宿舍生活是什么樣的,是否你也有吐槽過自己的室友讓你難以忍受呢?
CC Cat was complaining about her new roomie with Buluo Tiger.
CC: I try to put up with Zhazha Rabbit, but I’ve had enough!
Tiger: You need to chill, what did she do?
CC: I am very self-disciplined and always try to keep our room clean but she is too lazy and all talk.
Tiger: It seems that you have a bone to pick with her.
CC: I have pulled my weight in being a nice roomie, every time when she forgot to flush the toilet or clean the seat, I did it for her. And I kindly remind her of that, but to my surprise, she made biting remarks and cried with a hurt look. Seems that I am the bully in the dormitory.
Tiger: Do you need me to talk with her. May be you need a fresh pair of eyes.
CC: No, just stay out of the mess, she needs to act her age, not her shoe size. Talking with her is like hitting my head against a wall. That’s the last straw. I can’t take it anymore. I’ll move out then.
