Video scene · 0:20 · Communication, Collaboration

Through the floor

You share an apartment with your roommate, Luis.

It is 10 p.m. on a weeknight, and you and Luis have friends over. Your downstairs neighbor, Mrs. Okafor, knocks on your door holding her baby.

What's said in the scene

Mrs. Okafor: This is the fourth night this week. The music, the footsteps. I have a two-month-old who won't sleep.

Luis: It's not even that late. We're allowed to have people over. We pay rent too.

Mrs. Okafor: (looking at you) I don't want to call the landlord. Can we work something out?

The two questions

  1. 1How would you respond to Mrs. Okafor, and to Luis?
  2. 2How do you respond when someone tells you that you are the problem?
