People Who Should Consider Moving Out ASAP
Roommates create a unique relationship dynamic, and it can be pretty exhausting. Sometimes you get along and other times your personalities clash. Whether it's living with your best college buddies or moving in with a complete stranger, you tend to learn a lot about people when you have to share a place with them. You can quickly learn who you can stomach, and when it's best to just live on your own.
Nothing But A Harmless Prank
A prank like this one can make your daily chores just fly by. If you have a roommate who likes to sleep in, this is a great way to completely ruin their day. You sure better hope it's not the car of the homeowner who's kind of enough to rent a room to you, though.
At least they can use that handy dandy shovel to dig themselves out with. That's what makes the prank OK.
Want To Play A Game?
Ain't nobody got time to play games like this. After a long night at the bar, the only thing you need the most the next morning is some life-saving, thirst-quenching water. You can't afford the loss of tears this message would create when you're that dehydrated.
The lesson here is a very important one: always have some backup Gatorades or bottled water stored under your bed. You can even keep it in your car trunk, just be sure to have fresh water on hand.
Passive-Aggressive Note
It might take you few seconds to notice that it's an actual sink in the photo. It grinds anybody's gears when they get a passive-aggressive note from their roommate, but when the chain of communication breaks down, drastic steps like this must be taken.
This is so realistic that the roommate could have walked by it a couple of times without noticing that it's a photo and that the dish-cleaning fairy didn't do it.
My Biggest Pet Peeve
Leaving half-empty cups of drinks all over the house is just a total act of laziness. Some of us had this type of encounter during college because that's when we're at our laziest. I bet this roommate is doing this out of spite because they hate living with other people.
They should mix all the remaining liquids together in the blender with a little fruit and tell the offending roomie that it's a special smoothie (don't really try this).
Hinging The Toilet Paper
The age-old debate on over or under will carry on forever, but we can all agree that this is definitely not how it works. I suppose that's what you get for complaining about something that's inconsequential. Pettiness is at an all-time high at this point, and these roomies are probably hoarding their own TP moving forward.
Personally, I'd be really ticked off that someone wasted a roll of toilet paper like this.
Roommates Who Eat Your Food
Some wake-up calls are delicious. This one isn't. "You left this in the microwave when you were drunk, idiot." is the perfect comeback to being accused of food theft.
Seriously though, the only note you should be writing after a night like this person had should be to ask who you owe an apology to and why. At least they didn't leave their pizza in the oven. That's a serious fire hazard.
Ouch, That's Gotta Hurt
Well, that's what you get if you move in with your pal and their significant other. Sure, it's all fun and games, but a cake like this is very unwelcoming to the new roommate.
This could be the shot in the arm they need to go out and make a brand new set of friends so they're not just sitting on the couch all night watching reruns of The Office.
Savage Spelling Correction
This is what happens why student-teachers decide to bunk together. The troll on the bottom made sure to call out their roomie, since passive-aggressive notes should never have any spelling errors.
Why on earth wouldn't you double-check a post-it note that you were leaving to make your roommate feel bad about themselves? You know they're just going to make fun of you for it, and probably take a photo so the whole world can see.
The One Who Doesn't Fill The Brita
How hard is to not fill up the Brita after you use it? It's one of the simplest things, and more often than not, you'll end up playing yourself if you just put it back in the fridge. Tap water just isn't the same, and even at its coldest, it just doesn't match up with refrigerated H2O.
In case you haven't picked up on it already, water is a very important thing to have on hand.
Rude Awakening
We can all agree that there is nothing worse in this world than a rude awakening, and this is the definition of one. Air horns are annoying as is, but hearing one in the morning is enough to make a grown man cry.
We hope this person pranked their roommate back really good for this one. Especially if they had to pay a visit to the audiologist in the morning, which seems pretty likely.
Pizza That's Not Yours
This person would rather have their roommate steal their food compared to taking one big bite of pizza. This is just a slap in the face. Not only is the piece inedible now, but the person who's the victim of theft now has to go out of their way to throw it away.
The person who did this obviously hasn't learned first lesson of food thievery, which is to leave no evidence behind.
