Truly great roommates who match your character are a bit like winning the lottery—the chances of you getting this lucky are quite slim. Unfortunately, not everyone is so blessed! They sometimes have to live with people who have a very different philosophy about cleanliness. That’s a nice way of saying that some roommates feel like they’ve moved in with you straight from hell.
In a viral post on ‘Petty Revenge,’ user u/Ok_Presentation6442 regaled the internet with a story about how she got back at her former college roommates. They had huge issues with picking up after themselves and got frustrated when the author tidied their things. So, they demanded that she leave their stuff where she found it… only to regret it almost immediately.
Scroll down for a primer on dealing with messy, entitled roommates and to read the internet’s reactions. Meanwhile, Bored Panda has reached out to the author for comment, and we’ll update the article as soon as we hear back from her.
