A、The man does all the washing for everyone in the apartment. B、All the people in the apartment take turns to do all the washing

M: You look tired. What have you been doing?
W: Looking for an apartment.
M: No luck?
W: Actually, I found a few, but I want to be sure I found the right place.
M: There is an empty apartment in my building.
W: Oh, yeah, what is it like?
M: Quite usual, I guess, nothing fancy, but it’s in good condition, a good size, and not too expensive.
W: Sounds good so far. What about the neighbors?
M: They are great
W: Oh, yeah?
M: Sure. For example, we all take turns in the laundry room. Monday is my day to wash clothes.
W: So there is only one washer and drier?
M: And we all pull together to keep it in good condition. My next door neighbor paid for the paint I used to paint our apartments.
W: You call that pulling together? You did all the work.
M: And there is a real give-and-take in the building. Everyone helps everyone else. Just last week my neighbor collected enough money to buy a new lawn mower. So it’ll be easier for me to cut the grass.
W: Sounds to me like that you do all the giving and they do all the taking.
M: Oh, no! They’re always helping me out. When I was sick last month, they let me wait and still wait to cut the grass.
W: How kind of them!
M: What’s wrong? You don’t seem impressed.
W: I guess we don’t see eye to eye to the condition of good neighbors. You’re not lucky to live there.
M: Well, talk to Tom. He used to be my roommate, he can back me up. He’ll tell you how nice it is to live there.
W: If it is so nice, why did he leave? M: It was his fault that he had to leave.
W: He had to leave?
M: Well, he promised to help with the work, like everyone else, but he didn’t keep his word. He just stopped helping.
