Having a bad roommate is one of life's great frustrations. If you've never had a roommate who steals your things, doesn't clean up after themselves and generally makes you feel like a stranger in your own home, then consider yourself lucky. Some people battle their thieving roommates with booby traps, but that's getting extreme.

It might be time to look for a new place to live if this is gonna become a regular thing. Bob, Carol and Angie have a lot to work through. For some crazy roommate stories, here's times people discovered their roommate was a psycho, and here's a guy who battled his terrible subletter who tried to pin him with damages.
After this guy's horrible subletter tried to stick him and his dog with an absolutely absurd cost of the damages to their apartment, this guy decided to fight back. Sounds like Bob is a complete bastard who's just now realizing he's in over his head. For another rent based drama, here's a tenant who beat their crazy landlord at their game.
This guy handled his thief of a roommate who refused to respect his boundaries, and kept stealing his marked food, by baking a special chocolate cake with habaneros in it. From there a man's world was wrecked, and he learned a spicy lesson in not taking other people's foods.
I mean, sure, you could PROBABLY use two clothes irons to construct a sort of jury-rigged panini press, but before you enact your brilliant new plan, think to yourself if you actually have to ruin your irons. Chances are it won't be worth the sandwich, but it would be worth this list. In life you'll see many questionable fixes, and while they may seem awesome in theory, there's usually a reason to do things the right way.
Being forced into a situation where he's expected to take care of and spend money on a baby two levels removed from him, this guy wonders if he's an asshole for totally removing himself with the situation. Some people like kids and go the extra mile to help out other folks, other people don't like kids and are within their rights to not have to deal with ones that just fell into their lives. Sometimes people choose to ask the internet whether or not they're being a jerk in their given situation.
This woman asked the people of Reddit if she was in the wrong for walking around her place bra-less, in front of her boyfriend's friend. Many people are expressing their opinion that she is in no way doing the wrong thing; and that in fact, it's her place, her boobs, her rules.
If you've never had a bad roommate, consider yourself lucky. There's no feeling quite like not being able to be comfortable in your own home. Living in an apartment full of garbage that's not yours can be maddening, not just because you feel disrespected, but also because it's extra work to do things like take trash out, do dishes that aren't yours and even do basic crap like lock the door for someone else. Anyway, people are damn animals. Here are more people sharing the horrible things their roommates do.
Exes can make life difficult. In some cases, desperate times call for desperate, meticulously timed measures. When this guy's ex-girlfriend was intent on making him pay for most of a year's worth of rent, he struck back in a way that couldn't get him away faster.
When somebody tells you the world is gonna roll you, you have to question whether or not you're the sharpest implement in the shed. "Bro" does not seem that sharp. We've have bad roommates and we're amazed this turned out so smoothly in favor of the revenger. Revenge is sweet.
These people need to move out like nobody's business. There comes a time in many roommate relationships, where you hit a crossroads. Catching your roommate creeping on you if that's NOT what you're about, would seem like the time to hop back on Craigslist to check for new housing options.
