'This girls face turned RED': Woman talks smack about roommate in Spanish, doesn't know roommates is also fluent

'This girl's face turned RED': Woman talks behind roommate's back in Spanish, doesn't know roommate is also fluent

Here's a friendly reminder not to make assumptions about your roommates; that is, unless you want to find yourself in some deep trouble like this woman. Look, we're only human, and sometimes we make assumptions when we don't even realize that we're making assumptions. It's also inevitable that your roommate will do things that will annoy you. That's simply part of the reality of sharing space with someone. However, if you're going to talk smack about your roommate, consider making sure that you…

10+ Landlords Share Tenant Horror Stories

10+ Landlords Share Tenant Horror Stories

We've all heard plenty of stories about shady landlords, but what about when the tables are turned? It's hard to remember that there are some landlords out there that are just regular people and that there are some tenants out there who are to blame for ridiculous living situations. Sure, sometimes it's the landlord who ignores a tenant's pleas to fix a serious roach infestation or to solve a roof leakage issue (yes, these are all things that happened to yours truly). However, every so often, t…

'So petty and gross': 15+ Cringe Roommate Stories

Some people are born to be good roommates; others are meant to stay away from all humans and live entirely alone. That may sound savage, but it's just the truth. When you start having to cohabitate with other humans outside of your immediate family, you should have to undergo some sort of personality test to see what the best kind of living situation might be for you. That way, you're saving yourself and any potential future roommates the trouble of having to passive-aggressively communicate to…

‘I made sure it fit their diet… on the outside': Vegetarian roommates eat flatmate's food, flatmate plants meat in pizza crust

‘I made sure it fit their diet… on the outside': Vegetarian roommates eat flatmate's food, flatmate plants meat in pizza crust

Food is a topic people always bicker over. Parents, siblings, roommates… the closest depiction of reality I can think of at the moment in order to give a proper example of what I mean is Joey, from 'Friends'. He doesn't share food, and most people wouldn't appreciate having their own scrumptious morsels being taken out of the fridge and plopped into somebody else's mouth, either. Especially if that somebody didn't ask for permission. u/BotsAnonymous expressed his disdain for their vegetarian ro…

'They made an expensive mistake': Landlord ignores multiple bed bugs reports, tenant exposes them, costs them a fortune

'They made an expensive mistake': Landlord ignores multiple bed bugs reports, tenant exposes them, costs them a fortune

There's a special place in the afterlife for landlords who refuse to address serious issues from tenants. When it comes to the rampant issue of bed bugs, in particular, it takes a specific kind of sketchy landlord to ignore those calls and emails. It is no understatement that bed bugs are about as scary as conditions can get for tenants. When even the most difficult and paranoid tenant claims that there are bed bugs in their apartment, no matter how wrong they may be, you do not want to dismiss…

'You should have just paid the ticket': Landlord gives tenant expired permit, then refuses to pay parking ticket

Landlords use their ability to make their tenant's life miserable way too often, but sometimes tenants square up, and landlords need to face the bitter consequences of their actions. People say that petty revenge is for children, but I disagree and don't think that there is a particular age limit to getting so sweet payback on your landlord who owes you some money. In this case, OP had just graduated college and was looking for a place he could rent with a couple of friends. They found an apart…

'Update: She was yelling and stomping': Roommate threatens to sue woman for putting vegetables in the food the roommate is trying to steal

'Update: She was yelling and stomping': Roommate threatens to sue woman for putting vegetables in the food the roommate is trying to steal

There's always that one kid who is extremely picky about eating their vegetables, refusing to touch anything green in color, or that has the remotest possibility of being somewhat healthy. This was not helped in our childhood by the sheer amount of media depicting kids refusing to touch vegetables like it was cool. Still, you would expect that at some point during all those years between eight and thirty, there would be some maturing and growth and that, even if vegetables still aren't your fav…

'My landlords have moved in': Tenant lets landlords stay in her apartment one day, turns into all month

Landlords may be known for their shady practices, but a full-on role-reversal situation is not what we're accustomed to… Before we get into this new drama, let's all take a moment to acknowledge that landlords simply should not be able to get away with most of their ridiculous antics. Whether it's raising the rent well above market value and refusing to negotiate or whether it's refusing to acknowledge your fifth email this month about the roach problem and the need for a major roof repair, we…

'I spent 2 hours making his life miserable': Dude gets revenge on his roommate for eating his food; terrorizes him at work at the call center with hours of silly prank dials

There are a few rules you simply can't break when living with another person. Do your dishes, don't throw parties at 3AM, and you absolutely, 100% cannot eat their food out of the fridge. The refrigerator is sacred and, as a roommate, you aren't privy to every resource in the house just because you live there. It's not your mommy's house, you can't just eat whatever is in the kitchen.
