Her Roommate Kept Loudly FaceTiming Family Very Late At Night Even Though She Asked For Peace And Quiet, So After Her Roommate Did It Again The Night Before A Big Interview, She Screamed At Her Roommate

This 20-year-old woman currently lives in a house that she shares with four other roommates. And one of her roommates is a 29-year-old named Jane.
According to her, Jane is an immigrant who migrated to her home country about four years ago in search of better job opportunities.
But, she and Jane only met about three months ago, after Jane moved in to replace a former roommate whose lease was up.
Anyway, she and Jane had been getting along fine over the past few months and never really butted heads. Well, that was until just a few days ago when they got into an argument over a FaceTime call.
Apparently, all of Jane’s family members are still living in their native country– which is located within a different timezone.
So, Jane will frequently FaceTime them when it is very late at night– between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.
Now, Jane does not do this every single night. However, she claims that her roommate does it just often enough for it to become very annoying– about four times each week. Plus, it’s not like Jane talks on the phone in her own bedroom, either.
“Jane always does this in the kitchen or living room, and she and her family members are always extremely loud when talking to each other,” she revealed.
So, she has spoken to her roommate about this on a few different occasions– asking if Jane could be more considerate about the noise. She has also suggested that Jane wear headphones, so the rest of the house is not disturbed.

For some reason, though, her roommate simply refuses to do that and claims that headphones would “ruin the experience.” Jane also refuses to FaceTime her family during the day since they would all be asleep.
So, at that point, she just asked her roommate to try to be quieter since the calls kept waking her up, and she had to get up early for work in the morning. Jane also seemed to understand that, too.
“But she didn’t seem eager to fix the problem and kept changing the subject after that,” she said.
Then, earlier this past week, she had an interview over Zoom for a very exciting internship that would be really helpful for her career.
And she knew that the interview was going to be in the morning, so she made her roommates aware about a week in advance and asked if they could ensure that the house was quiet on the day of.
Moreover, she asked her roommates if they would be quiet the night before, too. That way, she could get a good night’s sleep and feel prepared for her interview in the morning.
Well, come the evening before her interview, none of that happened– because at about 12:00 a.m., Jane began very loudly Facetiming with family right in the living room. So, she ended up being woken up, and obviously, she was not happy.
Still, she kept her composure, went into the living room, and asked her roommate to please keep it down.
And at that point, Jane reassured her that she would and claimed she and her family were just saying goodbye.
So, for about 10 minutes afterward, she got some peace and quiet again. Then, out of nowhere, she claims that Jane and her family began “shrieking at each other again.”
This forced her to get out of bed for a second time and ask her roommate to keep it down. She also expressed how stressed out she was about getting up early, and Jane ended up apologizing and promising to be quiet again.
Well, if you could not have guessed, she ended up getting woken up for a third time at about 1:00 a.m. And at that point, she was completely over her roommate’s behavior.
So, she ultimately went downstairs and screamed at Jane to “shut…up.” She also told her roommate that some people were trying to sleep.
This pushed Jane’s family to immediately hang up the call as soon as they heard her yelling. Then, Jane reportedly burst into tears, ran into her bedroom, and “shut herself in there.”
Now, ever since then, Jane has been really upset with her for yelling and actually refuses to even look at her.
Apparently, Jane claimed to just miss her family and told her that she should have more empathy about the situation. On top of that, her other roommates have taken Jane’s side, too– accusing her of being way too harsh.
So, she is feeling pretty conflicted about how she handled the situation.
“I feel guilty for yelling at her, but, at the same time, I am very frustrated with her for being disruptive,” she vented.
And now, she has been left wondering whether yelling at her roommate was the wrong thing to do or not.
Why do you think Jane claims that headphones would “ruin” the FaceTime experience? If your roommate repeatedly kept you up late at night on loud calls, would you get frustrated too? Didn’t she try to ask Jane nicely numerous times before yelling? Was she in the wrong for screaming at Jane, or did Jane deserve it?
