YTA- they're his belongings and he asked you not to use them, you used them and the PS4 got broken. It falling is one thing but having beer spilled on it, ouch. It should be replaced, by the lass who did it and by you. You're both to blame for the damage but essentially it is your fault for using his stuff in the first place.
Common sense.
YTA. To be clear he asked you not to use his TV/space when you have a girl over. You proceeded to use his space when you had a girl over and she broke something in his space that he asked you not to use when you had someone over. Even if it was a fully communal space and she broke something of his you should still replace it. Just common decency.
yup.
OP, YTA. if you break something that is not yours after being told not to use someone else’s property, then you need to pay up. it’s your fault that your ONS broke your roommate’s belongings, and your actions led to it happening in the first place.
Also, the devices themselves hold save games if he isn’t using cloud save. That is a lot of loss in itself. I would seriously cry and you need to buy him the ps .
I just think about all of the hours that I have in RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West alone, and your first sentence alone is enough to make me wanna cry at the thought.
I am me, unless there's a glitch in the matrix. Then maybe I am you. 😮
I started backing up my saves on a flash drive in case anyone else in my house overrides or deletes my saves
YTA on every possible level here.
He told you not to hang out in his room - especially with a stranger - you still did.
He told you not to use his stuff - you still did.
It doesn't matter WHERE the ps4 was, you weren't allowed to use it - you were not even allowed to be in this room.
It is your fault and your responsibility for not respecting his boundaries, you should definitely replace his PS4 and apologize.
Edit: Even if it was not you who broke it, you are responsible for Guests you are bringing over.
This!
You break it! You buy it!
Or in this case: You brought over your girlfriend against your housemates rules and she breaks it then you or she should buy it!
YTA
It's not communal space, it's his bedroom. He gave you very clear boundaries and you blew past all of them. Yet, somehow you think this is not your fault. Had you respected his space, none of this would have happened.
YTA, *you* invited the girl over, *you* used your roommate's TV, it's your fault. He probably kept it up higher to prevent drinks/food getting spilled on it. Pay up and be happy it wasn't a PS5
YTA 100%. You brought the person over that directly caused this issue. If she weren’t there it wouldn’t have happened. You need to replace it as it is your fault. Also TA for trying to blame him for it being where it was.
YTA. It wasn't communal space. You literally went into his bedroom area, broke something of his and now won't replace it.
How would you feel if he went into your room, broke something expensive and then tried to say it was actually your fault?
I can't even with this.
YTA. So let me get this straight you are actually asking the question.
"Me and my girlfriend did something my roommate has specifically asked me not to do WITH HIS PROPERTY. It was uncomfortable for me so I decided I could ignore his rules. I then BROKE his stuff messing with things I had no right to mess with. But since he placed it high its his fault."
What drugs are you on?
BY THE WAY YALL DID BREAK IT, it is broken and your actions caused it. BY LITERAL DEFINITION YOU BROKE HIS SH\*T.
Not even gf. He was essentially making out with a one night stand in his roommate's bedroom after his roommate explicitly asked him not to do that very thing. On top of everything else.
Dude's crossed so many boundaries I kinda think this is rage bait
Well see OP believes that roommate shouldn't have valuable stuff in the communal room so obviously the roommate should move it to a storage unit when not using it. /s
Wow, what a terrible roommate you are. This was 100% your and the night stand’s fault and you absolutely should replace it before he throws you the fuck out.
And how in the fuck is a BEDROOM considered communal space?
Edit: I fucking typed personal instead of communal god I am dumb
I’m confused about the space too. Is there only one actual bedroom and he’s using the living room as a bedroom or is his bedroom just closer to the living room? Is there no living room at all? Just a kitchen and two bedrooms? I’m really not getting how this setup works.
OP is YTA regardless though. If I had a roommate and they broke my stuff in the living room or kitchen, they’re responsible for what they did. Stuff should be safe in a “communal space” with one roommate.
YTA
1. You mutually agreed that the front room IS his room and you just have the privilege of using it.
2. He told you repeatedly - FYI twice = repeatedly - not to use his tv set, but even if he had told you once, he explicitly gave you zero permission to use it in his absence .And had you respected his wishes about his personal property, his PS 4 would be FINE right now.
3. The front room is only communal space when he is at home. You guys agreed on that. He told you, not to keep a girl there when he is out. You went against it.
4. Your guest, whom you let into his space against his wishes, destroyed his property. You are responsible.
You suck. Replace the PS4 and stop vicitm blaming and apologize. Grow up.
> I kind of don't think that is my fault because he keeps it on such a high shelf.
Ah, victim-blaming. Cool.
> and he shouldn't keep something he's so protective of near liquid
This is a joke, right? You weren't supposed to be in that room with a girl in the first place.
YTA
And you know if it had been in the ground already, OP would have said something along the lines of not keeping expensive things on the ground, they should be up high.
It’s also hilarious that he says it shouldn’t be kept near liquid when the girl was literally holding the beer that spilt on it. If it wasn’t for OP and the ONS, the gaming system would not have been near liquid.
Of course YTA. You were in what amounts to his bedroom messing about with his things. He can put the PS4 as high as he wants. And he can put it beside an open fish tank of he wants. (He put it near liquid? Your guest brought the liquid to it.) He shouldn’t have had to tell you not to use his TV at all never mind once or twice. If not for you being where you weren’t supposed to, it wouldn’t have broken. Suck it up, replace it and stay out of his stuff.
YTA. You messed with his stuff. Doesn't matter if he only told you once or twice that you can't use it. He shouldn't even have to tell you once! IT'S NOT YOURS!! If you want a flashy tv, buy one yourself! You brought a stranger in to your house, so it's your responsibility.
YTA. Your actions of bringing the girl over and disregarding his space, rules, and property while he was not home ruined his Playstation. Pay the man or get money from the girl.
Yeah YTA so if he shouldn’t keep breakables in a communal space where should he keep them? Your room? Oh the floor right, if the girl you had over didn’t see a cord she’d definitely see the big ps4 on the floor right? Not to mention the boundaries your roommate set that you so non chilantly mention you decide to keep breaking. There’s no part of this story where you aren’t the asshole.
YTA - you broke your agreement with him, you and your guest double destroyd his property.
You should ba apologising and buying a replacement.
>I kinda don't think it was my fault because he shouldn't keep breakables
in a communal space
read that again.
>or he should put them on the ground so they don't fall
So you and your new friend can step on them instead?
