This 24-year-old guy currently shares an apartment with a 26-year-old woman named Amy.

And ever since Amy moved in, he’s been expected to pick up his roommate late at night whenever she was out at the club or hanging out at someone’s house.

In the beginning, he would always agree to help Amy out, too, since he was just trying to be polite. But, she’s since gotten used to his kindness and has been taking advantage of it– expecting him to pick her up each time she goes out on Friday and Saturday nights.

“Bare in mind, we’re not friends, and the only time we speak is about the apartment, bills, and when she needs to get picked up,” he said.

So, about three weeks ago, he started to become frustrated and told Amy that she needed to be more responsible. In other words, she had to stop relying on him to always make sure that she arrived home safely.

“I don’t want to spend my whole weekend worrying about where she is and when I’ll need to pick her up,” he added.

Amy seemed to understand this and promised that she wouldn’t call him anymore.

Well, just last week, his roommate called him again on Friday for a ride home. But while he was definitely irritated, he didn’t think he could just leave Amy stranded.

So, he went and picked her up. Then, the following morning, he reiterated his boundary and told Amy that if she called him again, then he wouldn’t show up for her. He made it clear that he was done with her shenanigans.

Yet, the very next evening, Amy called him late at night and woke him up.

He picked up the phone and, surprise, Amy asked him for a ride home from a friend’s house. But this time, he didn’t cave.

“I told her if she could call me, then she could order an Uber or get a ride from someone else. Then, I hung up and went back to sleep,” he recalled.

The following day, Amy was furious with him– accusing him of being a bad person for just going back to sleep and not even wondering if she was safe or not. She also claimed that anything could have happened if she had taken an Uber.

Still, he didn’t budge and told Amy that she was a grown woman. So, it was her responsibility to drink responsibly and, beforehand, make sure she had a way to get home safely.

“I also said that I get being out late and taking Ubers is not the safest option, but I’m not willing to be her savior every single weekend and that she should figure it out and not involve me,” he vented.

Regardless, with his roommate still upset with him, he’s been left wondering whether refusing to pick her up from the club actually made him a jerk or not.

Would you be annoyed if your roommate constantly got drunk and relied on you for rides? Did he have a right to put his foot down? Would you have picked up your roommate that night anyway or gone back to sleep as he did?
