Having a roommate is often not easy, especially when your roommate is inconsiderate.

When you try to find a resolution, it can make things even harder.

Check out why the bathroom is the scene of this uncomfortable predicament.

AITA for refusing my roommate’s 11PM shower curfew after she wouldn’t move her hour-long makeup routine out of our only bathroom?

Today I was planning to shower before going out when my roommate went into the bathroom to get ready.

She typically spends about an hour in there doing her hair and makeup.

I asked if she could do her makeup in her room instead since I needed to shower.

She refused, saying she had “already claimed the space” and her stuff was set up.

They can’t get on the same page.

I pointed out she could do makeup anywhere while I can only shower in the bathroom.

Then said I wouldn’t shower, but we should should discuss it for the future.

She said if we were going to talk about that, we needed to talk about the times of day that I shower.

She said that I’m “home all day” and should shower earlier before she’s likely to get home.

She says she often comes home when I happen to be showering when I could’ve done it hours before, and then she has to wait 30 minutes on me.

Then she said she thinks I intentionally time my bathroom use to inconvenience her.

She doesn’t have a consistent schedule, so I don’t actually know when she’s coming home.

I shower late because I like to finish my work, walk my dog one last time before bed and shower after.

And when she showers before me, I regularly wait over an hour without complaint .

She’s also upset that maybe 6 times in two years, I’ve knocked too quickly to use the toilet during her hour-long bathroom sessions.

And it’s pretty serious.

I had sudden and VERY urgent diarrhea during her post-shower skincare routine.

Instead of letting me in, she took an extra 5 minutes and accused me of “holding it” until she’s in the bathroom.

She’s unwilling to budge and insists I need to change the time of day when I shower so that she’s not having to wait.

When I mentioned that my less than 30 minute showers are much shorter to wait on than her hour-long routines she snapped and said “We’re not putting time limits on the shower.”

How should I handle this?

AITA for asking her to do her makeup elsewhere since I can only shower in the bathroom, and then disagreeing with her shower schedule?

Here is what folks are saying.

Some people like to fan the flames!

It’s a good question.

Wow. That isn’t going to help.

I’m sure a lot of people would have that urge.

Definitely. She needs to get out of there.

Some “friend.”

I think she needs a whole new roommate.
