- Welcome back to "Reddit Stories You
Cannot Believe Are Real." Today, my guests are Courtney and Damien. - Hello. - So the theme today is
relatively about roommates. And roommate stories,
we've had 'em before, they're always shocking, unbelievable. They're just fascinating. And Damien, you and I used
to be roommates forever ago, so I'm curious-
- We were a great roommates. - [Shayne] If we're gonna
relate to this stuff. - Yeah. - [Shayne] All right. - We were the protagonists. - We were the good roommates. All right, here we go. First story. "Am I the asshole for
moving my roommate's insulin "out of the way?" (crew laughs) - Off to an awesome start.
- Ooh! - Off to an awesome start! So this is a 27-year-old man. "So my roommate, a 23-year-old woman, "is a type one diabetic, "and she stores her insulin
in the refrigerator. "I decided to throw a huge surprise party "for my best friend,
28-year-old man, this weekend. "I knew the party would be a massive hit, "and I was super excited
to see the look on his face "when he walked in. "To make the party unforgettable, "I ordered a giant custom
made ice cream cake, "which needed to be kept in the fridge. "When I got home with the cake, "I realized there wasn't enough
room in the fridge for it. "My roommate wasn't home, "so I couldn't ask her if I
could rearrange her stuff. "I saw her insulin and I
thought it would be no big deal "if I took it out for a few hours "while the party was going on, "just to make room for the cake. "I mean, I didn't think she
would need it during the party, "since she wasn't even invited. "Anyway, my roommate
came home unexpectedly "during the party, noticed
her insulin was missing, "and absolutely freaked out. "She started yelling at me
in front of all of my guests, "making a scene and
totally ruining the vibe." (Courtney laughs) "She went on this whole rant "about how this type of
insulin spoils quickly "at room temperature or something." (Courtney laughs) "She went on this whole rant "about how this type of
insulin spoils quickly "at room temperature or something, "and she made a big scene
of throwing it all out. "I looked it up and I'm 90%
sure she was exaggerating. "She had to take some, "she 'had' to take some
emergency insulin she keeps "in her room and left
the party visibly upset. "Now everyone's telling me I'm the asshole "for taking her insulin outta the fridge, "even though it was only for a few hours. "I think she overreacted, "and it's not my fault
she came home early. "Am I the asshole?" It's not her fault she came home early to find out what you did? Anyways. - Oh my god. - So I've only been on one
other episode of this show, and I haven't used this card yet. This is 100% fake. (Courtney laughs) - You think this is fake? - There's no way. Because think about the size of a cake and the size of a fridge, even
if we're talking mini fridge. My dad was a diabetic, right? So there was insulin in the fridge. Maybe syringes are separate. Maybe it comes in the syringe. He didn't take out the ketchup? - Yeah. - He didn't take out one thing of soda. There is no way in the size
of a fridge that he's like, "This tiny one thing has to be the thing "that moves to make room for the cake." - Do we know how much insulin there was? 'Cause maybe- - A month's supply is just like a bottle. - Well, she had to take emergency insulin, which means I think like- - What does that mean? Does she have a fridge in
her room? (Shayne laughs) I'm serious. Like, that's why I think this is fake. - I don't know. I mean, look, we don't know. We never can know if
they're fake or real or not. - That's true. - But let's just run with
the idea of it being real. - [Damien] Okay. - It is insane. - Sure.
- Yeah. - As taken as real, that's
insane to do, right? - Of course. - And I would say what
makes them an asshole is even if it doesn't spoil fast, it's like you still
didn't know that for sure when you made that decision. - Yeah, I mean, this person
clearly doesn't know much about like any medication
that needs to be refrigerated. Like, I worked at a pharmacy, and you have to be serious about it. Even if you think you're 90%
sure that they're exaggerating, that it might be fine,
like what if it wasn't? You put that person's health
aside for a cake that probably, unless it was like an ice cream cake, would've needed to be, you know, or like it's a party. Did you not have a cooler where
you could put other stuff? - Yeah. - Like, and you couldn't
even text this person? Like, I'm so shocked. - That's wild. - Yeah, look, but I will say
it seems impossible to be real. There are people who are
just the right amount of dumb and the right amount of- - Selfish. - Selfish to do this. - [Courtney] Yeah. - 'Cause here's the wild
thing about this to me too, say for instance, it is real. I've had situations with roommates that I like didn't always get along with, but like they would use one
of my pans or something. Say for instance, they cleaned
it with the wrong thing. I come back and the
Teflon is all chipped off, and you'll have the conversation of like, "Hey, I'm sorry to do this, "but you kind of botched the pan." They're like, "All
right, I'll replace it." Like, even if someone is a jerk, if they're like, "Hey,
you ruined my thing. "You didn't know it, but
you ruined my thing," they'll usually be like, "I
can at least understand that." For this person to be like, "Okay, well, I Googled your medication." - Yeah, yeah. - What? - The whole, like, "I'm 90%
sure she's exaggerating." Like, it's just like, dude, come on, man. And she said something and
she ruined the whole vibe. It's like, bro, come on. - No way. - So the OP responded to a bunch of people and commented a bunch of stuff, and someone summed it all up and they go, "OP's comments have all been
removed by the moderator, "it looks like. "But he left one saying that
they didn't have fridges "in historical times
and diabetics were fine. "For historical context, "if you were diagnosed
with type one diabetes "prior to the 1920s or so, "you would almost certainly
be dead within three months. "He also seemed convinced somehow "that insulin is essentially
just a vial of sugar water. "If this is real, Jesus tap
dancing Christ, he's a moron." (Courtney and crew laugh) I mean, if this person's in the comments arguing with people, this might be real and this
person might be that stupid. - Yeah, or just like that, how old is OP? - 27. This is the thing though. Look, it's okay to be stupid. It's okay, it's okay- (Courtney laughs) - I use that as a comeback all the time. It's okay to be stupid.
- It's okay to be stupid. It's okay to not understand
how most medications work. All you have to understand
is just really like, hey, whatever their rules
are for their medications, follow that.
- Yeah. - Like, hey, that has
to stay in the fridge. That's for their life. Okay, fine. I don't understand how it works. I don't get it, but I will keep it there. But that's just the, that's
the breaks, like, you know. - It's possible OP like
removed a bunch of other stuff out of the fridge too, but it was the insulin
that they're talking about. I just still can't get past
not even trying to call or text and ask or looking up
like this precise stuff or like you said, taking out,
like (beep) it, the milk. Like, I don't know, anything. - I imagine maybe they're in a rush and they just took out
some stuff, set it there and like I bet they didn't
even think about it. - That's the only way I
can see this being real. - I think they just grabbed stuff out and they just put it out, and then later were like, "Oh (beep) "I took out his insulin." And then they're just
like, "Oh, well, whatever." - But then we're dealing
with another scenario where they are so unable to
recognize making a mistake and taking accountability for that. - Right. - Like, for me to sleep well
tonight, this has to be fake. And if it's not, if this person is around, they could be breeding. (everyone laughs) We gotta stop this. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Clearly throwing parties. - Yeah, someone else commented, "Ah yes, ruining the party's vibe "because the medicine that
keeps you alive was ruined "is a real bummer." And someone said, "Expensive medicine. "Insurance won't cover the replacement. "Mine is $800 per bottle
without insurance. "OP better be ready to pay up." - Yeah. I hope. You know, I would be interested to see if this was ever on Redditor
Updates later of like, "Am I the asshole for not
giving my roommate $800?" - It is recent. It's somewhat recent, but no update. - I truly like wouldn't feel safe living with someone like that. - Hell no. Oh, I mean, if this is all, if
this went down as they said, there's no way they're
still living together. - No.
