Well, that taught 'emSammi Evil Nice writes "I shared with two students, and it was always the same; whenever it was near to paytime, my milk *and only this* would disappear.
One of them, John, was a lovely bloke but allergic to nuts. John makes tea. Soon after, John starts swelling up.
ME: Runs, administers epi-pen. "You're going into anaphalactic shock."
HIM: "How do you know?"
ME: "I put almond oil in my milk."
What have you done to teach somebody a lesson?

A lesson not so much unheeded as simply not understoodI've mentioned the loopy bloke I once shared a house with before. His OCD-like habits meant that we eventually had to chuck him out. This was the last straw:
Came home to discover rubbish all over the kitchen floor. We were lazy students and when the kitchen bin got full did we empty it? No, we hung a plastic bag on the door handle and used that for overflow. You know, until _that_ got full.
Anyway, he'd decided that the bag was his bin and that he wasn't going to tolerate other people's rubbish in it, and so had dumped what wasn't his on the floor.
We had words. He shut himself in his room.
This went on for a couple of days, until, out of sheer frustration rather than a real attempt to teach him a lesson, I filled up the bag with cold porridge and anything else vaguely disgusting and sticky I could find. (No, not that. This was the opening salvo)
I returned later on to discover he'd carefully gone through all that goo and separated it from his precious rubbish. He wasn't angry (well, angrier), just ignored it completely. How frustrating is that? You come up with a nice childish way to solve a problem and he ignores it!
It was at this point we realised we either had to think up even worse things to put in there, or just chuck him out. Decision made, I went to have words, only for him to announce that he was leaving, "because we lived like pigs." Bastard.
