I know, I think of the bizzare-est things at times, but I was reading a fic this morning while walking (let's not go there shall we) and the phrase, "It's sown the hall, the first door on the right." just reached out and grabbed me.
The house we currently live in has a hallway and the bathroom is the first door on the right.
In the first home I remember, it was down a hallway first door on the right.
In the next house, it wasn't down the hallway, but you had to walk through most of the house to get to it and it was on the right.
In the last place my folks moved to it is down the hall, second door on the right (my old room is the first door and even when we tell people it is the second door, they often try the first door first
)
In Elisabeth's old home, it was up the stairs and to the right. First door again. (Their current house does not follow the pattern.)
So I was wondering, just how prevalent is this or is it a relic of the past and newer homes(after the 70s) don't do this anymore?
