If you've ever ended up with a nightmare roommate, you'll appreciate the prank this guy pulled on his entitled roommate. The Original Poster (OP) in this story had just graduated college, landed a job, and lucked into a seemingly perfect living arrangement...only to discover that his roommate, a former classmate no less, is just as he remembered her. Entitled.

The OP moved in expecting some mild disagreements, like the usual roommate stuff. Instead, he found himself buried under a mountain of Post-it notes filled with "rules," from cleaning up crumbs to deep cleaning the bathroom after every shower. All the while, his roommate and her boyfriend turned the place into their personal hangout, complete with half-eaten takeout and a lingering mess. He didn't even make it all the way through the lease before he decided he had enough. But he didn't leave without getting his revenge. It was a revenge oh so subtle that it took his ex-roommate 20 years to find out.

    Nicole would constantly whined to her mom, which resulted in calls from my aunt at me about how she did this favor for me and all i needed to be was good roommate, it got to the point I told my aunt to. off and that her best friends kid was a nut job. She also didn't believe my side of the story.

    One night, my gf called me in a panic, her apartment flooded, and she needed a place to stay. I told her I could sneak her in for the night, and then the next day, we'd ask the banshee if she could stay for a bit. My gf accidentally dropped a glass,
