Granted. The combination of padded walls, padded floors and the earplugs you persuade your housemates to use mean that they can't hear a thing you're doing.

Unfortunately, they can't hear themselves, either. They yell at each other to be understood. They also turn up their music so loud that it blows out their speakers... but not before all the neighbours call the police, reporting your household for noise offences.

Pretty hard to check email in the slammer, isn't it?


I wish... I wish I didn't get so stressed about things.
