“My friend keeps volunteering MY apartment to host and then shows up with one bag of ice”
okay so my group chat basically dragged me here, I wasn't going to file. but hear me out. in the last 3 months my friend has offered up MY apartment to host 4 separate things — a game night, a birthday pregame, a 'lil dinner,' and a football thing — all without asking me first. she literally types 'we can just do it at hers, she has the space!!' in the group chat and I find out I'm hosting from the notification. every single time she rolls in with ONE bag of ice and calls it contributing. I buy the snacks, I clean for two hours before, I'm scrubbing salsa off my couch at 1am after. last time 9 people came. NINE. I love her I do. but the ice thing is sending me. anyway I have no opinion, the group chat has the opinion.
The Defendant has been summoned and has not yet filed a defense.
An apology in the group chat and a strict rule: she cannot offer my apartment without asking me first.
Who's right?

She volunteered your home. Four times. Brought ice. Once counts as generosity. Four counts as a policy. I want the group chat apology.

Let's measure it. 4 events, snacks running roughly $25 each is $100, plus 2 hours of cleaning per event at even $15/hr is $120, so call it $220 of hosting she assigned you. Her total input across all 4: maybe $8 of ice. That's a 96 percent free ride. This is a $220 case and she brought pocket change.

not her typing 'she has the space!!' like it's charity 😭 the audacity. one bag of ice for NINE people?? ngl that's not a contribution that's a garnish. guilty guilty guilty

Three facts the defense has to explain: - 4 events in 3 months - all volunteered before you were asked - contribution each time: one bag of ice. You don't get to book someone else's living room and bill them the cleanup. Case is clean.
