In a bustling hostel with communal plug boards, it’s crucial to navigate the shared space with care.

When a fellow boarder messes with her phone charger and risks damaging her device, she decide to give her a lesson in plug etiquette she won’t soon forget.

Read on for the full story!

Hostelmate almost got my Phone damaged, Now I’m a nuisance to her.

So I stay at a large multi-storied ladies hostel. And we don’t have plug boards in our rooms.

Probably because precaution since there’s like 400 of us and someone may plug a straightener or iron box in their room and leave it on and close the room and no one will know until its too late.

The hostel has a different solution.

Instead, we have a community plug board with about 15 plug holes in each floor. These plug holes have their own respective switches near each of em.

(Also we’re Indian, so plugboard culture MAY differ from reader’s).

And a few of those plug holes don’t even work.

Needless to say, working plug holes are a bit of a commodity.

But there’s one plughole that always makes sounds and doesn’t work when we plug phones in.

So one day, I plug my phone to charge and went to have breakfast.

They found something infuriating when they returned.

Later when I returned, my phone was changed from the original plug hole I put it in and this girl has put hers in the hole I used.

Now that would have been okay BUT, there was PLENTY of plug holes free but she chose to take my phone and charger off THAT particular hole and put in hers.

And to add insult to injury…

And not only that, she plugged my phone on that faulty sound making plug hole and had switched it on!!!

My phone wasn’t charging obviously, BUT given the nature of that one plug which makes sound like small cracklings, my phone could’ve gotten damaged.

I am BROKE for these people’s stupidity.

She wouldn’t soon forget this act of electronic betrayal.

I kept in my mind, her phone case colour and charger colour.

So nowadays, whenever the girl with the pink phone case, black charger plugs her phone in, I check if someone is around and turns off the switch of the plug hole she plugged it in.

She’s relentless.

I’ve done it MANY times now, I’ll do it until I feel I’ve done enough.

That tapoica shell can deal with her now always half charged phone.

Sometimes it’s worth playing the long game to get back at someone who wronged you.

What did Reddit think?

Psychological petty revenge is the best kind.

This redditor has another great idea to mess with her.

Her revenge may sound harsh, but many people would do much worse.

Forget the plug hole. Why not cut off her energy supply more permanently?

After this slow burn revenge, it’s unclear whether her sanity or phone battery will run out first.

What unplugs around, comes around.