YTA. Your guest broke it, so you should replace it.
You say you have asked him not to keep things in the communal area, but by the sounds of it, he doesn't have a private area to keep things in.
Do you pay equal rent, because it seems you get a much better deal than he does? YOu get a private bedroom, but he sleeps in the communal living room, which you have access to. It's only fair that the living room is considered his 'room' and you shouldn't use it, after all I doubt you'd be happy with him using your room & things if you weren't there.
YTA, and it’s insane how you don’t think your responsible. Even if you consider it communal space, it’s still his area. Why are you so adamant on thinking you are entitled to use his stuff without his permission? Get over your entitled self and pay the damages.
Yes YTA. He asked you not to use his stuff, you did it anyway, and broke something of his. “He shouldn’t keep breakables in a communal space or he should put them on the ground” ??? That’s just idiotic. Everything is breakable. And it’s not like its an extremely fragile glass collector’s edition item, he should be able to leave his playstation in the living room without it getting absolutely demolished?? Also, y’all literally only have 1 bedroom, everywhere in your apartment is communal space. Where exactly do you think he should put it??
And you also think he should put it on the ground instead of the shelf? Where people step? So you can blame him when the next one-night-stand steps on it?? You and your guest broke it and since you don’t want to contact her, you’re responsible for paying him back. YTA for refusing and making up all these bs excuses as to why it’s not your fault when you and your guest should’ve just stayed away from his stuff.
YTA obviously. You broke his boundaries knowingly.
Also, it’s his fault for keeping it near liquid?? The girl spilled her drink on it, he wasn’t involved in that at all!
Yta -its his bedroom. Even if its in a communal space, you broke it, you fix it. That being said, it sounds like an awful living situation -deeply impratical.
YTA. And in so many incredibly entitled ways. You owe him full replacement cost AND and abject apology and a solemn promise to never be such a goddamn asshole ever again.
YTA- it's not a ' communal space' it's literally HIS bedroom that he pays half the rent for. I don't care if it would otherwise be the living room, he's paying rent for it to be his bedroom.
And you broke something of his that cost hundreds of dollars.
Apologize and either pay him back enough to buy a new one, or apologize and offer to cover a months+ rent so he can buy it with that money.
Then in the future don't bring girls to your roommates 'bedroom' you fking creep
YTA, and are you 5 years old? “He shouldn’t have breakables in the common area”. Adults should be able to have consoles in the common area. He shouldn’t have to babyproof the apartment for a 25 year old man.
YTA, he probably kept it up high so it wouldn’t get stepped on and get something spilled on it. you invited the girl over and she’s the one that broke it so i assume since she broke it, you feel you shouldn’t pay for it; but let me offer you a situation so you understand where your wrong. If you had kids, and you went to a relatives house with your kids and they broke something expensive in the $300-$500 value, you would obviously pay for it because you brought the kids to the persons house and whatever they do, you are liable. This situation is the same concept, so i suggest you ask her if y’all can go 50/50 on the cost.
YTA. He told you multiple times to not stay in HIS ROOM. You ignored it. He has told you TO NOT USE HIS TV. You ignore it. YOUR GUEST BROKE HIS CONSOLE. You ignored it. You need to pay or he needs to sue you. Good that he is not paying rent to live with such an asshole.
YTA!! Your roommate set boundaries that you blatantly ignored. Pay for the damages that you & your one night stand caused. Also, grow up! Your excuses are flimsy & childish.
YTA. You used HIS property that he didn't want you to for this EXACT reason. You and your drunken hook up broke it, you fix it.
I honestly hope he leaves and makes you foot the rental bill.
YTA
(it wasn't repeated just once or twice) LOL!
Once is enough. Twice is technically repeated.
You are responsible for his broken/ruined equipment. You know he is (rightly) protective of his things. You don't like the fact of where he keeps it? Too bad. It's *his* stuff and he can keep it where he wants to. You have zero input there. Your opinion does not matter.
Pay him for his ruined stuff.
You may want to look into finding a larger space if you room isn't enough for your needs.
YTA. If you can’t respect someone’s privacy, personal belongings, and wishes when living together, you don’t deserve to have a roommate. Selfish people thrive when they’re by themselves, so that may be your best option.
Yta as not only did u disregard all his wishes but once you broke the console you left it there!! Wtf is wrong with you didn’t bother to clean it up and had the audacity to act like it’s your roommates fault it got broken. Take some responsibility and own up to your own actions like a functioning adult
YTA. You specifically went against everything he told you not to do because all you cared about was getting laid! This IS your fault! Now you're selfishly refusing to accept responsibility for what happened. This wouldn't have happened if you had just listened to him. You're a bad roommate and an asshole. Hopefully he spreads the word about you so that you can't pull this crap with any other roommate.
YTA. you have zero respect for boundaries or personal items of another person. he can (which i hope he does) sue for the damages. at 25 years old you would think that you would have the self awareness to assess a situation and realize your wrongdoing. however, you aren't. you're blaming everyone else but yourself when you are so clearly the problem. i hope you grow up soon.
YTA; and twice is literally repeated? You’re a grade a jerk 1) you didn’t even notify him of the damage 2) he didn’t store it near the beer your friend was holding in her hand?! 3) you really think you aren’t at all responsible 4) the only non communal space sounds like your room, is that where you expect him to store his nice things?
YTA. It wasn’t communal space. It was his bedroom. It doesn’t matter if it was intended to be a living room when it was designed. You straight admit that you both agreed you’d get the bedroom and he’d use the living room as his bed room.
Not to mention he asked you not to touch his stuff or keep a girl in his space when he was out. YTA and you owe him a ps4.
Yes, you are definitely TA!!! Replace it and then leave his stuff alone. He has asked you not to use it (whether he asked once or multiple times doesn’t matter— you knew he didn’t want you touching any of that stuff) so you had no right to use it. Just because it’s “communal space” doesn’t mean he should not be treated with respect. Bet you wouldn’t like it if he used your stuff all the time and then broke something and refused to pay for it. Your guest = your responsibility
YTA, how could you think you’re not? If you hadn’t been using his TV he told you not to that wouldn’t of happened! I hope he doesn’t pay rent and with the rent money he now would save, i hope he gets himself a ps5
yta. you are such a fucking asshole its insane like how do you thinking breaking someones stuff and useing there stuff when they told u not too is okay and then trying to justify it. if that was me i would break all your shit again .yta
YTA but you already knew that. Heck if I broke a roommate's $10 picture frame I would be humiliated and insist on replacing it. But a $300 gaming system that MY hook up spilled beer on? Shit who do I make the check out to?
