“Just because you don’t get along with someone doesn’t mean you can steal from them kiddos!!! Careful who you live with…”

When someone lives away from their parents, the possibility of seeing them split into two options - Either they travel to see their parents or their parents travel to see them. Traveling to your parents is usually not a problem. You can stay in your childhood bedroom and feel comfortable in the space in which you grew up. But when your parents come to visit you, it can get quite… tricky, to say the least. The biggest problem of all, is the sleeping situation – Where will your parents stay? Will…

When young adults first move out of their parents' homes, many are faced with the question of whether or not they should move in with roommates. Although most people don't really have a choice, because very few can actually manage financially to live alone when they are that young, even if you were given the choice, it can be a difficult decision. On one hand, living with roommates means you are never lonely, you can make great friends and create such fun experiences simply by sharing a living…

Sharing may be caring, but using without permission is cause for petty revenge… Sure, roommates share things all the time but those items are usually agreed upon by both parties. It's not even about being possessive of one's belongings; it's financial as well. If you and your roommate share groceries, then the cost for groceries should be split evenly amongst everyone in the household. Some of you are probably wondering why this needs to be addressed, but you'd be surprised how many entitled ro…

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. This housemate was in for a rude awakening when they arrived home one day only to discover that a whopping $1,000 in cash was missing from his bedroom. The money was there, and now it wasn't… living with a roommate, he only had one suspect to confront. This roommate was a real pain and was constantly complaining to him and creating 'boundaries'. Funny, isn't there such a boundary that is protected by the law called 'stealing'? People are wild. Th…

It's difficult to avoid getting petty when you're leaving on bad terms with a roommate. Believe me, I have been there. You want to stuff the curtain rods with prawns. You want to sabotage their AC. You want to do all the things to make this person know they should never have tried to mess with you. That being said, the mature grown adult within you stops you from doing anything unforgivable. Instead, we just move on and peacefully coexist with your soon-to-be ex-roommate despite the urge to ena…

Having a fully grown adult crash on your couch for weeks on end can be wildly frustrating. Sure, it's fine for a night or two. Maybe it's even fine for a week if the circumstances behind the situation have been rough. But if you live in a tiny apartment as is and this person becomes nothing more than an inconvenience, then Houston, we have a problem. Now, what about a couch surfer who stays with you for months and repeatedly trashes your place, only to leave a ton of their belongings behind aft…

Finding a good roommate is like searching for a needle in a haystack… it's difficult, to say the least. Even if things are good for a while, they almost always end up going south. People don't know how to communicate, let alone clean, and they can owe you money they never intend to return. So if you're living with someone you can stand, count yourself lucky. This housemate (OP) uploaded a few screenshots of a bizarre conversation he had with his roommate, who was livid after finding out he was…

Your time in college can be the best of your life. That said, a lot of it relies on how well you get along with your roommates because living in peace in an apartment is essential to the experience. The roommate who has been driven to the point of no return is described in the story below. The original poster (OP) is a student who shares an apartment with multiple other people. Since everyone tried their best not to step on each other's toes, everything went smoothly at first. But as time passe…

Sure, passive-aggressive behavior is not the ideal way to handle an awkward roommate situation, but sometimes, it's the most effective way to make your point heard. If the person with whom you share space has unrealistic expectations of you, you are bound to upset them. Now, if they themselves cannot meet their own expectations if the roles were reversed, then it's about time to give that person a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Oomp…

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…

The heavy hand of retribution falls hardest on a parasitic roommate.

Dirty dishes are the leading cause for roommate breakups. It's not proven or anything, but as anybody who has ever lived with another person knows, the passive aggressive nature of a maintaining a clean home can sometimes lead to horrific strife between you and your housemates. One Redditor recently felt the full force of roomie drama when he received an out-of-the-blue text from his roommate (who is also his older cousin).

Living with your pals is a risky move, even if you're life-long friends. This guy shared the story of his two awful roommates , Lisa and Jay, who decided to share a living space. As the OP wrote, “Every bone in my body is saying this is a bad idea, but I give it a go." Despite their hesitation, the first few months went fine for the OP and their two roommates. But then, things started to shift. The two began acting oddly, like the GF, who suddenly shows up with a $500 phone and TV bill, claimin…
