AITA for Screwing Over my Friend’s Housing and Ending our Friendship?
So I (18M), my friend Victor (20M), and his girlfriend Jess (18F) are all university students, and we were planning on living with our other friend Daniel (18M) next school year in an on-campus apartment. We have been planning this since November. However, Victor and I have been talking for a few weeks, and we both have our reservations about living with Daniel. He’s always trying to fit us into his schedule so that we can hang out between the times when he has classes and work. None of us have hard classes or jobs, so we don’t have that issue, and it pisses me off that he has actual responsibilities! It really feels like he’s just trying to seem better than us with all of the stuff he does, and it’s holding us back from being a good friend group. Altogether, Victor and I just don’t want to live with him for this.
Well, yesterday was the last day to sign up for roommate groups, and Victor and I decided to tell Daniel that we weren’t going to room with him. However, we only told him this after the window for making a roommate group had closed. It’s not like we meant to do that or anything, we just hadn’t found any good opportunities before then. Except for when we saw him earlier that day, before the window closed, I guess. But it wouldn’t have been as fun if we told him then. On top of that, we texted him this while he was at work, and we knew that he couldn’t check his phone.
So, he saw the text this morning. He was pissed, and called us assholes, which really upset me. I just don’t understand how he can be so mad; all we did was screw around with his housing situation a little bit! When he got mad at us, I tried to calm him down with some silly emojis and told him “calm down, it ain’t that serious!” For some reason, though, that didn’t work. When he stayed mad, Jess took him out of our group chat, and our entire friend group blocked him so that he couldn’t spread his negative energy. However, one of Daniel’s other friends DM’d some of us and said that we were in the wrong for ruining his living situation like that, and now I’m starting to have some second thoughts.
So, AITA for screwing over my friend?

NTA. It seems like none of your friend group liked him anyway since they were all willing to block him immediately. He shouldn’t have reacted so poorly to having his housing messed with if he didn’t wanna be blocked.

Is this a joke? Obviously YTA. Did you even have, like, any actual reasons? Or did you just decide you don’t like him anymore?

NTA, if I was one of your other friends I’d never speak to him again, and completely trust every word you say about him.

UPDATE: AITA for Screwing Over my Friend’s Housing and Ending our Friendship?
Wow, I never expected my post to blow up. Thank you to everyone for all your feedback, other than the irrational losers who thought that I was TA. A lot has happened in the last few days. For one, when we and a bunch of our friends walked past Daniel on the street the other day, I decided to try to start a fight with him, hoping I could get him to hit me so I could get him arrested. I made eye contact and started laughing like a maniac to get his attention. It didn’t work, because all he did was angrily yell at me for a minute (he still believes that I’m TA I guess) before leaving, instead of getting in a fight with me like I wanted. After that, we made sure to block him on every platform we could, since it didn’t seem like we were going to be able to make his life worse with an assault charge.
It’s been another week or so since then, and I just heard from a friend that he didn’t end up getting housing for next year at all. I’m really happy that our university has such a screwed up housing system, so that us messing with his roommate situation can do so much damage to his life. He may potentially be going several thousand more dollars in debt and having to work for years to pay it off? And on top of that, we got the exact apartment we wanted without him? Universities truly are a wonderful place. Thanks to everyone for your kind words, and I’ll update if we decide to pull any more fun tricks on him again!

Still NTA. Daniel’s getting everything he deserves for trying to be upset about an honest mistake you made! If he wants to be a douche to you for something as small as jeopardizing his entire housing and financial situation, then the best thing you can do is point your middle finger right at him and say “Fuck you!”
u/DramselPam • 2 days ago
Yeah man, NTA. It seems like he really deserved to be blindsided like this, and for all of his friends to ditch him without a word. I know I’d be literally running away from him if I was one of them and I saw him, even if he was obviously ignoring me.

- Oh, are all of your posts just re-animated scenes from monster movies with no quality or consistency? I don’t know if I trust your takes very much based on the derivative stuff you make.
u/TransLichenGuy • 1 day ago
I’m pretty sure all these guys saying NTA are just your friends or bot accounts, because this is one of the most obvious YTA cases ever, right? Am I crazy?
