This girl asked folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong regarding telling a roommate's friend to leave. The context of the situation involved the roommate's friend telling the girl what she could and couldn't do in her own house, because of her allergy. She chose to take that path instead of just removing herself from the situation. Assuming the allergies were indeed life-threatening, getting out of the room probably would've been the best call.

    Text - AITA for telling my roommates friend that if their allergy is so severe that I can't make a sandwich in another room, that they should just leave? Not the A-hole So, my roommate invited over one of their friends today. He didn't mention anything to me or my other roommate about it, and so when I walked out of my room and saw this random girl I was just kind of like "uhm, who are you?" Because my roommate was not in the room.

    Text - She goes "oh, I'm here with roommate" to which I was just like "oh, okay, whatever" it was a little annoying that he didn't give us a heads up that someone was coming, but not like it changes much so I just let it go. Anyways, I go out into my kitchen and get some chips, and pull out the peanut butter and the jelly, you know all the fixings for a primo PB&J.

    Text - I start with my peanut butter side, and I get all the way done and go to put the peanut butter away. Well, the friend sees it in my hand and comes into the kitchen and goes "oh my god, are you about to use peanut butter?" And I said "no, I already used it, that's why I put it away". She goes "well, you can't" and I'm like "can't what?" And she goes "use peanut butter. You need to throw away whatever you just started" and I was like "uhm, no? I'm making a sandwich" and she says "I'm super

    Text - At this point, my roommate comes out of the bathroom and the girl starts telling him what happened. She told him pretty much exactly what I would have said, so she didn't really exaggerate it. But he told me that I was being insensitive and that if I had a life threatening illness that they would accommodate me and I said "well, I live here, so I would hope that a guest in my house would accommodate me" and the girl stormed off to my friends room.

    Text - I explained what happened to my other roommate and he thinks that the friend was being ridiculous, but roommate one told me later tonight that I pretty much ruined his relationship with this girl because she was already weary that he was living with another girl, and then my bitchy attitude made her not trust me completely. I think that's really not my problem, and that I tried to give an appropriate solution and she tried to prevent me from doing a normal thing during my day, and my room

    Text - gunnyhunty • 19h • Partassipant [1] ABSOLUTELY NTA. It's crazy entitled to be a stranger in another person's home and demand something like that. Like you said, if her allergy was that severe, nothing would have helped since the damage was already done, so to speak. If it really is that severe, your roommate should have given you advance notice.

    Text - rachelenfleurs • 19h • Partassipant [1] Extremely NTA - people who have such severe allergies like that need to take every precautjon, including letting everyone know that they have a severe allergy. In your case, what your roommate should have done was obviously tell you a guest was coming over but also to avoid peanut butter while she was there. Crisis averted. The face that she came in post-pb and expected you to throw it away when it was "already in the air", is just poor logic. She p

    Text - amberlikesowls • 19h • Asshole Aficionado [14] NTA Im allergic to over 30 different things. I wouldn't go over to someone's home that owned a dog and tell them to get rid of it.

    Text - JMUDan • 19h NTA. It's her responsibility to get away from an allergen. You did nothing wrong by trying to eat in your apartment and trying to accommodate her as best as you can. She is free to leave and go home. If she really felt like she was going to die from particles in the air, she would have left instead of sticking around to whine after you'd already used it.

    Text - loudent2 • 17h • Partassipant [3] NTA - Your closing comment explains it. She was feeling all kinds of ways about him living with a girl roommate and was trying to establish dominance. She was being ridiculous

    Text - Text - beetleswing • 16h NTA, and bold for her to come running into your kitchen when life threatening particles could be in the air. She sounds annoying, and also if she was fine in your roommates room, why couldn't you just do as you suggested in the first place? Seems like she wanted to start drama for literally no reason. I am all for accommodating people with allergies, but l'm not wasting food when some entitled stranger who's in my home demands me to do so after l've already pretty

    Text - footfaceball • 19h • Pooperintendant [50] NTA. She's a guest and you weren't even notified about her. And I honestly don't understand how throwing away your food would have helped.

    Text - Text - thatbrunettegirl10 • 16h Jesus NTA. She was "already weary" She doesn't trust you? This girl sounds like a monster. Imagine what other things she will try to dictate in YOUR home? Tell your roommate to seek a bootycall elsewhere... I can't imagine trying to tell someone else l've never met what to yikes. do in THEIR home.

    Text - Text - here_kitkittkitty • 16h NTA!! if she was truly allergic to the particles in the air(which is a thing. my BFs aunt is that allergic)she would not have even dared to come into the kitchen at that time to tell you. she would have booked it for your roommates room while yelling it behind her.

    Text - EmotionalFix • 6h NTA quite frankly your roommate and their friend are assholes for not social distancing during the pandemic. But also, if they were that severely allergic to peanut butter you are right that they would have already been exposed and should leave.

    Text - georgia-peach_pie • 14h NTA. From your title I was honestly thinking you were we're pretty insensitive but after reading the story I changed my mind. I have the same kind of allergy (I can go into anaphylaxis if someone eats peanut butter next to me) but I would never tell someone they had to throw their food away (especially since throwing it away in the same room wouldn't do anything). I've asked people to eat in another room or if they could eat it later, but if it was their house I wo

    Text - nomidahomie • 12h NTA. this reminds me of that scene in the office when Michael is throwing pb&j sandwiches to some of the workers, and Deangelo freaks the hell out and smacks one down with a notebook or something, and goes "YOU'RE GETTING NUT PARTICLES ALL IN THE AIR"

    Text - somedudetoyou • 15h NTA, she was looking for a reason to not like you from the start and he was just looking to get laid. I dunno how far he would of gotten though regardless, seeing as she had a nut allergy.

    Text - italy2986 • 16h • Partassipant [4] NTA- Granted I don't have a peanut allergy but if I was that allergic that the particles that were already in the air would make me sick l'd leave instead of standing there arguing about a sandwich that was already made. The fact that she refused to leave and continued to stay for a while seems like she's just being dramatic. But please correct me if l'm wrong.
