I [Heart] Tormenting You

Comments

1
Malicious mischief they call that door knob thing. Man, you are a mess.
2
You have bigger issues than you could possibly dream up for this ex-roomie.
3
Most "crack houses" I have had experience living near, if a person tried to superglue the door lock, the crack dealers would come out and beat the shit out of them or worse. People couldn't even park their god-damned cars in front of them without getting threatened. So how did you manage to superglue crackhouse door locks, I wonder.

Wow. Six months later and you're still holding a grudge over $300?
5
When did I, anon become I, asshole? Move on doofus.
6
Way to have so little going on in your life that you can obsess about $300 for six months...I'm sure just one more prank will make everything wrong in your life seem right.
7
Wow, you have nothing better to do with your life than fuck with someone over something so shallow? Find some meaning and purpose and move the fuck on crybaby!
8
What next, burning dog poop on the doorstep? That'd show the bastard.
9
You are my hero.
10
That's why you always have to have a contract. Next time, try http://www.rha-ps.com if you need assistance. Be a responsible landlord.
11
Oh man, there're some people I'd like to do that to. Thing is, I don't do those things b/c I know I'd feel shi++y afterwards...

There is a particular, manipulating ex from my past who I'd love to call HUD on, to get him kicked out of his "family" apartment that only he lives in.
12
must be nice living in Seattle, or at least in the areas where $300 is "forget about it" money.
13
Fuck Yeah! make the mofo pay!

Paybacks a bitch baby and it's cheaper than therapy.
14
@2 suddenlyorcas: Hmmmm....yeah. It sounds like anon's got a psychotic streak going.

@4 TV Dinner: I agree that I wouldn't obsess, but $300 is still a bit of change to me. But then I don't live in Seattle, either.

@8 turtlemilk: LOL!! But I seriously wouldn't really want to see growing hostility like that escalate!

16
whoa, this anon is a psycho. 6 months of shit moves is far more messed up than someone falling behind on one month's rent. Owing a friend money isn't cool, but the level of psychopathia involved in sending several junk faxes a day (amongst other moves) for 6 months is unbelievable, and in the end, way more fucked.
17
If you're still butthurt about this six months later, something's wrong with you. You need to get a life and move on, already. I had a shitty roommate who mooched off me for months, stank up my house, and never paid a dime of rent. Once I got the last of her stuff out, I was over it five minutes later.
18
Jesus Christ. Your fault for not getting a deposit up front. Do you think every landlord flips the fuck out if someone skips their last month's rent? No, they have that covered. I hope your "friend" figures it out and calls the fucking cops on you.
20
This post smacks. Whoever Anonymous is, it isn't the prankster. I'ts someone they foolishly snickered to.
21
Petty and vindictive. Must be a girl.
22
Because nothing says "Revenge" quite like a few well-timed faxes.
23
Faxes are not really that disturbing. I'd say you lack imagination.
24
6 months? Can't you just call it even and move on?
25
#22 for the win. Super glue the car doors, and trunk, then it's off to confession!
26
Am I the only one who thought IA was being sarcastic and maybe it's the ex-roommate/crackhead who in a paranoid state is accusing IA of doing those heinous and utterly obnoxious revenge moves?
27
I do not know this fax you speak of.
29
Ummm... what are you faxing him that's so torturous? If it's something as mature and well-thought-out as this column, I doubt he cares much.
30
I happen to be in the unfortunate position of being on the bad side of someone who I believe is more of the "pranks for revenge" disposition rather than "discuss the issue" disposition.

I'm expecting some games to be played at my expense over the next month or two.

Does anyone have any advice or know anything about the kind of personality (or psychopath as some of you have said)?

I'm curious about this kind of character. Don't think he's a psychopath per se, but just want to know what I'm in for.
31
Passive agressive seattle.

Just man up and beat the shit out of him, that is how I handle unpaid money.
32
Wait, your ex roommate has a fax machine? What is he, a tyrannosaur?
33
It's more than the $300. Oh yeah, having some fun!
34
Re the fax thing: if you've ever had someone accidentally try to fax something to your voice line, and the machine has an auto re-dial, it can get pretty fuckin' annoying after picking up for the twentieth time to hear "Beep. Beep. Beep."
35
I had a room mate who was a cocknigger.

For the last 3 months before my lease was up, I pissed in his body wash every day when I took a shower. Wiped gooch sauce on the lip of his cans of beer. And stole whatever the fuck I wanted.

Even afterwards I posted a shit ton of craigslist ads with his number and filled his voicemail.
36
@ 35 ...is a testament to psychotic illness. I have no idea what a 'cocknigger' is, nor do i care, but no one deserves to be treated the way jiggaboojones treated his room mate.

I know people who smile at me and say pleasingly nice things to me in the presence of others, then in private are the nastiest, craziest, meanest people, and there are too many people in the world like this. No much wonder the world is in the trouble it's in.

Why can't we just live and let live?
37
@ 34... yes, and did you know that you can text a land line, and as long as the landline people don't answer the phone, it will just keep ringing and ringing ad infinitum. We had this happen to us once, and we didn't answer because call display said "unknown caller", so we assumed it was a telemarketer. But the phone just rang incessently. We later learned that it was an idiot trying to text us on our land line. They got angry with us for not answering. New technology sometimes baffles me, but why-o-why would someone text a landline? They desperately wanted to have the spotlight on them, and this was their way of getting attention.

Faxes? Amateur! Spam their e-mail account with weight loss and viagra ads.
39
Spam email? Amateur! It'll get filtered right out. Enroll them in free snail-mail porn/kink, preferably at their work address.
40
real mature, ya dillweed.
41
@21: Not necessarily.

Please wait...
