AITA because I don't like being told to do things that I already plan on doing. I have a graduation extension on my lease so I move out a few days after my roommate. She texted me today saying that if I make a mess to please clean it up. Idk it irks me---

NTA. some people are built like that to say annoying shit to get under your skin. her mom was a dagger so it's natural that she wants to follow in her footsteps

Because why wouldn't I clean up after myself? This hasn't been an issue all year. Infact it's my roommate who doesn't clean up her shit. She left oil all over the stove top and I ended up having to clean it! So idk I feel like I'm being too negative but I just hate when I'm told to do something that I'm obviously going to do.

I'm not disagreeing or anything but why are we making assumptions about her mom who wasn't even mentioned?

You’re definitely nta. The same thing happens with me. Personally it’s cuz I hate people thinking that im doing something simply cuz they told me to or that im acting on command instead of my own volition. Like id rather have more autonomy and feel like im more in control and that others trust me to take care of my shit for once. Yk? Like the satisfaction of doing something gets stolen after someone tells me to do things.

Yeah I get that. After sitting with this a few days, I think it depends on who's telling me to do what. Like my mentor once made a suggestion that I was already planning to do and I didn't feel as mad as I did when my roommate asked me to take out the trash after work even though I knew I'd have to do it when I got home. It wasn't full in the morning when I left but knowing her, I knew I'd be taking it out later and of course I get the "Hey girlie, the trash is really full plz take it out" text
