Woman Denies Home Access And Stops Stinky Roommate From Entering After Learning She'd Been Spat On By Camel, Tells Her To Go "Jump In A Creek" Instead

We've read something about how bad camel and alpaca spit smells before, but this is really a stinky situation. A roommate went to a carnival and got spat on by a camel, we don't know why, but it happened. She walked all the way home to find her roommate barring the door to their home, telling her that she won't let her in if she doesn't go and find a shower or rinse off first. She literally says, "Go jump in a creek or something", and locks the door. 

The roommate who locks the door then has the audacity to write on a Reddit thread asking if she's a bad person, and we're shaking our heads at how absurd this whole thing is. Can you imagine being humiliated, walking around smelling like garbage, and then being denied access to your own home, the only place where you feel safe to clean yourself up? Scroll down below to see some internet justice being paid out here, the comments are hardcore and will definitely make you feel like you're on the right side.

    Font - This just happened and it's been super stressful, wondering if I made the right decision. I share an apartment with another woman, and we've been decent enough acquaintances. I'm the primary tenant but she's subleasing and the landlord is ok with that. Apparently she walked out to this "fair" that had all sorts of attractions and animals. It was walking distance, about a mile away from our unit. I remember it being advertised but didn't go.

    Font - Well, to put it plainly, she got spat on by a camel. She texted me shortly after it happened to "warn" me and that she was coming home. I thought, okay, what's the big deal, come home. I saw her coming up the steps, looking miserable, through the window and went out to the porch to greet her, and instantly I was hit with the most unbelievably vile smell I've ever smelled, from a good 20 feet away. I really couldn't take it, I got only a whiff and I could feel my stomach churning.

    If the author thought that the smell was terrible, imagine how the roommate was feeling! She's the victim here, and we bet the first and only thing on her mind was to shower, wash her clothes, and forget the whole thing ever happened.

    Font - I went back inside and closed the door. She came up and tried to get inside with her key but I was practically begging her "No, whatever happened you can't come in like that." She was yelling "What, I live here!" and then was practically crying that she had nowhere else to go. I said I'm sorry but there's no way, I can't let that smell in here, I could smell her through the door, I was gagging. I suggested that she find a hose, or shower somewhere, or jump in a creek, or something, anythi

    Can you imagine being banned from your own home? The one place you're supposed to feel safe and be able to do the things you need to take care of this situation? What a piece of work this woman is!

    Font - But I held firm. I held the door closed until she walked away. She came back an hour later soaking wet (maybe she had jumped in a creek) and opened the door (I couldn't just sit there holding it shut all day), and the smell was maybe barely better but still horrific. She jumped straight into the shower, but I can still faintly smell it throughout our whole living room and it's making me feel absolutely sick. Now we're both furious at each other. I'm mad that she came back in before the sm

    Font - TrainerOpening4420 13 days ago 2 YTA and it's likely illegal. If she's paying rent to live there you can't just randomly lock her out because you don't like how she smells. When people are dirty and gross the place they clean themselves up is their bathroom, which you blocked her from. The right thing to do would have been to leave while she gets cleaned up and come back with air freshener. ✩ 17.4k Share

    Font - microwilly 13 days ago. edited 13 days ago It's illegal to deny entrance to your own home in every single state in the US. OP will probably go to jail if the roommate finds this post. Edit: the amount of you who mix up prison and jail is ridiculous. If I were to press charges against someone, they go to jail for booking and to wait for either a jury to decide or they pay bail and walk away. Jail is typically a one night stay, not a lifelong punishment like some of y'all seem to think. It

    Font - gggianaxx 13 days ago YTA and absolutely vile. That's her home, that's where she's meant to clean off where else was she meant to do. That's absolutely disgusting of you to do, sure it smelt but she was probably embarrassed and in a terrible mood, imagine having to walk home like that too and just thinking of a nice shower and curling up in bed to just have someone hold the literal door closed on the apartment you pay to live in. You could've locked yourself in your room after Opening up

    Font - justitia 13 days ago The worst thing is OP could've offered to bring her clothes as well so mate couldve got rid of the clothes she wearin easily. Instead, she locked her out. I hope mate goes to the landlord about this. You are so selfish at so many levels OP. That woman had only home to go

    Font - iamsleepy42 13 days ago . YTA how dare you be so vile as to prevent someone from entering their own home to shower and change clothes. That's literally dehumanising as f-ck 5.6k Share

    Font - Stormschance · 13 days ago Partassipant [3] Answering because I had a friend who was spit on by a llama at a petting zoo once. YTA. A truly horrible one You had no right to keep her out of your shared home. It doesn't matter how bad it smelled, it's still her home. If you had a problem with it, tell her to open the windows and you leave so she can get washed and toss her clothes. Then you come back an hour later with febreze or something along those lines. 3.9k Share

    Font - GlassturtleOG. 13 days ago Asshole Enthusiast [6] YTA She's furious that I dared to hold the door shut and keep her out and is saying that she'll be talking to the landlord or a lawyer because that can't be legal, but I don't know what else I could have done, this is dreadful. You could have just let her in to get clean, would have solved things right then and there. Hope you get evicted over this 3.1k Share

    Font - asplodingturdis 13 days ago Like, if I went out the door and smelled my roommate like that, I would've run back inside to set up the shower and open the windows -so many obvious solutions that are not bar someone from their home and resources.

    Font - Books-and-a-puppy 13 days ago YTA. She pays to live there. A smell will go away but your relationship will not survive this. When I lived with roommates, my dog got sprayed by a skunk late at night. The smell sucked for everyone but I worked my ass off to do whatever I could to make it go away as quickly as possible. You didn't even give her a chance. Not that you deserve a remedy, but I recommend bowls of vinegar.

    Font - toshpto 13 days ago . YTA! You can't just stop someone from coming into where they live. Come on. I do sympathize though, ugh. I know that stench. Never from a camel, but from an alpaca which is probably just as bad. I threw up a couple times and no one wanted to be near me the rest of the day!

    Font - graces-taylor12 - 13 days ago Partassipant [2] YTA - I get that the smell was awful, but come on, it was an unfortunate accident. You could have shown some compassion and offered her a temporary solution instead of treating her like a biohazard.
