Input: Picture this. It’s late morning and my girlfriend and I are in her room getting over a hangover. I’ve been silently browsing my phone for what seems like a couple minutes but was probably more like an hour. My girlfriend stirs and asks for a cup of tea, which I dutifully get up to make. As I’m chucking some clothes on, I hear a males voice come from behind the (unlocked) door: “Girlfriends name?”. 

Not sure who it is, we hesitate. Next thing you know, girlfriends flatmates friend has walked in. Says his toilet is broken and flatmate doesn’t have any toilet roll so needs to use my girlfriend’s. I say “don’t worry about knocking” in a stern and sarcastic tone. 

He mumbled something like “don’t be like that” as I left the room to make the cup of tea. A short while passes and I return to the cesspit that is my girlfriends room and I’m met with a reprimanding lecture about how rude I was and how I should apologise. Am I the asshole? 

IMO the guy just walked in to the room about a second after he said my girlfriends name. We could’ve been doing anything. What’s more is they are not friends, in fact my girlfriend is actively hostile with the flatmate, so why can the flatmates friend walk in like that?
