Freeloader Roommate Keeps Stealing Redditor's Stuff, So He Gets Pretty Revenge By Putting Nair In His Shampoo

Leona Martinez

Living with roommates can be challenging due to differences in lifestyle and communication breakdowns. Issues often arise from clashes in personalities, disagreements over responsibilities, and unexpected challenges like overstaying guests.

Recently, one guy (OP) posted his problems with his roommate on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit. In the post, he shared that he got stuck with an unexpected long-term guest who turned his place into a free crash pad. As things got more annoying, the roommate started using the OP's stuff without asking, pushing him to take action.

The OP came up with the idea of putting Nair in his shampoo to prank his roommate, hoping to deter him from his thieving ways. However, the aftermath left the OP surprised.
