If two characters who don't like each other, or who happen to be angry with each other at the moment (especially in a Feud Episode), live in one house or apartment, one of them will be eventually seen painting a colored line (or laying down a long strip of tape) in the middle of the residence, explaining: "This is my side; this is yours. Don't go on my part!" Naturally, it's Serious Business.
Eventually complications will begin to show up, like how long the line is expected to be maintained, guests being forced to follow those rules, or necessities like the fridge or bathroom being available only on one side.
Related to This Is My Chair, which is usually a throwaway gag. See also Property Line, which is the same plot on a larger scale. Truth in Television, as those who have ever had an argument with a sibling, roommate, or Soviet Bloc can attest to.

In Happy Days, Ralph and Potsie acted on the bad advice secretly written by Richie in an advice column about dividing their apartment. This creates a war of sides where each has the entirety of a necessary part of the apartment (Ralph = kitchen, Potsie = bathroom). Eventually, the resulting fight gets so bad that when Richie tries to resolve the situation, he has to make them all stand on the line itself as neutral territory like tightrope walkers, only to have Fonz come and note to the bizarre sight, "And you're doing it without a net."

The Smurfs:
In the episode "Romeo and Smurfette," Papa Smurf has Brainy divide the village like this when Gargamel starts a dangerous Smurfette/Handy vs. Smurfette/Hefty Ship War. Seriously.
The village was divided again in this fashion in the cartoon special "The Smurfic Games" to separate the Smurfs into two teams...only for the line to be painted right over Clumsy and his house!

The Penguins of Madagascar, "All King, No Kingdom": King Julien divides the lemur habitat in half, one side for Maurice and Mort, the other for himself. Naturally, Julien's "half" occupies most of the habitat. Maurice and Mort then throw a party and invite all the animals in the zoo, except for Julien, who starts going crazy with loneliness.

Parodied in Clone High: Joan and Cleo are forced to share a room, so Joan paints a line dividing it in half — a horizontal line (bunk beds, you see). Cleo gets the lower half, and Joan gradually becomes "like a monkey in every way."

Hello Jadoo: In "Reunification", a feud between Jadoo's parents reaches the point where a line is painted through the house, dividing it into sides for each parent to stay in. This impedes their daily lives since the bathroom is on the mother's side and the kitchen is on the father's side.

In one story on The Smurfs, the village is divided over linguistic issues (they can't agree on the use of "smurf") and one enterprising Smurf paints a line along the middle. Unfortunately, it runs right through one poor Smurf's home, creating confusion as to which side he belongs to. The whole story must've been an allegory on the French/Dutch language struggle in Belgium (where the Smurfs' creator is from).

The Addams Family: In the episode "Gomez and Morticia vs. Fester and Grandmama," Gomez and Morticia think Fester and Grandmama spoil the children too much, so when they plan to go on a trip, they hire a babysitter for the children instead of trusting the two older relatives to look after them. The offended Fester and Grandmama respond by dividing the house (and even Lurch) with a white line.

In Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps, Angelina and Marco did this with a poster after they were assigned to work together. Marco didn't want frills and a tutu on his poster, while Angelina couldn't abide by the idea of having soccer balls in the poster. It didn't work work out, and they went through a couple of other hangups, before finally hitting on a working idea.

In Breath of the Wild, at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, Purah and Symin have very different working habits as Purah's side of the lab is unkempt and disorganized while Symin's is neat and tidy; it got so bad that Purah drew chalk lines on the ground splitting the lab into parts. Yes, that's "lines", plural. The lines show that the lab was split roughly in half, but on two occasions, Purah redrew the line to make her side bigger.

The Simpsons:
Subverted when Homer begins to draw a line across the house "à la I Love Lucy" after a fight with Marge, but instead draws himself into a tiny corner of the bedroom.
Mentioned in passing by Principal Skinner, when he says that his mother put cardboard over her half of the TV screen.
In one episode, Lisa and Bart are fighting over being able to sit on a certain part of the carpet.

Himouto! Umaru-chan has this happen in one chapter, except that anger/hate isn't a factor.note Taihei was a little annoyed about Umaru bugging him to play while he was working at his PC, but that's about it. Taihei suggests dividing the apartment in half using a curtain; Umaru likes the idea at first since it's like having her own place, and Taihei thinks it'll improve his productivity. However, it doesn't even take a full day before the two siblings start to miss each others' presence and decide to do away with the curtain.

