“He starts saying that I am being homophobic that if a straight couple had sex on my bed that I wouldn't be threatening them with small claims court.”

Most people who live with roommates don't lock the door to their room and like to think that their roommate would never directly or indirectly allow anything bad to happen to their room. If you can't trust your roommate, many problems will arise in the long term, and that's not something people are ready to deal with.

It's important to set boundaries while living with roommates. There needs to be a clear understanding with your roomie; certain boundaries can't be crossed to ensure the peacefulness of the house. 

Respect is essential when it comes to sharing a living accommodation with people. The lack of it always leads to people overstepping their boundaries and allowing themselves to do things you wouldn't necessarily approve of behind your back.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/throwRA98989431 made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where they explained how their roommate invited some friends over while they were away and allowed them to get into their room. Op found poop stains on their bed and asked him to pay for a new one but the roommate refused and called them a homophobe.

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/throwRA98989431:

OP's roommate invited some friends over while they were away.

The roommate only agreed to replace the bedsheet but not the whole bed.

OP refused to use that mattress anymore and got called a homophobe after insisting on having the mattress replaced.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/throwRA98989431's post:

That's not supposed to happen.

You don't have to be gay to know that.

No one would accept sleeping on a mattress in that condition.

The roommate allowed them in and should take full responsibility.

You're not supposed to do that, period.

The roommate accused OP of homophobia while saying something homophobic himself.

It's very inconsiderate and thoughtless to do that to someone.

The roommate needs to make things right because he allowed the incident to happen.

OP isn't homophobic for speaking up for themselves.

OP needs to start locking their room.

Gay or straight, it's still disgusting regardless.

OP's has a high-end luxury mattress that is supposed to last forever.

This is OP's cue to leave.

The roommate has no respect and isn't to be trusted.

This is not normal behavior, and the roommate should take responsibility for his mistakes.

The roommate owes OP and can try to get money from his friends.

OP has every right to ask their roommate to pay for a new mattress. He caused this problem by allowing his friends inside someone else's room, therefore he is responsible for whatever damage they caused.

He can try to make his friends pay for it, otherwise, he should do it himself. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
