Not all vegans out there subscribe to the stereotype of the intense activists who try to force others into their beliefs. However, as you probably know, there are exceptions. Take the case of a woman who shared an apartment with her vegan roommate. Initially, their relationship was cordial; the OP respected her roommate's dietary choices, and there was no awkward tension between the two.

But things quickly did a 180. After attending a conference on veganism, the roommate became one of those zealous activists, relentless in her mission to convert the OP to the world to veganism. Unable to bear her roommate's longwinded rants, the OP found herself sneaking out of the apartment early in the morning just to enjoy her eggs in solitude, free from her roommate's guilt-inducing lectures claiming that she's evil. 

With the end of their lease nearing, the OP decided it was time for a bit of playful revenge on her overly enthusiastic, plant-loving roommate. Keep reading to see what went down.

    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 should be ashamed that I'm not vegan. This seemed weird since she hadn't acted like this prior to the conference. But it had gotten so common I started waking up earlier to go

    to work so I could eat my eggs in the parking lot of my job so I don't have to here her rant. Since we were close to the end of our lease I had decided to pull a little stunt before we parted ways.

    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 everywhere I could. Wherever she had a plant, I put one right beside it, just to be extra petty. It looked like a greenhouse in there. Honestly I was pretty proud of my work, I felt like buddy the elf when he renovated the store.

    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

    actually gotten pretty fond of the plants. I went as far as naming and labeling them. I'm moving out today so I thought I would tell this story, because it's kinda crazy.
