2. I Locked Them Out

Back in college, I was living in a house with three of my friends. One of these friends was a bad roommate. Never cleaned, never chipped in on shared resources (cleaning supplies, etc.), you get the gist.
Well, it became even more unbearable to live with him when he decided to have his girlfriend move in without consulting any of us. She never contributed to rent and also didn’t clean. He gave her his copy of our house key, and she moved in.
Even after attempts of talking to him about it, he didn’t agree with us. We’d ask why they couldn’t spend some time at her place, and he said it was because she lived with her parents on the other side of town.
Our house had 3 floors, and each floor had a door that was unlocked by the house key. The house also had a front door that was always unlocked, that none of us had a key to. Roommate and his girlfriend would always go out at night and come back late. Maybe you can see my petty revenge brewing already.
One night, they went out, and I decided to lock the front door so they couldn’t get back in. In the wee hours of the morning, they tried to come back, but the front door was locked.
After banging on the door, trying to throw rocks at our window, etc., they finally gave up, and he was forced to go back to her place, where he should’ve been all along. Had to get an Uber to go all the way to the other side of town too. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