- No, oh, I would get out. - Because at the very least, like maybe the person
whose insulin expired would've said like, "Hey, you
need to pay me back for this." And the other person would've
been like, "No, screw it. "Absolutely not, no." - Yeah. - Oh, that's an ender. That's a, that's- - That's "Ender's Game" right there. - And I'm glad that she
made a scene in the party. - [Shayne] Yeah. - I mean, it wasn't even making a scene. She was reacting validly
about what happened. And I'm glad everyone saw and thought that he was an asshole. I love that for him. - But that's his friends, unfortunately. They're probably just like, "Whoa, that was crazy back there." - No, no. - He's saying everyone was
calling him an asshole. - "Everyone's telling me I'm the asshole." So everyone at the party
saw that and was like, "Bro, why'd you do that?" - Yeah. - I guess there was another comment. Like, there was some more
context in the comments that it was a shared fridge and there was one shelf for this roommate with their stuff there. So like, it looks like he didn't want to take out any of his stuff. - Oh, 'cause he had to keep his beer cold or whatever for the party. - Yeah, probably had a lot
of stuff for the party. So he probably was just like, "Oh, all my roommate's stuff goes out." - [Courtney] Wow. - Awful person. - Man. - Let's move on 'cause we're
starting off with a pretty- - Super clear. - Horrible asshole. Let's see if it gets topped. - Never been washed, horrible asshole. (everyone laughs) Stinky. - The grossest asshole. - [Courtney] Stinky. - Okay, next story. "Am I the asshole for sleeping
naked on top of the covers "to teach my flatmate's
girlfriend a lesson?" - So for context, I've
heard this one before, so all I'm gonna do is make this face while you're reading it the whole time. - Okay. (Courtney laughs) I
have not read this one. So let's see. "New to Reddit, please bear with. "So I, 21 guy, live with
my childhood best friend, "22 also a guy, and have
done for two years now, "and have been for two years now. "Up until last week, things
were perfect between us. "However, he recently got
a new girlfriend, 23 lady, "and she honestly seems absolutely great, "except for one thing. "She seemingly has a complete
aversion to knocking. "She and I have quite a lot in common, "and I actually like
spending time with her. "However, it bugs the hell outta me "when she just barges into my
room without knocking first. "Now, she's never walked in
on me doing anything untoward. "I'm usually just chilling on
my bed or studying at my desk. "However, on at least seven
separate occasions now "she's done it first thing in the morning "to ask if I want coffee. "I sleep naked. "Every time prior to the last one, "I've been under the covers
and she hasn't seen anything. "I always point out that she could have, "and she just giggles
and says, 'But I didn't.' "When she stayed over last
week, in order to make my point, "I intentionally slept
on top of the covers. "Sure enough, she barges in at 7:00 AM, "begins to ask if I want coffee
and sees my you know what. "She immediately backed out of the room "and didn't speak to me
for the rest of the day. "My mate later pulled me aside "and said I was being out of order, "accused me of deliberately
exposing myself, "and pointed out that I'd
threatened to do it before. "I literally just said, 'Okay,
but what if I had no covers "'and you saw everything' before. "They're now framing this to
others that I'm some sick creep "who intentionally got naked
and lay and wait for her "because that's how I get my rocks off. "And I'm kind of seeing
how it came off that way. "Am I the asshole for doing this?" Okay.
- Okay. - Well, look, before we get
into more details on this, I will say like, you should knock. Like, in a roommate situation, that is their private
property, that's their home. - Yeah, you should knock, especially if they've
made a comment about like, "Hey, you should knock." - Yeah, it's just like
that to me is trespassing. Like, that's- - Yeah, but at the same
time he literally was like, "These guys are acting like
I purposefully slept naked "and waited for this." That is exactly what you did. - He did do that. - He did in fact do that. - And it wasn't to get
your physical rocks off, but it was to get your mental rocks off because you wanted to prove her wrong. And that's exactly what you did. - It's a tough situation 'cause I think they're
kind of both assholes. Like, obviously you should knock. Like, when someone is setting a boundary with you multiple times and you're not respecting that boundary, you are in the wrong there. And I understand him wanting
to be like proving a point. I get that. But it's not like, "Oh, your
cake fell down the disposal "'cause you didn't listen to me. "Like, oops, that's my point." It's like weird genitals
were exposed to that person who didn't wanna see that. - Yeah. - Oops. - And there were steps
that could have been taken. - Yeah, so, you know, as
always with Reddit stories, we don't have a lot of context. We only have what they've written. He never says that he told them, "Please don't like barge into my room. "Please knock." He doesn't explicitly say that
he had that talk with them. He could have sat down and been like, "Hey, it really makes me uncomfortable "when you barge into my
room without knocking." He didn't say that. - He kind of went straight
for the nuclear option. - Yeah, and that, you know, that does leave the
possibility open of like, is he just looking for
this crazy thing to do? Like, we don't know. But look, are you an asshole
for barging into someone's room without knocking multiple times? - Totally. - Absolutely. But I also, I need more
information on if he told them, "Please don't." - This sounds to me like
someone who is frankly oblivious and like was in the right originally, wanted to find a way to get back at them, but did something that
is like, unfortunately, like it does paint you
in a pretty bad light, and it's like you have
now exposed yourself knowing full well that's going to happen. - Yeah. - And like beyond that
with the privacy thing, like, you know, we've talked
about personal roommate stuff. I had a roommate before
who had a girlfriend who was like very immature. And so like I would
sometimes be in my room, and I would just hear a knock at the door. So like, she would
knock and that was nice, but like, I'm very to myself
and I would open up the door, I'd be like, "Hey." And she'd be like, "Hi." I'd be like, "Hi." And she'd be like, "How are you?" I'm like, "Good, just sort
of hanging out in my room." And she's like, "Okay,
well I just wanna say hey." And I was like, "Okay." (everyone laughs) And like even that is like,
she didn't do anything wrong, but it was just kinda like, hey, what the (beep) was that back there? - Yeah. - Like, hey man, I don't know you. You're my roommate's girlfriend, and you guys are gonna go hang out. Like, why are you here? - Sure, sure. We have some comments here. So Reddit declared not the asshole. And they said, "Not the asshole. "She knew it was a risk
when she barged in. "How is she not the pervert? "Also, have you considered
getting a lock?" He responded saying, "Considered it. "Unfortunately the
lease doesn't allow it." Other comments point out like, "There are other forms of
locks without getting a lock." - Yeah. - Like, there are other
ways you can do that. - You shouldn't have to though. - You shouldn't have to. You shouldn't have to. - Yeah, it just really
feels like it doesn't, like, there's so many steps. It's not that hard to even
just go to the boyfriend, the roommate and be like, "Hey, your girlfriend
keeps walking in on me "knowing that I sleep naked. "It's inappropriate. "Don't you think that's weird?" And then leave it to him to
figure it out, but like... - Yeah, the other comment
that we have here is, "Not the asshole. "I actually think it's pretty funny "this is the way you
chose to make your point. "You deserve your privacy, "and she obviously isn't respecting that. "If you told her before and
she just shrugged it off, "then maybe a little shock
and real life demonstration "is what she needed in order
to get the point across. "Also, screw those people. "You didn't expose yourself to her. "She exposed herself to you "by barging into your private space "after being warned already." (Courtney groans) "You have
every right to be naked "in the privacy of your own room." Now this is Reddit. This is definitely a Reddit response. Reddit, you know, can be that way. Yeah, I definitely am more
on the side with you guys of feeling like I really need to know, frankly, with this one, I
need to know way more context. - Yeah, it's touchy. It's touchy 'cause like, first of all, "She exposed herself to your exposure." Like, a lot of actual
criminals would try to use that as an excuse when they're
actually trying to flash people. - Yeah. - I think, like I said, he
chose to sleep above the covers and I feel like the only way that this would've been actually funny and in any way slightly a
method of fixing the problem is if he multiple times spoke
to both of the other people in the situation saying, "Please
do not come into my room." Like, I don't know. I think I disagree with Reddit. - [Shayne] Yeah. - I think he skipped a few steps. He skipped a few steps. Like, I would've personally been like, "Hey, you have violated
my privacy a few times, "so just letting you
know from here on out, "I will be sleeping
naked above the covers. "If you come into my room, you
are going to see me naked." - That's totally fair. - "Just so you know." And also like I do, so firstly, again, wrong of him to expose himself to her because he did end up doing that. How thick is that door? "Hey, you want coffee?" That's it. - Yep.
- Yeah. - Is it like five inches of steel? - It feels like there is
like a huge lack of context. - I think that there's so many- - What's she doing? - There's so many Reddit
stories that we read where I'm like, I think
90% of this is missing. - It's an untrustworthy narrator. - [Shayne] Yeah. - You're just like... - [Shayne] And this is one of 'em. - Left to like fill in the
gaps with your own bias. - It definitely reads to me as, you know, whether it's aged well or not, it sounds like a premise
of a "Friends" episode. - It wouldn't have aged well. - Oh, this is textbook Joey. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Textbook Joey. - Yeah, it sounds like that. Anyways, all right, so moving on. This next one, you know, we're moving on to something
a little more simple, I guess you could say. - Okay. - I don't know if that makes
sense. (Shayne and crew laughs) All right, next one. This came from Legal Advice. - Uh-oh. - So you know it's real good. - Buckle up, buttercup. - I'm hungry. - Damien, I'm curious if
you'll be able to help us out with this one. I'm curious. - Why me specifically? - I don't know. - You pay attention better. (crew laughs) - Not lately. My meds have covered
up all my OCD symptoms, which is what made me focus on shit. - Oh no. - Now the ADHD is left,
and I'm just toast. - Oh, well we're all fucked then. Okay, let's go, - All right, here we go. "Roommate exposed us to toxic radon gas." - That's why. (everyone laughs) Okay, okay.
- Okay. "I, a 26-year-old female, live
in a two bedroom apartment "with my 19-year-old male roommate. "My roommate has a collection of clocks "and old electronics he keeps
in a case in his bedroom. "I received my radon detector
from a friend three days ago. "He had high radon levels, "five picocuries per liter of
air, which I guess is a lot, "in his house, but got it mitigated, "and now it's down below one "and wanted to give it to me
as he didn't need it anymore. "I turn it on, and
after the warmup period, "see that it's reading
224 picocuries, not 2.24, "in the main room. "I move it to my bedroom, close to his, "and it's maxing out at
over 500 in my bedroom. "My apartment lobby reads at around 3.5. "I did some research and the
radium clocks do emit radon, "but not nearly enough to
cause that big of a spike "in radon levels. "I questioned him when
he gets back from work, "and he panics a bit and tells me "that he has around 13.5
millicuries of radium. "He shows me the cabinet, "and there's a vial of radium paint, "a lot of shavings in glass jars, "lots and lots of clocks and gauges, "what he calls Soviet radium scales, "old US army radium discs,
and other items with radium. "It's obvious how the
apartment was contaminated. "And I worry the radon is leeching "into the rest of the apartments. "He's been here and had his
collection for over a year. "Levels this high are basically unheard of "and can cause cancer with ease, "so I'm worried I might
lose my life over this. "Obviously this isn't my landlord's fault, "it's the roommate. "So what do I even do here? "Does something like this break the lease "and get my roommate and
all his radium kicked out? "Can I sue him if I get
lung cancer out of this? "What is my next step?" Damn.
