Housemates Unleash Fury On Lady After She Insists On Getting A Dog In Their Pet-Friendly Rental Even After Finding Out That One Of Them Has A Horrible Dog Allergy
Imagine the excitement of a 23-year-old woman embarking on her new journey of independence. The cool city summers of New York have welcomed her with open arms as she begins her internship at a dream company.
Alongside her bustling career, she finds solace in the idea of a warm, loving pet – a rescue puppy, to be precise. Securing a room in a shared triplex, she believes she's found a perfect setting for her budding future, especially given the pet-friendly policy.
Indeed this young intern has envisioned a harmonious life with her dream dog, whom she has already reserved the name "Dex" for.
But as the saying goes, "Life happens when you're busy making other plans." A ripple disrupts her tranquil pond of dreams as she learns of a housemate's severe allergy to dogs.
It's not just an occasional sneeze but a situation grave enough to put the guy in a hospital. He stays just a floor below her, and shared spaces like the entryway would make it impossible to avoid exposure to her dog.
Yet, she has her reservations. She argues that a pet-friendly house was not the best choice for someone with such intense allergies and that early communication could've avoided this quandary.
Torn between her long-cherished dream and her housemate's health concerns, she's now caught in a whirlwind of accusations of selfishness from her co-inhabitants. The question arises, who is in the wrong?
Could a simple assumption be blamed for causing this dilemma, or was it a lack of timely communication? Scroll down to read the full details, as well as the Reddit community's verdict.
