Everyone should have a say in a shared living space.
Dave lives in an apartment with roommates, and they're all discussing what color the walls should be when one of the roommates asks Dave what he thinks.
Dave wants to respond to the roommate's request.
Dave tells everyone he prefers Black but that if the others outvote him he won't make a fuss about it.
Dave tells the roommate that he wants Black walls which he knows one of the roommates doesn't like, but that he doesn't care about their opinon.
The roommates are happy that Dave is being flexible with his color choice.
The roommates are all shocked that Dave is so callous and the roommate who hates black in particular feels disrespected.