In Where Talent Goes on Vacation, the students are paired up into cabins for their cruise. While most of the students get along reasonably well, Satoshi Karita and Yuichi Asakura can't stand each other, so Karita divides the cabin into thirds: His side, Asakura's side and a neutral area (the bathroom, the closet and the door) where only one of them can be at any given time.

Calvin and Hobbes:
One arc has Calvin deciding to become a tiger, then finding out that tigers are territorial. He uses a boulder to define the boundary between his and Hobbes' territory, then brags about how much better his side is. Hobbes then rolls the boulder over toward Calvin and declares that "your side is smaller."
Calvin and Hobbes bickered in the back seat of Calvin's parents' car once.
They once had divided parts in Calvin's bed, with a demilitarized zone in the middle.

In The War with Mr. Wizzle also by Korman: After Bruno and Boots have a fight, Bruno divvies up the room and refuses to talk to Boots. (He does permit him to use the bathroom, though.)

Baby Blues: Combined with Feeling the Baby Kick. Bunny is pregnant with twins, and in one Imagine Spot panel she notices a dotted line down the middle of her belly. Apparently the unborn siblings have "claimed" space in their mother's womb, and fight over it so furiously her whole belly quakes. Bunny calls this an "occasional territorial dispute."

Neon Genesis Evangelion: While there was no actual line drawn, Asuka tells Shinji that the door between two rooms is "the impenetrable wall of Jericho, Third Child. Take one step over this line and you'll be a dead man." Given that in the story from the Bible, the wall of Jericho fell at the sound of a trumpet, many fans perceived this as a come on. This is helped by the fact that Asuka herself breaks the line after a bathroom trip, lying next to Shinji instead of returning to her room. Whether she did it on purpose or unconsciously is up to debate.

In Married... with Children, Al Bundy takes a vacation without leaving home, by cordoning off the couch area, ignoring everything going on in the rest of the house, and faking it. "I'm sorry, the captain's turned on the 'No Peg' sign."

Discworld:
In the novel Going Postal, the basement room where Junior Postmen Toliver Groat and Stanley Howler live has a line going down the middle of the floor and across the top of the dining table, with a little "neutral zone" circle for the salt. A scrap of paper which has fallen partially on the fanatically neat Stanley's side has had the protruding edge removed, and the rest left. The two don't appear to dislike each other, they're just very private people. (Although Moist gets the definite feeling that the reason they don't dislike each other is because there's a line, which to him seems to say: "This is my side, this is your side. As long as we both remember that, there won't be any more ... trouble". And he gets this feeling before he learns about Stanley's "Little Moments".)
The novel Jingo refers obliquely to the trope a few times, during scenes in which a group of Ankh-Morporkian and Klatchian fishermen are stranded on Leshp, as microcosms of the much bigger territorial dispute in the main plot.
Terraced houses in Morpork have a tendency to have very precise property lines, to the extent that each home-owner paints their own half of the drainpipe and no further. Although Vimes is of the opinion that this is just because Morporkians are too tight-fisted to buy paint for a whole drainpipe if only half of it is theirs.

Total Drama: Following the teams merging, Heather and LeShawna have had it with each other and split the cabin in half with tape. Lindsay sides with Heather while Gwen and newcomer Bridgette (who did not want the girls to have this feud and hoped that they could try to make up with each other) side with LeShawna. The line is removed in the next episode due to the girls' fear of Eva.

Hey Dude! featured an episode in which bunkmates Brad and Melody fought over the latter's fondness for loud music and exercising, leading Melody to "solve" the problem by putting up a blanket as a dividing line, and then blasting her stereo, as she could do as she pleased on her side. However, the outlet into which her stereo was plugged was on Brad's side...

During the initial fight between Guise and Wager Master in the backstory to Sentinels of the Multiverse, a nonsensical confrontation involving a fight over their roommate agreement, Guise divides the room along the middle with a line of purple paint. This proves to be a notably ineffectual strategy when dealing with a Reality Warper; a little later on, Wager Master uses his vast cosmic powers to physically push the line halfway across Guise's side. And then, after more shenanigans in which Guise has removalists rearrange all the furniture onto his side, Wager Master flips the entire apartment, leaving all the furniture on his side...but himself over on Guise's side, spelling his defeat.

Razzberry Jazzberry Jam: Buddy and Krupa’s room is occasionally shown to have a dashed line drawn through the middle, presumably separating each Drum Brother’s side. However, this is regularly contradicted by other episodes (such as one where Buddy and Krupa were shown to sleep in a bunk bed-hammock setup, or “Jazzberries Unplugged� where their room was shown with a completely different layout).

