[Are you looking for a new place?]This guy placed an ad to find a roomate.
If you're interested in living in a 2 bedroom house in Beverly Hills for only $300/month, this might just be your lucky day!
But be warned: This guy is a serious freak and has a list of "quirks" and restrictions you won't believe.
For the full list (including the specific breed of female dog you idealy would have to mate with his own named Basil Ironweed, why he's looking for a roomate when he's a single, straight surgeon and why his house doesn't have a double garage anymore) go see the link.
Here are my favorites:
I request that you listen to all music via headphones (...) as my ears can't handle rapidly changing frequencies.
If you are going to cook, please do not use the following spices: curries, paprika, anything Cajun, and dill. The smells of these things turns my stomach.
You must brush your teeth at least twice a day.
If you are going to watch TV, please let me know in advance which programs you'd like to watch (...) I have certain shows that I simply must watch when they originally air. I cannot be too flexible with this because I cannot stand to wait to see my programs.
I need to know at least two days in advance that company is coming -- I need to know the duration of the stay, and the nature of the visit.
You must be ok with my upholstery hobby. On every third-Tuesday of the month I request that you vacate the house between the hours of 4 pm - 11:45 pm while I upholster various pieces of antique furniture. I am a perfectionist and require complete silence in the house. I've tried this with housemates who've promised to stay in their rooms, but this proved impossible as bathroom habits demand a regular schedule that interrupts my artisan work. That said, I will give you a small stipend on these days if it will assist you in finding something to do with that block of time.
No newspapers or magazines. The ink gets everywhere and the gloss irritates my eyes
This is not to sound discriminating, but, if you speak either French, Urdu, or Afrikaans, I kindly request that you not speak them in my vicinity as the cadences used in these languages are grating to the ears and nerves, for me.
(...)Also, if you insist on preparing red meat dishes in the home, do cook the meat thoroughly. IT MUST SIZZLE.
No cellphone tones in my home! Please use silent mode only!
