Creating boundaries with roommates can be tricky. But what happens when a little petty revenge is in the mix?

In today’s story, read how one Redditor’s tainted brownie batch draws a line in the sand.

His roommates may not eat a brownie ever again!

Let’s find out all the details…

Steal my food? Enjoy the diarrhea

Back when I was in college, I rented a room in an apartment with shared kitchen and bathroom.

The landlord didn’t care who he rented to, and after moving in, [I] found that the two guys I was sharing the place with were heroin addicts and would steal any food in the cupboards or fridge.

But no one wanted to take the blame for the meal thefts…

I tried confronting them about it, but each one would just blame the other.

Cue the petty revenge.

This roommate got creative in the kitchen to make a statement.

I bought some brownie mix and a pack of Ex-Lax, baked the brownies with about 12 doses in the pan, figured they’d eat one or two, get the runs, and I’d have a good laugh about it and tell them to leave my food alone.

Imagine my surprise when I came home a couple days later and found every single brownie gone.

And, boy, did this dessert duo pay the price…

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of puking followed by dry heaving. It went on for a while, and I worried that they’d need to go to hospital.

The next day, I asked one of them if they’d [gotten] sick, and he replied that he felt like everything in his body had tried to get out by any path, all at the same time.

I never told him it was me because the result was way more extreme than I’d meant.

Those results were pretty extreme! Let’s see what Reddit thinks!
