Would you ever trust a roommate to use your debit card? What would you do if they kept using it?

In this story, one man is okay with his roommate using his debit card once, but when there was another charge, he took action.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for changing my roommate’s Netflix password after they used my bank card to pay for their account without asking?

My roommate apparently forgot their card details or something, so they used my debit card once, and I trusted them.

Next month they set their Netflix to AUTORENEW with my card and didn’t ever bother to ask.

Time to take action.

I changed the password and restricted my card.

He is furious and says I made him lose a subscription they paid for “emotionally”, ngl I think he has too much of an ego but still, AITA?

The roommate is not to be trusted. If OP’s card was used to pay for Netflix, then it’s OP’s Netflix account now. I see no problem with changing the password.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

The roommate is obviously in the wrong, so wrong that what he did was a crime.

This person suggests giving the roommate two options.

I think he learned that lesson.

You can’t “emotionally” pay for anything.

Stealing is never okay.
