So it’s still ok to hide the sardines or “out” him to his parents then? 
Futureman, I don’t think you’ve given us any reasons at all for trying to get revenge on your roommate. I haven’t read anything that would get you this upset. Saying that I think you should pick and choose your battles carefully.
I thought this was hilarious, then I find out you were just joking. 
I personally would have just pissed in his shower or shit in his bed (hehe). Ah, the perfect crime.
Yeah you are right. He won’t find out about it, he’s barely computer literate. I’ll probably install some snoop program on his computer and probably put a keystroke recorder and set up some surveilance and use that in case I would like to ruin his life later.
I am sick of being the better man, so its about time I get some payback. I can’t really say that I’ll feel sorry for him. I’ll probably sabatoge his computer.
I am not really serious about all of this stuff, but I am also sick of being the “Better man.” Look I’m not going to ever live in this town or see any of these people again. I’m going to Germany.
And I refer to him as fatass for clarity’s sakes. I want to protect the guilty.
But this guy is an ass. I’m going to do something to him. I was thinking about not doing it. I’m thinking of a list:
Before you die: (His was titled:Before you leave)
Quit being such a pussy-whiped redneck.
realize that your girlfriend is ugly and she is a bitch.
realize that the reason why she treats you like shit is because you are a fat fuck.
Your problems with organization are close to OCD. You are fucked up, seriously dude.
You are a fuckin alcoholic, and you know it.
You have no fucking future and you’ll die a sad man.
okay, I can really continue this on and on.
I gotta figure out some way to fucking release this anger.
You fucking pussy… ha-ha, he drank my milk, somebody slept in my bed, I’m not like everyone else…no shit!
Most people wouldn’t have let the prick get over on them in the first place. You obviously don’t like each other and I imagine your other roommate already knows this. Pack your shit and get. To hell with revenge. Better yet, take your friend with you and let the dipshit make it on his own. That’ll be revenge enough.
Well ordinarily I wouldn’t have let him get over on me like that. But since I didn’t live here legally, then I can’t really assert any kind of rights. Plus he’s bigger than I am, so any physical retribution is out of the question. Like I said, I had put up with his shit and all for long enough, but now that he insults me with this stupid list behind my back, its a different story.
That fat cheap bastard should face a monetary retribution.
If you ever get sick of being “the better man”, then you never were.
Ignore Diogenes’ advice. Adults don’t behave that way.
Nailed.
If your going to move out, just do it. Pay the money openly and fairly since it may come back to haunt you if you don’t. That being said, call him out on his bullshit. Being the better man doesn’t mean letting him walk all over you, it means being honest and a straight shooter. You walk away having learned a lesson and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
If the high road just isn’t going to happen, and you must get some form of petty revenge, I recommend the following. I get some milk that is expired. Let sit in a hot automobile trunk for about 4 days. Pour into a gallon that says it isn’t expired. Put into fridge. If he drinks it and does a spit take, you have your revenge, and he really won’t be able to complain about it since it wasn’t your milk. If he doesn’t then that is fate telling you that it isn’t meant to be.
On the head, in spades.
No, you didn’t have to put up with his shit. You could have left a long time ago. You want him out of your life? Fine, move on. Taking revenge, especially if it comes back to haunt your ass legally, will only result in more involvement with him. Dude, life’s too short. So, unless you’re into pointless drama, MOVE ON!
futureman, what an ironic name. At some point in the future, with a lot of growing up and perhaps a bit of luck, you will be able to act like a man. Other than some petty grievances and the fact that your roomy has the nerve to be fat, the predominant complaint appears to be lack of ‘respect.’ In fact, you mention it as a problem 9 fucking times in this short thread, but you have yet to make me believe it.
Maybe you aren’t deserving of respect. Maybe you haven’t earned it. Most likely of all: you don’t know what it is and are just using this as an excuse to be a petulant child.
So far the problems you have with him are
He is fat (OMG he doesn’t have a right to live then does he)
You think his girlfriend is ugly and treats him badly
(This would be your business, How?)
He drinks your milk (Awwww. What of his would he say you used?)
He asked you to do some things before you left.
And from your response here i can see why he maybe didn’t ask you in person. You are not on the lease, and he is responsible for paying the damage you do so maybe he wanted to cover his butt.
I remember one girl i lived with in college who got pissy when i objected to her spitting chewing tobacco on the floor. Do you know how discusting that is to walk on in bare feet? Her response when confronted with it was similar to yours. She said “you aren’t my mother, you can’t tell me what to do.”
I also had another roomate who had a boyfriend who when stoned, ripped up her carpeting and created a sculpture with it and the mop and bunches of thrown cans of paint. he then proceeded to paint the walls with hand symbols and signs he was seeing in his brain.( He tended to utilise some of the less standard recreational drugs) That little event cost those of us who were on the lease several hundred dollars.
