Net Curtains

Please tell me that Halls of Residences don't have net curtains up. Is it true? I honestly don't want to live somewhere with net curtains up.

why on earth does would that make a difference to where you want to live? Yes, I did have net curtains in my room which I thought was sensible seen as my room looked on to the street. However, they were easy to move to the side. Why os ot such an issue though?

Obviously this is an important issue when choosing one's accommodation, along with, of course, the circumference of the bin, the height of the hinges on the door, and whether the radiator knob turns clockwise or anti-clockwise.

I mean, who cares about researching walking distance to lectures, availability of laundry facilities and rental price, it's the net curtains you gotta worry about.

Rooms on the ground floor do. I am sure you will apprechiate them when it makes it more difficult for people to see you in your room as they walk past your window.

If you have them and don't want them, take them down! (so long as you put them back up when you leave, of course.)

^o) Are you serious?

Unless the net curtains have suddenly grown fangs, red eyes and supernatural powers, then I really don't think that you should care about such a trivial thing.

^^ Precisely. I agree with Trotsky too :biggrin:

Seriously, if you're in a ground floor room you will be VERY grateful for them.

Is there a latin name for that phobia? Or were the Romans too stylish for net curtains?

Phobia names come from Greek actually, not Latin :p:

And for the record, I can't find one.

Perhaps we could give it one?

According to my Greek dictionary (because that's where these names come from), the Greek for curtain is parapetasma.

Parapetasmaphobia it is then :biggrin:
