Why the hell did you move in with the guy?
Pay your rent, advertise your room and move out.
I’ll refrain from making bitchy comments about how immature you’re being, and how you could have solved this weeks ago with a simple conversation over a beer.
Psst! Clue:
[sub]They aren’t painting him as innocent, they are painting you as petty and childish[/sub]
Tough shit. If you don’t want us to say something you disagree with, you shouldn’t have posted this in the first place.
FWIW, your roommate sounds like kind of a dick. However, it doesn’t sound revenge worthy.
Not sure why, but college was a time to broaden my horizons on how really very sheltered my upbringing had been. So wound up with many very peculiar acquaintenances. Come to think of it kept adding to these strange roomates till i met my husband. I keep expecting some bizzare trait to show up.
What makes you so sure that Roommate #2 is telling you the truth about everything?
Kee-Rist!
I’ll second (or third, or eighth whatever…) the advice above… pay your bills, move out, and move on!
Revenge is NEVER the way to go. Never.
I don’t care what kind of asshole your roomate is, just pay up, pack up, and get out… if he is as much of an asshole as you say he is, life will get him plenty good! No need for you to put yourself at legal or other risk.
Grow up, pack up, pay your bills, move out, move on.
I’m getting some… er… “Freaky” vibes from this post.
There is and we are. Be the better man. Clean up your side of the street, regardless of who is or why.
You should treat obnoxious people with courtesy and respect. It really irritates them.
Remember, living well is the best revenge.

What the hell? ::Laughs@her coding:: We’ll try this again even though I’m sure you all get the point. It’s just bothering me.

YOu can always put his tooth brush some place wholly unintended by the manufacturer…
So when he asks, “Why does my toothbrush taste like ass?” you can have a private chuckle.
Let’s see-
He acts like everyone else from the South.
He’s a fatass that actually ate to get that way.
He watches Fox news.
He posts lists of things he’d like you to do to put the apartment back in the condition it was in before you moved in.
All of these things things make him a “stereotypical fucking ignorant piece of shit” who deserves to have his home, automobile, computer and personal life sabotaged.
Explain to me again who’s the bigot here…
Is that so, seriously?
I would think if you put something in the fridge, with your name on it, anyone who drinks it has no claim against you. You could even make a special point of aksing them not to drink it. Or, better yet, leave a note on the fridge asking it be left alone.
BTW, I disagree with all the saints around here who think being an adult means always turning the other cheek and feeling morally superior. Sometimes the immediate gratification of flipping someone off is worth the guilt you’ll feel later. It’s part of maturing to learn when it’s worth it to you.
I would think that you might be wrong for the same kinds of reasons that man-traps are frowned upon. (albeit a rather extreme comparison).
Pay up your rent, advertise your room, move on.
Ignore the “to-do” list.
Lather, rise, repeat.

Not such a bad analogy, if I put poison in the fridge, I guess.
But what if I put my medication in the fridge? What if I keep a urine specimen in a milk bottle until I bring it to the clinic tomorrow? Hard to make me liable if some idiot decides to steal it.
If you put such a substance where you expect someone might ingest it, rightfully or not, you have poisoned them. IIRC correctly, the law frowns on that. I’m sure on our legal eagles will be by to give us the skinny.
Bricker? Minty? Dewey?
Sounds like negligence charges at the very least. Now if they can prove intent. Like, have you EVER made any statements ANYWHERE that could be seen as a threat to this person. Then you could be in serious trouble. The motive, means and opportunity are obvious. Depending on damages…you could be looking at a jail time and a large CASH penalty.
Oh, fuck it, do it anyway! Maybe he’ll have some peculiar undiagnosed allergy and die or worse be a vegetable. Boy wouldn’t that work out great. He gets to spend the rest of his life on machines and you get to be somebody’s BITCH in prison for the rest of yours.
Damn wouldn’t that be sweet.
Wake up, revenge can only result in BAD things happening. Just move and let him be. If he’s as bad as you say and a drunk as well, I promise he’ll get his eventually. Someone who doesn’t give a shit will fuck him off.
If you just can’t handle it. Wait 'til he’s out drunk and driving and drop a dime on his ass. DWI’s hurt for a long time. Plus you’ll be doing the public a favor getting his drunk ass off the street.
I still think you should grow up put the place back the way you found it, pay your bills and move on. That all said, if you must get revenge…
Talk about doing the right thing for the wrong reasons
Just get out of the situation, who gives a fuck about revenge. Having him out of your life should be your incentive, and your reward.
As far as going in your room or using your stuff, don’t people just threaten other people with bodily harm anymore? I had a roommate who pulled that shit, I told him next time he did anything I would break his jaw. Bingo, problem solved.
