A man has recalled how he discovered that his roommate had been secretly sleeping under his bed for 'three or four months.'
The unnamed man, 24, took to Reddit to detail the terrifying moment he found his roommate - whom he referred to as Karl - snoozing in his room in the middle of the night.
In a thread titled, Am I The A**hole, he questioned if he was in the wrong for becoming furious when he found out that his bedroom had turned into his roommate's sleeping area.
He revealed that Karl, 24, - who he has been living with for two years - had been sleeping underneath his bed so that the pair could 'physically saturate each other.'

The man begged people on the web as he admitted that he feels like he is 'losing his mind.'
The post was titled: 'Am I the a**hole for being angry that my roommate was sleeping under my bed for months without telling me?'
He explained: 'A few months into rooming with him he told me he was a pansexual. I said ok, cool. I am not interested in that personal information, nor am I judgmental. I said alright.
'A few times over the last year he has asked me if I had ever considered "experimenting" with other men. I said nope. Also I said I didn't feel comfortable with him asking me such a personal question.
'Anyways, last night I had a horrifying experience. I heard a noise under my bed. It was movement. At first I thought I was imagining things. But then I heard it again. I thought, "oh god, is it a mouse or a rat or some s**t? My god." This was like 3:00 AM. So I got out of bed and looked under with my phone flashlight.
'Now this here was the most startling moment of my life. I guess I am lucky because I have never before this moment felt true terror and fear as a physical sensation, but I was completely jolted.
'There, under my bed, was my roommate staring wide eyed at me, and he SCREECHED when I looked under the bed.'
The 24-year-old revealed that he was absolutely stunned to see his roommate underneath his bed and admitted that he was terrified.

'I literally thought I was having a heart attack. I then just started hearing "sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry", my roommate crawled out from under the bed crying apologizing over and over.
'I was so creeped out and afraid that I ran out of the apartment in my pajamas.
'There was a Dunkin' that was open 24/7 a few blocks away so I just sat in there with a decaf and a breakfast sandwich with my heart thundering away. My roommate kept texting me asking to talk. I ignored it,' he added.
The unnamed man further revealed that Karl had somehow scared him even more by continuously texting him odd explanations for his sleeping habit.
He added: 'In the texts he found a way to horrify me even further. He confessed he had been sleeping under my bed a few nights a week for "three or four months" and that he was doing it to get closer to me and "psychically saturate each other". The f**k???
'I waited for him to go to work and I ran into the apartment, got my essentials, and left. I am currently crashing with a buddy. Our lease is up in one month, my intention is simply to not renew.
'This dude is blowing up my phone. And I am getting texts from other people, some friends of mine and some bozos who are friends with him. He is going around telling people I shamed him and that I am rejecting his apologies.'
At the end of the post, he admitted that he was questioning his reaction after a slew of people began messaging him and accused him of hurting his roommate's feelings.
Social media users flooded the comments section and ran to the man's defense
The man wrote: 'Some people are claiming I am overreacting and invalidating his feelings. Most people agree he was improper but think I should work it out with him and give a second chance because he's "sensitive".
'I feel like I am losing my mind and I am seriously 20 percent convinced I am experiencing a long lucid dream of some sort and wondering if I am going to wake up or I am in a coma or something because this s**t is so insane to me. Like not really, but maybe really...I mean what the f**k???
'So am I the a**hole or is everyone around me a f***ing nut?'
Social media users flooded the comments section and ran to the man's defense.
One person said: 'Everyone around you is a nut. His behavior is criminal stalking. Not the a**hole.'
Another user added: 'Not the a**hole. He's a nut job who disrespected your privacy. I'm glad you have a buddy to stay with.'
'Not the a**hole, that is terrifying,' one person said.
