In college, my friend’s roommate was a snivelly little weasel who managed to alienate everyone on the floor. We would do terrible things to him…
- We short-sheeted his bed. He managed to kick his feet all the way through them.
– We pushed a raisin into his toothpaste tube, and put more toothpaste on top. When it popped out, he was convinced it had gone “bad” and threw it away.
– He made an irritating ritual of eating oreo cookies just before bed, slowly, methodically, crunching away beatifically with his eyes closed while my friend lay there with the covers over his head. We broke into his cookie cabinet, surgically removed all the filling from the cookies, and replaced it with toothpaste. He tasted every damn one before tossing them.
– We split an electrical cord, removed single copper wires from it, and wrapped them around the plug-prongs on his electric razor. When he plugged it in, they would short-circuit with a massive flash. We did this every morning for a week until he threw it away.
He never suspected a thing. On the last day of the year, we decorated the tree outside his window with his clothes on hangers, and filled his drawers with pine-cones and his closet with pine branches.
We were so stupid. I hope I’ve worked off my karma for that stuff.
