This is the beauty of petty justice. The guy who mocks post-it notes lost his beloved command center to a dad in a Dodge Ram. The cake is gone, but the fridge is safe. Moral of the story: steal carbs, lose your lumbar. Justice is sometimes best served on Facebook Marketplace.

Someone bit instantly, hauled it off, and boom, the crime scene was spotless. When Alex returned, his melodrama was priceless. Maybe the landlord stole it? Maybe maintenance needed ergonomic lumbar support? Certainly not his quiet roommate sipping water in the corner.

Roommate Alex eats an entire custom birthday cake despite warnings, his flatmate gets payback selling his $800 gaming chair on Facebook Marketplace for $50: ‘Alex returns home, notices a space in the room, and freaks out’
Roommates are basically a social experiment designed to test how much human selfishness can be tolerated before someone snaps. In this case, the snapping point was a birthday cake. Not just any cake either, but the kind your mom spends time and money making special, the kind that shows up with edible flowers and fondant like it comes prepackaged with parental love. Our guy Alex ignored the post-it, inhaled the whole thing in one sitting, tossed the box, and shrugged it off with "I had the munchies, I'll Venmo you." Because yes, nothing says "sorry I ate your mom's affection" like twelve bucks in digital credits.
Enter the revenge arc. Alex has an eight hundred dollar gaming chair, the throne upon which he wastes most of his life achieving absolutely nothing except carpal tunnel. While he was away, his roommate snapped photos of the chair and listed it on Facebook Marketplace for fifty bucks.
