Redditor Has Roommate From Hell And Can't Get Rid Of Her, So She's Making Roommate's Life As Miserable As Hers

Revenge is a cruel thing that one can do to another. But if someone wants to get revenge, it means they can't bear mistreatment anymore and have decided to take the matter into their own hands instead of bagging and waiting for someone to do better.

A Reddit user shared her story about how she handled a terrible roommate and an even worse situation she got herself into. Back in 2008-2009, the OP separated from her unfaithful husband and soon after, formed a friendship with a new colleague, Amy.

Due to financial reasons, the OP and Amy decided to share an apartment. But as the OP moved on, finding better job opportunities and even beginning a casual relationship, Amy developed evidently jealousy.

Amy would make advances at the OP's male guests, including the OP's new boyfriend, Tom, who later moved in with them. Amy's behavior deteriorated drastically when the three of them started sharing an apartment.

She stopped paying rent, consumed the OP's groceries, neglected household chores, and let her cat defecate around the apartment. The turning point was when the OP's treasured DSLR camera disappeared, intensifying tensions between the roommates.

In response, the OP started a "petty revenge" campaign. Owning all the household items and holding the apartment lease, the OP restricted Amy's access to amenities, changing passwords, and even relocating food to a locked room.

She also returned a stolen laptop that Amy had taken from a coworker. After six stressful weeks, Amy left, abandoning a trash-filled room. In an unexpected twist, the OP's stolen camera was mysteriously returned six months later.

For the next couple of years, whenever the OP discovered Amy's new living situation, she'd inform the new roommates of Amy's previous misconduct. This once resulted in Amy's immediate eviction. Eventually, the OP stopped these warnings, feeling she had made her point.
