SO, I have a little story today children.

Okay, so 3 roommates go out on a day trip. These roommates have 1 more roommate who stays home. Before they left, there were people who asked roommate 1 and roommate 3 if there could be a party at their house that night. Both responded no. They went on their merry way and had a great time.

They finally arrived home at about 1:30 am, very tired and ready to go to sleep. Roommate 3 walks in the door to find the very same people she told not to come over sitting in her living room. For a moment she feels helpless. Roommate 2 walks in behind her, and becomes upset as well - he doesn't like parties in his house either. Roommates 2 and 3 are often viewed as the "party poopers" in this household because they don't like parties at their house unless there is fair warning (fair warning would be a couple day's notice).

Roommates 2 and 3 ask the people to leave, because they had been asked not to come over. Roommate 4 intervenes and says they can stay because he had said it was "okay". Roommate 3 tells him that it's not okay, because they had gone behind her back and asked someone else if they could come over when she had told them "no", and that he should have asked everyone else in the house before saying it was "okay". Roommate 4 then tells her that "It's Saturday night, and they need somewhere to party and do drugs. It's cool, I told them it was fine. Life goes on for other people, you know." Roommate 3 replies that it doesn't always have to be in her house, and she wasn't cool with people randomly doing drugs at her house. Roommate 2 says that they should find somewhere else to go.

Roommate 4 takes everyone upstairs to his room, completely ignoring the wishes of Roommates 2 and 3. Roommate 1 finally comes in from outside. He tells Roommates 2 and 3 to "chill" and that "it's okay" (even though he had told these people there was no party). Roomates 2 and 3 protest that it's not okay, and this escalates into a shouting match between Roommates 1 and 2. When it gets to the point that they look like they're going to become physically violent, Roommate 3 steps between them and tells them to stop. Roommate 1 hits Roommate 3, but she blocks it. Roommate 3 gets upset and tells Roommate 1 never to hit a girl, or anyone for that matter, and Roommate 1 tells Roommate 3 to get out of the house.

To avoid any other conflict, Roommates 2 and 3 go to bed.

Is it wrong to want a little peace and quiet in your own home? Is it wrong to ask that your desicions be respected by other people? Is it wrong to be upset that people are randomly doing drugs in your house? Is it wrong to want a few days warning before a party?

Or does that just make you a "downer" to every one else's fun?
