Guy Steals From Roommates, Skips Town, Loan Sharks Intervene


Kevin is a contender for the worst roommate of all time. Regardless of whether this story's real or not, the dude who shared it painted quite the picture. You've got a lazy and aimless roommate caught up in a terrible cycle of self-destructive gambling that ultimately manifests in him stealing, and being hunted down by some formidable loan sharks. If this is indeed a real story and they sent Kevin's old roommates that Christmas card with the money they were owed, that's sweeter than hot cocoa on Christmas Eve.

Text - r/NuclearRevenge Join u/ack1308 · 7d Loan Sharked This is the story of someone I used to know. I posted it r/StoriesAboutKevin so we'll call him Kevin. first in He needed a place to stay, and my mate needed someone to help pay the rent, so he moved in. Apart from a few minor dietary habits, such as walking around the house drinking chocolate milk from a 2L bottle and not putting it back in the fridge as the sour smell slowly grows, it seemed to be fine.

Text - In the meantime, he wasn't getting what he considered an adequate wage from taxi driving (which is fair), so he got a job at a bakery. But then he decided to go the whole hog and started gambling online. He had a system, you see. But the system still needed refining. A lot. He was shovelling money into it, and still not getting a return. But to ask him, he was just a few days away from getting the big jackpot. But he didn't have the money to make it work. So he borrowed from a loan shark.

Text - The next morning, after my mate went to work, Kevin went around to the power and phone companies and had everything cut off, and got the bond for each of them back. Then he grabbed his pre-packed bags and vanished down south. (I'm guessing he'd been getting "Where is my money" from the loan shark). My mate gets home, everything's turned off. Everything in the fridge is either spoiled or well on the way there. He has to run around, get everything reconnected, restock the fridge, and cover

Text - So then, a few days later, he gets a knock on the door. "Are you Kevin?" These are big guys, wearing white shirts with ties. Very polite, but they're ripped as feck and he can see the tatts through the white material. He's fully aware of who and what they are, and he's able to start making a guess as to why they're there. He invites them in, proves that he's not Kevin, then shows them documentation of what Kevin pulled on him. They're sympathetic, and on the way out one of them gives him

Text - He puts the card on the fridge. A few months later, Kevin calls from where he's vanished to, asking for his share of the rental bond. Never mind that he never put any money into it in the first place. So my mate says, "Sure. Where can I mail it to?" Kevin rattles off an address. "No worries. It'll be on your doorstep before you know it."

Text - My mate hangs up, takes the card off the fridge, and makes a call. "So, you wanted to know where Kevin was?" That Christmas, he got a card from the loan shark with $500 in it. 388 22 1 Share
