Living in a shared space comes with its fair share of challenges. Interestingly, shared bathrooms seem to be the major bone of contention among roommates in this day and age.

Different people have different ways of using the bathroom; while some take care to clean the place after their business, others have no care in the world for simple hygiene.

In this context, a Reddit user (OP) shared their personal bathroom saga on the AITA subreddit. But what makes this store unique is that they unwittingly unraveled a plot to make them the villain of the group.

The crux of the matter? A perpetually wet toilet seat—not from water, but urine!

One roommate, evidently tired of the moist mystery, took to the group chat to express their frustration. They pointed fingers at both OP and their third roommate as possible perpetrators of this messy act.

The third, in an act of either genuine ignorance or sly deflection, claimed total innocence. This particular roommate emphasized their meticulous bathroom habits, especially wiping the toilet seat after use.

As the texts grew heated, OP, who had been a silent observer, unveiled a game-changing fact: they hadn’t been home for days.

With the list of suspects narrowed down to one, the third roommate could no longer feign innocence. Yet, even in confession, they delivered a comedic twist.

According to them, the ‘urine’ was nothing more than water from drying their hair and face – a dubious explanation that likely raised more eyebrows than it settled.

Scroll down to get a glimpse of the hilarious exchange.

Let's dig into the details

This is one of the most hilarious stories you're going to read today. Painful, but pretty funny to read

Not everyone lifts the seat when they pee. Yup, some people just don't care!

According to this Redditor, this messy behavior is more common than most people think. And their partner is a culprit

If only everyone cared enough to clean up after they pee, the world would be a better place

If you're too grossed out to lift the toilet lid with your hands, you can try using your big toe

According to this Redditor, OP's roommate didn't do anything wrong

If your aim is bad, you can just sit

The overwhelming majority is on OP's side on this matter. It's sad that his roommate tried to be sneaky rather than just own up to their mistake.

OP was lucky to be on vacation when this report came in; if not, it would have been tough to convince anyone of his innocence with how smoothly the third roommate was talking.
