Her Roommate Freaked Out On Her For Refusing To Leave A First Date To Help Her After She Got Locked Out
This 26-year-old woman currently lives with her roommate Rachel, who’s 25, and they have been friends for a long time. But, while everything had been mostly fine between them, Rachel really ticked her off last weekend while she was on a date with a guy.
For some context, she’d liked the guy for a while and was really excited to go out with him. The night started off great, too, and it was clear that he put in a ton of effort.
“We weren’t just hanging out. He had planned out a whole evening of activities,” she recalled.
Yet, during the middle of her date, she received a bunch of frantic texts from Rachel, who’d accidentally locked herself out of their house.
Her roommate had gone to a friend’s house and was texting her from there at the time. However, Rachel proceeded to ask if she could leave her date, go home, and let her back inside.
Apparently, her roommate didn’t feel safe walking around their neighborhood alone at night. Rachel also couldn’t stay at her friend’s house, as her friend had to get up early for work in the morning and didn’t want to have a sleepover.
“And Rachel called a locksmith, but they wouldn’t arrive for at least another two hours and charge over $100,” she added.
Despite all of this, she never planned on going back to her house at all after her date, and even if she just traveled back to let Rachel inside, it was going to be at least a 45-minute drive.
Still, she came up with a compromise and told her roommate that she would come back after all. Rachel would just have to wait until her date was over.

“I texted Rachel back that she could either wait a few hours until I got back or crash at her friend’s place for the night,” she detailed.
Well, rather than being thankful that she was willing to change her plans, her roommate just proceeded to flip out on her – calling her a bad friend. Plus, she got accused of “abandoning” Rachel in an emergency simply because she was out on a date.
She pointed out how it wasn’t her fault that her roommate was locked out. In fact, she believed Rachel was at fault for forgetting her keys and could’ve made other arrangements for the evening.
“It’s worth mentioning this isn’t the first time Rachel’s locked herself out,” she noted.
Anyway, after their argument, her roommate wound up sleeping at a friend’s place, and they’ve barely spoken to each other ever since.
Now, this has left her wondering whether refusing to leave her date and help out her roommate was really so unreasonable or not.
Should she have been there for her roommate, or was her roommate being inconsiderate? What would you have done in her shoes?
