‘I don't think it's fair’: Roommate uses the washing machine while another roommate is repairing it, then ends up flooding their hardwood floor apartment and insists they split the $800 cost

Rommate debacles seldom end well, and that's because both parties believe they are correct; whether that be in regard to doing the dishes, cleaning the floors, or breaking an appliance, no one wants to take accountability. However, there's usually someone who is in the right, and then someone who is glaringly in the wrong. Let's see what you think of the two roommates in this next story.

Nobody likes a know-it-all; we know this to be true. However, if you have a roommate who can repair appliances without going to a handyman who will almost always be expensive to hire, you embrace that know-it-all with a smile.

The know-it-all in question is the roommate who posted the story you're about to read, and they explain that they were repairing the apartment washing machine and notified their roommate of updates about when it can be used again. The other roommate didn't listen and ended up flooding the floor.

Now, the other roommate wants to split the cost of the damages, but the narrator believes they are not to blame for the flood. What do you think? Scroll below to see what commenters have to say about it.
