Picture this: you’re living in a shared flat with seven other people, and it’s hot. Really hot. You and the other girls in the flat are wearing tank tops and shorts to stay cool, but one person has a problem with it. Meet M, the girlfriend of one of the boys in the flat. She has an issue with one girl’s choice of clothing and keeps asking her to cover up. Our protagonist, tired of the requests, finally says no. But is she in the wrong? Let’s dive into this heated situation

Our tank top-wearing protagonist finally had enough of M’s requests and decided to stand her ground. She explained to M that she lives in the flat and should be able to wear what she wants. M ended up in tears, and her boyfriend, after hearing the whole story, decided it was time to break up. It seems like our protagonist can now wear her tank tops in peace in the kitchen. But what do you think of this whole situation? Let’s see what people have to say about it…
