  Learn to embrace pettiness. Living in a share house, your mind will be preoccupied with trying to solve earth-shatteringly vital questions like 'why don't I ever get to sit in the best armchair?' Nobody prepares you for a share household! Watching 'Friends' doesn't really qualify. There's no research into the psyches of sharers or popular psychology books such as 'I'm from Venus, my housemate is from Mars'. In fact there has been a disturbing absence of collected wisdom on the subject. Until now. The experience of sharing a house is changing. It is often a more long-term prospect, occurring at different points in life. The Share House Survival Guide contains the unwritten wisdom that comes from the many years of experience of share household members. It is a humorous, informative and practical guide to living in share houses. The guide takes a humorous and fun approach to the subject (with interactive elements such as a housemate chart and quizzes) while aiming to address some of the more serious issues and dilemmas that come with the territory of sharing.