The Cherubs do this in Homestuck. Not with a line, because since they're a Split Personality there's no way to ensure the other respects it, but with leg irons that stretch a bit over half way across the room, and that only the personality that puts them on can unlock. The zone reached by both chains is neutral territory.

The 2017 DuckTales series shows that at least one room in the Duckburg Billionaires' Club is divided into 2 halves with a line down the middle for members Flintheart Glomgold and Scrooge McDuck. Each half has a giant portrait of that half's owner on the wall, Scrooge's half is mostly red while Glomgold's half is mostly blue and green, and Glomgold keeps a shark he likes using in his Evil Plans on his side.

Scully is pissed off at this and continues to remain so throughout the episode, engaging in a number of Out of Character behaviors like getting a tattoo. At the end of the episode Mulder says, "I don't understand...all this over a desk?" Scully just replies: "Not everything is about you, Mulder." The truth is Scully had just discovered she had cancer and is keeping it from Mulder.

The Legend of Zelda:
A Link Between Worlds: Ravio becomes more and more imposing within Link's home as the game progresses. He goes from a mere guest to shoving all of Link's belongings up against the walls to open up a shop.
In Breath of the Wild, at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, Purah and Symin have very different working habits as Purah's side of the lab is unkempt and disorganized while Symin's is neat and tidy; it got so bad that Purah drew chalk lines on the ground splitting the lab into parts. Yes, that's "lines", plural. The lines show that the lab was split roughly in half, but on two occasions, Purah redrew the line to make her side bigger.

In "Pig Trouble" on Goldie & Bear, The Big Bad Wolf ("Big Bad") blows down the pigs' straw and stick houses, in the hope that if they're all forced to be together in the brick house, they'll make up and stop arguing. Instead, they just split the interior of the brick house three ways.

Steven Universe: Defied in "Barn Mates"; when Lapis feels living with Peridot in a large barn isn't going to work out, Steven's solution is to draw a line down the center. He notes that he's seen this on TV before, though never got to see how it worked out. Lapis immediately recognizes that it's a bad idea and just decides to leave the barn.

Bloom County: Parodied in one strip. Some of the characters start arbitrarily painting lines across the local meadow, cutting off one person each time: "This is our 'state'! Stay out of our 'county'/'town'/'house'!" Then only two of them are left and they're standing on a hilltop with no room left for further lines. "Now you're in my personal space." Cue the shoving match.

Downplayed in "Slice of Life"; We see that Octavia (The cello Earth Pony) and Vinyl Scratch (The disc jockey pony) are housemates, and their house is literally split down the middle, each side reflecting their styles ala Two-Face. Nothing is made of it, and there's no indication that Vinyl and Octavia are on bad terms.

The Office (UK): In the first episode of the first series, Gareth slides a ruler between his desk and Tim's, to move things overlapping from Tim's desk. He says "One word, two syllables: demarcation". Later, in the same episode, Tim makes a pile of box files between their desks, so that he does not have to look at Gareth.

An Al Brodax Popeye cartoon had Popeye and Brutus running a hotel. Popeye wants the hotel to emphasize good food while Brutus wants to emphasize great entertainment. Popeye paints a line through half the hotel, telling Brutus to run his half his way and Popeye will run his half his way. It's all mutual until their first guest, Olive Oyl, arrives. The two start sabotaging each other's emphasis in trying to appease Olive.

An episode of CSI: Miami was the investigation of a murder in the house of a couple that was undergoing a pretty bitter divorce (and the ensuing Divorce Assets Conflict going wrong in many ways). The very first thing that the police noticed when they went in was that the couple had divided their house in two with a laser grid that would immediately trigger an alarm if somebody crossed it as a reminder to stay on their side.

Bruce Banner cobbles together a radio to try and get off the planet, but Hulk decides he likes it there so he smashes the radio, which leads to a back-and-forth war of Bruce and Hulk screwing each other over. Eventually Hulk wakes up and sees that Bruce pulled this trope.

Fire & Blood: During the Dance of the Dragons, Queen Alicent Hightower suggests doing this on a country-wide scale to her stepdaughter Rhaenyra, who she's been warring with. The side loyal to her son Aegon II get one half, Rhaenyra and her side gets another. Note that Alicent is imprisoned at the time, and her son missing, and the entire country is in the middle of a civil war, and that Alicent doesn't seem to consider the opinions of the various lords fighting on either side, or that neither Aegon or Rhaenyra might want to settle for anything less than the entire country. And then there's the fact that Aegon's side would consist of the wealthy Westerlands, fertile and populated (and pretty wealthy) Reach, and the resource rich Stormlands, while lands of Rhaenyra's side are poorer, less populated, and more devastated by the war. Rhaenyra rejects the idea.

