On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, one Redditor (OP) recently shared her ups and downs with a school friend who later became a roommate. Things seemed fine at first when they worked and lived together, but troubles brewed over bills and blame.
The OP got a high-paying job at a factory. Soon then, her roommate applied to this company and asked the OP to drive her to and from work every day. The OP said it was okay if the roommate would pay her half of the gas bill. However, three months passed, and the roommate only paid the OP $5 for gas.
Financial stress and unfairness loomed large, leading to a dramatic decision. The OP decided to move out and refused to continue to drive her roommate to and from work. Was the OP wrong? Scroll down to read the entire story and share your thoughts with us.