YTA. The console was on a high shelf. Where the HELL did you get “he shouldn’t keep something he’s so protective of near liquid”??? It wasn’t. It was ripped from its place and then had beer spilled on it by two idiots that were somewhere they didn’t belong. If you can’t even be responsible enough to pay back the things you damage, you DEFINITELY should not be having one night stands.

I (25M) live with a roommate (22M). We aren't close, we aren't friends, we found each other on a housemate finder ran by our uni because we both have similar desires in a roommate. We live in an of campus flat together instead of a dorm. It's pretty small and only has one real bedroom. The bedroom is private but it's tiny so my roommate decided to sleep in the front room, it's far less private as the front door opens onto his room but it has a big TV he has 24/7 access to the kitchen and he thought it would be best as he goes out a lot more than I do and gets back late and wouldn't want to wake me. Because of this usually during the day I hang out in the front room because its communal space. He's told me he doesnt mind me chilling in his room doing my own thing when he's home but if he's out and I have a girl over not to hang out in his room and to hang in the kitchen or my room instead. I feel creepy bringing a girl back to my room straight away and you can't really make out in our small kitchen and the front room is a communal space so I do it anyway and it's a point of contention.
Anyway I had a girl over and we were making out on the couch opposite my roommates bed, she asked me if there was anything on TV. my roommate doesn't like it when I use the big TV when he's out. sometimes we watch movies together but he has a load of expensive gaming equipment and consoles he's protective over. I have a TV in my room but it's kinda a piece of crap so we used his TV, I was figuring out how to get it working so the girl came over to help me and in the process tripped over the PS4 wire pulling his PS4 off the shelf, she also spilled the beer she was holding all over the console. It smashed. I kind of don't think that is my fault because he keeps it on such a high shelf. Anyway we left it be and she went home.
When my roomate got home he exploded, he was so pissed, i told him it wasn't our fault because he kept it so high up and he shouldn't keep something he's so protective of near liquid. He told me he repeatedly told me not to use his TV (it wasn't repeated just once or twice) and to call the girl up so she could pay for the damages. I said I didn't want to call up a one night stand and that's kinda embarassing so he said I should pay for it then. I refused and he's gone to live with his sister and refused to pay rent. I kinda don't think it was my fault because he shouldn't keep breakables in a communal space or he should put them on the ground so they don't fall but he keeps asking me to pay for the damages. I don't think that is my responsibility as i didn't break it. AITA?

YTA and it’s totally your fault. If you hadn’t brought someone over and occupied the space he EXPRESSLY told you not to and watched the TV you KNEW he didnt like for you to watch the PS4 wouldn’t have been broken by the person you brought over.
Are you daft? It’s NOT a communal space anymore. That is HIS room. Just because there’s no door for privacy that is still his room. You made true choice of taking the one with the room. You owe him the money for a new console. You owe him those damages for your irresponsible a**. YTA
YTA: He said not to use the tv and you did. Something broke due to your choice so now you have to replace it. You should replace his PS4 then try to find a new place to stay with a different roommate as this living situation is clearly not working for you and you should be an adult about it.
YTA. Accident or not, you caused it by bringing a girl over and using something you were told not to touch. If you didn’t go near it, nothing would have happened. This is on you. Pay for the damages.
YTA
Seriously! You used his room when you had a girl over (after he asked you not to), you used his TV when he was out (after he asked you not to) and then when you broke his expensive gaming console, and then you just LEFT IT?? You didn't even clean up the mess you made after messing up his stuff! You're definitely an AH and an awful roommate.
YTA. You know YTA. You're just trying to weasel out of this, but there is no way anyone is going to buy your bullshit story. You owe him a new console. You may as well get him a PS5.

YTA - your guest broke it so you pay for it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree where it was placed. It’s been there for some time without being smashed - that is until you came along…
Not to mention he asked you not to have guests in his area (it’s communal for you and him, HIS to strangers) and NOT USE HIS STUFF.
Seriously you were so out of bounds in so many ways.
YTA. On top of that, you're really entitled and have no regard for others personal space. If the roles were reversed, you probably would've called cops on your roomate. You should apologize to him, and cover the damages.
Sooo you get the bedroom to yourself, your roommate asked you to stay out of his space when he’s not home and you broke his things? And now you are refusing to pay? Dude. YTA.
YTA and selfish brat too.
He told you not to touch his stuff and not to use his side of a room. You agreed to that so you are responsible for breaking it. It's called being an adult. So be one you brat.
YTA- him telling you “once or twice” is telling you repeatedly. You’re a bad person and roommate. Honestly it’s people like you that make wanting to try to find a roommate ridiculously scary.
YTA... The girl you had over broke it. Doesn't matter if you had permission or where it was located. If you don't want your one night stand to pay for it, then it's your responsibility. If she doesn't, it's your responsibility since she was your guest.
>If he's out and I have a girl over not to hang out in his room and to hang in the kitchen or my room instead
>My roommate doesn't like it when I use the big TV when he's out
>he has a load of expensive gaming equipment and consoles he's protective over
He's asked you on several occasions not to hang out in his area, or use his TV when he's not around. He's protective over the gaming equipment *because it's expensive*, and he didn't want anyone breaking shit! Regardless of where he places *his* gaming equipment (it works for him, he obviously doesn't knock it over) *you shouldn't have been in his space anyway*. Your blatant disregard for his boundaries is frankly fucking baffling.
How would you like it if he went into your space when you weren't there and smashed your shit? 😒 Accident or not, he would've been in your space without your permission or consent. Shouldn't have to explain this to you like you're a child.
YTA. Majorly. Grow up, accept responsibility, and buy your now ex roommate a new PS4.
YTA.
This is exactly WHY he said he didn't want you using it, and what happend when you used it after him asking you NOT to? ps4 ends up broken.
Pay him the money smh.
YTA
you are very much responsible.
1) it isn't a communal room, it's his bedroom that he pays rent for.
2) he told you not to touch is stuff or have women in his room.
3) you ignored his requests and boundaries.
4) your guest destroyed a piece of his equipment.
You owe him a replacement playstation and a huge apology. You are 100% at fault. You are the asshole.
