I wouldn't judge. We always need to remind ourselves that many people buy $0.99 burgers not because they like them that much but because that's the only food they can afford.
Many many years ago, as a single young engineer, for almost one full year I lived in a 4-bdrm trailer in a mobile home park sharing it with two university student renters and the older couple as a Landlord. $200/month. One bathroom for all. One of the roommates was a girl who loved long baths in the morning (think of REALLY having to take a leak)
. Obviously, it wasn't an ideal accommodation, but it wasn't unbearable or daunting. We all had to clean up after ourselves and share the common kitchen, fridge and TV room. Interestingly, we did not become friends but were always friendly and polite to each other. Other than "Sue, could you please get out of the bathroom now, I really mean it!", not a single serious conflict. Co-habitation MUST be respectful of others; otherwise it can become hell.
