Interesting story, at the end it culminates into an ad for the website. It should be noted that people who are media-famous are often miserable and it looks like his roommate was silently suffering. Should OP have been a little bit more sympathetic towards that? I didn't see any mention of OP trying to, you know, talk his roommate through the issues like an adult?
- gcc_programmer 8y agoAre you serious? Are you naive ? Is OP a psychotherapist?
- anonytrary 8y agoI think most people are taught to communicate with people they have problems with. Communication is key to any relationship; you don't need to be a psychotherapist to know this. In the US, proper communication with roommates is a basic social skill that most people learn in college. You can't expect to do nothing in a bad situation and then complain when it gets even worse. If you read a post about a guy complaining about loud neighbors, you'd be pretty skeptical if he didn't mention "asking them to turn the volume down" even once. There's a lot left out of this story. Did OP even bother confronting the roommate about his problems? Did OP just remain passive-aggressive and sulk the entire time he lived there? I'm curious why OP left out that side of the story. You can't really hate on the roommate that much if OP didn't even vocalize his concerns to him.
- taurath 8y agoI agree generally - stuff can be talked out. Where the line is drawn is the rent money. There’s not a side of that story that can be okay.
- BrandonM 8y agoIt’s funny that you assume the narrator is a male while I assumed female. I’m not sure whether that would change anything about how to address difficult situations with a male roommate.
- system2 8y agoOP stole his stuff while the guy was in the hospital and bailed to Arizona. OP is classier than the tiktok boy.
