Square Footage

We live in a small apartment and it ain't bad, not bad at all. In fact, it's nice for me because I don't like to be alone, and with a small apartment, you always feel like you're part of the action, whether you're playing a game or doing the laundry. With that disclaimer, I give you, "you know you live in a small apartment when...":
  1. Your bathroom is smaller than the largest stall at work.
  2. Your head touches the air vent (which serves as the ceiling in the kitchen) if you stand on your tippy toes.
  3. You are never outside of conversational tone earshot.
  4. You open your fouton and the extra floor space is cut in half.
  5. Your box spring will fit inside the doorway but can't clear the turns in the hallway.
Have you experienced any of these or other indicators that you're living in a small apartment?

Vistors come over and you can't get out of the shower until they leave.

or if having a few fish in a fishbowl makes the place feel crowded. "Hey you, fish! Keep it down over there!"

very funny comment, jo!
I relate to the smallness is better when you might be alone in a home on occasion. The low ceilings might get to me though!

When you cut up vegetables on a cutting board, and you don't have any more counter space.

when you can see the one clock in the whole place from every room in the whole place (Yacht Harbor, Stateroom 2).
