Roommate’s Freeloading ‘Friend’ Sparks Tension: Who’s the Real A**hole?

Living with roommates can be a blast, but what happens when an unwelcome guest overstays their welcome? A 25-year-old woman shares a 2-bedroom apartment with her high school friend, and everything was smooth sailing until a certain ‘friend’ entered the picture. This guy, Mike, has become a permanent fixture in their apartment, eating her food, being loud, and disrupting her work-from-home life. When she finally confronts her roommate about the issue, things take a dramatic turn.
