AITA for throwing my houseguest's shaving glass out the window?

For context I (don't worry about my age M) have a solicitor (22 M) currently staying at my home for business purposes. For for the purpose of this post I will call my solicitor J.

J arrived a few days ago now and has been very well behaved staying in a small section of my home and being more then willing to answer any of my questions about the purchase and his fascinating home country (England).

This morning I went to visit him in his quarters to let him know breakfast was ready when I walked on him shaving. Now for personal medical reasons I will not discuss here have banned all mirrors and reflective objects from my home. It appeared through Johnathan brought his own mirror though. I accidentally startled him when I entered and he cut himself while shaving which set off my prior mentioned medical issues. This resulted in my lunching at him but I didn't actually touch him so it is no matter.

Now here is where I may be the asshole. Once I had collected my self I throw his mirror out the window and down a cliff face into the forest below. It was pure impulse. I played it off as taking revenge on it for making him cut him self and called it "a foul bauble of man's vanity". We moved on from the incident quickly but now J looks a bit uncomfortable around me.

I feel it should have been obvious from the lack of reflective surfaces in my home that mirrors are not allowed, but I technically never said it. I only told him not to go into locked rooms or fall asleep outside of his room. But who even brings a mirror with them when they travel? Anyway what do you all think, was I am asshole but tossing him mirror or just taking care of my self because of my medical issues?

I need people to stop writing shows based on real events because how am I supposed to explain to non-theatre people that three of the best musicals out there are a WWII comedy about deceiving the Nazis, a heart-warming tale of the day after 9/11, and a hip-hop story of the founding fathers??

i did this for a uh certain group of friends but i think it's brilliant

I can't find my post but anyways re what I said about how jean valjean's relationship with his own body is for the most part never really explicitly touched on but there's huge amounts to be extrapolated from it, I think it's really interesting how physical & related to the body the descriptions we see him give are when he's thinking about confessing & then confessing to marius at the end of the book. obviously there's the more literal one:

where the physical state of his leg proves that he was in the galleys and is sort of a physical manifestation of his status as a convict, but there's also, e.g.:

I just think it's really interesting that his feeling of his own taintedness is so physical that it's externalised into his body like this in his descriptions -- particularly when it comes to touching other people

I LOVE how Oli looks in this! Just look at his eyes!
