My roommate’s constant demands for gourmet groceries with promises of repayment that never came were pushing me to my breaking point. The final straw was when she asked for a whole list of premium items for a party. I knew I had to teach her a lesson, and boy, did I ever!I never thought I’d find myself plotting revenge against a roommate, but here we are. It all started about a year ago when Taryn and I moved into our cozy little apartment in the city.
At first, everything was great. We split chores, had movie nights, and even went out for drinks a few times. But then, slowly, the cracks began to show. Taryn was one of those people who seemed to have a knack for getting others to do things for her. She had this way of asking that made you feel guilty for even thinking of saying no. It started small. “Hey Kelly, could you grab some milk on your way home? I’ll pay you back,” she’d ask. No big deal, right? But then it escalated. See, part of the problem is that Taryn has expensive tastes. “Kelly, could you pick up some of that fancy truffle cheese for me? It’s for a study snack. I’ll pay you back, I swear!” Spoiler alert: she never did. At first, I brushed it off. Taryn was busy, or at least she claimed to be.
