The housing
If you have a shower or run a bath or do laundry in your apartment outside of the designated hours, your neighbours will complain to the landlord and you may be evicted. The Swiss are very, very fond of rules, and even fonder of enforcing them.

- ThePadawan 7y agoI would say it's slight exaggeration, having lived in Switzerland for over ten years. I would put it on the same level as "my home owner's association fined me for only watering my lawn twice a week instead of three times a week". Not impossible to believe, but also far from normal.
- drawkbox 7y agoI did see that you can't do laundry on Sunday in the article, strange. > Swiss society is built on the principle of local communities and public engagement. Swiss people have a high sense of ownership and like to decide on how the things are shaped around them. > This might seem too restrictive for some people because of some seemingly silly rules, like: no laundry on Sunday but it leads to a generally happy society which is able to solve its problems.