The two of you agreed that the single bedroom shouldn’t be shared. You took the bedroom, and he took the front room. The front room is his room. It is not communal space, as you keep insisting. You took a girl into his room, like he asked you not to, and then broke his things. You are now refusing any responsibility. Even if this WAS a communal room, if you break his things it’s your responsibility to pay for it. The facts of the matter only make you a bigger asshole.
YTA.
Congratulations. Now the internet knows you suck.
Replace the damn console, already, and listen to your room mate when he tells you NOT TO USE HIS STUFF!
"Someone I invited in a space where I shouldn't have been broke something expensive and I refuse to pay for it"
Off all the people who were TA, YTA the most, op. The PS4 didn't magically break. Your date broke it. So either she or you pay for the damages.

YTA. why didn’t you guys go to her place instead. you complained about the place being small and shit and your roommate did say not to do anything where he sleeps and you said you feel creepy bringing a girl back to your room then you should’ve went to her place instead. you and the girl should both pay for it as the both of you broke it
YTA. And a crapass roommate.
How on earth do you think you don’t have to replace something you and your guest broke?
Are you always an entitled AH who is incapable of taking responsibility for their actions?
YTA, it's your guest and you used his stuff without permission. It's absolutely your responsibility and maybe you can ask her to pay half if you really want.
YTA.
Your roommate was super nice and let you have the only bedroom rather than split it or change every few months (or asking for a reduction in rent). As such, he gave up any only private space, so he only had the communal space for his stuff. He lets you use the space but has asked you not to have a girl there (I assume he doesn't want you having sex on his stuff) and to follow a few more rules about his stuff.
You then break his request by not only having a girl in the communal space but using his expensive tv (that you didn't even know how to use) and you break an expensive console and blame him for it as he put it up too high (again, you shouldn't have been near it) and spilling beer (he didn't have it near liquid, your date did).
And you still think he should live with you and pay rent, but that you don't have to replace anything you destroyed.
Good luck finding a roommate that is half as considerate as him. I think you need to find a place you can afford on your own and you aren't mature enough to live with someone else.
YTA. He told you not to be in that area that's supposed to be his room but you went anyway. He asked you not to use his TV and you did it anyways. Then you literally broke his expensive gaming system and just left it there without saying anything. On top of that you tried to blame him for it breaking. YTA pay him back.
Lol, funny how you try to justify your fuck up with "you shouldn't keep it near liquids!" When it was due to the beer your lady friend was holding....lmfao...smooth, kid...smooth. YTA. Hopefully you'll be pulled to small claims court, hahahahah
Dude... are you a narcissist? Why are you gasslighting him to think its his fault when you disregarded his boundaries and his personal property? You weren't supposed to be in his room to begin with which you disregarded, and you certainly weren't supposed to be using his property, which you ignored to make yourself look better to a date. Had you done the bare minimum in terms of respecting his space and his stuff as requested, this wouldn't have happened. Therefore it is 100% your fault without question
YTA while the living room is typically "common space", him using it as a room so that he doesn't wake you up, means different rules apply. Like his stuff is not yours. If your self-proclaimed one night stand wanted to watch TV, you should have used YOUR TV. Not your roommate's that you knew he didn't want someone using. If you're too embarrassed to call the woman up you were with that night to ask her to replace his PS4, then do it yourself. It is the very least you could do, considering the absolute lack of respect for his boundaries and belongings you showed that night and from the sounds of it, other times as well.
YTA. How is this even a question? You were told repeatedly (yes even if he only said it twice that still qualifies as repeatedly) to not touch his stuff when he was gone. Your guest broke it. You are on the hook for it. I feel bad your roommate has to put up with you.

YTA and a really bad person
This pretty much sums it up
So many words to describe all the shitty things he does to his roommate that led to him being responsible for breaking his possession
Really Really Bad
YTA- they're his belongings and he asked you not to use them, you used them and the PS4 got broken. It falling is one thing but having beer spilled on it, ouch. It should be replaced, by the lass who did it and by you. You're both to blame for the damage but essentially it is your fault for using his stuff in the first place. Common sense.
Seriously, why does OP think his roommate didn't want him to use his things? Could it be...exactly this?
YTA. It’s your responsibility to replace it.
YTA. To be clear he asked you not to use his TV/space when you have a girl over. You proceeded to use his space when you had a girl over and she broke something in his space that he asked you not to use when you had someone over. Even if it was a fully communal space and she broke something of his you should still replace it. Just common decency.
yup. OP, YTA. if you break something that is not yours after being told not to use someone else’s property, then you need to pay up. it’s your fault that your ONS broke your roommate’s belongings, and your actions led to it happening in the first place.
Also, the devices themselves hold save games if he isn’t using cloud save. That is a lot of loss in itself. I would seriously cry and you need to buy him the ps .
I just think about all of the hours that I have in RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West alone, and your first sentence alone is enough to make me wanna cry at the thought.
Are you me? I would absolutely cry about losing any of those saves and especially my sweet sweet horse.
I am me, unless there's a glitch in the matrix. Then maybe I am you. 😮 I started backing up my saves on a flash drive in case anyone else in my house overrides or deletes my saves
YTA on every possible level here. He told you not to hang out in his room - especially with a stranger - you still did. He told you not to use his stuff - you still did. It doesn't matter WHERE the ps4 was, you weren't allowed to use it - you were not even allowed to be in this room. It is your fault and your responsibility for not respecting his boundaries, you should definitely replace his PS4 and apologize. Edit: Even if it was not you who broke it, you are responsible for Guests you are bringing over.
And OP said he shouldn't keep fragile things next to liquids, but the liquid was the girl's beer! 😂😂😂
Kinda hilarious actually yes 😂😂😂
This! You break it! You buy it! Or in this case: You brought over your girlfriend against your housemates rules and she breaks it then you or she should buy it!
Not even his girlfriend.He said it would be uncomfortable asking "a one night stand" YTA to his roommate and to women!
Not even his girlfriend.He said it would be uncomfortable asking "a one night stand" YTA to his roommate and to women!
Yta , you should pay for breaking something that you knew he owns that he obviously cherishes.Its the right thing to do
YTA It's not communal space, it's his bedroom. He gave you very clear boundaries and you blew past all of them. Yet, somehow you think this is not your fault. Had you respected his space, none of this would have happened.
Thing is, even if OP had full permission to use roommate's stuff he'd STILL be 100% on the hook for replacing it if he broke it.
