"Living rooms are common places"
Yes, everyone knows this here in US.
It took sometime for me to get used to suddenly meet somebody I don't know in the living room, because room sharing is not really common in Japan (In other East Asian countries too? Im not sure.). Still if this is the way it is here in US, I will take it a good idea.
In a situation that people meet somebody they don't know in the living room, some people easily get scared like one of my room mates (Room mate A, he is also from Asia). When another roommate (roommates B, he is born and raised in US and also my friend)'s friends are in living room and met each other, roommate A went mad and called to the owner, like "Who the hell he is???" Room mate B was disappointed to his reaction, because he felt his friend was discriminated. Though there were actually another factors for he made phonecall to the owner, this situation made me a little tired to handle. What do you think about this kind of situation?

Let me move in with you, Snow. I'll chase these men out of your life for good...oh, I forgot...one of'em is actually your friend--that A guy. Oh, B is your friend, too? Ok, then, I think I know what is happening. They are both in love with you. That's what it's all about. Don't you see it, Snow? "A" guy is jealous of the "B" guy. Believe me, A guy would have acted differently to a female stranger--he would have been less scared--cultural shock would have not been an issue here, for sure.
Actually, they were not in love at all.
I know this is US, but they could act more flexible when somebody did something different from usual, like ask more about situations, or anything..
