A: Is it true that you rent your spare room to some guy working at a tech company? Now you’ve got someone to fix your computer.

B: He rent the room two months ago. We were worried the apartment would feel crowded, but he works so much that we’re like ships that pass in the night with him.

Note: This saying refers to two or more people, especially those living together, who do not see each other very often. It can also be used on people who meet for a short time by chance, and perhaps for the only time in their lives. This is from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing.”
