Guy Turns His Roommate’s Mess Into A “Passive-Aggressive Art Gallery”, And It’s Hilarious
What would you do if you had a really messy roommate? Would you clean after him, try to reason with him or find more creative ways of getting your point through?
Comedian Justin Cousson chose to fight this war the most creative and hilarious way ever. He created a passive-aggressive gallery where he turns his housemate’s messes into a series of unique art pieces.
So far, it doesn't look like this kind of shaming is working that well, but at least it's making the Internet laugh.

Coming soon: "Did roommate got the message??" Dark but ingenious sense of humor! I love it!
There's no way to avoid jerks like this. I've had them, so I figured I'd learned my lesson so one time I wrote up list of house rules we both were to sign before she moved in to my place. I naively thought it would put us on the same page so there could be no arguments since we both agreed on the same rules in writing. Nope. Less than a week in she started going "What's the big deal?". Then I pointed to the list of rules she signed and she rolled her eyes. Many people seriously lack empathy. The day I was moving out she put all of my stuff into the hallway of hte building and started painting the bathroom, then claimed she was trying to help me. I absolutely lost it.
This is the most active passive-aggressive reaction I've ever seen.
thought the same great hand writing but the room mate get rid of him they dont change wht did my mother teach me
When my son was living home, his biggest sin was to leave endless glasses in his room. He never brought them down unless I took a hissy fit to tell him off. One of my few "good parenting" efforts, came about when I once found a live maggot in a glass. I promptly returned the glass and it's inhabitant to the lad's room complete with a note saying This maggot belongs to Chris! I was trying to shame him, but it didn't work. Proud to report he is a changed man now !
Talk about passive aggressive. Sure the mess is annoying, but the room mates response to it is even worse. Just grow a pair of balls and have a coversation with your damn room mate.
I had a room mate who was worse than this. Her response to my protestations: "If it bothers you, don't look at it"... So I started dumping her mess in front of her bedroom door. It didn't help.
