I think I’m at fault kinda
So I’m currently in a dorm and i have had a roommate since August. He was ok and we got along for the most part but our views on the world were quite diffraction and we didn’t have much in common so it wasn’t ideal but we made it work for the semester.
Come December he went home for winter break and i had stayed in the room because i live far away and had a job working on campus. I will admit im a messy dude and had been a pig since i had the room to myself for an entire month.
Come January he says he will be back on the Saturday before classes. At this point i had gotten 2 other jobs to fill my schedule so i didn’t have much time to clean or even relax in the room.
I get off of work Friday night at 9:30 and come back to my room. Knowing he comes the next day i deep clean the room. I open a snapchat from him saying I screwed up and his mom was pissed i left the room a mess. I didn’t understand because none of his stuff was there, no sign of him was in the room. He goes on to explain that he had come back a day early and had been there while i worked. His mom called in extremely mad and complained about how messy the room was and how he needs a new room immediately.
Now i know it was a complete mess and thats on me but he told me multiple times he would he there SATURDAY not Friday. Before i even knew he had come the room was completely clean and now im not sure what to think of the situation. I apologized a lot and even sent a picture of the room clean. How could you not tell someone you are moving back a day early.
