Sometimes, the way you say something matters more than the actual words you speak. People occasionally forget that the inspirational wise words our parents constantly repeated to us when we were little can actually save us from a great deal of hardship. 

The story below is an account of a frustrated roommate. OP’s apartment is shared with both a child and a single mother. Occasionally, they would take portions of OP’s food for themselves. But, now, in contrast to when they initially moved in, mother and child regularly help themselves to OP’s meals. Therefore, OP is now buying and cooking meals for three people rather than just herself, which has a detrimental effect on her finances and emotional well-being because she frequently returns from work hungry and with nothing on the shelves. 

As a result, OP devised a clever plan to exact revenge on the roommate in order to prevent her from eating all of her food—without getting permission, mind you. So, if you are curious to find out what transpired between OP and the single mom, check out the story below! And when you’re done, be sure to read the story about a petty family that leaves the restaurant a bad review in an attempt to get an extra discount!
