Let me ask you a question…

If you were going to stay at a friend’s house for a few days and you were planning on bringing a pet, you’d let them know, right?

I know I would!

And I think most people would agree with me…

And that’s why the woman who wrote this story on Reddit was thrown for a loop when her friend showed up at her place…with a dog.

Did she act like a jerk?

Let’s see what’s going on here!

AITA for not letting my friend stay at my place after she showed up uninvited with her dog?

“I (24F) have a pretty small apartment—two bedrooms, one bathroom, and not a lot of space.

I love my place, but it’s definitely cozy.

You brought a dog?

Recently, my friend Lara (25F) called me and said she was coming to town for a couple of days and asked if she could stay at my place.

We’re close, so I said yes, no problem—but here’s the kicker: she showed up with her dog and didn’t mention it beforehand.

Now, I love animals, but my apartment is not pet-friendly, and I’m allergic to dogs.

I’ve mentioned my allergies to her before, and she knows I’m not the biggest fan of having pets in small spaces.

When she arrived, I was polite and offered to help her find a nearby pet-friendly hotel, but she started insisting that I should just let her keep her dog at my place for the night.

She said, “It’s just for a couple of days, can’t you just suck it up?”

Jeez…

I told her that I didn’t feel comfortable with her dog being there, especially since I would be miserable with my allergies and it’s really just too small for a dog to be running around.

She got really upset, saying that I was being unreasonable and overreacting and that I was “ruining her trip.”

Well, that’s settled!

I ended up telling her she could either leave the dog in a kennel or find another place to stay.

She left and didn’t speak to me for a couple of days.

A few of my mutual friends think I should have been more accommodating, but I think I have a right to prioritize my health and comfort.

AITA for not letting her stay with her dog?”

It’s pretty inconsiderate to bring a pet without telling someone…

That’s putting it mildly, really.