- Oh my gosh. - I think that'd be criminal negligence. - I think that's pretty bad. - [Courtney] Yes. - I don't know this stuff. Are you legally allowed to own that stuff? - Probably not. - I think criminal negligence
is a great way to put it because it is not that hard to have that. not even close to that much
radium in your apartment as a normal human! - Sometimes it's really hard for me. I open up cabinets, I'm like, oh my god, I forgot I
put my radium in here. - Yeah. - I accidentally bought more radium. Oh no, oh my god, I bought
millions of more radium. - Why isn't my Roku working? Oh, it's just a bunch of radium. (everyone laughs) - And he's 19. Obviously I'd be livid
if someone had this. Thank god she-
- That's terrifying. - Thank god she randomly
got like a meter for this. - That's the universe or something, yeah. - Or she would've never known. We have some comments here. "He said millicuries and not microcuries? "Are you sure? "If it was millicuries, "you need to stay far
away from that cabinet "if it's not lined with lead, "including whatever is the
opposite side of the wall. "At that point you're looking "at a significant source
of gamma radiation "on top of the radon hazard. "Does he have a Geiger counter? "You need to report this stuff now." - Geiger, yeah.
- Geiger. - "That's an absurd amount of
radium to have lying around." - Yeah. - OP responded, "From my research, "he'd be over 13.5 microcuries
after his first 14 clocks "since it looks like each one
of those is one microcury. "So I'd assume it's millicuries. "Most of the items are in lead containers. "He took them out to show me, "which is how I know
about the full collection. "The clock and gauges aren't though. "He does have a Geiger counter "and told me the dose rate
a foot from the cabinet "is barely above background. "Clearly the lead and plastic bags "aren't blocking out the radon though." Someone else, clearly there's a lot of
experts here in Reddit. In Legal Advice, you have
to put what state you're in. So someone said, "Well, you can call "the Wyoming Department
of Environmental Quality "and/or the Federal
EPA and ask what to do. "Be prepared to move out immediately "as it's not far-fetched
for your apartment "to be declared a hazardous waste site. "You are not going to be held
to your lease if this happens. "Do not suggest to your roommate "that he throw this
stuff out in the trash. "You can't even throw
out old smoke detectors, "so the likelihood that he can
safely throw this stuff out "is zero. "He certainly cannot do so legally." The OP responded, "If the apartment is
destroyed by the radiation, "will I be in trouble "or will he have to pay
for all the damages?" Someone said, "You are
probably going to want "to contact the Radiological
Assessment Program, "which is part of the Nuclear
Emergency Support Team." - I was gonna say that, for sure. - Yeah, you know that. - "The Radiological Assistance Program "is the nation's premier
first responder organization "for assessing radiological incidents. "RAP advises federal-" (crew laughs) That's what it says. That's short, R-A-P. "Local and tribal public safety officials, "first responders and
law enforcement personnel "on steps to protect
public health and safety "or the environment "during incidents involving
radioactive materials." - Like, we need a tribe called Quest. I'm glad we're here. - We need them now. - [Damien] We need them here. - Oh my goodness. - So there is an update. - Oh, okay. - [Shayne] Okay, here we go. - Let's go, let's go. - "I forgot about this throwaway account. "I figured I should update this post. "The day after I made this
post, I slept in my car. "The next day I went
in wearing an N95 mask, "I can't get vaccinated
for medical reasons "so I carry them around,
to get my stuff and leave. "19-year-old man was gone. "His radiation detector
on the kitchen table. "I don't know where he
was but I didn't care. "Using his radiation detector, "I was able to figure
out the actual dose rate "in my bedroom. "70 microsieverts an hour on my bed, "350 times over the natural background." So, bad.
- Ooh. - "Using some of the resources I was PMed, "I calculated around 1.1 sievert per year, "adding up the excess
radiation and the radon. "Considering the background "is somewhere around
0.005 sieverts per year, "that's pretty damn bad. "I then entered my roommate's room "to document exactly what he had "in case my landlord wanted to blame me. "The radiation detector began alarming. "I took pictures of the cabinet. "When I placed the detector inside it, "it went into overload, so I
couldn't see the dose rate. "For legal reasons, "I will not be sharing
the photos of the cabinet. "Finally, I tested my
belongings for radiation. "While there was a
slightly detectable level, "from what I learned, radon
daughters decay completely "after 40 days, "and I never got a reading over
0.5 microsieverts per hour." So it sounds like her
stuff wasn't too bad. - That's good. - "I texted my landlord that I was leaving "and terminating my lease
due to the radiation hazard, "attached the pictures I took,
grabbed everything I could, "including his radiation detector. "I shouldn't have done this
from a legal standpoint, "but I wanted to be safe. "And left for my mom's place. "I made it there safely
and immediately showered. "I don't know what
happened to my roommate, "and I don't care. "If I was exposed to one
sievert of radiation, "which seems correct, "I have a 5.5% chance of dying from this." (Damien gasps) "I have a damn good chance
of making it out alive, "and that's what matters. "I'm as safe as I can get. "This will be my only update." Whoa.
- That's crazy. - Absolutely absurd.
- Holy shit. That guy could be going to prison. - Should be. - Yeah. - There's no way all of that was legal. - How the (beep) do you
get that much stuff? - And what's the, why? Why? Is it, "Oh, this is gonna
gain in value over time." No. - If that's her exposure,
what's his exposure? - Yeah, he's sleeping next to that. - Bro, and he's like holding it and (beep) - Like, he glows in the dark. - Yeah, for sure. (Shayne laughs) Why did you think I specifically
would know more about? - I don't know. I just feel like you know
random facts about like, like I feel like you would
know like, oh, radiation stuff. I don't know. - Well, okay, well then
let's get into it then. I have some uranium glass. Uranium glass is known
for being radioactive. However, the particles that
it fires off more or less stop after about six inches and then like literally fall
to the ground and decay. And mine is behind glass. Also, it is mostly radioactive
when chipped or scratched or whatever. I have stuff from the
'30s in good condition. It is well made, but it is
probably more like radioactive than other things would be, so I don't drink out of it or anything. It is a nice little display. And yes, it's bright
green and see-through. That's kind of cool. - That is cool. - But like a bunch of radium
clocks, like I have a tea set. That's it. I'm all set. I'm fine. Behind glass tea set. - Well, this guy, clearly he's a hobbyist in the worst way possible. - Yeah, I don't understand because all of this stuff is like, this sounds like the worst hobby ever. - Yeah. - Radiation aside, like it's like this is stuff
that you can't look at, have to keep inside of
a case inside of a case, that could, well radiation not
aside, that could kill you. Like, and it's like I
would rather have Legos that I can't even play with. You know what I mean? - Like, this is like the
inanimate object version of "Tiger King." - So someone who works in
this field in radiation in a year will potentially get
50 microsieverts in a year. - And how much did she get? - She got 70 on her bed. - Oh. - So she is getting more in a day than a professional gets in a year. That's rough. - Honestly, I think OP
should be super psyched because she's gonna be She Hulk probably. (crew laughs) - The green part. I think at some part of the-
- No, I'm kidding. They said gamma. They said gamma radiation. I can't not say something. - [Shayne] I thought
of Hulk too, but it's- - Look, we're all always
thinking of the Hulk. (everyone laughs) - Especially She Hulk. - So we now had two roommate stories where the roommate tried to kill the OP. - Yeah. - Well, we can't say tried. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Flashing someone doesn't kill them. (everyone laughs) - No, the insulin. - Oh! No, I'm kidding. (everyone laughs) - So do you think Ninja
Turtle radiation roommate is worse than insulin roommate? - Yeah, yeah. - [Damien] Yes. - Because insulin roommate one incidence- - Both are idiots. - Both are, oh yeah. But radiation person,
like they're doing this. They're a super villain. - It's awful hard to
like give someone cancer. (everyone laughs) Just like, it's not usually
like an action that you're like, "I'm sorry I gave you cancer." - [Courtney] Oh my god. - That's so true. It's like damn. - Like, the insulin thing sucks, and that's gonna cost money and time. It's gonna be a headache.
- And it could have been bad. - It could have been very bad. - It could have been very bad,
but this person did (laughs) - They don't make greeting cards for that. - This might be the only way I know of that you could do it and
without someone knowing. - Yeah. This is crazy. - You Munchhausen by proxied cancer into your roommate.
- Gamma into someone. That's (beep) crazy.
