Everyone’s had a roommate who doesn’t understand personal boundaries, especially when it comes to food.

After catching his roommate “borrowing” one too many snacks, one man came up with a petty but perfect plan.

By the end of it, the thief’s fingers (and his work laptop) were glowing orange with remorse.

Read on to find out how it all played out!

My Best Friend Learned Why You Don’t Steal My Snacks

So my roommate has this terrible habit of “just borrowing” my stuff… usually food.

I’ll grab some snacks, leave them in my room, and by the time I’m craving them… boom, gone.

Last week, I splurged on this giant bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

He had been looking forward to this bag of cheetos.

They were MY special treat after a rough week. I put them in my room with a note that literally said, “Jake, I will END you if you eat these.”

Naturally… they disappeared the next day.

This was the final straw for him, so he decided to teach Jake a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget.

Now, I’m not into yelling or drama. I prefer petty revenge. So I came up with the most harmless but glorious prank.

Jake has a desk job and hates getting up once he sits down.

So he decided to pack Jake a little surprise for the next day.

So the night before, while we were hanging out, I snuck into his backpack and filled the entire bottom pocket with a bunch of loose Cheetos (like not even in a bag! 🤣). I crushed them into Cheeto dust too, so it was extra messy.

Next morning, he grabs his laptop and notes like usual. What he didn’t realize is that he had a meeting with his boss later.

The fallout was even messier than expected.

He reaches in his bag at work, and BAM!!!!!!! 💥 Bright orange Cheeto apocalypse all over his important paperwork and laptop.

I got a furious text: “DUDE. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BAG?!”

Needless to say, Jake finally learned the error of his ways.

He was mad for a day, but then admitted it was fair play. He’s also stopped stealing my snacks (so far).

Petty revenge complete.

Jake sure learned a valuable lesson that day.

Redditors chime in with their thoughts.

This act of petty revenge couldn’t have ended any better!

This commenter would personally never stoop this low.

This user knows what it’s like to have a roommate steal your food.

Everyone should feel safe to enjoy their snacks on their own terms.

The mess: legendary. The lesson: unforgettable.
