For many of us out there, playing video games is a way to bond with the people we care about the most, but different schedules, time zones, and priorities might make it hard to find the time to play with all your friends.

When it comes to gaming with your partner, it should be a little easier. On the contrary, that's clearly not always the case. A Reddit user who goes by Ok_Comparison_4487 wanted to play Call of Duty with her boyfriend, who promptly fell asleep and didn't wake up for the rest of the night. So she got her petty revenge by hiding all the power cords and HDMI cables so he couldn't play while she was at work.

It Seems That OP And Her Boyfriend Don't Play Together As Much As She'd Like.

She shares that he wanted to play with her one evening. He was setting things up as she showered, but when she came out, he was asleep. She tried to wake him up, but he said he wanted to nap for a little bit. He ended up sleeping for the rest of the night, and OP decided to play on her own.

The next day, she was about to go for work when she decided to hide all the cables and cords he'd need, so he wouldn't be able to play without her. The boyfriend tries to call her at work, and even goes in at one point to ask where all the cables are. OP says nothing, and even gets her boss to say nothing as well.

When she came home after work, OP saw that her boyfriend had eventually found the cables, but it did take him a long time.

Many laughed, with some even pointing out that it could've been worse. At least he fell asleep before gaming instead of during a match.

Most people who play video games have all sorts of spare cables lying around. Except this guy, apparently. Though, it could be that OP also thought ahead and hid all the spares.

Some Took The Revenge A Little More Seriously, Though.

Some users cautioned OP and her boyfriend to do more things outside of gaming.

OP updated her post to respond to people who took it seriously. It seems that she and her boyfriend had some laughs about it, as well as some of the more positive responds the post had received.
