　　M：I went back home last night, you know, tired like a dog．So I took a quick shower and went to bed．But I couldn’t fall asleep because Brian was there in the living room, playing his stupid stereo so loud．And when I kindly told him to turn that down a little bit, he shouted at me． 　　W：What?He can’t do this to you． 　　M：Well, he did it anyway．Then he came into my room and shot all his shit．Blablabla．You know． 　　W：What did you do?