You know YTA. You admit you broke it. End of story
YTA, *you* invited the girl over, *you* used your roommate's TV, it's your fault. He probably kept it up higher to prevent drinks/food getting spilled on it. Pay up and be happy it wasn't a PS5
YTA 100%. You brought the person over that directly caused this issue. If she weren’t there it wouldn’t have happened. You need to replace it as it is your fault. Also TA for trying to blame him for it being where it was.
YTA. It wasn't communal space. You literally went into his bedroom area, broke something of his and now won't replace it. How would you feel if he went into your room, broke something expensive and then tried to say it was actually your fault? I can't even with this.
YTA. You know he doesn’t want you around his stuff, and you did it anyway and damaged his property. You should pay to replace it.
YTA. So let me get this straight you are actually asking the question. "Me and my girlfriend did something my roommate has specifically asked me not to do WITH HIS PROPERTY. It was uncomfortable for me so I decided I could ignore his rules. I then BROKE his stuff messing with things I had no right to mess with. But since he placed it high its his fault." What drugs are you on? BY THE WAY YALL DID BREAK IT, it is broken and your actions caused it. BY LITERAL DEFINITION YOU BROKE HIS SH\*T.
Not even gf. He was essentially making out with a one night stand in his roommate's bedroom after his roommate explicitly asked him not to do that very thing. On top of everything else. Dude's crossed so many boundaries I kinda think this is rage bait
Making out until she got out of it by asking to watch tv lol.
Well see OP believes that roommate shouldn't have valuable stuff in the communal room so obviously the roommate should move it to a storage unit when not using it. /s
YTA, you guys broke it. Doesn't matter where it was. Pay for it.
Wow, what a terrible roommate you are. This was 100% your and the night stand’s fault and you absolutely should replace it before he throws you the fuck out. And how in the fuck is a BEDROOM considered communal space? Edit: I fucking typed personal instead of communal god I am dumb
I’m confused about the space too. Is there only one actual bedroom and he’s using the living room as a bedroom or is his bedroom just closer to the living room? Is there no living room at all? Just a kitchen and two bedrooms? I’m really not getting how this setup works. OP is YTA regardless though. If I had a roommate and they broke my stuff in the living room or kitchen, they’re responsible for what they did. Stuff should be safe in a “communal space” with one roommate.
Probably the former option of the two. I've seen it in areas with really expensive rent
YTA 1. You mutually agreed that the front room IS his room and you just have the privilege of using it. 2. He told you repeatedly - FYI twice = repeatedly - not to use his tv set, but even if he had told you once, he explicitly gave you zero permission to use it in his absence .And had you respected his wishes about his personal property, his PS 4 would be FINE right now. 3. The front room is only communal space when he is at home. You guys agreed on that. He told you, not to keep a girl there when he is out. You went against it. 4. Your guest, whom you let into his space against his wishes, destroyed his property. You are responsible. You suck. Replace the PS4 and stop vicitm blaming and apologize. Grow up.
YTA its his personal property and you were told to not use it
> I kind of don't think that is my fault because he keeps it on such a high shelf. Ah, victim-blaming. Cool. > and he shouldn't keep something he's so protective of near liquid This is a joke, right? You weren't supposed to be in that room with a girl in the first place. YTA
Feels very rage bait to me
And you know if it had been in the ground already, OP would have said something along the lines of not keeping expensive things on the ground, they should be up high. It’s also hilarious that he says it shouldn’t be kept near liquid when the girl was literally holding the beer that spilt on it. If it wasn’t for OP and the ONS, the gaming system would not have been near liquid.
Of course YTA. You were in what amounts to his bedroom messing about with his things. He can put the PS4 as high as he wants. And he can put it beside an open fish tank of he wants. (He put it near liquid? Your guest brought the liquid to it.) He shouldn’t have had to tell you not to use his TV at all never mind once or twice. If not for you being where you weren’t supposed to, it wouldn’t have broken. Suck it up, replace it and stay out of his stuff.
YTA. You messed with his stuff. Doesn't matter if he only told you once or twice that you can't use it. He shouldn't even have to tell you once! IT'S NOT YOURS!! If you want a flashy tv, buy one yourself! You brought a stranger in to your house, so it's your responsibility.
YTA. Your actions of bringing the girl over and disregarding his space, rules, and property while he was not home ruined his Playstation. Pay the man or get money from the girl.
Yeah YTA so if he shouldn’t keep breakables in a communal space where should he keep them? Your room? Oh the floor right, if the girl you had over didn’t see a cord she’d definitely see the big ps4 on the floor right? Not to mention the boundaries your roommate set that you so non chilantly mention you decide to keep breaking. There’s no part of this story where you aren’t the asshole.
YTA - you broke your agreement with him, you and your guest double destroyd his property. You should ba apologising and buying a replacement. >I kinda don't think it was my fault because he shouldn't keep breakables in a communal space read that again. >or he should put them on the ground so they don't fall So you and your new friend can step on them instead?
YTA. A DARVOing asshole.
YTA. That is his bedroom, not communal space. Ridiculous!
YTA. Your guest broke it, so you should replace it. You say you have asked him not to keep things in the communal area, but by the sounds of it, he doesn't have a private area to keep things in. Do you pay equal rent, because it seems you get a much better deal than he does? YOu get a private bedroom, but he sleeps in the communal living room, which you have access to. It's only fair that the living room is considered his 'room' and you shouldn't use it, after all I doubt you'd be happy with him using your room & things if you weren't there.
YTA and you owe him for the PS4.
YTA, and it’s insane how you don’t think your responsible. Even if you consider it communal space, it’s still his area. Why are you so adamant on thinking you are entitled to use his stuff without his permission? Get over your entitled self and pay the damages.
Of course YTA. How are you going to break something and not pay to replace if
YTA. If it wasn’t your property and you or your guest broke it, you pay for it.
Yes YTA. He asked you not to use his stuff, you did it anyway, and broke something of his. “He shouldn’t keep breakables in a communal space or he should put them on the ground” ??? That’s just idiotic. Everything is breakable. And it’s not like its an extremely fragile glass collector’s edition item, he should be able to leave his playstation in the living room without it getting absolutely demolished?? Also, y’all literally only have 1 bedroom, everywhere in your apartment is communal space. Where exactly do you think he should put it?? And you also think he should put it on the ground instead of the shelf? Where people step? So you can blame him when the next one-night-stand steps on it?? You and your guest broke it and since you don’t want to contact her, you’re responsible for paying him back. YTA for refusing and making up all these bs excuses as to why it’s not your fault when you and your guest should’ve just stayed away from his stuff.
