Ah, the never-ending tale of roommate drama. Is there anyone on this Earth who has zero roommate drama in their lifetimes? Whether you live with siblings, a best friend, or a romantic partner, you probably have a story or two about when typical roommate annoyances intensified the drama in your relationship. Hopefully, it's nothing as crazy as what this man had to endure. 

This story does not reveal the origins of how this man came to live with his roommate. However, his landlords were his roommate's parents, so we can take an educated guess on how their relationship came to be. Anyway, it didn't last long. It's important context to note that these men are in their 30s, so they are full-grown adults. We can expect a level of immaturity from certain roommates, say from college, but this roommate takes it to a whole other level. After getting home from a long day of work, the original poster (OP) in this story went straight to his room and lay on his bed when he noticed he forgot to shut his door, only to realize his door wasn't there. Keep reading to see how we got here.

    Today I(34M) came home from work and walked up the stairs to my bedroom. I always close my door when I leave. I got to my room and at first I was like "Oh I guess I forgot to shut my door" but then when I went to close the door it was gone. Like it took my brain a minute to realize the door

I didn't get a response at first so I sent another text saying I would call the police if he didn't get back to me. For context my roommate is on house arrest and wears an

When I asked him what made him think that he says "Yeah I don't I guess you didn't say that" then after more questioning he says "I don't know

    Update: After some searching I found the door in the shed that is in the backyard. I called the police and filed and report to document the behavior. After that I reached out to his parents (The landlords) and explained to them what happened and that I was no longer comfortable living there.

    His father said he understood and would have my security deposit for me. The strange part is that the parents didn't seem surprised just disappointed. I think they knew he has issues and probably hoped that I would help keep him grounded by living there.

    Update 2: While at work today BRM texted saying I owe him money for the days I stayed there, which is strange because I've already paid rent for Aug. So I replied that I already made arrangements with the parents. Then about an hour later I get

    Over_Cranberry1365 • 1d ago Is there someone monitoring his compliance beyond the ankle monitor? If yes, I'd make a phone call and tell that person that he's behaving strangely and you are concerned enough that you've gone to stay elsewhere temporarily.
