One of my cube neighbors found this at Craig's List. Absolutely mind-bogglingly finicky. A short subset of his requirements: no newspapers, magazines, cats, paints, cellphone ringtones, music, curry, shopping for fruits or vegetables, or speaking French, Urdu, or Afrikaans.

If it's not a joke, it's hardly surprising that the previous roomates didn't work out.
Although the list does remind me of someone's laundry list of who they will and will not date -- that sort of person usually doesn't have things work out either.

He doesn't need the money, he needs someone around occasionally. I would consider this as a room, depending on the location; I'd negotiate a little more on basics such as cleaning, food storage/leftovers, etc. The price is good...and he's really really clear--no irritants.
Betcha money that he gets a roomie...

The really odd thing is that he says he wants the company, then he puts so many restrictions in that the person really can't interact with him in any normal way. He needs a pet, except he's clearly too neurotic for anything more involved than a plush animal.
Or maybe just a joke?
