Nataly 38 #1 December 23, 2010 I know the answers are somewhat limited, but there is the option to expand with "other" I was just thinking about my recent move to France.. I ended up having to go back to London for over a month and because I gave up my apartment, I stayed at a friend's... It made me really nervous to stay at her place because she's my best friend and the thought had occurred to me that it might sour the relationship. To my great relief, however, we've become so much closer as a result and I'm really glad to have spent this time getting to know her better Curious about other people's experience about this or maybe even just travelling with a friend...

Like the time I came home baked and left the fridge door open all night and ruined everyone's food. We called it Dean's Home for Wayward Skydivers and at any given time there were 3-4 different folks livng there.Please don't dent the planet.

Nataly 38 #4 December 23, 2010 Quote Should've allowed multiple answers Oops!! That makes sense now I think about it!! ETA: I *did* put "other," so I guess if more than one applies you can select that "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #5 December 23, 2010 Are we talkin' 'bout with or without benefits? All but 1 experience was, let's say, less-than-ideal. None involved benefits.

Skootz 0 #6 December 23, 2010 I currently live with 5 skydivers (we call the house the Skydiver Pound). I couldn't imagine it any other way. We've all lived together for about 1.5 years now....and it's pretty darn good. There are some frustrations every now and then, but nothing huge.

We only have one bathroom......with that many people sharing it there is no room for mess. It seriously has never been an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #12 December 23, 2010 QuoteSo...who is it that gets stuck cleaning up behind the others? Most of my roommate situations have been with one or two other people. The biggest house I lived in (just after college) had 5 women total. The best decision we made was to pay for a cleaning service every 2 weeks. We rotated through who had responsibility for prepping the house for the cleaning service (basically making sure there weren't dishes on the counter or in the sink so that they could actually clean our kitchen) and paying. So basically, every 10 weeks each of us had to cough up $65 and do a very minor amount of housework and there was peace in the land. Granted, we still had to keep things functional in the interim by washing our own dishes or at least loading the dishwasher, but not having to argue over who would do the serious cleaning really made a huge difference."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
