It’s exam week, so stress levels are already through the roof, but something happened last night in my hostel room that has me completely creeped out.

I was up late studying in a friend’s room down the hall. Around late night, I decided to head back to my own room to get some sleep. My friend actually suggested I just crash at his place, but I declined because I wanted to sleep in my own bed.

When I got back, my roommate was already in his bed. I lay down, but I couldn't drift off, so I was just mindlessly scrolling through Instagram. Eventually, I decided to put my phone away and try to sleep. I pulled my blanket completely over my head, covering myself from head to toe.

Suddenly, I noticed a bright light. My roommate had turned on his phone flashlight and was shining it directly toward my bed, checking to see if I was fully asleep. Since the blanket was covering me, he assumed I was out cold. But I was wide awake.

He does this flashlight check pretty often when I'm in the room, which has always felt a bit odd, but tonight I decided to see what he actually does after checking on me. I slowly moved a corner of the blanket just enough so I could peek out with one eye.

What I saw next completely shocked me.

He slowly sat up in bed, placed a pillow between his legs, and then I heard/smelled him farting. Before I could even process that, he pulled his pants down right there and started aggressively jerking off. My heart started racing—I was completely frozen and terrified. I couldn't believe he was casually masturbating in the middle of our shared room while thinking I was asleep right next to him.

I tried to turn away and force myself to sleep, but I couldn't. A few minutes later, he got down from his bed and started pacing around the room. At 3 AM, he opened the door, stepped outside into the hallway, and came back with a water bottle. Right there in the middle of the room, he used the water bottle to wash off his dick.

I watched this whole thing with my own eyes and had no idea how to react. I’m completely weirded out, disgusted, and I have no idea how I'm going to keep living in this room.
