College student gets even with messy roommate by letting his milk spoil: 'He returned from his vacation to a humid and hot bedroom that reeked of spoiled milk and nasty bacteria'

Being a college student inevitably means having a messy roommate at some point during your four years. It's an unofficial rite of passage before you earn your degree. The problem is that no matter how clean you are and regardless of how good you think you are at spotting red flags beforehand, you never truly understand what it's like to live with someone until after you have chosen to move in with that person. 

Part of the reasoning is that when everyone is searching for a roommate, they are going to present the best versions of themselves. Sure, they might say that they loathe leaving dirty dishes in the sink at night, but that does not necessarily mean they will actually follow through with that promise in practice. 

This college student found himself in a difficult conundrum in which his roommate was seemingly unable to clean up after himself. When they would have confrontations about this, the roommate did not seem to understand how frustrating this was for the author. Keep scrolling below to find out what happened when the student left a nearly full glass of milk out before leaving their apartment for a week of spring break.

  • Let's just say that when this guy returned home after his week-long vacation, he finally felt the consequences of what it's like to not have your roommate constantly cleaning up after you all the time. He may not have reacted well to the fact that his room stunk of spoiled milk and bacteria in the sweltering Louisiana heat, but frankly, this was the treatment that he deserved at this point!

    "Roommate who can't clean up after himself"

    In college I shared an apartment with another guy who couldn't be bothered to clean up. He'd (not always, but often enough) leave trash on the floor, takeout on the living room table, that sort of

    thing. And when I called him on it his response would be that if it bothered me that much, why didn't I just throw it away for him and move on with life?

    One fine day he poured himself a glass of milk and drank probably about a third of it before putting it on the dining room table and leaving it there while he went on a Spring Break trip for a week.

    I moved it to his bedroom nightstand and closed the door before going on my own week long trip. I turned off the A/C. And did I mention this was in Louisiana where even during spring it gets uncomfortably hot?

    he left behind. He was not happy. He brought up the stuff that was not broken and washed it before leaving again. Seemed to work.

    After that he kept his stuff a little bit cleaner. Yes, it was not the right thing to do, but we were a bunch of p ed off college kids. I hope he has gotten over it. Been so long I cannot remember his name. Not my proudest moment...
