'The look on his face was golden': Housemate uses program to lock computer, denying his roommate internet access until he washes the dishes

'The look on his face was golden': Housemate uses program to lock computer, denying his roommate internet access until he washes the dishes

One man found himself in a sticky situation regarding his messy roommate who literally refused to wash his own dishes. This story brings up some pretty bitter memories for me because I too had a roommate whose sense of cleanliness was worse than a two-year-old. She would also throw tantrums, so I was basically living with an actual child. In this case, the man found a way to exact some petty payback, and he knew just how to do it. After confronting his roommate who told him that he was never go…

'Don't mess with the wrong tenants': Landlord ignores maintenance requests for two months, tenant fires back with steep fines

'Don't mess with the wrong tenants': Landlord ignores maintenance requests for two months, tenant fires back with steep fines

There's nothing like seeing the look on a landlord's face after they have been majorly called out for being entirely unresponsive. It's somehow a mix between a look of feeling betrayed and the look of a child who is having a really hard time pretending they didn't just break the rules. But all landlords who ignore tenants' maintenance requests to the point that the living conditions become, well, unlivable should know better.

'I'm not paying you, it's your car': Young man demands roommates pay $500 for his car maintenance, they refuse

You roll the dice when moving in with new people, and I don't say that lightly. Even if you guys are besties from the second grade, nobody is safe from a good old roommate horror story. I had my fair share of entitled roommates, and I can honestly say that paying double for my own tiny studio apartment is worth it, because after everything I went through, I'm over it. Wait till you hear what happened in this story… 'I gave you a ride, a couple of times' was OP's roommate's excuse for demanding…

'It was a nightmare living situation': College student averts $500 fine by sparring with roommate, malicious compliance ensues

Surviving the experience of living with an awful roommate is not the character-building experience people say it is. Some experiences are just awful ones, and sometimes, there is not much to learn from a roommate's ridiculous, uncalled-for behavior. Sometimes, the goal is just to get out in one piece and the takeaway is, “well that was a bad chapter in my life.” This college student sparred with their roommate from the very beginning. They would leave passive-aggressive notes to one another abo…

'Needless to say, they didn't get their deposits back': 30+ terrible tenants, according to their landlords

It's customary to blame the landlord in most rental apartment disputes, but every so often, you come across a story where the tenant is so outrageous and so out-of-line that you find yourself shockingly siding with the landlord. This is a rare phenomenon, one that I have rarely come across in my own life. Occasionally, you hear stories of people who impulsively paint their walls against their landlord's wishes, but you rarely hear about the tenants who cause $80K in property damage because they…

'I chose not to comply with most of her "recommendations"': Karen demands housemate hide her stuff for a party, roommate hides all the toilet paper

Surviving the experience of having a Karen as a housemate is an awards-worthy feat. We all know that it's not easy to have to deal with a Karen customer or even to witness a Karen on the street, but of course, these are all temporary encounters. Having to deal with a Karen day in and day out can be soul-crushing, and yet this housemate managed to endure and even managed to pull off some petty revenge along the way.