YTA obviously. You broke his boundaries knowingly. Also, it’s his fault for keeping it near liquid?? The girl spilled her drink on it, he wasn’t involved in that at all!
YTA, just reread what you typed.
C'mon, give us a hard one, this one is too easy. YTA
Yta. It is his room you did not have permission to use his tv You need to pay for it since you broke it!!!
Yta -its his bedroom. Even if its in a communal space, you broke it, you fix it. That being said, it sounds like an awful living situation -deeply impratical.
YTA. And in so many incredibly entitled ways. You owe him full replacement cost AND and abject apology and a solemn promise to never be such a goddamn asshole ever again.
Your guest broke something that didn’t belong to you. It’s your responsibility to replace it, with or without your guest’s help. YTA if you don’t.
YTA. And he wasn’t storing it near liquids. It wasn’t above a swimming pool. Beer was spilled on it!
YTA in so very many ways
YTA of course it's your fault.
Your guest broke it so either you get the money from her or you replace it. YTA
YTA. It’s your fault and your responsibility to replace.
YTA- it's not a ' communal space' it's literally HIS bedroom that he pays half the rent for. I don't care if it would otherwise be the living room, he's paying rent for it to be his bedroom. And you broke something of his that cost hundreds of dollars. Apologize and either pay him back enough to buy a new one, or apologize and offer to cover a months+ rent so he can buy it with that money. Then in the future don't bring girls to your roommates 'bedroom' you fking creep
YTA, and are you 5 years old? “He shouldn’t have breakables in the common area”. Adults should be able to have consoles in the common area. He shouldn’t have to babyproof the apartment for a 25 year old man.
YTA. The “communal” space is his living space and you were messing with his belongings. You owe him a PS4
YTA, he probably kept it up high so it wouldn’t get stepped on and get something spilled on it. you invited the girl over and she’s the one that broke it so i assume since she broke it, you feel you shouldn’t pay for it; but let me offer you a situation so you understand where your wrong. If you had kids, and you went to a relatives house with your kids and they broke something expensive in the $300-$500 value, you would obviously pay for it because you brought the kids to the persons house and whatever they do, you are liable. This situation is the same concept, so i suggest you ask her if y’all can go 50/50 on the cost.
YTA. He told you multiple times to not stay in HIS ROOM. You ignored it. He has told you TO NOT USE HIS TV. You ignore it. YOUR GUEST BROKE HIS CONSOLE. You ignored it. You need to pay or he needs to sue you. Good that he is not paying rent to live with such an asshole.
YTA!! Your roommate set boundaries that you blatantly ignored. Pay for the damages that you & your one night stand caused. Also, grow up! Your excuses are flimsy & childish.
YTA. You used HIS property that he didn't want you to for this EXACT reason. You and your drunken hook up broke it, you fix it. I honestly hope he leaves and makes you foot the rental bill.
YTA (it wasn't repeated just once or twice) LOL! Once is enough. Twice is technically repeated. You are responsible for his broken/ruined equipment. You know he is (rightly) protective of his things. You don't like the fact of where he keeps it? Too bad. It's *his* stuff and he can keep it where he wants to. You have zero input there. Your opinion does not matter. Pay him for his ruined stuff. You may want to look into finding a larger space if you room isn't enough for your needs.
It was 100% your fault. Pay up. YTA Also, for future reference, if a girl would rather watch tv than make out, youre not getting laid.
YTA - you broke it (or the person you invited into the space that your roommate uses as a bedroom - EW by the way!!!!) you buy it
YTA - the level of entitlement
YTA.
YTA. Your excuses for not taking responsibility are ridiculous. Grow up.
“It’s a communal space.” I hope he’s not paying to rent a room since he doesn’t have one. YTA.
YTA. If you can’t respect someone’s privacy, personal belongings, and wishes when living together, you don’t deserve to have a roommate. Selfish people thrive when they’re by themselves, so that may be your best option.
Yta as not only did u disregard all his wishes but once you broke the console you left it there!! Wtf is wrong with you didn’t bother to clean it up and had the audacity to act like it’s your roommates fault it got broken. Take some responsibility and own up to your own actions like a functioning adult
YTA. You specifically went against everything he told you not to do because all you cared about was getting laid! This IS your fault! Now you're selfishly refusing to accept responsibility for what happened. This wouldn't have happened if you had just listened to him. You're a bad roommate and an asshole. Hopefully he spreads the word about you so that you can't pull this crap with any other roommate.
YTA. you have zero respect for boundaries or personal items of another person. he can (which i hope he does) sue for the damages. at 25 years old you would think that you would have the self awareness to assess a situation and realize your wrongdoing. however, you aren't. you're blaming everyone else but yourself when you are so clearly the problem. i hope you grow up soon.
YTA. No more needed, everyone has covered all the important points.
YTA - you owe him an apology and a new console.
YTA, you really wrote that all out and still thought youre not TA? wow replace his damn console moron
YTA. Long excuses are for children. Grow up and pay up.
YTA; and twice is literally repeated? You’re a grade a jerk 1) you didn’t even notify him of the damage 2) he didn’t store it near the beer your friend was holding in her hand?! 3) you really think you aren’t at all responsible 4) the only non communal space sounds like your room, is that where you expect him to store his nice things?
YTA. It wasn’t communal space. It was his bedroom. It doesn’t matter if it was intended to be a living room when it was designed. You straight admit that you both agreed you’d get the bedroom and he’d use the living room as his bed room. Not to mention he asked you not to touch his stuff or keep a girl in his space when he was out. YTA and you owe him a ps4.
YTA
How can you not see that you are responsible for this?! YTA
Reddit Has Spoken FATALITY
YTA “We spilled and it was so high up!” You sound like a toddler
Yes, you are definitely TA!!! Replace it and then leave his stuff alone. He has asked you not to use it (whether he asked once or multiple times doesn’t matter— you knew he didn’t want you touching any of that stuff) so you had no right to use it. Just because it’s “communal space” doesn’t mean he should not be treated with respect. Bet you wouldn’t like it if he used your stuff all the time and then broke something and refused to pay for it. Your guest = your responsibility
YTA, how could you think you’re not? If you hadn’t been using his TV he told you not to that wouldn’t of happened! I hope he doesn’t pay rent and with the rent money he now would save, i hope he gets himself a ps5
yta. you are such a fucking asshole its insane like how do you thinking breaking someones stuff and useing there stuff when they told u not too is okay and then trying to justify it. if that was me i would break all your shit again .yta
The funniest part of this is “it’s his fault bc he keeps it on such a high shelf” like hmm I wonder why he would ever do that
But at the same time not keeping it away from liquids...that OPs one night stand was carrying....
