In search of roommate - for serious, not joking

« Back to Forum

Dear Everybody,

I'm potentially looking to rent a house with a yard starting October 1st. Would you like to be my roommate? Then give this a gander:

Me: conscientious pet owner; clean-freak in common areas; country music lover from way back; prone to non-violent mood swings.

You: have an aversion to eating other people's groceries; don't smoke; like to party at other people's houses and come home in a fairly reasonable state; love animals but don't have pets of your own; can't sleep at night unless you've cleaned up your own mess in common areas.

See you at the lease signing!

Martha

p.s. Sorry Ms. Showbiz but you're not in the running.

Ok! Good luck finding a person who will adhere to your unreasonable demands so they will have the honor of living with your crazy ass and a bunch of smelly animals!

It's about time someone stood up to Martha Kelly. Your reign of terror is over.

Not "standing up" to her. I just don't like it when someone blows me off repeatedly when I am just trying to be friendly and maybe do some writing together. I actually would be a perfect roommate for her, because I am clean & neat, quiet, don't smoke/do drugs/drink often and I love animals! But for whatever reason, she chose to single me out and tell me I am not welcome to be her roommate, although I am probably the only person who would agree to live with her.

She hurt my feelings and I guess I let my emotions get the best of me. Sorry. (my hormones are going crazy today too)

Maybe she's just afraid you'll kill her boyfriend with a heel to the eye.

Maybe she wants your writing help now? Do you know anything about drafting protective orders?

My score: 0 for 5.

Good luck Martha!

Can you sweeten the offer a little? Perhaps the promise of an unending supply of fruit rollups?

Where is the house?

I think she's looking for someone younger than her, Nat.

She's also not looking for someone to haunt her posts.
