If he truly believes that then yes he is. But I believe he kept those hundreds of dollars for himself.

#18 I agree... Of course there's a bunch of stupid people out there, but to think a flat piece of plastic with a signature on the back will malfunction on contact with water seems almost too stupid...

Not any sort of dumb ass, Red Foreman approved

Aye. Roommate should replace them

Definitely the way to go! Sorry OP

I would make the room mate search it.

It's easy access for the roommate to hundreds of dollars, by the way. Are you sure he threw them away? He could be smarter than we think!

@clemscott...who's to say she was victim blaming...to me it seems she's asking a genuine question...and to be truthful it's a question I was going to ask as well

#10 By the sounds of this FML, OP had the gift cards just laying on the counter, probably by the sink, where anyone could easily find them (or spill water on them apparently). Even if I have the most trustworthy, honest roommates in the world, I wouldn't keep anything valuable like that within their sights. FYL OP for having a shitty roommate, but you also deserve it for being careless with your gift cards.

I agree, the roommate stole them. take them to small claims court, dont forget to ask for court fees! even if they didn't steal them they are still responsible.

I read that in Jensens voice ^^