- Yeah, that's crazy. - That's wild. - All right. - I've been feeding you
lead paint for years. - I know, and it's delicious. (crew laughs) Okay, boy, crazy stuff. Onto the next one. Here we go. Maybe this one will be a
little less crazy, you know? So this comes from r/BadRoommates. - Oh. - A new subreddit that we found. "Roommate justified eating
my steaks by pointing out "that he thought I wasn't
going to eat the food "anytime soon. "Plus, I got yelled at
for touching my own food." What is this "Terrace House?" - I was, oh, this is the- - For the people who
watched "Terrace House." - [Courtney] I don't know. - Okay. - Courtney, you get it. - "My house has a detached garage "which has a chest freezer that I bought. "The garage for us is
just for storage space "since the garage
doorway aren't big enough "for our vehicles. "Anyways, last year I bought freezer beef "from the butcher shop and
of course stuffed it away "in my chest freezer. "My roommate also happens
to use the chest freezer, "and he tends to stuff
his frozen foods into it. "Space tends to get limited, "but we've never really had an issue "until this incident happened. "The steaks were in low supply, "and I think I was down to two of them. "Well, I planned on
having some for supper, "so I decided to head home from the gym "to start thawing the steaks. "Well, that didn't exactly happen "because they were already
on the counter thawing. "I verified they were mine by
checking the name on the seal "and yep, they belonged to me. "I didn't give it much thought, "after all, I assumed my
roommate was being nice to me. "But I can't eat two rib eye steaks, "so I tossed one in the fridge freezer. "Roommate hears the commotion
and comes down the stairs. "He sees that I'm
looking over to the steak "and just sharply asks,
'What are you doing?' "I look up and simply thank him "for setting steaks out for me. "He gave me a look like
I had kicked his dog, "and he replied with,
'This isn't a charity. "'I have a dinner guest coming over.' "I was puzzled and asked
why he's eating my food. "And he replied with, 'Because
you weren't going to.' "I defended myself by mentioning "that I ate through nearly
14 packages of steak "from an entire cow in
the span of one year, "so I was definitely eating them. "That didn't sway him. "And so I decided I'd ignore him "and started to cut open the seal. "He screams at me, 'I
hope you washed your hands "'for touching the food I'm going to eat.' "I replied with, 'Did you buy it?' "Him, 'Does that matter?' "I gave a sinister grin and said, "'Yeah, but just a little though.'" (Courtney laughs) "Anyways, he had to
explain to his dinner guest "why he had to grill his own burgers "versus promising a steak dinner, LOL. "Overhearing their conversation, "me repossessing my food makes
me a tremendous dickhead, "LOL." Damn. That's fucking, that's some
gall that roommate has. - Yeah. - I feel like this is another one where there's gotta be some missing- - [Shayne] You think it's fake? - No, I don't think it's fake. I think there's gotta
be some missing pieces because like it's so cut and dry. It's so obvious. It's like, "My roommate stole
my food and got mad at me." It's like, what else? 'Cause like... - This isn't an Am I The Asshole story. So he's not asking if
he's in the wrong or not. He's just posting in Bad Roommates just being like, "This
is my bad roommate." - I will say, I don't like
the way this person writes. - [Shayne] Okay. - They use the word tend too much. - I think both of these
guys are sassy as hell. (Shayne laughs) Because they're just like, "I hope you wash your hands for the steaks "that you're gonna eat." "Yeah, it only matters
just a little though." It's like, wow, you guys,
you watch "Mean Girls" a lot? - "Does that matter?" "Just a little." - "I smirked as I posed really awesome. "Two people peered in
the window and clapped." - [Courtney] Yep, yep, yep. - But no, like, I don't
wanna glance past this. He's like, "We tend to
store our beef there. "It tends to get a little full. "We tend to do." I'm like- - I think he just likes
the word. I don't know. - Well, tender beef. - First of all, they have
a serial killer freezer in their garage, weird. - [Damien] That's true. - That's just like, it
feels very, this person who, if this is all true, it
feels like this person, I don't even know, maybe
they were acting that way because their guest was over and they were trying to like be, 'cause like just sounded
very like arrogant. - It's definitely, look, there are people
who are this arrogant. - They said that they, they were like, "My steaks
were nowhere to be found," so these are the last two steaks for sure. - Yeah, the last two steaks. - Well, he checked the
seal and his name was on. Like, he put his name on them. Like, that's what's crazy. - I'm trying to find
what's missing though, because like I could see a
world if there were more steaks, the roommate was like, "Hey, I took these out
specifically for my guest. "I've already put two
hours of thawing into it. "Can I pay you back with
different steaks later?" - He said these are the last two steaks. - These are the last two steaks. And he's like, "No, these are mine." - Have you guys ever had
roommates eat your food? - I've had it happen twice. Once I returned from a trip, and I don't drink anymore at all, but I at one point had a
very nice bottle of whiskey that was kind of hard to find, and I noticed that like when
I came back from a trip, it was like a quarter gone. - Oh. - And that's a lot for a
very nice bottle of whiskey. And so I had asked my
roommate, I was like, "Hey, I'm not trying to be accusatory, "but like did you have any of my whiskey?" And he was like, "Oh yeah,
I had a glass one night. And I was like, "Well, it's kind of, "you know, please in the future,
like don't take my stuff." - Was your glass a measuring cup? - Yeah. Yeah, it was huge. And so that was the- - "Oh, yeah, I just had a glass." - "Only had a glass of it."
- Yeah. I hold up a match and the house explodes. (everyone laughs) So like relating it back to this, like it was expensive whiskey,
it wasn't even opened yet. And like, knowing him, I think he probably
mixed it with stuff too. So it's like he didn't even appreciate it. - You think maybe he thought
you weren't gonna touch it? - No, I think, like it was
during a time in my life where I would like regularly
have like a nice small glass of whiskey and be like, it
would be the one thing I enjoyed as a nightly ritual thing. Like, some people have their beer, I would have a whiskey or something. Be like, oh, this is my sipping drink. So like I would definitely have it. - That's crazy. It's something I can't fathom. And, you know, we also
get stories of people at work taking other people's lunches. And I'm just like, how does
that cross people's mind? - Yeah, I think those are people that like are very used
to the mom fairy of just, like they don't have a
sense of responsibility or like how it truly impacts other people. Like, "Taking this lunch, "it doesn't feel like
it's a big deal to me. "I'm just pulling a piece
of thing out of a fridge." But it's like, no, that
was someone's meal, that was someone's nutrition. - [Shayne] It's insane. - 100%. - Yeah. - I will say I have had the
other way around though, and I feel like I went
about this the right way. But I've had situations with like if a roommate bought like
a pack of like six frozen like breakfast sandwiches, and I'm in the house and I'm in a rush and I'm like exhausted, and I take one of those breakfast
sandwiches and I eat it, I would immediately tell the
roommate the next day like, "Hey, I know you bought six. "I took one of 'em, it was
a last minute situation. "I'm gonna buy the next box. "I'll make sure you get as many
as you were owed plus one." Like, that's a fair trade. And then we had a roommate one time where like we threw a
birthday party for me, and the roommate approached
me the day after and was like, "Hey, I had two beers in the fridge, "and it looks like they
were drank, you know, "during your party," which he attended. And he was like, "So I think,
you know, it'd be really nice "if you could replace those." And, you know, it wasn't
like two fancy beers, it was two like Coors Light. (Shayne laughs) And so I was like, "Okay." - So you grabbed a dollar and
slammed it against his chest. - That was the thing. I was like, "Hey, why
don't I do the quick math? "Like, you know, I'll
give you like five bucks." And he is like, "Well, I wouldn't really
buy like $5 worth of beer. "Like, it would have to be a six pack." - Whoa. - And I was like, huh? And he was like, "Well,
I think the adult thing "to do would be to like
replace the pack of beer." - He just Wolf of Wallstreet'ed you. - Oh, he wanted you to
replace the two beers that got taken with six beers. - Because you can't just buy two beers. I have to buy him a new six pack because it was my birthday
and someone else drank them. - It's Charmin logic. Two equals six. (everyone laughs) - That's so funny. - Yeah, they're like,
"This is 100 mega rolls." - 12 equals 48. - That's the (beep) I just,
that's such roommate (beep) - That drove me nuts. - You know where I could
see the line being blurred? You know, where I could
see myself being guilty? I don't think I did this, but I could see myself
doing this is condiments. - Oh sure. - If someone had like sriracha, I could see myself using that up, and I could see at a
certain point being like, "Ah, fuck, you probably only
got half of that sriracha "that you bought." - "Yeah, can you buy the next bottle?" But that's also not an emergency
situation where it's like, "I need all the sriracha tonight. "I was gonna mainline
sriracha for a joke." - Yeah, but also I feel like it's very typical roommate etiquette. Like, if you guys had a
bunch of stuff of a thing, and then you're down to the
last one or the last two, if it's not mine and I wanted
some and it's the last one, it's wrong of me to take the
last one without even saying "Hey," like letting them know. And they were just being
very entitled about it. - So weird. All right, let's move on. "Am I the asshole for being vindictive "and telling my soon-to-be ex roommate's "potential new roommate about
her strict no boys rule?" Okay, so this is a roommate
who's warning their roommate's- - Their predecessor roommate. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. "I, a 19-year-old woman,
have lived in an apartment "with Jess, a 21-year-old
woman, for a year and a half. "In that time I've had
one guy, my boyfriend, "stay overnight a whopping
total of three times. "When I moved in, "Jess said she didn't
care about sleepovers. "I guess that changed. "So I always made sure to let her know "when my boyfriend was coming over, "and we were always respectful
and tried to coordinate times "when she wasn't going to be home. "He also never mooched off of us, "and we mostly hung out at his place "because Jess was so
