Culture shock it's pretty horrible. Especially in a flatmate situation. Were you all sort of thrown together by the winds of fortune then?
I've found that a distressing number of my peers don't know basic things about keeping a house running(like, not leaving fruit rotting around and creating a fly or gnat infestation basic), let alone how to deal with basic minor maintenance and cleaning beyond using chlorox wipes.
