Sin to be single?

Never really faced the brunt of being a single working woman. Well, technically I'm not single but currently living with a roomate. But, my question is- is that a crime???

Life can't be any worse for me, especially at this state. I have not found a house for a really really long time. Yesterday we went to see a house. Disaster! I can't believe someone has the guts to actually offer a rotten house like that for rent. So, chucked that. We were really backing on house. A beautiful charming house. Then the bad news arrived...

'Sorry, cant really give the house for single girls' It came like a blow, like someone threw ice cold water on my face. What? I thought, what do they mean by cant offer a house for single girls? Do they know who we are and what we do? What do they think we are? What nonsense and what a lame excuse! It's not like two single women can eat the house!

Next blow- In the peak of desperation we went door to door asking watchmen if there are vacant flats. One very intelligent creature started barking at us (I'm not referring to a dog). 'Look at them, two girls roaming in the night like this.'

'What do you mean by that, you insensitive lout' I wanted to ask. I asked him very politely if there are houses, he barks 'Did you see any to-let boards? What are you doing here...bow bow bow' YUCK! What a pain. Well, honestly I don't understand his language. But I could make out what he barked and understood his point (which is nonsensical).

Current state- Living with rats, roaches, lizards and you name it, in the present house and still looking for the house. Skimmed Google search results for hours. We now know the names of all property finder sites. Will lady luck smile at us? Just glad that dinosaurs are extinct!
