I heard a new term on Facebook today. One of my 'friends' (aka someone I have never met in real life but is a friend of someone I went to school with but don't really rmemeber very well) just moved house and was complaining about the toilets. She said that if she ever bought a 'used house' again she would make them replace the toilets because using someone else's toilet is disgusting.
First off, this made me laugh. I mean, a 'used house'? As if a house isn't a permanent structure to be lived in by different people and families through the years. What's the alternative? Everyone building new houses? What happens when someone wants or needs to move? Or dies? Does the used house just remain empty or does it get torn down so someone else can build yet another house on the spot? It's like disposable housing. Scary but a weird possibility with the disposable society that we're becoming.

I think we find this funny/strange/odd because we live in a society where it's actually more unusual to move into a new build...
have you been to TX lately? Nothing but new McMansions everywhere. scary.
