Having been living the life of the bachelor for
a number of years, I have been lucky to experience all the joys of the
bachelor life and it has been great. I can watch what I like on the
television without having any arguments, take a bath or shower without
finding out that there is no hot water because it has been used already.
I am in control of my home and my environment and very nice it is too.
Well it is very good most of the time; however, there are certain times,
when living alone is not so great and these are what I am going to look
at in this article.
Researchers
are always warning us that for the most part, accidents seem to happen
in the home, so by living on your own, there is a risk that having an
accident means that you are left to deal with it by yourself. Not
only that but there are certain situations where being alone is not
conducive to a happy and contented life and it is these things that can
cause problems for any one living on their own.
The
first problem is one that in all likelihood has affected everyone who
either lives alone or has been left at home alone, at some point in
their lives. Namely, being in the bath or shower when the doorbell
rings, this is something that seems to happen on a regular basis and
results in the dreaded dash for the towel in the hope of making it to
the front before who ever it is, leaves. More often than not this
scenario arises when you are expecting a delivery and typically if you
do make it in time it often transpires that the person at the door is
someone trying to sell you something.
Next
up is moving furniture. This is something that needs to be undertaken
by at least two people, especially if the item being moved is large,
bulky or just plain heavy. This leaves you with the dilemma of trying to
sweet talk somebody into helping you, be it friends, family or
neighbors.
One
of the most annoying problems is getting yourself locked out of your
own home. If you have a neighbor who also lives alone who you can trust
then may be it will be a good idea to swap spare keys in case this
situation arises.
