Unemployed woman refuses to wake up for 1pm job interview, chews out roommate for not waking her up: 'I’m not her caretaker'

At a certain age, it is your responsibility to wake yourself up when you need to be up. 

We should all have more grace for each other. We're all trying to figure it out, and nobody has it perfectly nailed down. We're all running around doing the best we can, just trying to make it work. But at a certain point, you have to take responsibility for your own life. You get to be a certain age, and you stop getting so much slack. You don't want to inconvenience other people through your own incompetence. You have to get it together at a certain point, or get help. And that starts with waking up in the morning and getting out of bed. This is step one. Sometimes it's the hardest step, sure. It can be the worst thing that we have to do all day. But if you don't do that, it's hard to do much of anything else. 

I'm a heavy sleeper, so I get it. It's not easy to drag yourself out of bed in the morning. You sleep through alarms as if they never went off. You will wake up, turn the snooze button on, and not even remember doing it. In some ways, it's a blessing. It's good to sleep well. But that doesn't mean it's not your fault when you oversleep. It happens, but unless someone is intentionally sabotaging you, it's your fault. Sorry to say. The woman in this story didn't think so, though, and blamed her roommate when it all came tumbling down. At a certain point, you have to become accountable for your own actions and stop looking outside of yourself for the answer. You won't get very far that way, and you'll lose a lot of friends in the process. That's what was threatening to happen here, between two roommates who couldn't quite figure it out.
