Sometimes actions speak so much louder than words…

Here are my Top 5 revenge tactics to annoy those housemates who just beg to be annoyed.

1) Soyled: Sam drinks Soy milk and everyone else drinks normal milk, so every now and then I leave the soy milk out so it starts to go off, then put it back in the fridge and my favourite housemate can never work out why it always seems to go off.

2) WifoFum: Sam uses wifi to connect to our internet connection from his laptop in his bedroom or the couch, so now and then I log into our wifi router from the safety of my bedroom, and turn on the MAC address filter so it blocks out unknown computers. Our computers are on the list of known computers so arent impacted, but his isnt, so he loses all internet, complains about how his computer is stuffed, and a few hours later after he has tried calling everyone he knows, I turn the MAC filter off so his computer can see the internet again.

3) ShowerFreeZone: I get up 2 hours before Sam each work day and leave just before he does, so I have my normal nice long shower, then now and then turn off the hot water system so it fills back up with nice cold water which isnt heated. An hour or so later about 5 mintues before he gets up for work and is ready for his shower, I re-light the hot water system, and he can never work out why he has no cold water for a shower as the hot water system seems to be working just fine for everyone else an hour ago, and is lit when he checks it.

4) CoolZone: Just before leaving for work on a lovely cool winter’s day when you know your housemate is home all day, make sure the house is nice and warm so they know for sure the heating is working. Then turn off the power to the central heating, but leave the pilot light lit. The house quickly cools, and my housemate can never work out why. He checks the pilot light, but doesnt know to check the power cord is plugged in as it is hidden in a different area to the pilot light.

5) SaveTheTrees: Its funny how when we are close to running out of toiletpaper, running out always seems to coincide with just before Sam awakes before work…5 minutes befoe I leave for work! Especially funny when Sam is responsible for buying the toilet paper that week so has noone to blame except himself.

So, any tips on other tactics I should know about – do tell!