They then proceed to divide the rest of the house this way, including Gloria and Alice.

The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks: In the first book, after arguing about putting up walls to split their room (which their mother vetoes), Michael and Norman wind up putting a line through their room so Michael can keep his messiness on his side and Norman can keep his neatness on his side. Norman promptly starts knocking back anything that might be even the slightest bit over in his side, and Michael retaliates by strewing things around even more on his side if there's a bare spot on his half of the floor.

In the Muppet Babies (2018) episode, "A Backyard Divided", when Gonzo and Piggy get into a feud, they divide the backyard into two separate halves, and since they're pretending the backyard is a medieval setting, they imagine their halves are kingdoms. The feud only grows stronger when Piggy's magic wand is on Gonzo's side, and Gonzo's soccer ball is on Piggy's side. Later in the episode, Kermit, Summer, Fozzie, and Animal demand their own kingdoms, dividing the backyard into sixths.

A four-way version happened on The Monkees when the four boys were fighting over a girl. The show played with it, noting that each would have access to only one particular vital part of the apartment. Davy's side had the front door, implying he was the only one with the ability to come and go; however, he "would gladly trade Mike for the bathroom right away". Moments later, the whole arrangement is quickly forgotten when a show comes on TV that they want to see and everyone rushes to Peter's side (which contains the television set).

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Pineapple Fever", Squidward does this when he is stuck at SpongeBob's house during a storm. It backfires on him when he has to go to the kitchen for some food, and SpongeBob, dressed as a security guard, restricts him from crossing the line.

In the The Book of Pooh episode, "A Wood Divided", Rabbit and Tigger get into a feud with each other when they run into each other at the footbridge, ruining the former's prized tomato and the latter's tail-bouncing record. At one point in the episode, Rabbit paints a line in the middle of the Hundred Acre Wood, with one side for himself, and the other side for Tigger.

In the supplemental comics of Team Fortress 2, the team has been broken up due to being fired and Miss Pauling is tasked to gather them back together again. She finds Demoman, Soldier, and Pyro first. The latter two, being Psychopathic Manchildren, proceed to squabble about sides in the back seat of Miss Pauling's sedan. Like a child, Soldier complains to Miss Pauling and pushes Pyro. Unlike a child, Pyro doesn't settle for pushing Soldier back.

In 6teen, Nikki and Caitlin split their working sides in the mall in "Fish And Make Up". This ends up causing problems for the latter later on, due to the washrooms being on the former's side of the mall.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Seen during the pageant in the episode "Hearth's Warming Eve". After the three bickering rulers of the earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn tribes get stranded in a cave during a blizzard, the rulers start arguing over who gets what part of the cave, with the pegasus leader eventually starting them on drawing lines in the dirt.
Downplayed in "Slice of Life"; We see that Octavia (The cello Earth Pony) and Vinyl Scratch (The disc jockey pony) are housemates, and their house is literally split down the middle, each side reflecting their styles ala Two-Face. Nothing is made of it, and there's no indication that Vinyl and Octavia are on bad terms.
Discussed in "The Ending of the End"; Before the Legion of Doom put their final plan into motion, they remind each other that their alliance only lasts until they have defeated all of the heroes. Then, they all plan to divide Equestria into three equal parts as different sections of their own kingdoms, letting them rule alone once again and never have to see each other again.

In the Johnny Bravo episode "Doomates", Johnny and Carl move into Pops' old trailer parked on the edge of a cliff and Johnny draws a line in the middle after Carl keeps bothering him while he's trying to watch TV. The two of them end up fighting over the remote, with Johnny failing several times to sneak onto Carl's side, only for the trailer to go over the cliff and land in Pops' diner.

In One Tree Hill, Lucas and Peyton get into a argument over which bedroom to use (Lucas wants to stay in his childhood room, and Peyton wants to move into the master bedroom, a.k.a Lucas’ mother’s room) and decide to use masking tape to divide the house in two with the "no-cross" rule in effect. This cuts off Peyton's access to the kitchen appliances and the house's circuit breakers and Lucas' access to the bathroom and the front and back door.