insufferable to be around "when you had guests. "Jess and I recently got into
a huge argument about it, "and she said it's disrespectful of me "to have a guy overnight. "We clearly both have
our own opinions about it "and couldn't persuade the other, "so I made arrangements to
move in with my boyfriend, "and Jess was going to
find a new flatmate. "Her, Kate, and her boyfriend came over "to check the place out. "I could tell Jess was irritated by that "since she was only sharing
with the girl and not the pair. "At one point Kate made a comment
about the size of the bed, "king size, and some
comment to her boyfriend "about the romantic nights
they'd spend together. "Here's where I may be the asshole. "I knew that if Kate moved in, "there would be some huge
argument about her boyfriend "in the near future, "especially since she was making comments "about him hanging out there. "So while we were waiting
for Jess to get some things "from another room, "I mentioned that she
doesn't like her roommates "having guys over at all,
especially overnight. "This seemed to concern the pair, "and they asked Jess about
it when she came back over. "She looked really embarrassed and said, "'I'm not actually.' "The pair tried to pry for answers, "but she said that if Kate moved in, "her boyfriend couldn't stay
for more than a few hours "at a time, especially not overnight. "This caused Kate and
her boyfriend to leave. "After they left, Jess blew up at me "and accused me of sabotaging the meeting. "I said that she's being ridiculous "because there's no way in
hell she's going to be okay "with Kate and her boyfriend "if she wasn't okay with me and mine. "She called me vindictive and malicious "to bring up her no boy rule. "I said that I never
technically broke her rules "as we agreed on allowing sleepovers "so long as we told the other person. "But her views have clearly changed. "But it's not my fault
that she didn't tell me. "Now she's infuriated with me. "Am I the asshole?" Holy (beep) that's a crazy person. - That's cut and dry, right? - Yeah, that's also very cut and dry. - Yeah, I can't believe
she like would lie. - Yeah, that's where she's really (beep) - [Courtney] Like what? - Where she's like, "I'm not actually," It's like, yes you are. And then it took only a
little bit for you to be like, "Okay, yeah, he can be
here for a couple hours." It's like, what? Like, you just lied then. - You're adults. Like, look, this is the type of story where I could see stuff being left out where like your boyfriend's loud and you guys are drinking
all night and blasting music and you can hear rumblings
through the walls. Like, that's a different thing. But she's not bringing that up. And like the fact that she
wouldn't lay down ground rules with this new roommate, it's like having someone
new come over with their dog and be like, "Ah, we're gonna live here." And then after they move in being like, "Oh, by the way I'm allergic to dogs. "You can't have dogs." - Yeah.
- Yeah, no. Communication. - It like feels like scammy. - It's scammy. - It's super scammy. - It's scummy, it's scammy, it's silly.
- It's just weird. And it's controlling. - [Courtney] Yeah. - I can relate to this because, a roommate having a significant
other over is totally fine. I do think the line, and I think we learned
this when we had roommates, is if that significant other
stays the night consecutively for months, it's like, that's a roommate. That's no longer your boyfriend or girlfriend spending the night. That becomes a whole different situation. - The same beer replacement roommate wanted their significant
other to like move in because they stayed over all the time. And I was like, "Yeah, you know, they're
already here a lot. "Like, they're using water, electricity, "like they should, you know, split." And his solution was, "Yeah, we'll split the cost of my room." - No, that's not the same. - No, you're already, what the (beep) - You guys aren't sharing every shower and every (beep) you take on the toilet. - It's like, I want you to for
sure pay half of your rent. I just wanna make sure
this is right for you. I was like, no. - I also like if this
person wants to spend any decent amount of quality
time with her boyfriend, that means she's probably having to sleep at his place a lot. She's not getting to utilize her home. Her rent should be cheaper at that point 'cause she's utilizing less
of the necessities and stuff. - Some comments here. "Not the asshole. "Kate doesn't deserve to move in "and then be told her
boyfriend can't sleep over, "especially if she's also paying rent. "You didn't deserve that either. "I would absolutely tell
any potential roommate "so that someone isn't
locked into a lease agreement "with someone like Jess." Someone else said, "Not the asshole. "She was being dishonest. "A potential new roommate has
the right to know the truth "before moving in." Absolutely. Yeah, the lying part is
the weirdest part to me. You know, if you wanna move
in with someone and they go, "Hey, I feel this way," it's like, okay, you're weird but fine. If they establish that rule
before you move in, cool. - [Damien] Sure. - Otherwise... - Yeah, it's just, it feels
like she's trying to like, I don't know. What's the word for like when
a bunch of nuns live together? - A convent. - Yeah, it feels like she's like trying to keep this place like a
convent and just like not, like it just feels like
she's putting her own morals into something that- - It feels like there's more going on. - Very much so. - There's more going on. - I have actually been in a situation kind of similar to this. So my roommate had this girlfriend that like she would stay
over several nights in a row, and so I ended up having
to have a conversation of just like, "Hey, I don't have a problem "with like your girlfriend
staying over or whatever, "but it'd be nice if there was
some like breaks in between "because otherwise it's
just a third roommate, "and I really don't
want a third roommate." So like, you know, he
would understand that. So the rule was kind of
like three nights in a row and then maybe a break would be cool. So like it felt weird to even
put stipulations on that. But one issue was they always
hung out in the kitchen. He had his own room, but they always hung out in the kitchen. And that's all they would do is they were hanging out in the kitchen. And at one point I had
gotten in an argument with one of them and like
the vibe totally changed. Like, if I wanted to go to the kitchen, it would just be like
everything was silent and no eye contact or whatever,
and I'm not playing that. So eventually I was just like, "Hi, she can't stay here anymore." And he was like, "What?" And I'm like, "It's a really weird vibe
when I'm in my own home, "and neither of you are
willing to talk about it, "and I don't like that. "I'm paying rent. "She is not. "I am choosing that either
we're gonna talk this out "like adults and figure out a way "for us all to be comfortable
and make the vibe happen "or this has to change." - [Shayne] Right.
- Yeah. I remember hearing about all
this stuff and that was a very- - Do you remember part two? - It was a very crappy situation. They were very immature. - Yeah, roommates are going to roommate. - [Damien] They sure are. - [Courtney] Roommates be roommating. Ruminating. - Hey, I ruminate. - All right, let's move
on to the next one. We've got some bangers today. - We do, we do. - And mash, okay. - "Am I the asshole for asking my roommate "to be more polite toward my guests?" Oh, flip side of it. - Uh-oh. - "So I, a 20-year-old
woman, live with Erica, "who's a 27-year-old woman." - I don't think that's her name. - "She's usually nice and
cleans up after herself "and all that stuff. "But we had an issue recently. "Last week a guy, Josh 21,
I'm seeing came over sometime "in the evening. "When he arrived, "she was in the kitchen
cooking some kind of curry. "Josh and I went up to my
room almost right away, "and once we got up there
he sort of awkwardly said "that he absolutely
hates the smell of curry, "can't really be around it "because it makes him want
to barf, and he had to leave. "The last time before
that when Josh slept over, "apparently Erica was blowing her nose "an ungodly number of
times in the morning. "He could hear it because
her room shares a wall "with the bathroom and
it grossed him out a ton. "Apparently, he also
heard her fart super loud "when he went to the bathroom
late at night once too. "Basically he thinks she's super gross, "and as a result can barely
stand to be at our house. "We've actually had discussions
about getting serious, "but he said the Erica thing
is holding him back from it "since he didn't feel
like he could date me "if he didn't think I had
the kind of friends he'd want "to be friends with or
set up with his friends." - Oh. I'm sorry, sorry. I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet. - "Or be set up with his friends. "This morning Josh came over, "and Erica was hard boiling eggs, "and again the kitchen smelled like farts "and he had to leave. (everyone laughs) - Okay. - I love that her roommate is Shrek Fiona. (everyone laughs) Okay, okay. - That's how he sees her. - "I confronted Erica about
trying to be a little less loud, "cook less smelly food all the time "because I feel like it's
really rude towards Josh "that she's literally
making him so uncomfortable "that he needs to drive back
to his house 25 minutes away "and waste all that gas. "To my surprise, Erica, who's
normally calm and polite, "I've never seen her mad before, "even when I accidentally ruined "some of her expensive kitchen stuff, "she didn't even ask me to pay for it "because accidents happen, "got really angry "and said that she wasn't
going to adjust her whole life "for random people that I'm sleeping with. "I was really hurt by
the random people comment "because it's not like I'm sleeping "with different strangers all the time "and told her all the things
Josh had said about her "just being generally disgusting, "like with the nose blowing
sounds and the farting, "and she said her bodily
functions were going to happen "like it or not. "I was still hurt "and told her it was no
wonder she was still single "at her age." Damn. "That she couldn't show basic
respect to other people, "and also said the thing Josh said "about not wanting to be serious with me "because he thinks I surround myself "with bad, impolite people. "Erica then said, 'The reason
he isn't committing to you "'has nothing to do with me. "'It's because you're
gullible enough to believe him "'when he feeds you crap like that. "'Once again, I'm not changing my life "'or magically stopping
my bodily functions "'because of someone who has not said "'more than two words to me at a time.' "I basically just walked away crying "at how much it had escalated,
and now I'm posting here." Bro.
