AITA my roommate keeps selling crack

Okay, last night I was out buying groceries with my roommate. As we were entering our apartment building some girl comes up to us, I think she was homeless or something, and starts chatting me up for a lighter. I give her a light and she asks us if we sell crack. Right before I could say no, my roommate opens his fucking jacket, revealing crack in prepackaged bags ready to sell. I am naturally pissed off about this because not only is crack and ILLEGAL substance, but he also told me MONTHS ago that he would stop dealing it. I basically screamed and him, I told him that he would have to start paying rent, really chewed him out, but then he says that I’M the hater for not "supporting small businesses". Maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding, I told him that he needs to start making money and he’s honestly not very bright, I don’t think he graduated high school. Do you guys think that I should have been more gentle with him or do you think that the outrage was justified?

  1. YTA to yourself if you don’t break the lease ASAP or kick him out if you can.

    It’s not just the risks of police breaking the door down and you being complicit because you’re ‘allowing’ him to deal, it’s the risk of all his ‘clients’ coming by and hanging around.

  2. Is there some part of you that fails to recognize that: A) your roommate is a drug dealer & a stupid one at that B) stupid criminals tend to get caught, and C) if he gets busted in his (your) home, you will go down with him. Not sure if that makes YTA, but tolerating this is NOT supporting small business.

  3. Not sure why he isn’t paying rent, but if you make him start it will be harder to kick him out. If you’re so outraged, why would you want him to stay? YTA if you let this situation continue.

  4. For god sake. He’s not paying rent and he’s dealing drugs? Why is he still your room mate? YTA to yourself for sticking with this dude.
