No bacon, buzzers or bad words: meet the world's worst roommate
A roommate looking at Craigslist, though, would have encountered something on an entirely different level of awkward, judging by one advertiser's code of conduct for residents. Refinery 29 have the full list. Here are some highlights.
"I will not cook with or make Kim Chi [sic], sausage, bacon, heavy seafood, red sauce, nor will I bring into the apartment or use oil or quinoa. Should I cook with any of these items, I will pay the $25 per occurrence charge for someone else to clean up after me or remove the item from the apartment. Please see section on protecting all surfaces. No notice will be given, charges are not disputable, and eviction will occur if repeated."
"When the paper towel roll in the kitchen is low (1/3 left or more – NOT less), I will replace it. I will not leave a meager supply for the next housemate to perform the Change."
"I will not use cuss words, inappropriate language or gestures, or discuss topics (even in jest)."
"If I clip my nails in the apartment, I will do so over a trash can placed on a towel and ensure that all clippings are thrown away, not on the floor and that in some way, muffle the sound so as not to distract others."
"Do any and all methods to ensure that our house buzzer is not used. If you desire a delivery order: food, packages, whatever, it is only allowed if you make sure that the deliverer does not ring the buzzer."
