Yup, it's another roommate story from me. My house is dramatic. Throwaway because my roommates know my Reddit account.

I live in a shared house with five other roommates off-campus at my university. I lived with one of these roommates last year and we got along well, but the other four are completely new.

A few nights ago, I came home from the library and two of my roommates were sitting on the couch. I had earbuds in, but I took them off and she asked me to hand her a box of girl scout cookies sitting on the table. I gave her the box of cookies and she ate one cookie. She asked me if she could have another and my response was "yeah sure, they're not mine though."

Unbeknownst to all of us, those cookies were actually my roommate's Girl Scout cookies. In our roommate group chat, she then called me out for telling her the cookies were mine even though they weren't. I legitimately have no recollection of being asked if the cookies were mine or not until after she ate one (maybe the question was asked while I had earbuds in when I initially walked in the door and I went "huh?"), but they her and the other roommate that was there both got mad at me for saying the cookies were mine.

I responded in the roommate group chat with "literally fake news" and huffed upstairs after they continued to accuse me of letting her steal my roommate's cookies. Am I the asshole for not stopping her from eating a cookie and for calling her "fake news" in the group chat? Or is she just overreacting and am I in the clear?