- Oh my god. I have so much to say. - Please. - I mean, okay. This guy sucks. - Yeah, he sucks. - This guy sucks. - [Damien] A lot. - "Those kinds of people." People who have to blow
their nose and fart. That's just a person. (Shayne laughs) - Literally. - This guy- - I've farted three
times since this story. (everyone laughs) - I think this guy is a
racist piece of (beep) And he's being (beep) about her. Like, 'cause the curry was
like the first red flag. If you're just like,
disgusted by the curry, the smell of curry, I'm like- - [Shayne] That's a recurring- - [Courtney] What is your palate, dude? - That is a recurring bit
here on Reddit stories is people really judging
other people's food. - Yeah, and saying- - It's generally like you're
the asshole for judging. - Yeah, but saying "those kinds of people" is like, okay, it's a done deal. You're weird. Like, I can't believe like that this, and it sucks that the OP is like, "Yeah, you need to make yourself smaller "for this man I'm seeing." - [Damien] Yeah. - Gross. - Yeah, I also don't
like that he said like, "You should hang out "with people I can set
my friends up with." - Oh yeah. - [Shayne] Is (beep) crazy. - This is a very specific type of guy, and it's not a good one. And what's crazy is when
people write these stories, they write it, you can't help it, you try to write yourself
a little bit like the hero. - [Shayne] Yeah. - So if this guy's coming
across this bad to us, like how bad is he really? - Yeah. - Oh, OP is 20, the guy is
21, and her roommate is 27. - Okay. - And I think that's also
just like once you're, like, as you go through your
20s, you start to be like, "You know what, man,
I'm gonna fart at home." - Yeah. (everyone laughs) I bottle mine up. - You know what? That's maturity. - That's true. - [Courtney] That is.
- That's truly maturity. That's being like, I don't give
a (beep) Like, I'm at home. I am literally at home in my bedroom. I'm gonna be blowing my
nose, I'm gonna be farting, I'm gonna cook the food I like. Like, this guy-
- [Damien] It sounds- - Sorry. - No, please. - The funniest thing,
this is like sitcom funny. Like, this is a line I wish
I'd written like in a pilot of him being like, "Babe, I
wanna be serious with you. "I wanna, like, babe, I
wanna get married someday, "but I don't know if I can "because your roommate (beep) farts." (everyone laughs) Like, that's what he said! - [Courtney] Yeah. - That's what he said! - And the thing is too,
like, ideally like the one, the one issue that I ever
got from that other roommate is the fact that she was
like some random guy. And at first I was like, "Ooh,
that's a little slut shamey." And then I realized, oh, 20 and 21. They haven't known each other that long. And he is literally just like, "I wanna marry you, but she's stinky." And I'm like, okay, well. Y'all are children.
- It's not even marry. Because at the beginning she
says, "A guy I'm seeing." She's saying getting serious. She wants him to just be her boyfriend. He's a (beep) boy, and he's just coming
around to like, you know. - You're so right. - (beep) - And the roommate is right in that- - You know, opposite fart. - [Shayne] The roommate
is right in that... (everyone laughs) - I'm sorry. - Jail. - Sorry, sorry, sorry. - The roommate is correct that it's like the reason
he is not committing has anything to do with her. Like, he's not committing because he doesn't wanna commit to her and he is making up excuses of why. He's like, "I can't be around
that often, babe. "I'm sorry." - "Yeah, we just had sex. "I can't stay and cuddle
'cause I smell curry. "I gotta go." - Exactly. Actually I do, I can... I'm gonna relate this
back to my life again, 'cause I've had a lot of roommates, right? In college I did have one roommate who cooked food that was very stinky. However, it had nothing to
do with anybody's background. He chose bacon and onions
as his exclusive food. He would cook the bacon
and then cook the onions in the bacon grease. Sounds great, smells bad. We didn't have AC. There was
no way to like get the air out. - Wow, that's a thick smell. - It's a thick stank. And the grease hung in the air. And I never said a word to him. And I will say though, I did have a lot of trouble
finding romantic partners at that time. Nothing to do with the bacon and onions. (everyone laughs) Nothing to do with the bacon and onions. So... - So there's some comments here. "OP is so insufferable, "but I'm also cracking
up at this Josh person. "He can't smell curry. "Hard boiled eggs drive
him out of a house. "A woman farted in her own room "while he was taking a (beep)
in a house he" (laughs) (everyone laughs) "He doesn't own, and
he thinks she's gross? "Good god, someone come get this man." - Don't call him a man. He's a baby.
- No, he's not a man. He's a boy.
- He is a baby. That is a baby. "You're the asshole. "It's her home too. "If Josh is so uptight about
a woman doing unwomanly things "in the comfort, safety,
privacy of her own house, "maybe you two can shack up at his house "where women don't fart. "#TeamErica." "LMAO, this has to be fake. "Just in case, you're
the asshole massively." - Yeah, I think I
actually did hear this one a long time ago. But it's so funny to hear it again. It's still just as infuriating. - Yeah, and also he doesn't live there. He has no right to dictate
what other people are doing. - No, he thinks he has the right. - And she didn't have a problem with her before he was in the picture. So no.
- Exactly. - And also the difference like- - I love the her admitting like, "And she's always been really nice, "especially when I (beep) up
her really expensive (beep) "and she was really nice about it." It's like, okay, dude, you owe this woman. - Yeah. - But like the age
difference between 20 and 27 is more than seven years.
- Huge. - It's more than seven years 'cause there's a lot
of growing and maturity that happens at that time. - The comment also of "this is why you're
single at your age" of 27 is- - Yeah, what in the world. - Time to put her out to pasture. - Yeah, time to put her on an
iceberg and just push her out. - Just keep staring at the sunset, Lenny. Think of the rabbits. (everyone laughs) - It's (beep) ridiculous. All right, moving on. "Am I the asshole for using
my vegan roommate's pans "and utensils?" - Uh-oh. - [Shayne] Okay. - She's from Vegas. (everyone laughs) - "I, a 20 year old
woman, have been living "with two roommates,
also both 20 and women. "I'm not vegetarian, but one of them is. "When we moved in together, "the vegan roommate said
she did not want meat "in her Tupperware, on her pots, pans, "or her cooking items
like spatulas, plates, "utensils, spoons, et cetera. "She had lived in
another apartment before, "so she brought all of her own items "and kept them separately in one cabinet. "And me and the other
girl shared other stuff "that we brought. "In the fridge, we each claimed a row "and then had shared condiments, "and we all had our own
cabinet for our snacks "and cooking supplies
like seasoning and oil. "It was all good. "She would do her dishes with
her own separate dish brush "and store them separately. "She was barely home
due to school and work, "but was very clean, "and the few items we split for the place, "paper towels, dish soap, "she always paid for along
with splitting some decor "like a kitchen rug,
coffee table, and couch. "My other roommate had been
in a rush yesterday morning "and not cleaned the pans
from last night or today, "and I was in a rush too. "My vegan roommate wasn't there, "and I borrowed a plate,
two pans, and spatula "from her cabinet to make some
french toast, eggs and bacon. "I figured I could just
clean it after class "and she'd never know. "She came home early before I did, "and she asked if
someone had used her pans "and items to make anything. "And I said, yeah, sorry, "that our pans were dirty
and it was an emergency. "She said that it was fine, "but she specifically asked
us to not use her stuff, "and she was upset that I
disrespected her boundaries. "She said that I could go
ahead and keep the plate, pans, "and spatula, and she moved all
of her cookware to her room. "She just brings it out as she needs it. "She asked if I would just buy
her new pans, but I said no. "And she dropped it. "It's been a little tense. "She barely talks to
me, but I don't see why. "I offered to clean the
dishes for her right away "but she said don't bother. "It was just eggs and bacon. "Not that deep. "My other friend is
vegetarian but way more chill "and said I'm the asshole for not offering "to buy her new pans. "It's $25. "But I don't see why I should
accommodate her personal fear "of meat having once touched her dishes." - Because you used her stuff
and broke her boundaries. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Like, when you set a
boundary with someone, like you don't have to
agree to that boundary, but then you don't live together
or you don't work together. Like, all that kind of stuff. If someone sets a boundary
and you're like, "Okay," then like great, you're entering into a
contract with that person. - It's true, they agreed to it. - You agreed to it. It's like keeping a kitchen kosher. Like, it shouldn't matter the reason, whether it's as big as something like your religious preferences
or your food preferences or it could just literally be like, "I'm a germophobe, don't touch my pans." - Yeah. - True. - She invalidated the
roommate by doing that. Also, she made a point to
clean them as well as she could when she was done. I feel like she could have
just done a really quick and easy rinsing off of her own pans that she shares with the other roommate. - 100%.
