Sometimes, telling your roommate to stop doing something inconsiderate is not enough. You have to show them the consequences of their actions.

This tenant's roommate had a habit of eating whatever he wanted in the communal refrigerator, especially when it wasn't his own food. He always had an excuse. He either didn't have enough time to do his own grocery shopping or he promised to pay the tenant back next tine. Well, after numerous instances, it became clear that this was an empty promise. The tenant had no choice but to show him the dangers of eating someone else's food. So, he embarked on a mission. The tenant sabotaged his roommate by feeding him expired milk and putting raw eggs in a container labeled "hard-boiled eggs." Eventually, his roommate got the picture but not after experiencing the well-deserved petty revenge.

Keep scrolling below for the full story from the tenant's perspective. When you're done, feel free to take a look at this collection of funny one-star reviews from Karen customers.

    Inconsiderate roommate wouldn't stop eating my food. I had a roommate years ago that always ate the food I purchased.

    And sometimes the leftover food I made. He always had an excuse, like he was too tired to go to the store but he would replace my food tomorrow. He never replaced my food.

    So I decided to be petty. I had a half gallon of milk that I left outside for about two weeks. I let it get nice and spoiled, then put it in the fridge. The morning after, my roommate decided to help himself

    to a bowl of my cereal, and lost it when he poured chunky milk into the bowl. It smelled awful and had the most disgusting texture to it.

    The entire kitchen and living room smelled rancid. Of course, I was the one to blame because I kept the milk past the expiration date.

    This one was my favorite. I simply took non-hard boiled eggs and put them in a container labeled "hard boiled eggs." I woke up the next morning to him yelling and cussing, as he stormed into my room and asked why I did that. I

    asked why it mattered how I labeled my food. He was sitting in the living room and tried to crack a couple eggs at a time on the coffee table. The raw egg got all over his hands, the table and on the rug under it.

    This didn't stop him from taking my food, but it happened less frequently.

    I spoke with him several times about this, and he agreed he would stop. But he never did. He just told me what I wanted to hear and ignored it after that.

    & Watson buffalo cheddar cheese. The cheese alone is enough to make most people back off! But the sauce, that's to punish them for even trying! And trust me it comes out just as hot as it went in!

    Appropriate-Battle32 3 hr. ago Mini fridge in your room. Store all your food there. Lock on your door. He'd have to ask for anything and you charge him double with immediate payment.

    Busy-Needleworker-36 OP. 3 hr. ago That was my plan, but I ended up moving out. On top of the food he was filthy, loud and always had friends over late at night.

    That place was a nightmare. I called the cops a few times saying I was the neighbor and made a noise complaint.
