Meg's tales of flatmate (roommate) hell are right on the money. Check out story #1 if you have problems splitting up the bills and story #2 if you have that chair everyone wants to sit in. I am glad to say that I never have had any major problems with people I live with. The biggest fights in the past had to mostly do with dishes and no one really said anything. Instead there was a cold war fuelled by notes and pictures of ants.