South Park:
In "I'm a Little Bit Country", the townsfolk enter a huge argument with themselves over the Iraq war. They eventually decide to split the town into what Skeeter calls the "Pro-War side" and the "Unpatriotic side" (to which Randy responds they should call the Anti-War side the "Rational side" and the Pro-War side the "Redneck side"). Very quickly they realize the flaw in their plan as the town only has one school, post office, grocery store, etc. Eventually, they make a realization that they're behaving foolishly:
An episode uses a sinister variation of the trope. Two visitors from out of town come across South Park, but find it devoid of adults because the kids had the vast majority falsely arrested for "molestering" them and the remaining adults moved away for fear of being arrested. Run by kids, the town has fractured into two units; the area now known as Treasure Cove is apparently led by Stan and occupies the poor side of town, whereas Cartman has seized control of the wealthy side of town and renamed it Smiley Town. Aside from the fact Cartman as dictator is scary enough (add to that the fact only one phone has survived in the entirety of South Park, effectively cutting off communication with the outside world), both sides have an agreement where they essentially play Capture the Flag with a book from the opposing side- whichever side doesn't have a book by 8:00pm must sacrifice one of its number to "The Provider" (in reality, the town's statue of John Elway with a faulty electrical cord nearby rendering it a Death Trap). It's only through the outsiders' interference that the kids are prevented from killing everyone in town and the adults are allowed to return.

An episode of The Munsters had Grampa and Herman split the house down the middle after an argument about who actually owned the place heats up. This includes a painted white line (with some effort being put toward an actual stone wall), and the vindictive act of cutting in half any item halfway across both sides. The whole thing is put to rest when Lily uses some awkward food placement at the dinner table to get them to rethink the logistics of the layout.

Joey and Parker in Liv and Maddie find it difficult sharing a bedroom so they decide to divide the room in two. Parker claims the lower half, and insists that Joey can't set foot on "his" floor. Joey gets round it with a system of ropes and pulleys to move back and forth, and sets up in the top half, insisting that Parker crouch down to avoid invading Joey's space.

"The Green Line" was a Mighty Mouse cartoon that had a section of a town divided by said line, half populated by mice and the other by cats. Both are sworn to never cross the line which is honored fully until a demon cat persuades a cat to cross it anyway. He does, and the agreement becomes horribly violated as the cats chase the mice, who use warfare to protect themselves. Mighty Mouse flies in to fight the demon cat. The hero wins, naturally, to the cheers of both cats and mice who kiss and make up.

In one episode of Drop the Dead Donkey, Henry and Sally have to share a desk and get into an argument about each keeping to their own side. As the episode goes on the argument takes an increasingly militaristic tone with disputes about how one of them has made excursions into the agreed-upon neutral zone in the middle of the desk. In the end, Helen removes their desk entirely and puts two kiddie tables in its place.

I Love Lucy:
The episode "Men Are Messy", in which Lucy — fed up with cleaning up after a careless Ricky — divides their apartment with masking tape and tells him to look after his own half. The kitchen is in Lucy's half, so Ricky can't eat, while the bathroom is in Ricky's half, so Lucy can't bathe. At one point, the telephone (which is on the line) rings, and Lucy insists that they continue to respect the line by answering it together: Ricky listens to the earpiece (which is on his side) and talks, and Lucy repeats what he says into the mouthpiece (which is on her side).
Another episode finds the Ricardos and Mertzes running a diner together. When an argument erupts over which couple should greet guests and which should work in the kitchen, a dividing line of this sort is placed in the middle of the establishment (and across the middle counter stool). It gets more interesting when their sole customer decides to sit on that middle stool, and both couples outdo themselves trying to serve him.

Spoofed in the "Divorce" episode of You Can't Do That on Television: Lance and Valerie Prevert have separated, and they've drawn a huge white line down the middle of the house (we only see the living room). Marjorie, who plays the role of the Preverts' child in the sketch, invites Lisa over for the evening, and when Valerie says it's time for Lisa to go home, Marjorie simply crosses over to Lance's side. Lisa notes that she can't see the television from Lance's side, and Marjorie says Valerie got custody of it, but Lance says he got custody of the fridge, so they can help themselves to food.

Happy Heroes: In Season 7 episode 3, the dog and cat planet ambassadors' children, Keke and Lele, who are constantly fighting with each other due to the dog and cat aliens being hostile to each other, are not happy to be forced to sit next to each other at the same school desk. Lele draws a line on the desk to separate his side from Keke's, only for Keke to keep cleaning the dividing lines Lele draws since she's a neat freak. Happy S. solves this problem by using a strip of tape as the dividing line, but the two students are still mean to each other afterwards, with each destroying the other's property if it happens to cross the line. This includes a fish that was in Keke's thought bubble.
