I came home from the bars and slept it off in our bathroom. Now my roommates are mad at me. Ooopps?

I had a rough evening. I came to our apartment and went straight to the bathroom. My roommates were in the living room but I knew there wasn't any point on trying to carry on an intelligent conversation with them. I wasn't too bad though. I walked to the right apartment and got here on my own power. I didn't fall down or anything, I woke up early and made sure the bathroom was spotless before going to my bed. But this morning the roommates are pissed! We have two bathrooms in our apartment. It's just this one was connected to my one roommate's and my room.I could see why my actual roommate was annoyed since all her stuff was in the bathroom. There's four girls here total. It's not like I was stupid about it: I'm 21, I was with a group of friends for one of their birthdays, one of the people I was with was my brother and he had to work early today so he was hardly drinking. He made sure I got home safely and kept an eye on me the entire evening. What should I do about the roommates? I already apologized and they just glared at me. None of them are 21 except me so this bar scene hasn't happened to them. I came home from the bars and slept it off in our bathroom. Now my roommates are mad at me. Ooopps?
uuuh, you were responsible! and you got a ride home....they aren't ur mom. you're older than them....they need to grow up.
Your last line is your answer. Plus it looks sloppy, and who wants their stuff in a bathroom a roommate is gonna come to late and night and throw up in.I came home from the bars and slept it off in our bathroom. Now my roommates are mad at me. Ooopps?
maybe he need to go pee so badly after been drinking but found you in the bathroom ?
Well MAYBE they think you should have enough respect to not come in a nasty drunk slob. I would be pissed if I had to put up with that crap, you would be out of my apt. for sure.I came home from the bars and slept it off in our bathroom. Now my roommates are mad at me. Ooopps?
A good apology has three elements:

- stating regret that the offense has occurred

- either un-doing the harm done if possible, or a serious token intended to offset the harm, and

- a commitment that the offense will not re-occur. The proof if that is that it NEVER happens again.



Just throwing some regretful words your roommates' way doesn't matter a fried fig. "Words are cheap".



Your bathroom may have looked spotless to you, but I know the kind of "spotless" hat comes from someone half-cut and hungover. I'm certain it certainly didn't smell clean. Most people dislike the smell of alcohol-based vomit.



You say you weren't "too bad though": you "walked to the right apartmen"t and didn't "fall down or anything." Yeah, sure. You didn't pass out into an alcoholic stupor on the bathroom floor: you just decided that that was a good time and place to take a bit of a snooze.



Although you say "it's not like [you] were stupid about it." Yeah, sure. Your behaviour was that of an Eagle Scout member of Mensa.



Brother or no brother, "stupid" is the kindest word I can think of to describe your behaviour. Do you think your brother was *** proud *** to be seen with you??



Now that you're "mature" enough to visit bars, try visiting one sober, at losing time. Watch the other young women, who aren't "too bad though."



If I had a bathroom adjoining my bedroom, but I couldn't use it, or even get at my things there, because the bathroom was occupied by a slobbering drunk, puke and all, I would hardly be happy. Would you?



A person doesn't have to have "this bar scene [happen] to them" to recognize ****-faced idiocy.



This kind of stuff sure makes for a great beginning to your roommates' happy Sunday, don't you think?