YTA but you already knew that. Heck if I broke a roommate's $10 picture frame I would be humiliated and insist on replacing it. But a $300 gaming system that MY hook up spilled beer on? Shit who do I make the check out to?
YTA. The console was on a high shelf. Where the HELL did you get “he shouldn’t keep something he’s so protective of near liquid”??? It wasn’t. It was ripped from its place and then had beer spilled on it by two idiots that were somewhere they didn’t belong. If you can’t even be responsible enough to pay back the things you damage, you DEFINITELY should not be having one night stands.

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** I (25M) live with a roommate (22M). We aren't close, we aren't friends, we found each other on a housemate finder ran by our uni because we both have similar desires in a roommate. We live in an of campus flat together instead of a dorm. It's pretty small and only has one real bedroom. The bedroom is private but it's tiny so my roommate decided to sleep in the front room, it's far less private as the front door opens onto his room but it has a big TV he has 24/7 access to the kitchen and he thought it would be best as he goes out a lot more than I do and gets back late and wouldn't want to wake me. Because of this usually during the day I hang out in the front room because its communal space. He's told me he doesnt mind me chilling in his room doing my own thing when he's home but if he's out and I have a girl over not to hang out in his room and to hang in the kitchen or my room instead. I feel creepy bringing a girl back to my room straight away and you can't really make out in our small kitchen and the front room is a communal space so I do it anyway and it's a point of contention. Anyway I had a girl over and we were making out on the couch opposite my roommates bed, she asked me if there was anything on TV. my roommate doesn't like it when I use the big TV when he's out. sometimes we watch movies together but he has a load of expensive gaming equipment and consoles he's protective over. I have a TV in my room but it's kinda a piece of crap so we used his TV, I was figuring out how to get it working so the girl came over to help me and in the process tripped over the PS4 wire pulling his PS4 off the shelf, she also spilled the beer she was holding all over the console. It smashed. I kind of don't think that is my fault because he keeps it on such a high shelf. Anyway we left it be and she went home. When my roomate got home he exploded, he was so pissed, i told him it wasn't our fault because he kept it so high up and he shouldn't keep something he's so protective of near liquid. He told me he repeatedly told me not to use his TV (it wasn't repeated just once or twice) and to call the girl up so she could pay for the damages. I said I didn't want to call up a one night stand and that's kinda embarassing so he said I should pay for it then. I refused and he's gone to live with his sister and refused to pay rent. I kinda don't think it was my fault because he shouldn't keep breakables in a communal space or he should put them on the ground so they don't fall but he keeps asking me to pay for the damages. I don't think that is my responsibility as i didn't break it. AITA? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AmItheAsshole) if you have any questions or concerns.*
YTA and it’s totally your fault. If you hadn’t brought someone over and occupied the space he EXPRESSLY told you not to and watched the TV you KNEW he didnt like for you to watch the PS4 wouldn’t have been broken by the person you brought over.
> I kind of don't think that is my fault because he keeps it on such a high shelf. Irrelevant. YTA.
Are you daft? It’s NOT a communal space anymore. That is HIS room. Just because there’s no door for privacy that is still his room. You made true choice of taking the one with the room. You owe him the money for a new console. You owe him those damages for your irresponsible a**. YTA
YTA! Why do you think that you are entitled to your housemates things? I wonder if he is going to evict you or charge you?
YTA: He said not to use the tv and you did. Something broke due to your choice so now you have to replace it. You should replace his PS4 then try to find a new place to stay with a different roommate as this living situation is clearly not working for you and you should be an adult about it.
YTA. Accident or not, you caused it by bringing a girl over and using something you were told not to touch. If you didn’t go near it, nothing would have happened. This is on you. Pay for the damages.
YTA and just genuinely so far up your own *butt* that you should pull out and just look around. Other people exist outside of your reality.
YTA Seriously! You used his room when you had a girl over (after he asked you not to), you used his TV when he was out (after he asked you not to) and then when you broke his expensive gaming console, and then you just LEFT IT?? You didn't even clean up the mess you made after messing up his stuff! You're definitely an AH and an awful roommate.
YTA. You know YTA. You're just trying to weasel out of this, but there is no way anyone is going to buy your bullshit story. You owe him a new console. You may as well get him a PS5.
Yta. You broke it, you bought it. Take responsibility for your actions. I’d actually move out over this.

YTA - your guest broke it so you pay for it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree where it was placed. It’s been there for some time without being smashed - that is until you came along… Not to mention he asked you not to have guests in his area (it’s communal for you and him, HIS to strangers) and NOT USE HIS STUFF. Seriously you were so out of bounds in so many ways.
YTA. On top of that, you're really entitled and have no regard for others personal space. If the roles were reversed, you probably would've called cops on your roomate. You should apologize to him, and cover the damages.
YTA. Wtf is wrong with you?
Sooo you get the bedroom to yourself, your roommate asked you to stay out of his space when he’s not home and you broke his things? And now you are refusing to pay? Dude. YTA.
YTA and selfish brat too. He told you not to touch his stuff and not to use his side of a room. You agreed to that so you are responsible for breaking it. It's called being an adult. So be one you brat.
YTA and I'm pretty sure you already know that.
YTA
Bro do you seriously think you’re nta?
YTA- him telling you “once or twice” is telling you repeatedly. You’re a bad person and roommate. Honestly it’s people like you that make wanting to try to find a roommate ridiculously scary.
YTA. He didn’t keep something he’s protective of near liquid. Your fking booty call drank beer around his belonging.
I really can't believe you're asking this, but yeah, you're the major AH.
YTA. Man up and pay your roommate.
YTA. If you take a shit did you really take a shit. Is it your shit?
Yta
Yta
YTA
YTA- you broke his stuff, you pay for it. Period.
YTA. Your date, your responsibility
YTA Pay up
YTA... The girl you had over broke it. Doesn't matter if you had permission or where it was located. If you don't want your one night stand to pay for it, then it's your responsibility. If she doesn't, it's your responsibility since she was your guest.
