Guy Complains About Roommate's Dog And Says That He Isn't Stepping Up To Control It
We're back again with another infamous Reddit post from the AITA thread that we're going to dive into and give you all the details about. This one is actually about a roommate that is coming to Reddit to see if he is in the right for reacting how he did or if he's overreacting to the situation.
These AITA thread posts are usually posted to get an unbiased opinion or advice on whether or not they are wrong for what they did or said in a situation. Sometimes it's just best to get opinions from the internet of people that don't know you at all.
Ultimately, we wanted to go over this post because we know that having roommates can sometimes make things difficult, and people might not know how to respond to it. So we wanted to share some of the comments and the post to see how people would have responded and if OP did the right thing.
So if you're interested in hearing more about this story and seeing what people had to say in response, then keep on reading as we get into all of the details on the full post and screenshots of some awesome comments.
OP starts off by giving us a little bit of context on his roommates and the dog situation to get us the details before starting the story.
u/puzy_LettuceHe says that the dog doesn't behave very well and that his roommate doesn't seem to do anything to help it either.
u/puzy_LettuceHe goes on to list more of the behavior issues from the dog and expresses how the dog owner doesn't even try to do anything to help train him.
u/puzy_LettuceOne of the bigger problems is the dog sleeping on the couch at night even though he is not supposed to.
u/puzy_LettuceHe said that they've all complained but that the roommate just brushes off the complaints and tried to divert the issue to them.
u/puzy_LettuceHe tries to play devil's advocate a little bti and explain where he may be wrong or where he could agree with his roommate.
u/puzy_LettuceUltimately his issue is that his roommate thinks that they all should be taking care of the dog instead of it just being his responsibility because it is his dog.
u/puzy_LettucePretty much the first comment said that the dog is not OP's so it is not his responsibility at all to do anything or take care of the dog in any way.

They go on to tell them to set rules and boundaries because it is their home too. It can be a huge responsibility to have a dog so setting rules for that roommate is essential.

This is a pretty true statement too because the dog should be sleeping in the roommates room, instead of in the living room where it isn't allowed and also where the other roommates stay at.

Pretty much everyone said that the dog is not a shared responsibility because it is not his responsibility at all.

Ultimately people said that he is NTA and that he shouldn't be responsible for the dog at all because it isn't his dog at all. People gave him the advice to get the dog trained and to set boundaries with the roommate and his dog.
What do you think about this situation?
