Different timezones

When you are sharing a house with someone, it can work in your favour when you are keeping separate schedules. Your home and they aren't, and vice versa. But sometimes that can be the downfall of a harmonious home...


Rachel from North london writes...."I lost a great friend due to us having different working hours. I worked hard normal hours, while they worked long hours and shifts. I liked to go out, while they never went out as they worked most of the time. My friend got upset because of the noise i made and was not happy when i brought friends round. We ended up moving out and i've not heard from them now for 2 years. We had been friends for 10 years, so it was very disappointing"

I hear ya Rachel. I once lived with a guy who thought it was more than ok to have an impromptu party at 3am on a Wednesday night (or any night for that matter) and it used to drive me crazy. He'd get upset when I'd come out and ask him to kick his friends out and turn the music down. Invariably the neighbours would complain or ring the cops but he still couldn't understand what the fuss was about. Loser!
