Get It Off Your Chest: “My Girlfriend Burned a Hole in My Family’s Carpet!”

On today’s Get It Off Your Chest, one listener is in full panic mode after his girlfriend accidentally caused serious damage in his family-owned home. Mark says his girlfriend dropped a hot hair curler onto the bedroom carpet not once, not twice, but five times, leaving behind a burnt crater that's impossible to miss. While she insists it's "not that bad" and that his family won't care, Mark knows better—especially when his family still talks about minor damage from years ago. Now he's torn between being annoyed at how casually she's treating it and figuring out how to explain the damage before he's disowned. The gang debate responsibility, relationship etiquette and whether Mark is overreacting or completely justified.
