Getty A woman shared on Reddit that she and her roommate are childhood friends but have very different opinions when it comes to what to share on social media After noticing that her friend was showing off the woman's bedroom and other personal items online, she confronted her and got her roommate to say she'd stop However, when the woman found out that wasn't the case, she "completely lost it" and took matters into her own hands A woman says she took drastic measures to ensure her social media-obsessed roommate was no longer able to post about her private life without her consent. In aposton Reddit's popular "Am I the A------" forum, the 24-year-old woman wrote that she had been living with her "childhood best friend" for 3 years — and everything was fine up until recently. The woman prefaced the story by saying that her friend, 25, is "super into social media" and she "posts literally everything about her life online — what she eats, where she goes, who she hangs with, everything." The Redditor said she took a different approach to social media and was more private. Still, her roommate's social media usage didn't bother her until her friend started "posting tons of pics and videos of our apartment," without asking. She even said that mutual friends started commenting about how the woman's "book collection and some personal items [were] visible in the background" of the posts. So, the woman said that she asked her friend to stop — and thought they'd reached an agreement. Things calmed down for a while, but then the Redditor found a video that was particularly invasive.

"Yesterday, I was scrolling through TikTok and found she'd posted a 'day in our life' video showing my bedroom AGAIN, my medication on the counter (I have anxiety), and even me sleeping on the couch (I didn't know she filmed me)," the woman wrote. "I completely lost it. While she was at work, I changed our WiFi password, removed her devices from our account, and told her I wouldn't give her the new password until she deleted ALL videos with my personal stuff in them," the woman added. When her roommate came home she started "freaking out" and said it wasn't fair to "just cut her off from utilities we both pay for." Since then, the woman said that her friend has been staying at her mom's place — and "telling everyone" that the Redditor was "a psycho who's jealous of her social media success." "I don't think I'm asking for much - just basic privacy in my own home?," the woman wrote. "But maybe changing the WiFi password was too extreme? Our mutual friends are split - some think I'm justified, others think I went nuclear over something small." Several people sided with the woman in the comments section and agreed that she shouldn't be recorded without her consent. Some noted that it could be illegal to "record or video tape someone in their private property without their permission" depending on where they live, while another commenter wrote that the videos represented "a major security risk." "It's bad enough that she's got no filter on what information she puts online about herself when she and OP live in the same space, but she's majorly crossed a line by putting OP's space and things up for anyone to see," the commenter wrote. Added another, "Normally I'd say you're in the wrong for cutting her off from utilities she pays for, but she has massively and repeatedly crossed the line. I'd be looking for a new roommate."
