I shared a duplex with a young lady in 1983-85. One day I couldn't find my face washer which I kept in the bathroom.She also kept her face washer in the bathroom.On enquiring of my flatmate she told me she had washed it. I was puzzled but said: "that was nice of you". Got back into the bathroom and noticed the bath tub/basin had been cleaned. And then the penny dropped. Bitch had used my face washer as a rag, not hers.
I feel quite confident in saying I doubt there's ever been a share house where everyone was reasonably happy with each other. In short share-houses don't work because we are all different and like doing things our way and most of us, you and I being exceptions, are pigs. Couples sharing houses works better than strangers in share houses because we tend to be more tolerant of our partners.
