College Senior Pours Sulfur On Her Roommate's Bed After Being Subjected To A Two-Hour Conversation With Her Mom Who Scolded Her For Being Unfriendly To Her Daughter
A college student lived with a terrible roommate for three years before they finally had enough of each other. OP's smelly revenge was the straw that broke the camel's back.
She explained what pushed her to take matters into her own hands. Her roommate made her help scrub their room, walls included, when she moved in.
They scrubbed for four hours in over 100° heat. OP's roommate insisted they clean thrice a week for a minimum of two hours to keep their room pristine.
OP followed the schedule for a month before giving up. She told her roommate she would help keep their room tidy, but she wouldn't abide by the schedule and time limit.
After her weekend stays at her boyfriend's apartment, OP returned to her food mysteriously spilled and rotten all over their dorm. She apologized to her roommate when she thought her drunken self caused the mess.
Her roommate installed a taped border to designate which side of the dorm was their responsibility. She cleaned her side of the border while she threw trash on OP's side of the room.
She let one of her friends sleep on OP's bed. When OP reminded her of their dorm policy about overnight visitors and asked her to wash the bedsheet her guest used, she said they were OP's responsibility.
OP invited her to dinner with her friends when she asked about her plans since she had none. She called OP's friends lame and declined the invitation.
u/collegekit13OP overheard her ranting to her boyfriend about her terrible roommate who left her alone with nothing to do.
u/collegekit13This led to OP being subjected to a mind-boggling conversation with her roommate's mom who insisted she be more social with her daughter.
u/collegekit13She scolded OP for using the dorm to sleep and shower. She asked her to stay in the dorm room more because OP was one of the few people in campus who tolerated her daughter.
u/collegekit13OP had enough. She sprinkled sulfur on her roommate's bed when she was away for the weekend. OP was at her boyfriend's apartment when her roommate asked her to come help her clean. There was a rotten egg smell somewhere. OP told her it was her side of the dorm that smelled, she can't help.

u/collegekit13Her roommate wasn't terrible all the time
u/collegekit13
They didn't disrupt each other's academic life or finances for the heck of it. They were mean to each other, but not in a life-ruining way.

OP said she didn't want to be the first to move out because they lived in a premium dorm room by their college's dorm standards

A lot of commenters were hung up on the detail that college students had a 10 p.m. curfew. OP explained the administration was more lenient with students who weren't freshmen.

OP doubted if her roommate's need to keep their room clean was bourne out of a compulsion.

Mostly, Redditors just thought OP and her roommate were both immature jerks who treated each other horribly

It's clear that OP will not be roommates with any of the Redditors who commented on her post. Some thought pouring sulfur on another person's bed was extreme.
Others chalked it up to typical young people's behavior. Strangers' opinions were inconsequential to OP since she got what she wanted — one of the terrible people in that dorm moved out.
