Roommates can get passive-aggressive. In an attempt to keep the 'peace' in the house a lot of friends living together will resort to petty Post-It notes or labeling their food in the fridge, but at a certain point, when does the passive aggression threaten a friendship? Well, whenever money is involved, every friendship is at stake– especially if your 'friend' is a grudge-obsessed crazy person hellbent on nitpicking every transaction. 

In our next story, one guy instantly regrets moving in with this kind of friend. Unbeknownst to them at the time, their new roommate and soon-to-be-ex-bestie was a ticking time bomb who might need a therapy session (or two). Scroll to read all about how this trio of buddies was cut down to a duo when a nitpicking roommate completely overreacted after being accidentally overcharged $6. 

Spoiler: He got paid back the $6 but just wouldn't let the 'betrayal' slide.

    I accidentally overcharged him by ~6 dollars for my dogs rent. He then took the dining room table and our wifi router and the mixing bowls he bought and shoved them in his tiny bedroom. Lol.

    r/r/badroommates Posted by u/Suckit-and-see 15 hours ago Roommate mad I accidentally overcharged by six dollars !! Our apartment has a 10 dollar fee tagged on to rent whenever you pay online. So my roommate and boyfriend send me their money so I can pay it at once and we can just have a 10 dollar charge instead of 30 in total. I accidentally overcharged him by ~6 dollars for my dogs rent.

    usually This clearly shows the dog rent is $20 a month. I shouldn't have trusted you. My family me over, but I really signed a full lease with you thinking you were different. You were supposed to be my best friends. you both. Dude I'm so sorry I didn't think there was a pet rent bc we paid a 300 dollar deposit for both of our dogs. I'll cashapp you the difference, but also it was an honest mistake and I don't like the way you are coming @ me rn .. We have only paid rent twice so 20 split betwee

    I don't care how much it is. You obviously are trying to use me and I'm not going to put up with this. It's been two months and you've already stolen from me, how can I trust you for 10 more months? Dude I will literally cashapp you right now, I wouldn't do that to you on purpose I'm sorry it happened but you have access to all of the statements as well if you thought I was gonna do you dirty then you could always have paid it yourself and ate the extra 10 dollar fee instead of sending the money

    No, I'm done. Leave me alone. All I want is to finish this lease so it doesn't my credit over. k Then I am done with you and for good. I'll be taking all or my belongings out of common areas. Fend for yourselves since I'm obviously the only responsible one here. both. you

You clearly moved 2 pepperoni over to your slices. There should have been an equal distribution across all of the slices, but I'm sure you already knew that. I was just starting to trust you again and now you me over like everyone else in my life."

    alma-clouds 15 hr. ago He went from 0 to 100 and immediately assumed you, his best friend, are trying to him over. I could (maybe) understand this reaction if it was more money or you weren't apologetic and willing to repay him. He destroyed a friendship over $13 he was going to get back, it's absolutely wild. Bro is unhinged...

Loose Tip_4069 13 hr. ago My "friend" got weird over half of a 42 cent postage stamp she used to mail the rent our first month. The friendship didn't survive the year.

    Witchywoman4201 14 hr. ago Is your roommate a time traveler from a period when stealing $13 over two months is worth it? It's either this or something else is going on and $13 is an excuse for them to flip out Reply Share 118 maniacalmango0 13 hr. ago 13$ in 1914 would be 337$ today lol So I suspect this person is from approximately 1600. Let's carbon date this roommate Imao