Whats the deal about ruined dishes btw. He wants you to fix a deal with dishes you may have broken and your response is that some of them weren’t his they were his GF’s and for that reason he doesn’t get to ask? Why the hell not? If it was someone else that broke them or something or if you have another theory as to why they were broken thats different, but he gets to ask for you to replace stuff you broke.
All this leads me to believe there is way more to your story than you are telling us. I am with the others on this one.
** Grow Up **
:eek:
You got lotsa these friends do ya?
look,
I didn’t ask for any kind of judgement about whether I am right to want revenge or not. There’s no way that anyone on this message board can be as informed of the situation as I am, I am sorry, but anyone who tries to paint this guy in an innocent light is just wrong. You don’t know him. I do. I was asking if I should get revenge on him or not, and if so , how.
The truth is that I probably won’t even do anything, only because its the easiest thing to do. I do believe that this guy has it coming. Maybe not from me, but from somebody.
And as far as being fat goes. This guy made himself fat. I swear its true. He started lifting weights about two years ago and started eating a shitload of food to gain muscle mass. Now he’s just a fatass because he thinks he can loose weight by gaining more muscle. It was completely self-inflicted.
I am not angry anymore, so that’s why I probably won’t try to get revenge. But like I said before, I’ve heard what he said about me to my other roomate, so I know why he acts the way he does. He’s also a racist bigot, too. He’ll say things like:
“That’s real white of ya”
Not to mention the causal tirade against black people and anything but the white race. So that’s just another tidbit.
Like I said before. This guys is the asshole. Not me. He got pissed at me because I have “weird tastes” in his opinion. I can’t help it if I don’t like to drink Bud Light and eat baloney and cheese sandwiches.
Quit trying to defend someone who you’ve known for 2 pages, and I’ve known for 3 years.
Look, I am not the type who acts like a baby about these things. When my other roomate and I have problems I don’t think its all his fault. I am not afraid to admit when I’m wrong. But what am I guilty of with the other guy? Wearing strange clothes and hanging out with weird people? That’s complete bullshit. I’ve had problems with roomates before, and realized that it was partially my fault. I have been living away from home for 5 years. I know what its like. I’ve had 8 roomates.
This guy is an ass, and that question is not under any kind of debate in my mind. I never started this thread to try to get everyone’s opinion about the guy. If I would have I would include the long history of events involved. That’s not necessary. I think I can make that judgement by myself.
I do not think anyone is defending the other guy as much as saying you need to grow up. The other guy can be an asshole but you are just putting yourself at the same level. So you are right in a way. We’re not debating how much of an asshole he is or may be. We’re debating how much of an asshole you are or may be. And you’re not helping your case.
Yes Sailor,
I understand that revenge isn’t the right thing to do, but I suppose subconsciously I wanted to blow off some steam about it here. I knew people would tell me to be the better man, but then I was hoping some people would actually tell me something that I could do. I wouldn’t do it, though.
Okay. In the end, if someone, like my roomate, is an asshole because he isn’t open-minded, I guess that is his problem. I had to live with it for 8 months, but now I suppose its his problem. He does like to watch Fox News, which can only help to reinforce the stereotype. I just want people to know that I probably never intended on exacting some kind of cruel revenge, although I was so mad that I would have liked to for a little while. So, its okay, I guess. I’ll just do what I’m told and forget about this guy. It still doesn’t keep me from resenting this guy, but I guess I’ll have to just forget about it.
Duuuude,
Hey, if you’da mentioned in the FIRST post that he watches Fox News, somebody probably would have sent you implements of torture and an instruction manual by now…
Seriously, fix what you broke or messed up, pack your shit, pay your bills and get the hell out. How fat or stupid the guy is does not absolve you from your responsibilities as a human being.
You could do this if you aren’t on the lease. Basically this is the only realistic option if you truly feel the situation is irreconcilible.
The rest is fantasy bullshit for anyone who is older than college-age. We used to pull all kinds of pranks in school (like the Tuna-me-do, penny-the-door, or the bathroom switch-a-roo) but once you enter the adult world, destroying someones property tampering with their food, or kicking their ass is a good way to end up in real court, not campus-kiddie-court. (although, I admit there is a certain satisfaction to taking your own brand of justice)
futureman-
It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong, it’s obvious you don’t like him all that much. My advice is stop whining like a battered housewife and MOVE THE FUCK OUT! And be a man for Christ’s sake! Tell the roommate you are friendly with that you are moving out so he can find someone else to take your place. People move out all the time. Heck, if he’s not on the lease both you guys should go live together. Tell fatass whatever you like or nothing at all. Don’t just slink away in the middle of the night like a llittle bitch.
Hey…it’s the only Fair and Balanced news out there.