- In the same amount of time. And like, it's just eggs and bacon? You mean the two probably
the most obvious things that a vegan would want to avoid. And vegans, there are people who are vegan 'cause they just like, you
know, for health stuff. But like there's also people
who are really hardcore vegans because of not just health or nutrition, but because of like moral
standards or moral just, you know. - Yeah, no, it freaks them out. They don't wanna be dealing with that. Also what I'm questioning, you know, I like to cook
and I love breakfast foods. - I was about to ask this. - She's in a super rush where
she can't clean this plate, but she makes eggs,
bacon, and french toast? - French toast is an ordeal.
- That's not a rush. - You made a (beep) whole banquet there. - Like, that's the hole
in the story for sure. I think that's, she
said "I was in a rush." - If you're in a rush, you made eggs. - Yeah, at best. - You're in a rush- - You grab bread. - You go to the Starbucks drive-through. Like, you just, like- - Well no, they're not going
to the Starbucks drive-through if they're not gonna buy a $25 pan. - True, very true. - Like, but like french toast is an ordeal if you do it right. Boy oh boy.
- Also, like, french toast, eggs, and bacon,
damn, that's a lot of food. - There's already eggs
in the french toast. I mean, damn.
- Yeah. - So someone points this
out in the comments. "'Oh no, I'm running late. "'Better make some french toast,' "is not a thought that
has ever even come close "to entering my mind. "You can't rinse a pan, "but you can make what
my family would call "a full Saturday morning breakfast? "Okay, dude." - Yeah, that's Easter. That's Mother's Day. - I love french toast and I only ever make it
on Saturday or Sunday. You can't make that before
you go to class or work. - You're just eating the
bread if you're late, bro. - Yeah. - "You're the asshole. "Nothing you wrote was an emergency. "You could have washed the dirty stuff "or you could have skipped breakfast "and bought something on your way out. "You need to replace
your roommate's stuff. "She set a boundary and you violated it. "It doesn't matter your opinion. "It's her stuff. "She gets to set the
rules around it, not you." - Yeah. - There's one french toast
emergency that I can think of and that's a guy goes,
"Make me some french toast "right the (beep) now!" (everyone laughs) "In that pan!" - "I'm mixing the eggs, oh my god!" (everyone laughs) - "Eggs too. "Eggs in the french toast and the eggs!" - "Don't forget the vanilla extract!" "I got, I got it!" - [Courtney] "Cinnamon, cinnamon!" - "No, I want the one
from the beaver asshole. "That's how they make vanilla." (everyone laughs) - Oh my god. And, you know, like it really sucks- - That's how they make vanilla. - It really sucks 'cause the
vegan did everything they could to make this not happen and
specifically this to not happen, so I feel really bad. - She moved her stuff to a room, and in my head I first was
like, "Oh, that's a bit much." And then I'm like, "No." - You can't trust. - No with a roommate, yeah,
that's what you gotta do 'cause she's gonna use that shit again. - That's what a lot of
roommates have to do sometimes. - So going back to the whiskey thing. At that time I was like, "Well, I don't trust my roommate anymore." So right next to my bed was like, I would make cocktails
for guests or whatever. So like I have this whole like menagerie of like different kinds of alcohols. And like, again, I'm not like
chugging alcohol every night, but I'm just looking at it. I'm like, this looks really
bad right next to my bed. - Yeah, you look like you
sleep with a whiskey bottle under your pillow. Yeah, that's funny. - Why should I break the family tradition? - But yeah, there are roommates that like, they have an entire
apartment in their own room because they can't operate
with the roommates. I simply had to give up
on like keeping much stuff in my fridge when I
had one of my roommates because there's just
usually no room or space to. So I just found it was easier
to be the type of roommate that unless you literally
went into my bathroom or into my bedroom, you
wouldn't know I lived there. - Interesting. - Yeah. - I've talked about a
lot of bad roommates. I had, you know, you were
a wonderful roommate. I've had one roommate that
I've lived with twice, two separate times. And I gotta say good
roommates are out there. - Yeah, they are. - Good, giving roommates are out there. Like, literally at any time if I was like, "Hey man, I'm outta milk,
can I have your milk?" He'd be like, "Go for it." He would say that no matter what. - Totally. - Like, "I'm starving. "I don't have any snacks." He's like, "I got cereal, go for it." And then I would do that in return, and it was just such a nice
like reciprocal, communal. Like, we each had our own stuff, but it was just like,
"Hey, I see your situation. "I understand it." - Well it's, you know,
it's a relationship. It is a weird relationship
because it's a relationship with a often a stranger in many ways. But you still communicate
and you set those boundaries, and you just respect
each other's boundaries. - And it's two different people that were raised like in a vacuum. Like, you only know what your family did. You only know what your family did. I only know what's normal for my family. And now it's like, let's put 'em together
and watch what happens. - Right. You know what? I have one roommate story
that just comes to mind. This was very early on when I moved in with all these roommates. And one of our, I came in and
this was after a rough day. I come into the kitchen, I
sit down at the kitchen table, and our roommate's making some eggs. This is late at night,
this is like 9:10 PM. He's making eggs. He's like,
"Hey man, how's it going?" I'm just like, "Ah, you know,
man, it's going all right." And he's just like, "Ah, dude, ah, okay." Like, he is just like, "Cool, man." Like, he's talking and
stuff, and I'm just like, "I got broken up with today." And he's just like, he's
like, "Oh man, I'm sorry. "You want some of my eggs?" (everyone laughs) Just dished me like some just
some plain scrambled eggs onto a plate. I was like, "Thanks, man." Like, it was just very sweet. - Oh my god. - And this is like the
first like couple days of me moving in. And I was like, it felt like
the beginning of a sitcom. Like, it was very like- - Or the beginning of
a beautiful friendship. - Yeah, you know the roommate, he's great. - It reminds me of the vanilla milk thing. - Vanilla milk! Yeah. - This is an us story. - Yeah, I had a girlfriend who
was over, this is later on. I had a girlfriend who was
over and it was late at night, and she's like, "I am (beep) starving." And like Damien comes out of his room. You're probably playing like
Dark Souls or something. - Probably. - And we were like looking
through the kitchen. Like, there was just, we were just out of
everything at this time. And she's like, "God, I'm starving. "Is there anything?" And you're just like, you go, "Well, I could
make some vanilla milk." (everyone laughs) 'Cause you would make like a concoction. - Well, that's when I learned that a lot of people
don't drink vanilla milk. (everyone laughs) - You would make a concoction. I knew about it. You would make vanilla milk.
- What is it, what is it? - So you mix vanilla and milk. (everyone laughs) And that's it. So I thought that was a
normal thing and it's not. - Wait, can we tell the best
roommate story of all time. - Yes, we know the same one. - So I would often go and
hang out in Damien's room, sometimes he'd come to my
back house that I lived in, and we would like chill. One time my girlfriend was over, and we both were went in and we knocked. - I wanted to show you guys a video of, they had just gotten footage of like deep sea Humboldt squids. So it's like a black and white
video of like Humboldt squids like popping up. Like, it was a like really cool deal. - We knocked on your
door and we were talking, and then you were like, "Oh
dude, you gotta come see this." And you were at your desk, and we watched this video together, and we're all standing there. And we watch it, we finish it, and we're like, "That's crazy." And then we're all just
kind of standing around, like so me and my girlfriend
are kind of standing right behind Damien. Imagine this. Imagine we're both here. And we finished the video
and we're like, "Awesome. "That's so sick, yeah." - "Well... "Get out." (everyone laughs) - I vividly remember. I think you even had a hand. You were like, "Well, get out." (everyone laughs) It was so great. - It was just so much
silence and it was so late, and I was like, "I'm gonna go back to
playing video games now." - And we all died laughing. And we were like, "Yeah,
that wasn't disrespectful." That was just a- - No, I love it. I want a world like that. - Oh, direct communication. - It was so funny. - And none of us knew I was neuro spicy. (everyone laughs) - That was so fucking funny. To me that was so normal. - It was fine. It was great. - We're done talking now. - Good. - All right, all right, let's
get another story in here. Okay, here's the last story. "Am I the asshole for refusing
to pay for a girl's wig "after she shaved it because of me? "There's this girl that
lives in my uni halls. "We are not roommates,
but we are flatmates. "Let's name her Kaya, 19. "I, 19, both women, met her in September "when we started university
and moved into halls. "We're not best friends
but we are friendly. "We don't really spend much time together. "Over time my friends noticed
that Kaya tried to copy me "in everything. "It started slowly,
accessories and some clothes. "Nothing major. "I didn't even notice "until people started
pointing it out to me. "I have a rather distinct style
and she started copying it. "I don't own the style, "and she's free to wear what she likes, "but it's the exact same
copies of my outfits, "which is very odd. "But then it started going further. "I dyed my hair, she dyed her hair. "I bought something for my
room, she bought the same thing. "I started chatting with a guy, "she became obsessed
with that guy to a point "that whenever I had a male friend "or a guy I was interested in over, "she would go out of her way
to try and get their attention, "coming down to the kitchen
in nothing but a towel. "She never used to do it, et cetera. "She would do anything
to attract attention. "Now, don't get me wrong, "I couldn't care less
if the guy was looking "and even if it was my boyfriend looking, "I'd have beef with him, not her. "But the blatant attention
seeking behavior was just odd. "I joined societies and sports "and after she found out she
joined the same ones I did. "Basically everything I
do she copies eventually. "It's just really creepy,
but I haven't said anything. "I wouldn't even know what to say. "Over the Easter break, "my friend and I were at my family house, "a bit drunk and decided to test out "whether Kaya really
copies everything I do. "I made a point on social
media about shaving my head. "My friend does hairdressing, "and she helped me out
by faking my shaved head. "And I posted a photo with a shaved head. "I deleted the photo a few days later "and forgot about this whole thing. "After Easter break was over, "we had uni exams and
I was focusing on that. "Imagine my shock when I came back "and Kaya had shaved her head. "And she was pissed when she saw me. "She started shouting how I lied to her "and why would I do that. "She went on and on and on, really angry. "Admittedly I ignored
her and hid in my room. "She sent me a text telling
me that she expects me "to pay for her wig as it's
my fault she shaved her head. "I replied that absolutely
not, that it was not my fault, "and she decided on her own to do that. "She kept attacking me over
it every time I saw her. "It's been a few days since I
came back from Easter break. "My exams start tomorrow, "and yesterday I received
an email from my university "asking me for a meeting over the issue. "She reported me to uni
over something she's done. "I am genuinely confused. "Was I really in the wrong? "Am I the asshole for
pretending to shave my head "and refusing to pay for her wig?" What? - Whoa. - Oh what? - This is just crazy enough to be real. - I think this is real. I think this is real. - [Siri] I don't know
how to respond to that. - I don't fucking either. - Same. (everyone laughs) Wow. - Even Siri was like, "I'm
sorry, what are you guys (beep)" - I beg your unbelievable
pardon, bee boo bop. (everyone laughs) - I mean, this is that movie, "Single White Female."
