1/30/2008 9:09:53 PM
Some of the people on there are kinda weird.
1/30/2008 9:10:22 PM
CL people are way worse than TWW people
1/30/2008 9:11:07 PM
I've heard of people doing this with great success.

1/30/2008 9:12:03 PM
1/30/2008 9:12:04 PM
LOL, moving out after 2 months with one from craigslist this weekend...
1/30/2008 9:12:31 PM
Some of the shit sounds so nice, like "utils included" and "big screen tv" and "washer/dryer on deck" and "fenced in yard"Shit is hard to pass up, should I give it a go? hahaoh man I'm gonna be raped and murdered all Halloween like
1/30/2008 9:14:39 PM
it seems that the cheaper ones are the weird people. I've been looking for the past couple weeks and came across some gems. I got told by some indians that I was going to hell for eating meat and another group told me they're only looking for gay/bi guys. [Edited on January 30, 2008 at 9:16 PM. Reason : ]
1/30/2008 9:15:56 PM
only if you were hot as fuck.
1/30/2008 9:16:06 PM
Well I'm not looking for $100dollarbucks a month gets you everything you ever hoped for!!!!!!!!!!shewt
1/30/2008 9:17:13 PM
I found a room mate on craigslist, best room mate ever.
1/30/2008 9:18:59 PM
try to find a place with a locking bedroom door. at least that's a way to have the illusion of safety.
1/30/2008 9:19:36 PM
How do you weed out the crazies? They all sound alike!!!!1
1/30/2008 9:20:17 PM
go meet them?my old roommate was going to live with this guy that writes Star Trek novels for a livinghe apparently had a couple of houses but wanted a roommate because he was lonely
1/30/2008 9:22:16 PM
^^Or just buy a new door knob so that you know that you're the only one with a key.
1/30/2008 9:22:45 PM
that's AWESOME!
1/30/2008 9:22:52 PM
Wooo.... I guess I'll take that plunge. Shoot, better than being homeless AMIRITE???
1/30/2008 9:23:13 PM
I think anonymous roommate is almost better than friend roommateyou're not really required to hang outyou can be more of a jerkhowever, my gf and I are living in our current house with no lease of any kind and no utilities in our name - I can bounce whenever
1/30/2008 9:24:41 PM
not really i met my roommate off of craigslist last summer and lived with her for 2.5 months and a friend of mine found her roommate off of it this past november and is enjoying it
1/30/2008 9:38:48 PM
Ok well wish me luck
1/30/2008 9:51:08 PM
Finding one on T-dub is not much better.Dude comes over that has no cell phone and no car. Tells me for 5 days he is bringing the rent money in cash, never brings it. Calls from a private number and does not leave any messages then gets pissed that I don't call him back. Then gets pissed when I rent the room to someone else. ]
1/30/2008 9:53:56 PM
1/30/2008 9:56:18 PM
Oh shit, one person already replied and said the room available has a deadbolt, should I be worried??
1/30/2008 10:00:26 PM
i did and it worked out great so far
1/30/2008 10:00:52 PM

1/30/2008 10:01:41 PM
meh. At times I want to run over mine.
1/30/2008 10:04:06 PM
I FOUND MY CURRENT DWELLING THROUGH TDUBTHANKS TDUB
1/30/2008 10:14:35 PM
i've heard of people renting from people off craigslist and it was fine. my friend at work just renewed her lease with a girl who had a room for rent on craigslist.
1/30/2008 10:26:45 PM
Why do you need a room mate, i thought you said you had a friend to live with. what area are you looking in?
1/30/2008 10:28:03 PM
she bailed, in knoxville
1/30/2008 10:29:27 PM
1/30/2008 10:31:14 PM
I did it once in Richmond. My roommate suuuucked and was a big slob.
1/30/2008 10:34:30 PM
lol. I just ran across a listing where the guy said he'd prefer girls because the guys that have come to look at it were weird.
1/30/2008 10:35:04 PM
I've had 2 roommates on Craigslist.I'd say 50% you'll get someone you wind up hating
1/30/2008 10:36:02 PM
yeah this is crazy. one dude is christian like whoa, the other said no dogs then ok dogs so im thinking he wants to murder me.
1/30/2008 11:15:31 PM
you don't know anyone in knoxville? friends of friends? maybe someone at your work has a friend or a friend of a friend? seems less sketch. also i feel like living with a random girl (when you are female) is probably safer than a random guy. or not. i dunno. i would feel weird living with a random guy.
1/30/2008 11:20:49 PM
girls can be really bitchy and territorial. No one I know is looking for a place to live.My dad told me not to move in with another guy....but shit, what if he's cool? No drama!
1/30/2008 11:44:18 PM
dont be like my coworker who cant do anything without her daddy's blessing(she is 39) He wouldnt let her rent a room from a guy....I am like, you are no longer 18....(i was thinking that). She then proceeding to tell me that he helped her get an apartment instead, which is way too expensive for what she makes.[Edited on January 30, 2008 at 11:52 PM. Reason : he helped her out at first, now she just eats soup all the time]
1/30/2008 11:51:22 PM
he wont help me out financially but he does give good advice peridoically. I know he would be FOR SHAME if he found out i got a roomie form the internets and it has a dingdong
