But aside from that, when it comes to “dumb,” here are the possibilities as I see them:

a) The OP’s D’s roommate was misrepresenting herself, in order to seem more sophisticated, or anti-establishment. (Is anyone still anti-establishment?)
Rating: Not necessarily dumb. [Edit: but as I think about it longer, still kind of dumb, really]

b) The OP’s D’s roommate was misrepresenting herself, with the knowledge that the OP would read the email and be shocked.
OP’s D: Hey, my parent reads my email. Do you know of any remedy for that?
OP’s D’s roommate: Sure. Leave it to me.
Rating: Pretty clever, actually.

c) The OP’s D’s roommate was representing herself accurately, to someone she barely knows.
OP’s D: Oh, that’s interesting. My dad is the District Attorney/Chief of Police/Head of Narcotics Squad/etc. for our area.
Rating: well, this one seems pretty dumb on the part of the roommate.
