Story so stupid you won't believe it
The story
im in college now and of course i got roommates. i was really close with one of them but we fought. i was also close with the other two. let's call the girl that i fought with ella. so we needed to do a group project.
In our group there's a guy that i never ecen talked to before. he wanted to borrow our tablet. i have one and ella have on too. our group have 4 people. ne, the guy, ella and my other rommate.
ella was close to the guy and she was pestering me for 3 days straight asking to use my tablet. i don't like sharing my stuff with strangers especially if it's expensive stuff. so i was in a bad mood on the day of the meeting. we discuss the project at the cafe.
i was clearly in a bad mood and my other teammate (roommate- lucy) came and saw me in a bad mood and she decided to ask everyone in front of me what's my problem because i didn't smile at her, which made me more emotional i guess.
then in our room when everyone is back, i didn't talk to anyone just minding my business. when i went out to go to the toilet i heard lucy crying and calling her parents because i didn't smile at her. because unfortunately i have to smile at her 247. saying i don't know why she's like that until her mom wanted to talk to ella about what happened.
then i decided to confront everyone in the room. i was like "i just wanna say something.." then i saw ella taking off her earbuds and was gonna look but decided to put it back on and turn around. i called her another time and she ignored or maybe just didn't hear me. so i was losing my patience a little and raised my voice a bit. so the whole time yeah my intonation was a bit rude but i didn't curse or anything like that.
it escalated. i told her what i wasnt satisfied with and she kept trying to keep turning away the questions. then at one point she's trying to take control of the situation. i said you weren't even listening to what im saying. And she was like no, you didn't say why you're upset. I've been repeating it like crazy. She said explain again. And i didn't want to waste my time so i didn't.
then she said something like you mind ur own business and i mind mine. so i didn't talk to her ever. her parents are like rich i guess? now she wants to call her parents and make meeting with the "director" idk who. She kept calling her dad and friends in front of me to make sure i heard it.
so my question is, did i do her so bad that she wants to call the "director" andher parents over rhis?
i think, honestly she's mad that i didn't suck up to her or something.

man, that sounds like a real mess. reminds me of this time back in school when i had to share my room with someone who was convinced i had to be their best buddy 24/7. it's tough when you're just not feeling it and people expect you to be all chipper all the time. i get why you'd want to keep your stuff private too; especially if you don't trust the person fully yet. did ella always have this need for attention from everyone or is it just now? maybe she's going through her own thing too... but calling the "director"? feels like she’s taking it way overboard; honestly, that's blowing things out of proportion big time!
wow, college drama sure knows how to escalate quickly, huh? 😅 sounds like some folks need a crash course in boundaries and basic communication. it’s wild that ella thinks calling the "director" is the go-to move here... feels like a bit of an overreaction to me; maybe she believes her connections will solve everything. and lucy crying just because you didn't smile? yikes! kinda makes you wonder if they're living in some reality show. people just gotta respect personal space and not act like life's one big group hug all the time. i'm curious if they'll ever realize you're not obligated to cater to their emotional whims 24/7!
sounds like a classic case of college drama blowing up over something that could've been handled with a bit more chill and less theatrics; it's kind of baffling how quickly tension can spiral in such close quarters. i mean, the misunderstanding about the tablet and then everyone taking sides, it's like they're making mountains out of molehills... ella's move to involve parents and some "director" seems way out there, almost as if she's leveraging her connections as a power play rather than resolving things maturely. maybe everyone's just feeling overwhelmed by the new environment and tensions are high, but yeah, it's surprising how they let it get this big instead of sitting down for a straightforward chat.
yeah, it sounds like ella might be going overboard with the director stuff just because of a roommate spat and it's wild that lucy got her parents involved over a smile.
wow, this is a real situation. reminds me of those times when you're just trying to stay in your own lane and people keep dragging you into their drama. everyone reacts differently under stress, but come on, calling the "director" is like next-level extra. it's tough to be expected to share expensive stuff with someone you barely know too, especially if they're close with someone who seems a bit entitled like ella. maybe she's used to getting her way or something? sounds like a lot of unnecessary noise over you just wanting some personal space and boundaries respected.
