Me empresta rapidinho?
Three flatmates in Barra, Salvador, swap favours in their WhatsApp group full of internetês: Léo lends Júlia his phone charger, offers to receive Nanda's parcel and leaves the spare key with the doorman. Then Júlia writes a polite message to the landlord, Seu Jorge, asking whether he could send someone to fix the shower, which hasn't heated up for three days.
