Excessive revenge?

depending on if theres any damage file a complaint of criminal damage and **** over his visa/customs Canada and the USA seem to take their immigration seriusly ;)


If he hasn't left yet then the full cavity search will be a nice surprise :p


also possibly report him to the airport etc as being a drug mule (suspected only of course ;) )

Yeah, wrecking someone's property and stinking their home out for weeks or months is so funny.

To some people.

How about chucking a brick through someone's window for laughs? Or keying their car? Although both of those are one-offs that don't stink.

I've got it! Smash a window of their car and empty a bottle of old urine over the seats and carpet.

Hahahhahaha, so funny. Oh my, please wait while I stitch up the sides that I split laughing.

People who find joy in particularly nasty-minded vandalism should have their joy "killed".

No, too extreme, and if you ask me, the keyword is there. Vandalism. A prank should entail humour, not solely for the perpitrator of said prank, but for those around who witness it too.
Keying, smashing windows, etc etc, logically should contain no humour, as that is merely destruction, no humorous method or erstwhile process contained.

The key to the topic is 'excessive'. I suppose really, anything that causes any degree of damage ought to be deemed excessive, in that it grows beyond the boundaries of merely humour, by encorporating the damage.

Reading the OP again, for the most part, the pranks sound as though they would merely cause the objects to be dirtied, not destroyed. Staining is another debatable, I suppose, and if that is counted as destruction, the only real cuplrit would be the sofa. Bedsheets can be replaced with ease, and should be replaced not infrequently anyway if anyone wants to maintain decent comfort levels and cleanliness levels from them. The sofa is harder to replace. As for the chicken in the PC, unless it was placed on top of any of the components, I cannot see how it would cause physical damage to the PC iteslf.
 
I guess, simplified, what I mean in my above post is - Vandalism is Vandalism, not a prank. This is a prank. Lighten up, there's no need to instantly start comparing this prank to simple, mindless acts of vandalism and callous destruction.
 
You're describing just vandalism and the destruction of someone's property, whereas the worst this guy's "target" will suffer is he'll spend £10 getting his coat dry-cleaned to get rid of the mouldy shrimp smell. The financial cost incurred is only a tiny part of the revenge - the humour comes from the days upon dyas of ihm wandering around his room curling up his nose, trying to find out where the smell comes from, then the lurch of disgust in his stomach as he discovers a piece of rotten meat and has the yucky job of disposing of it and cleaning the affected area, then waiting for days for the smell to go away only to discover it's getting stronger until he eventually discovers MORE rotten meat somewhere else (just picturing it is making me grin), and then the final straw of absolute vomit-inducing disgust as he puts on his winter coat, puts his hands in the pockets and discovers a pocketful of rotten goo that was once a tasty invertebrate snack!:D

Besides, I've lived with some filthy people in rented property and if it was anything like what I hda to go through, his "revenge" is quite tame in exchange for a year of having to live in someone else's filth. Plus if he's as bad as is being claimed they'll probably lose their deposit because of him, which is usually a month's rent or more, so the guy in the OP has actually incurred significant financial damage because of this guy, compared to which a few shrimp in his pockets and a £20 dry-cleaning bill is nothing.

The difference being? Apart from what you personally consider funny - some people consider smashing windows and keying cars funny.

Which neatly explains why I think this is worse than straightforward vandalism, like smashing a car window. This isn't just some mindless yob smashing a window because it entertains them and their packmates. It's far more vicious than that.

The cost will be more than £10 to replace an undetermined amount of winter jackets (dry cleaning won't repair the damage done by the insects), having a sofa recovered, maybe a new mattress and maybe a lost damage deposit.

As said, there's a difference in the costs, painting a car may cost hundreds, this will cost 20 at most...


That aside, cars are something you are emotionally attached to, or car fans are any ways, they feel bad when their car gets damaged as it's a part of you...

Most students however, couldn't care less about their furniture, beds, how clean their clothes are, etc... I know I wouldn't miss my bed stuff if someone messed it up...

Anyways he can just wash it and with a bit of work ( say 2 hours ) he can clean his house again... It's more or less a prank because the damage is just so small and easy to fix, there's no need to get over-reacted about, sure you might be angry at first, but it's not like with your pride and joy, if someone keys your car you feel like hunting them down and breaking all their bones...

It depends all on the time and money required to fix things, and how attached people are to certain objects that decides how severe vandalism is and how to distinguish true pointless vandalism or just a prank...
 
As said, this will cost a lot more than £20.

You're projecting your own evaluation of the relative importance of your various possessions onto other people.

You could leave stale urine soaking into a car's interior for several days, weeks, months (months was the stated time period for some of the vandalism in the OP) and then spend, say, 2 hours washing it. It's just material, like in the OP. You could also get the broken car window replaced for probably less than the cost of replacing clothing, recovering or replacing the sofa, etc.

Deliberate damage to property with considerable thought put into making that damage as disgusting as possible for the victim and taking great pleasure in imagining their days, weeks and months of disgust is, in my opinion, much worse than pointless vandalism.

Okay having thought about it I kind of agree with you, it's both pointless vandalism, that leaves the question, what did the guy do for example, I think that even though I'm against it, I'd probably do the same if the person I'm living with is ( for example, warning long example) waking me up all the time when I want to sleep ( this is the worst, I really really get ****** if my people start making un-necessary noise like arguing, I lose control kind of and start shouting at them myself from my bed, in this case my parents because I really hate being waked unneeded, I mean if they would do something useful like repair something then I wouldn't mind, but they get up way too early and start shouting at each other it's strating to pee me off more and more ) , making a mess of the room, bathroom and kitchen, downloading porn all the time making online gaming impossible, using my pc without permission or even damaging it, coming into my room, stealing my beers/food, etcetc.
In short
Making my life unpleasant for long periods of time...

I'd really over time get mad enough to do a similar type of revenge...
 
It depends what he done. Being "petty" sounds like a pretty lame reason but it's impossible to say what he had to live with. I personally wouldn't see the funny side so the stakes would be upped considerably. I hope he's ready for the consequences unless the victim is a wimp.

Really though, unless i'm missing something, the guy will be going back to that house to live with the guy? So wont he just do the same thing while he's "off home for a few months"?
