Could you live (happily) in a micro apartment?

136. No, especially considering I could have tons more room for way less

where I live now, if I wanted it. There is no way I would pay those prices for that tiny little space. I like my 980 sq. ft. that I have right now, but that's small enough for me. I'd like to have one more room, but that's it. So, I don't exactly need a huge mansion, just enough space to not feel claustrophobic...

Other than the price, living in a tiny little room like that would be pure hell for my poor pitiful toes. I'm as clumsy as they come. It's one thing I have in common with my cat. We are both incredibly clumsy. I think that it why he understands when I trip over him and I understand when he just up and falls off whatever he is standing on. I've done that too. Even growing up in a regular sized house, I already had toes that went every which way by the time I was a teenager from hitting them and sometimes breaking them on the furniture. It was that heavy wooden furniture made with 2x6s. I could not simply sit down without either bumping my knees, hip, arms, legs, and most especially my toes. I have no heavy duty furniture now, except my bed, but I build the frame for it to leave some of the mattress over the edge. My toes thanked me. So far, I have not hurt myself on the bed...yet.

I've even wrapped my toes around the stand of an oscillating fan, not one of the tall ones, a short one! I cried and cussed over that for a good 10 minutes. See Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Yeah, that. It really hurt that bad. Poor toes. RIP toes.

In a place that small and that near tons of other people, I would be knocking lamps over and tripping over everything all night long. I would end up getting evicted for waking the neighbors with all the cussing while I held my toes on one foot and hopped around on the other foot every night. Never mind the possible broken bones and broken furniture from trying to maneuver through there.

There is just no way. I need a modest size house with very little furniture and padded carpet throughout. Padded walls wouldn't hurt either considering how many times I bump into door frames on the way in and out of the room. And, yes, I can even trip over the tiny little spaces between hardwood floor boards. Been there, done that.

My answer is a firm no. My toes thank me and approve of this message.
