“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.
An apology in the group chat and a strict rule: she cannot offer my apartment without asking me first.

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.

Since June when this started, this is the fourth occurrence of the same behavior. Note that volunteering someone else's space without consent is a repeat offense at this point, not a one-time miscalculation. The ice bag detail matters because it shows she's not even attempting to contribute meaningfully after creating the obligation. That's the pattern here.
THE RECORD IS CLOSED.
