Personal care products can be pretty expensive, especially the higher quality ones.

But not everyone knows that or cares.

See why shampoo and conditioner were the source of drama with a roommate and his friend.

You’re going to love it.

AITA for hiding my expensive shampoo and conditioner from my friend’s guest?

I share an apartment with my friend.

Last weekend, while we were away, he invited his female friend (Sarah) to stay over.

When we got back, I noticed she had used most of my shampoo and conditioner without asking.

So she takes precautions.

I had splurged on these expensive products to treat myself. I also make a lot less money than my friend.

Today, Sarah came over again for a visit and asked to shower at ours before heading to a dance class.

However, I had taken my expensive products to my room this time, leaving only my friend’s basic shampoo out for her to use.

But it creates another problem.

When she couldn’t find the conditioner, she asked my friend, who came to my room to ask me about it.

I told him that she’s his guest, and it’s not my responsibility to provide spa products for her.

My friend got mad and thinks I’m rude and petty. AITA?

Here is what folks are saying.

Good option. Some people are inconsiderate.

It’s bizarre that he put that on her.

I bet he’d get the cheapest one on the shelf.

A LOT of nerve. She needed to take a hint.

At least you didn’t put glue in a bottle.

It could have been worse.
