my three billboards

After reading the whole story, and then looking back at the cause of the whole incident at the beginning-three billboards, I thought of an incident of myself more than half a year ago.

I have a roommate who loves to play games so much that he never goes to class or even exams, and lives in the room opposite me. He can really sit at the table playing games all day and eating upstairs takeout all day, even when we take our lunch break at noon. I have communicated with him many times before, and within a few days after the communication, at 12:00 noon after class, when we had dinner and went to bed in the dormitory, he would consciously turn off the game and go to bed to play with his mobile phone, and he would go to bed early in the evening to play with his mobile phone, but there was always a problem. One day he will be unable to hold on and ignore it. I also let him go, so as not to ruin the "harmonious" environment of the dormitory. Until the second semester of my junior year at the beginning of 2017, I should prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and he is still the same. At noon one day when he started to communicate again a few days ago, the communication failed when he tapped the keyboard and smashed the mouse. I got out of bed and unplugged the network cable. He walked over and plugged it in and continued to play. In desperation, I took a picture of him playing a game and sent it to QQ space with the text "Dogs can't change to eat shit" and Aite called our counselor. (I communicated with the guide a long time ago about this matter, but the guide suggested that we solve it internally. About half a month before noon on this day, when the solution failed, he said that he would consider a solution. message) I received a call from the counselor about an hour after the news was sent out. The final solution was to have that classmate switch beds with a classmate in the next dormitory.

It's very similar to the story in the movie...