Bringing Strangers Home
Been there, done that. It's always awkward whenever your roommate brings home a complete stranger who passes out on your couch like it's their second home. To make sure they're still breathing, grab a hockey stick and poke them to get them out of the house. Or give them a blanket that you'll never see again.
Be sure to lock the door behind them whenever they finally do get up and leave.
Lesson Learned
There are always a ton of lessons to learn when living in your first house or apartment, and learning which soap goes in the dishwasher (versus the laundry or any other household appliance) is high on that list.
On the bright side, at least he'll learn where the mop and bucket are to clean it all up. Everything should be pretty fresh after this mess. It suds to be you, bud. It really does.
Disaster In The Bedroom
Perhaps this is the breaking point where the only answer is to stage an intervention for your roommate. They've probably reached the point where they don't even bother trying to sleep in their bed anymore, and are just going to pass out at their desk after hours of studying.
Somebody call their mom because that's how you get ants. At least they have the air freshener plugged in. That's one positive out of this.
This Means War
Maybe dealing with passive-aggressive notes can be considered as character building? It's healthier to talk through your problems face to face, but it's not as funny as leaving behind passive-aggressive notes. Once you have a few conversations with your roommate, you can officially update your resume to include things like "conflict resolution."
But then we wouldn't have photos like this to look at and speculate about... come to think of it, keep it up with the notes everybody!
Cracked Up
It's not that hard to take your empty egg shells and put them in the trash where they belong! If you ever have to deal with this, remind your roommate of the mess they made. If they do it again, tell them it's their turn to buy the eggs and watch the tables turn.
What if someone woke up and wanted to make breakfast? You would owe them breakfast the next day, that's what.
The Day Your Roommate Moves Out
It's bittersweet to see your roommate move out and live somewhere else, but it's generally a day for celebration. Why not have one last hurrah by ordering several boxes of pizza for you and for your roommates?
It's a nice gesture of saying "Thanks for having me", and reflecting on the good old days before you totally despised each other. And you can build a fort out of the boxes later!
Real Considerate
Coming home to this after a long day of work or school must be lovely. It looks like it's now Matts's job to take care of this situation which is probably the last thing that he wants to do. It's the last thing anyone would want to do, really.
This is just a slap in the face since the roommate already managed to trap it but decided to wait until Matt gets home to handle it.
This Is Foul
If your roommate went to these lengths to send a message, you should probably start finding new roommates, and also avoid touching their hands for the rest of your life. There's no way this could have been accomplished without using your hands, so it looks like the roommate is the one that lost here.
We just hope they have some rubber gloves around the house that they can clean this hairy mess up with.
Why Hello There
These roommates leaving behind cut-outs and planting masks around their house need to stop. These are just getting weirder and weirder and we think that this one tops them all. That is far too realistic for anybody to just laugh off and could possibly really give someone a heart attack.
We love the way it looks like he's reaching around the corner to grab that jar of... change.. or whatever's in there.
Sorry, Eric
It looks to us, that Eric didn't do anything in particular to deserve this kind of treatment. Although his roommate did give him a heads up, we don't think that's going to cut it. Well, Eric, we all know that there's only one thing to get even after this kind of offense.
So get to it. And be sure to leave a really nice note for your roommate when you're done.
The Britta Dilemma
Again with the water... more specifically with the water filter. If you've ever had a roommate, you then know that the controversy over filling up the Britta is usually a big one.
Most times, a friendly reminder is good enough, but this roommate really went the extra mile by typing something up and adding some detailed illustrations. This is just annoying more than anything. We doubt anyone would want to move that paper out of the way to refill it.
A True Conundrum
Now, here we have a real ethical dilemma. Who is the right roommate? Is it Sydney for keeping her temper? Or is she wrong for continually using her roommate's coffee filters as notes? Maybe using the coffee filters as notepaper is the only way to get her roommate's attention.
We're siding with the person whose noodles were eaten... it's way more difficult to replace an entire container of noodles than it is a coffee filter, because filters come in packs of like 200.
Never Leave Anything Behind
If you had a roommate who skipped out on rent and bailed on the house, be sure they don't leave important stuff behind, like resumes. The resume is a train wreck that needs major improvements.
Sometimes repetition is key to getting your point across, but if it didn't work when they were trying to convince you that they did, in fact, pay the rent, it probably won't help them get that next job.