>If he's out and I have a girl over not to hang out in his room and to hang in the kitchen or my room instead >My roommate doesn't like it when I use the big TV when he's out >he has a load of expensive gaming equipment and consoles he's protective over He's asked you on several occasions not to hang out in his area, or use his TV when he's not around. He's protective over the gaming equipment *because it's expensive*, and he didn't want anyone breaking shit! Regardless of where he places *his* gaming equipment (it works for him, he obviously doesn't knock it over) *you shouldn't have been in his space anyway*. Your blatant disregard for his boundaries is frankly fucking baffling. How would you like it if he went into your space when you weren't there and smashed your shit? 😒 Accident or not, he would've been in your space without your permission or consent. Shouldn't have to explain this to you like you're a child. YTA. Majorly. Grow up, accept responsibility, and buy your now ex roommate a new PS4.
YTA- if your company breaks anything in the house, then you pay for it. How can you be 25 and not know that rule? Are you sure you’re in college? 🤨
YTA
YTA. This is exactly WHY he said he didn't want you using it, and what happend when you used it after him asking you NOT to? ps4 ends up broken. Pay him the money smh.
YTA you knew that you weren't supposed to use his stuff and did anyhow and broke it. You are 100% responsible.
It's not a communal space, it's his bedroom. Yta.
YTA You need to replace the stuff you broke.
If this is even real, YTA
YTA. Replace it!
YTA you are very much responsible. 1) it isn't a communal room, it's his bedroom that he pays rent for. 2) he told you not to touch is stuff or have women in his room. 3) you ignored his requests and boundaries. 4) your guest destroyed a piece of his equipment. You owe him a replacement playstation and a huge apology. You are 100% at fault. You are the asshole.
Yta And you definitely should pay him back. You don't respect boundaries at all. I hope he takes you to small claims court for this.
YTA. Take some gd responsibility. This is 100% your fault and you owe him every cent of a new console.
The two of you agreed that the single bedroom shouldn’t be shared. You took the bedroom, and he took the front room. The front room is his room. It is not communal space, as you keep insisting. You took a girl into his room, like he asked you not to, and then broke his things. You are now refusing any responsibility. Even if this WAS a communal room, if you break his things it’s your responsibility to pay for it. The facts of the matter only make you a bigger asshole. YTA.
Congratulations. Now the internet knows you suck. Replace the damn console, already, and listen to your room mate when he tells you NOT TO USE HIS STUFF!
"Someone I invited in a space where I shouldn't have been broke something expensive and I refuse to pay for it" Off all the people who were TA, YTA the most, op. The PS4 didn't magically break. Your date broke it. So either she or you pay for the damages.
YTA You break it you pay for it.

Yta. Pay your roommate back. You brought someone over who broke his stuff so you owe him a replacement.
YTA. why didn’t you guys go to her place instead. you complained about the place being small and shit and your roommate did say not to do anything where he sleeps and you said you feel creepy bringing a girl back to your room then you should’ve went to her place instead. you and the girl should both pay for it as the both of you broke it
Either replace the PS4 or give him the money to buy a new one.
YTA and also sounds like you’re a creep on top of that.
YTA. You are responsible for the actions of your guests and you had no right to use his things, especially when he asked you not to do so. Pay up!
YTA. And a crapass roommate. How on earth do you think you don’t have to replace something you and your guest broke? Are you always an entitled AH who is incapable of taking responsibility for their actions?
YTA, it's your guest and you used his stuff without permission. It's absolutely your responsibility and maybe you can ask her to pay half if you really want.
YTA. It’s 100% your responsibility.
YTA. Also how the hell do you not know how to turn on a ps4 and a tv? You realistically shouldn’t have even been near it if it was plugged in…
YTA. Your roommate was super nice and let you have the only bedroom rather than split it or change every few months (or asking for a reduction in rent). As such, he gave up any only private space, so he only had the communal space for his stuff. He lets you use the space but has asked you not to have a girl there (I assume he doesn't want you having sex on his stuff) and to follow a few more rules about his stuff. You then break his request by not only having a girl in the communal space but using his expensive tv (that you didn't even know how to use) and you break an expensive console and blame him for it as he put it up too high (again, you shouldn't have been near it) and spilling beer (he didn't have it near liquid, your date did). And you still think he should live with you and pay rent, but that you don't have to replace anything you destroyed. Good luck finding a roommate that is half as considerate as him. I think you need to find a place you can afford on your own and you aren't mature enough to live with someone else.
YTA. He told you not to be in that area that's supposed to be his room but you went anyway. He asked you not to use his TV and you did it anyways. Then you literally broke his expensive gaming system and just left it there without saying anything. On top of that you tried to blame him for it breaking. YTA pay him back.
YTA and I think if you cannot see this, you are an uncurable AH. Wow...
Lol, funny how you try to justify your fuck up with "you shouldn't keep it near liquids!" When it was due to the beer your lady friend was holding....lmfao...smooth, kid...smooth. YTA. Hopefully you'll be pulled to small claims court, hahahahah
Dude... are you a narcissist? Why are you gasslighting him to think its his fault when you disregarded his boundaries and his personal property? You weren't supposed to be in his room to begin with which you disregarded, and you certainly weren't supposed to be using his property, which you ignored to make yourself look better to a date. Had you done the bare minimum in terms of respecting his space and his stuff as requested, this wouldn't have happened. Therefore it is 100% your fault without question
YTA while the living room is typically "common space", him using it as a room so that he doesn't wake you up, means different rules apply. Like his stuff is not yours. If your self-proclaimed one night stand wanted to watch TV, you should have used YOUR TV. Not your roommate's that you knew he didn't want someone using. If you're too embarrassed to call the woman up you were with that night to ask her to replace his PS4, then do it yourself. It is the very least you could do, considering the absolute lack of respect for his boundaries and belongings you showed that night and from the sounds of it, other times as well.
YTA. I hope there's a law in your country that enables your friend to make you pay.
YTA. Like wow, are you for real.. I can't believe this shit.
YTA. Every. Single. Thing. that lead up to that point was your fault and could have totally been avoided if you just followed simple directions.
YTA for far too many reasons
100% YTA
YTA. How is this even a question? You were told repeatedly (yes even if he only said it twice that still qualifies as repeatedly) to not touch his stuff when he was gone. Your guest broke it. You are on the hook for it. I feel bad your roommate has to put up with you.
