Living with roommates can be challenging, especially when it comes to sharing food. One young man (23M) found himself in a moral dilemma when his diabetic roommate, Simon, experienced a hypoglycemic episode after he refused to share his dinner. The protagonist, tired of his roommates constantly helping themselves to his food, decided to eat in his room, unknowingly leaving Simon without a meal. The situation escalated, leading to arguments among the roommates and a hospital visit.

The Blame Game: Who’s Really at Fault?
With tensions running high, the protagonist finds himself facing accusations from his roommates, who claim he’s responsible for Simon’s hypoglycemic episode. They argue that he should have shared his food, knowing Simon’s diabetic condition. The protagonist, however, insists he wasn’t obligated to pay for others’ meals and that he had already asked if Simon wanted to order food. As the blame game continues, one question remains: who’s really at fault in this situation? Let’s see what the internet thinks…