Will They Accept The Request?
This is what happens when you go around drinking your roommate's things and not replacing it immediately. You shouldn't have to ask what they want in return for it because they probably want their Red Bull back.
If you did drink their Red Bulls you should probably replace it before they even notice. Use your brain. Now they're going to ask for a pony or something ridiculous when you could have just replaced the energy drink.
Pure Savagery
We hope that this was a prank played on by a roommate out of love and not out of spite. Because if so, this is just cruel. It's not just like somebody just simply forgot to replace the roll, no, this was clearly done on purpose and this person wanted someone to suffer.
We hope that this person survived the walk of shame from the bathroom to wherever the TP is stored.
THAT Roomate
If you went to college, you may have had the kind of roommate that loved to come home drunk and break down their door. While it can be funny at first, it can eventually get annoying, especially when they don't replace the door.
Then they're forced to build a makeshift door when they might as well just have no door at all. This isn't safe at all, folks, not one bit.
This Is Just Evil
Imagine opening your cabinet and seeing this, unaware that your jokester of a roommate had planted it on one of your groceries. This would send any sane person sprinting down the street, never looking back. This is one way to either get rid of a roommate or seriously scare one.
Maybe it was Halloween and they were taking turns pranking each other. In that case, this is actually pretty OK in my book.
I Have Just The Thing
These roommates were dealing with a mouse in their house. One roommate said he was going out to get mouse traps and came back with this cat. Is this something to actually get mad at or does its cuteness make up for it?
What would be really bad is if one of the roommates was allergic to cats. Or if they just didn't want to have a pet cat... let's hope they were just borrowing Kitty from a friend for a few minutes!
My Precious
This person's roommate thought that it would be funny to put this life-size cut-out of Golem into his roommate's bathroom one night. We're sure that when they turned on the light during a midnight bathroom trip, a pretty loud shriek followed.
As if Golem wasn't creepy enough already, nobody wants him in their bathroom at night. I can't imagine how loudly I would scream if I saw this on a middle-of-the-night trip down the hallway.
In Case of Miracle...
It's no fun to live with somebody if you can't take jabs at each other every now and then. This is a completely harmless yet hilarious joke. Their roommate gave them this gift just in case the unthinkable ever happens.
Now, if the people living there hear glass shattering they know exactly what's going on. And they'll probably text all of their friends to tell them just what happened so they can embarrass the roomie in the morning.
Buy A Mannequin As A Joke
I'm pretty sure that's death checking the calendar to see what your schedule's like. When your roommate has been sick for a few days and is hopped up on cough syrup, this can be a great way to mess with their mind.
Who knows, maybe they'll switch that doctor's appointment from Friday to first thing Monday morning. And you'll get a chance to sleep in for the first time since Labor Day.
Hope You Like Beanie Babies!
This guy heard that his roommate was probably going to bring a girl home, so he did the only logical thing possible. He put a bunch of Beanie Babies onto his bed to make him look like a weirdo.
However, this prank could backfire if the girl is really into Beanie Babies... which might help his roommate's cause. This would actually be a great way to test a date. See how they react to the situation and whether they roll with the punches or not.
Never Going To Live It Down
Apparently, this person's friend sent them a picture of his roommate passed out drunk after peeing his pants. So, naturally, they turned the picture into a coffee mug so that his roommate has to see it every day.
This is an incredibly tasteful prank that will make sure the roommate will never live down this moment of shame. We just hope he doesn't bring the mug into the office to use while he's at work.
The "Stealthy" Roommate
We've all had that one roommate that thinks they're sly when they're stealing things, hoping that nobody notices. This person is taking it to the next level by replacing the batteries with Tootsie Rolls to try and make up for the lost weight.
We can't tell if this is just another spectrum of laziness or some kind of genius. We're going to side with "genius," though, because it's not every day you see a Tootsie Roll prank.
Very Funny
In case you were wondering, yes that is a picture of the bottom of the sink resting on top of some dirty dishes. If I was this person's roommate I don't even think that I could get mad over this.
This is a pretty clever move on their part but that seems like an awfully big piece of paper to print out. Maybe they ordered it online ahead of time, which seems like a great gift idea for the prankster in your life.
