Anonymous Bathroom Rejection

>First time living alone, have a few roommates >They all know each other, I don't know any of them, so I just quietly keep the apartment clean and hide in my room >One of them knocks on my door twenty minutes ago >"Hey, you're anon, right? Mind if I use your bathroom man?" >"Oh, uhh sure" >Walks through my room to my bathroom door >Opens bathroom door >Doesn't go in, closes bathroom door >Turns around, looks at my desk >"Nice computer monitor anon" >"T-thanks" >"Anyways, see you around" >Leaves WHY DID HE DO IT HE WAS FUCKING WITH ME, RIGHT? MY BATHROOM IS NORMAL. IT DIDN'T SMELL BAD, IT'S FUCKING SPOTLESS, THERE'S NO REASON FOR HIM TO DECIDE NOT TO USE IT WHY THE FUCK DID HE DO IT I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT

A lonely new roommate hides in his room and nervously allows another roommate to use the bathroom. The roommate opens the door, comments on the computer monitor instead, and leaves without using it, causing the narrator to spiral into paranoid confusion. The joke comes from treating an ordinary social interaction as an inexplicable psychological attack, paired with a crying Pepe image and exaggerated anxiety.
