While asking her neighbor for help at their apartment, the woman said she was wearing 'boy shorts and a tank top'A man is upset at his girlfriend for the outfit she had on when she asked her neighbor for help during an emergency while she was home alone.
The 26-year-old girlfriend chronicled the emergency, how her male neighbor came to the rescue and how her boyfriend reacted unfavorably to the situation on Reddit's popular 'Am I the A------' forum.
'My shower knob broke off while I was going to turn it on, and as this happened, water began spraying out of the knob and into the tub, but I had zero idea how to turn it off,' she wrote of the emergency.
'My landlord wasn't answering, and I just so happened to catch my neighbor from across the hall as he was coming home, and in my panic I asked him for help,' she recalled. 'He very quickly was able to stop the water from flowing by sticking a pair of pliers in the broken knob and turning something. So the day was saved!'
Her boyfriend, who has access to her front-door security camera, zoned in on the outfit she was wearing when she asked the neighbor for help.
'I was getting ready to shower, so I was wearing a pair of boy shorts and a tank top (nothing I'd even come close to wearing around others normally),' she said, adding that she was texting her boyfriend during the ordeal.
'He saw I was wearing essentially underwear while all of this happened,' she explained. 'My a-- was hanging out of my shorts because, well, they're underwear and had ridden up, which I almost immediately fixed.'
Her boyfriend is 'extremely upset' that she didn't put on more clothes before she sought out help from the male neighbor.
'In the moment I literally didn't think about it … the entire situation was just a shit show as I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off,' she wrote. 'I tried explaining all of this, but he's still upset at me.'
'I just don't feel sorry … I'm not apologizing because I feel like I don't need to,' she continued, adding that her boyfriend texted her that 'if you don't see anything wrong with any of that (referring to asking my neighbor for help) then I don't know what to tell you.'
Wondering if she's in the wrong, she asked Redditors, 'Am I the a------ for not getting properly dressed during an emergency?'
Many people questioned why her boyfriend has access to the camera, as it makes him seem 'controlling' since he doesn't live with her.
She addressed those Redditors' concerns, replying: 'He set up the ring camera for me, I had no idea what I was doing so that's why he has access to it, after reading everything on here I've since revoked it.'
