actually gotten pretty fond of the plants. I went as far as naming and labeling them. I'm moving out today s

    IndgoViolet 18h ● Wow! You spent some coin! Flytraps and sundews are high when I find them at Lowe's, much less a plant shop that specializes, the pitchers aren't cheap either. What did you get and did they tell you to water with distilled water or the minerals will kill them?

    SimplePigeon • 19h Does she lecture you on the cruelty of feeding plants meat? Or does she lecture the plants on how cruel they are for enjoying it?

    sysadminbj 19h I'm confused... Why would a vegan be against carnivorous plants? I mean, they aren't eating her plants, are they?

    Friendly_Exchange_15 • 18h A normal, sane vegan isn't against carnivorous plants. Just like a normal, sane vegan isn't against carnivorous animals (or how nature is very bloody in general). An insane person who thinks any sort of animal dying or being used for food is absolute cruelty no matter the circumstances would be against carnivorous plants.

    ccl-now 18h I like this so much - "I even went as far as naming and labelling them" was perfect!

    Lin4ol. 18h I'm vegetarian and I would have gone to the store with you to buy the plants. I understand where she's coming from (I was an annoying vegetarian a while ago) but you're not helping any animal by being a nuisance to everyone else. You're just being a nuisance, period. Hopefully she got the message.
