What is the most common thing in your house? It could be the fact that you have lots of pillows, you have thousands of clothes or have the same of one thing? It could be what you also collect! In my house, probably the most common 'thing' is paper. I have a lot of paper items and documents; plus all the notes that I've taken and much more!

books - clip art of a stack of books
Ooooo -- good question! I'd say in my house it's probably books. My husband and I are both avid readers, so we accumulate a LOT of books! And of course, most of them spend very little time on the bookshelf... There's always a stack on each of our nightstands, and at any given time there are four or five on each desk. Not to mention the random ones that can be found all over the house!

it has to be my 'pen' i think pen is a thing which will be very common in anyone's house. for every little work we require pen and paper. so along with paper, pen will be most common.

It would have to be toilet paper! We are constantly buying toilet paper, but that's because there is 5 people in the house 4 males, and 1 female.

For me it would be art supplies. If you took everything out of here but art supplies, the apt. would still be mostly full. We have a lot of gourds since we are both gourd artists. http:www.gourdmania.com. But we also have paper, paints, dyes, yarn, beads, glues, fabric, trim...the list goes on and on.

In this household, that common thing would be cds. From the audio cds collected, to DVDs, to those that were downloaded form the net. The place is full of 'em, that were running out of shelves and space to put them in. heheh

Like several other people, the most common thing in this house is the books. We have thousands upon thousands [rough guess maybe 5 to 6 thousand] in the house and then even MORE in boxes in the two sheds in the backyard. And this is after getting rid of several thousand too! More to go through and get rid of, gotta run to do that....

publication - Reading is my hobby. So you may find stacks of books, publications lying around in my apartment.
In my room, there are myriads of books. Some of them are bought years ago and I haven't got time to read them. Some are partly read. Some are put underneath piles of magazines, I forget if I have ever flipped them since the first day they appeared in my apartment. When I browse in a book store, especially one that sells second hand books, I can't help to buy loads of books home. So I think I need time to swallow them before visiting any book shop again.