- "Single White Female." Yeah. - This is like a classic movie trope. - I got a children's
book that was like this. Like, literally- - "Single White Female." - [Damien] Yes. (everyone laughs) Basic instinct. - Holy (beep) You know, I totally believe
like all the copying and stuff 'cause I've heard those types of stories. - It's more common than you think. - But it's once she did copy, and it wasn't that she's
like going out of her way to be like, "Hey, I'm (beep) mad." It's like, you'd be like, "Oh (beep)" - Yeah, what? - That's where it's like she's
living in a different world. - That's what's missing
for me in this story, not in terms of like
someone's hiding something, but I want to know more. Like, it's all out in the open now. She's saying, "I shaved my head
because you shaved my head." So it's like, okay, so you
have been doing everything that I have been doing. There's none of that in there. Like, is there anything of
that in the comments or? - Let's see. The OP didn't respond to any comments. One comment says, "Not the
asshole, but I'd be nervous "if someone was that obsessed with me. "Like, I wouldn't feel safe
around that individual at all." Someone else said, "Even
with all the extra details, "the meeting would be short. "You posted a fake photo of a shaved head, "and now this girl shaved her head. "It isn't your responsibility. "It's very creepy behavior and weird "that she would report this. "A normal person wouldn't. "She needs help, and you
need to stay away from her." Yeah, this person needs to get out. - Yeah, it's unfortunate that this person either has like an unhealthy obsession that's probably brought on
by like some actual issues. - There's actual issues going on here. - Yeah, like unaddressed serious issues. That's like, 'cause it's more common. I get served TikToks a lot where like someone will find
somebody who follows them on Instagram and is copying
their photos and outfits and basically duplicating their account but to their own people. Like, it's very strange. - This is a form of, I mean
this is really like stalking. - Yeah. - Like, she is stalking her, and it's that kind of,
it's in that category. In a way, her reporting
her might be a blessing because this is gonna put
it on the faculty's radar, and they'd be like,
"What the hell is this?" - Yeah.
- And that's the tough thing because I wanna sit
here and be like, "What? "That's (beep) crazy!" But at the same time, like
we are all acknowledging like this is clearly a
severe mental health issue. And that's the tough balance because you want to call that out and be like, "This is wild," which it is. But first we have to worry
about the other girl's safety. Like, because I'm like, you
are not safe in this moment, and I also want to take
care of this other person. - And attacking her every
time she saw her, like whoa. - This gets into the category of like, I wouldn't even say asshole. I would say like, this is
one of those wild stories where it's like, oh my god. And this is also a 19-year-old. Like, she's just fresh
into the real world. - [Damien] Sure. - Probably doesn't
understand her own mind, and this is all going on. This is deeply sad. Really like, yeah, my
feelings aren't anger. My feelings are like, oh. - Kudos to OP though for the whole like the person showing up in the common areas like in just a towel to get this guy's attention, because I know in a previous
episode there was a person who in a shared dorm
would just not wear a bra under their shirt and was
getting shamed for that. And the girl who was
pissed got pissed at her and not her boyfriend. So we got the better
version of that in this. - That's what made me trust
this narrator so much too, 'cause she was just like, "Hey, I would've actually
been mad at the guy. "Like, it's not her
responsibility, not her fault." I'm like, okay. - Yeah, and how she's like,
"I don't own this style. "She can do whatever she wants." - Yeah, she's done well, and this frankly didn't
need to even be posted on Am I The Asshole. Like, no one's questioning- - Am I safe? - Where along the line do you
think the line was crossed? Because I think it was crossed
before the shaved head. I would say... - I'd say like, when it's like
time to ask them about it, you know, would be the hair dying because it's not like the
OP had this hair color for a long time then this, then
the asshole dyed their hair. It was like OP dyed their hair, then the asshole immediately
dyed their hair the same color. Then I would've been in a
friendly way, I'd be like, "Hey, so you like the style? "Like, what do you think? "Like, I've noticed that
you've taken a lot of my stuff. "Like, what do you think?" - It's also, you know, she's
not the one noticing it. Everyone around her is also like, "Hey, what's going on there?" - Yeah. - So it's like everyone
in this hallway is going, "We all notice this." More people need to talk to this other- - Yeah.
- That's true. - "Hey, why are you doing this?" - That's the tough part
about this question though, is because I don't think this is something that would generally come up in a healthy relationship of any kind. Like, when everybody is
mentally healthy and safe, because like, you know, take
you and I for example, Shayne, we're similar people in our humor, but like if I started
switching to jeans and plaid and dyed my hair blonde, I
wouldn't feel comfortable because I'd be like, "Oh, I
kind of look like Shayne now." Like, I would recognize that in myself. But I might see you wear
that chain and go like, "Oh, where did you get that chain?" Like, I asked you where you
got that chain and be like, "I kind of want one like that." Like, you can take little bits like that. - Inspiration is one thing. But she says- - [Courtney] But duplicating outfits. - Full outfits. - If you had purple hair and tech wear, I think you would be aware that like, "Oh, I think I'm kind
of doing this thing." - And if I was walking around going, "Do you know that I voice a
character in Fire Emblem?" - You'd be just like Courtney. And that's the weirdest thing. (everyone laughs) I'd be like, Courtney,
have you seen Shayne? - Yeah. There are relationships
where I have friends where we wear similar stuff. Like, Kiana and I both
bought the same tank top on the same day, I'm pretty sure. - But that's you both at
the same time being like, "Oh this." - Yeah, but like, we have the same style, and it's like, it's fun and friendly. I also as a cast member
am conscious of like, I wouldn't wanna chop my hair off and cut my bangs to be a centimeter long because like we already have
a person like that here. (crew laughs) There's things that I'm conscious of. It really depends on your
relationship with the person. And it doesn't sound like the
OP knew the asshole very well. - No, she said they they
weren't really friends. - [Courtney] Yeah. - And it's also, it's the time period between she would change something, she would change something. She would change something,
she would change something. And it was everything. - Yeah, I feel like I would
honestly do the same thing that OP did where it's
like, I don't own the style. Who am I to be upset? Even if I naturally feel a reaction to someone copying my outfits
and hair, that's on me. It's up to me how I choose
to react to that situation. And if I wanted to ask about it in a playful, constructive
way, maybe I could. But I think I would just
pretend to shave my head. (Damien laughs) - We've had multiple this time where, look, I can just assume that a lot of these
Reddit stories are fake, but we have no choice but
to be like they're real. And these would be things
that if I saw it in a TV show, I'd go, "This is ridiculous." - Yeah. - But it's like holy (beep) There are really people like this. - There really are. And like, look, again, I've only ever been on
one other episode of this, but like the first story
today was the only one that I was like, "No way, man." Everything else is like, it's
just crazy enough to be real. Like, people go through some crazy (beep) - Yeah, they do. Well, thank you guys for joining me on this roommate adventure,
and thank you all for watching. Next weekend I'll be joined
by Tommy and Spencer, and we will be reading work stories, work related stuff,
corporate, retail, service. You know, it gets real crazy at work. - Okay, work. - Work relationships. They're also nuts. So we'll see you then. Bye. - Bye! - Well... - [All] Get out.
