WTF is wrong with German houses?

[prosodic]

Our first house here had burst pipes...waterfalls in the walls and coming out of the ceiling...mold. The landlord, of course, didn't give a crap, and always tried to cover up the problem rather than fixing it, painting over the water stains and mold. Hence, why we got fed up and moved out (never mind the fact that mold can be deadly).

This house has a few quirks too. One kitchen sink backs up into the other kitchen sink. The dryer vent is somehow connected to the range-top vent. If the dryer vent gets too full of lint and the dryer is in use, condensation drips out of the range-top vent all over the stove burners (which is happening right now, so Lance needs to clean that today).

As of today, the bathtub is now backing up into the shower. I do not know yet if the shower backs up into the bathtub. I'll have to wait until one of us takes a shower to find out.

At least we're moving out in a few months. And as long as the toilets don't start backing up into the sinks, shower, or bathtub, I suppose I won't worry about it too much. It will no longer be our problem as of the end of December.

Well, I am talking about a house that has a shower stall in the laundry room of all places. We never use it as an actual shower, but Lance hooked up the washing machine to shower, since the washer hook-up only had cold water.
