Some people are afraid of confrontations, so they find other ways to express themselves.

This woman has a roommate who would leave condescending little notes around their apartment.

She asked her to stop and just talk to her privately, but she refused.

So she decided that if her roommate wanted to play the passive-aggressive game, she’d just play it better.

Read the full story below for all the details.

Had enough of my roommates tantrums

My roommate is obsessed with being the most responsible person in the apartment.

She leaves notes about daily work, bills, and fridge space, and somehow still manages to act like a victim.

Classic “I do everything around here” energy even though she does the bare minimum and expects applause.

This woman asked her roommate to stop leaving notes all over the house.

She once taped a reminder above the sink that said, “Some of us weren’t raised in a village.”

This was because I left one plate for ten minutes.

I asked her to stop leaving notes and just talk to me like a normal person.

She said she “doesn’t like confrontation” and kept doing it.

When the roommate refused, she did the same thing.

So, I started playing her game, but better.

Whenever she left a note, l’d follow it up with one of my own.

She taped one saying, “Whose dirty Tupperware is this?”

So, l wrote, “Not mine. Yours has your sad oats in it,” and left it right next to hers.

The roommate eventually stopped posting notes.

She posted, “Please respect shared spaces” on the bathroom door.

So, I put, “Clean up your fake lashes and existential dread then” under it.

Eventually, she stopped leaving notes completely and started texting passive-aggressively instead.

l ignore those.

Now, the kitchen is sparkly clean.

The kitchen has never been cleaner.

She now washes her dishes like she’s being watched by God himself.

I know I was being petty, but I was also being precise. I am not her mother and this is not a kindergarten classroom.

Did I do right?

Giving her roommate a taste of her own medicine really seemed to work!