Ah, college life and all its drama, right? 😅 Seriously though, I get not wanting to share your expensive stuff. Tablets ain't cheap and who knows how careful a stranger will be with it; feels like common sense went out the window here. Ella sounds like she's trying to pull some power move by involving her parents and the "director"... as if that’s gonna magically make everything better. I've dealt with folks like that before who think they can fix any problem with a phone call to mommy or daddy. The whole smiling situation is just bonkers too! Are you supposed to walk around with a permanent grin or what? What's up with Lucy being so sensitive about something so small?
man, i totally get it! roommates can be so frustrating. i had a friend once who acted all weird when i just didnt want to share my laptop with her new buddy... like, buy ur own right?!
people always expect too much from others.
yeah, it's pretty wild how a small disagreement can escalate into a full-blown soap opera; people really need to learn how to address issues head-on without dragging in outside authorities for petty stuff.
Dang, this whole situation sounds like a catfight on steroids. You have every right to set boundaries about your stuff, especially expensive things. It feels almost unreal how ella's dragging the parents and making a fuss over something that should be no big deal in college life; reminds me of those high school days when some folks thought they could wave a magic wand...like having connections means you just get your way. You think maybe ella’s using this "director" angle as her safety net?
Sounds like a total chaotic college mess with roommates acting like they're in some drama series. It's a bit wild that Lucy would get so deeply affected over you not smiling and then dragging her parents into the mix like it's a national crisis. Is this really about the tablet or more an issue of clashing personalities and unspoken expectations between you all? Been there myself, sometimes you're just vibing different from others around you, but man they sure seem to be putting on quite the production over what feels like normal roommate tension. Do they often act this extra or is everyone just having an off week adjusting to college life?
sounds like you’re stuck in a classic roommate drama with everyone taking things way too seriously 😅 (especially with that director nonsense); i guess some people just can't handle situations without getting parents and authority figures involved, which is pretty childish if you ask me; did lucy ever explain why she was so upset about the smiling thing?
wtf thats wild fr. got my dad called b4 too smh
lol dads sometimes make things worse
not sure if this helps, but it seems like there's a lot of miscommunication here and maybe some ego clashing. i get why you wouldn't want to loan out your tablet; expensive gear isn't something to hand over lightly. could be that ella's used to handling things differently because of her background (like involving parents or higher-ups when things don't go her way), which might not mesh well with how you'd typically resolve issues. it's possible everyone's just trying to assert their own boundaries in a new environment, but they're doing it in ways that clash instead of harmonize; makes me wonder if taking a step back and letting things cool off might help everyone see where the other person’s coming from without all the noise.
kinda sounds like ella's acting out to get some control back, you know? it's almost like she wanted to prove a point by calling in the big guns. but honestly, how many times do people think running to authority or parents actually solves roommate issues? it usually just makes things messier. maybe y'all could try chatting when things cool down and see what's up without all the added drama.
yo, college roommates can be a whole circus sometimes. it’s unreal how quickly stuff blows up over small things like a tablet, gotta stand your ground tho, especially when it's about pricey gear. sounds like ella's making it into some kinda power play by dragging in her parents and directors, which is honestly just weak. keeping things civil in shared spaces is hard but maybe all the drama's just living rent-free in their heads. i’d say stick to your guns and don’t get sucked into the theatrics. life's too short for that noise, you know?
sounds like you're trapped in a sitcom episode with everyone losing their heads over the smallest things 😅; i mean, lucy crying over you not smiling at her? that's wild. it’s college, people need to chill and handle stuff on their own without calling parents like we're back in high school. maybe ella thinks pulling the big guns will solve everything, but that’s just ridiculous imo. setting clear boundaries is key, and if anyone's got an issue with that, they need to learn how to have an adult conversation instead of escalating into some dramatic showdown!!!
Man, this whole situation sounds like such a drama fest! College life is already a headache without all this extra. Honestly, it feels like Ella's just trying to flex her connections because she can't handle a simple no. And Lucy getting all worked up about not being smiled at like it's the end of the world? Give me a break 🙄. It’s wild how some people deal with conflict by turning it into an epic saga instead of just talking it out like adults. You'd think folks would learn that calling in the cavalry doesn't solve squat when it comes to roommate beefs.
feels like you’re in a reality show where everyone's overreacting and it’s kinda draining to be stuck in the middle of all that; maybe ella's blowing this out of proportion because she's not used to things not going her way or just playing up the drama for attention?
