House-trouble

It's a Dutch saying that you would like to let your enemy live in your newly build home. A reference to the fact that most of these new houses have issues, like a leaking sink or wet walls from plastering. I too have a few issues, which aren't too bad, just annoying. For example the internet on my TV doesn't work (something to do with the connection, according to the building manager) and only two out of the four hot plates on my cooker work. It's been like this since I moved in 4 weeks ago, which is beginning to make me wonder when someone is going to come over to fix it. However, a much more annoying problem has surfaced today. Up until today, my next door neighbour hadn't moved in yet. Now what's that got to do with my house, you might think? Well, when I was cooking today I noticed that the hood in my kitchen kept turning off. I knocked on my neighbours door to find out if he had the same problem. It turns out: if I turn on my hood, I also turn on his! So he kept turning it off, because he thought it was spontaneously turning on. Which also shuts off my hood! Can you believe this?!
