    Font - r/AmItheAhole Posted by u/morefurriesplease 20 hours ago 25 AITA for blatantly pretending my roommate doesn't exist because of her "robbing prank"? Everyone Sucks I (20F) live in a very safe city. One of the safest cities in the nation. Due to this and lack of parental regulation as a kid, I never locked my doors. I drive a wrangler and take the top and doors off and have never had a problem with stealing. I've never locked the doors to my houses or apartments. This has never been an issu

    Font - My roommate (19F), since moving in, has increasingly become more paranoid and anxious. I've known her for years and have never seen her like this. She thinks there are cameras in her sink, if she gets a bug bite she assumes she has bugs living in her bed, when she sleeps she has paralysis where someone comes in to kill her. She locks her bedroom door and front door for safety. Knowing this, I've tried to lock the door. However, I don't sometimes. It's a habit I'm trying to break.

    Font - t I came home a week ago, there was s everywhere. It looked like a mini tornado whirled through my apartment. I went in my room and my tv was gone, my mini boba fridge was gone, all my vintage playboys were gone, so much of my clothes vanished. It was clear, through my eyes, that I had been robbed. I sat on my bed and just sat there in shock. On the verge of tears, I called my father who didn't pick up and I was left defeated practically, lol. Then I jumped up because I was worried for my

    Font - A mutual friend says that I'm overreacting and being rude to her when she's going through a hard time. As much as I understand that she's having problems I have received 0 empathy or question of my feelings. I don't think I'm an AH, I think everybody's out of their minds and I need some time away from the crazies. Edit/Update: Oh boy. Look, I'm just naive. I honestly didn't know. Thank you to the people who understand that I wasn't trying to be malicious by forgetting to lock the door. Al

    Font - Edit2: I forgot to mention that yes, I have talked to her. She said that she thought I would think of it is a silly prank and laugh about it when I saw all my things. I didn't take it that way though. I talked to her and asked why she wouldn't just ask me one time to be more aware of locking the door every time, which I know shouldn't have to be addressed, but that it would have been a necessary action before stealing all my things, ripping a few of my posters, making the house a mess (wh

    Font - Academic Snow_7680 3 days ago 2 254 & 3 More Partas pant [1] THE DOOR IS NOT THE PROBLEM HERE. The roommate is having paranoid delusions. She needs to see a psychiatrist PRONTO. When you think there is a camera monitoring you in the sink, do irrational stuff like this without any warning and your friends notice your growing paranoia, then you betcha that there is a mental problem that needs to be addressed.

    Rectangle - DrKittyLovah 3 days ago edited 2 days ago 62 3 Ahole Enthusiast [6] Psychologist here. THIS IS CORRECT! She needs a mental health evaluation, pronto. And lock your door OP! If you have trouble remembering to do so then get a lock system installed that will help you remember to lock it, or that locks automatically, or whatever. And please figure out where your self- preservation instinct has gone to hide, ffs. Reply Share 11.5k

    Font - dilletaunty 3 days ago A hole Aficionado [10] Was also going to suggest an automatic lock. OP was already working on it but not fully successful - might as well try to remove the problem entirely. Reply Share 1.8k

    Font - theladythunderfunk. 3 days ago Roommate starting to experience paranoid delusions at 19 is a major sign of schizophrenia or schizaffective disorder. Is that definitely what's happening here? No, we can't diagnose her over the internet. But in case it might be, she needs to see a doctor ASAP, because things will only get worse from here without proper treatment. OP and roommate are both in danger if her delusions keep escalating like this. 863 Reply Share

    Font - Mental-Woodpecker300 3 days ago This!! Is op wrong for being careless about locks? Absolutely. But they specifically pointed out that they are trying to break that habit. Get a security system, or a smart lock or SOMETHING OP. We aren't even here to discuss if op is being careless though. We are here to talk about the situation with her roommate and how op reacted. Roomie apparently did this out of the blue without even trying to have an open dialogue with op about her issue with the lock

    Font - And she thinks she's justified because obviously the people watching them from the sink will realize op leaves the door unlocked and could break in any day now, murder roomie and eat her hands. I'm going with NTA based on what the issue is. The roommate immediately chose to take a toxic route to try and make her crazy point, instead of talking to op like an adult. Silent treatment let's roomie off easy imo. Honestly though living with someone this unhinged would make me get into the habit

    Font - Cr4ckshooter. 3 days ago Thank you. It's beyond me how they can call op ta for something that op already acknowledged and is actively working on. They probably think "locking the door is so easy just do it", which is incredibly naive and narrow minded. It is never easy to break a habit, of any kind. And relapsing is very easy. And honestly, op not locking the door isn't inherently wrong. It's on the roommate to communicate that. What kind of door are we even talking about? Over here we ne

    Font - NastySassyStuff. 3 days ago Yeah wtf is with everyone on this thread? OP clearly said locking doors was not a conversation they ever had so how in god's name is she an AH in this situation? Her apartment got trashed, her possessions were taken, and she got the sh scared out of her over a conversation they never had. Just because these people think you should lock your doors doesn't make that even close to okay lol
