...this practical cohabitation brings about a catalog of ethical puzzles. What is the proper protocol in such circumstances? Is it appropriate to ask your neighbors to turn down the music, or stop having loud sex against the wall? Do you complain, or do you put on your headphones, crank up your iTunes and sulk?

Phoning anyone before noon is considered rude because it may interrupt prime bedtime hours. We complain that 10 a.m. classes are too early. And many would gladly give up breakfast entirely in exchange for a late night snack fix. What’s ridiculous is that deep down we all know that this way of living is crazy.
