This year, she finds out they've switched to the new edition. She then has the audacity to ask me for a refund. She says maybe I can recover some money selling it online. She says something along the lines of how she's a poor student, and will have too buy a new book on top of what she paid me last year. Then she tacks it on the monthly utility bill and gives me the books, a month later.
In an ideal world, she would have the wherewithal to sell it herself and recover costs that way. What the fuck else am I supposed to do? Of course I had to give her a refund. I have to live with her!

She, though your roommate, is slightly gauche. You, though her roommate, have overlooked her cheesy behaviour and done a gallant thing by refunding her (your) money. Well done. Grace under pressure.
