During my college years, I grew tight with my then roommate. He was a couple years old than me and I did seek for his advice on a few matters. To put it in a better perspective, there were 6 of us in a house and we were all students. Both of us became close and one day, I introduced my classmate to him. They hit it off and became a couple few weeks later. I was cool with it. That was the purpose of me introducing the girl to him anyway.

Then a few months later, I got a gf myself and my roommate and I hung out less after that. For some reason, his gf didn’t mesh well with other housemates and my gf did. Since both our gfs stays in the same house a lot of the time, I felt it would be fair to share the utilities equally among us. I offered to pay the part of my gf and it is up to him to do what he wants. He didn’t pay for his gf and we just left it at that. As time goes, animosity grew between us and my roommate and his gf. Habits and little things start to accumulate. Things such as them not cleaning the kitchen after cooking, extended time showering together in the shared bathroom hence hogging precious bathroom time in the morning, etc. etc. Things got bad after a while and arguments broke out and everybody made it clear that his gf needs to leave the place and help keep the place clean. Unfortunately I was put in a position where I had to take sides and I leaned away from my roommate and his gf. This pissed him off and we are not in good terms after that.

Money was tight as we were all students and my roommate took a part time job in Carrefour. He works as a cashier and one day, he came back with all kinds of groceries and CD sets which I’m sure he can’t afford to buy. Later, we found out he got his gf to go buy all these stuff and queue on his lane and he would just pretend to scan the items.

I minded my own business and when the time comes to end the lease, my roommate decides to leave the house. Few weeks after he left, the phone bill arrived and that asshole racked up the phone bill making international calls and the bill is under my name. I got stuck paying for it.

With that wound on my back, I decided to call Carrefour and gave Carrefour the details of my roommate and informed them of their Modus Operandi.

Called Carrefour back a few weeks later and the manager got on the phone and told me they caught him red handed. They thanked me and told me he managed to get his family to wire him some money and pleaded to let him go, which unfortunately, Carrefour did let him go and terminated his employment.
