What are you TALKING about? Most people are very cool and considerate and get along just fine. Every once in a while I get a housemate that violates one or both of the rules of shared living:

1. Pay the rent and utilities on time.
2. Respect your fellow housemate and their property.

Most people agree completely bit every once in a while...That second rule because it' so vague but I had a housemate playing power trips with his share of the utilities, not like he didn't have it even. :-(

Drama sucks! Students are here for school, that's priority #1. And people's work schedules.
