You Are Stupid

Things are a little tense as everyone tries to scramble for a new seasonal job at the end of this season. Living in the same room and working with the same people is cramped, difficult.  The other day my roommate was sitting down on a beer keg and smoking behind the counter at work.  She’s had something that sounds like bronchitis for the entire season, but she’s decided to smoke right through it.  I was pouring drinks. I said,”I don’t get sick that often,” and she said in English, “We say ‘You are stupid.'” I said, “What?” It seemed a little harsh even for our normal banter, and then she said, “We say that. We say, ‘You are stupid.'”
