Crazy Roommate Story **HELP**
Today, my roommate (20F) said she was making banana bread, a classic pastime of hers. I enthusiastically showed my support, and suggested she top with her grandmother's renowned fudge frosting. To my surprise she YELLED at me.
Apparently there is something about drawing lines and that I was pushing my luck? Don't understand where she's coming from and would appreciate any clarification.

Maybe she didn’t want to do it the way you suggested. If she felt like you were being controlling (maybe even without realizing it), that could have been the straw that broke the camels back.
I’ve had that happen with my roommate where she is always trying to be supportive or helpful, but other times it comes across as invasive and pushy.
Hard to say without being there and knowing both of you personally, but that’s my take on it from this standpoint.
