PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You've complained here non stop about your living arrangements, then complained when people have told you they're not unreasonable, and now you're complaining that people in this thread are being rude to you.
It seems as if you want the world and think you're entitled to it. Unfortunately that isn't how the world works. Beggars can't be choosers. I also live in a share home with shared showers and shared washing machines. I have to keep the noise down at night, I have to clean up after myself, the water is only lukewarm at times, and I can't use the washers every minute of the day (nor are they free). Instead of focussing on all these negative aspects of share house living, I choose to remember that I'm getting a roof over my head, I don't have to pay the bills, it's affordable and the landlord ALLOWS me to live here. If I didn't like it, it would be time to move, and if I couldn't afford to move, then I could either moan all day about things... earn more... or accept it and be far happier.
Your call. Life isn't that great when you walk around with a lemon in your mouth 24/7.1
