To the genius in Illinois who posted this want ad: if your experience interviewing random would-be roommates hasn’t convinced you already, our archives provides ample proof than “bitchy” is far from synonymous with “old.”

I’m sure they’re lining up to room with this person…

Free translation: “Wanted: young, hip, attractive (but not moreso than I) roomie willing to do all housekeeping, cooking, looking after my neglected unhousebroken pets and otherwise putting up with my PA bullshit for an indefinite period.”
Wow, only one tear-away tag left? Must be a real housing shortage in the area. Here’s hoping Mr. / Ms. Young-and-Hip had fun with all those roomie interviews!

this made LOL so hard. it’s just awkward. i’m also loving how ghetto the ad is. they even drew out little information tabs for people to rip off.

Oh how I wish I were young again so I could apply to be her roommate! How is it possible such a gracious person needs a new one ASAP?

I’m hoping Timothy Leary found that roomie he was seeking.
I’m over 30, but please trust me on this.

Roommate needed ASAP?
What if the previous roommate died from old age and left a lot of dirty dishes in the sink?

being a bitchy old person, right after I took the picture, I would’ve taken the posting off the wall and tossed it into the nearest trash can.

I bet this chick’s definition of “old” is anyone over 23.

Most of us don’t need someone who can’t be bothered to make a proper sign and or use punctuation.

Yay! I’m not old. That’s as compared to my granddad, who’s 91. I’m not bitchy either. OK, psychotic sometimes if I miss my meds, but I go right from quiet and unassuming to methodically homicidal, no bitchy in between. My parole officer says he likes that about me. When can I move in?

I’m honestly surprised so many people took her phone number. Who wants to live with her?

The real reason they don’t want an old roommate? Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but if I went out to the bar or a party with my 87-year-old grandfather, I don’t think I could keep up.

She sounds like a bitch, but she has only one phone number tab left!

Well, that’s one way to narrow down your roommate possibilities. Although, from the note, who would like to room with her?

I’m more interested in the note below. Some band needs a kick-ass front man and I’m available!

What’s her age preferences, I wonder? It’s interesting the amount of people that actually took the number. Now, whether they’re actually interested or just want to find out what her problem is, is a different story.

Question – How many old people think of themselves as “old”? I’m almost 50 and I don’t FEEL any older than when I was 25. Except for the arthritis, wrinkles…

I think “bitchy” in this context means “will complain when I leave shit all over the apartment, make a mess in the kitchen, and invite over friends who get drunk, make noise all night, and puke on the carpet”. What a bitch!

I liked this comment on Facebook, from Dave Ward: “I’m left with a suspicion that “bitchy old” translated into truth-ese as “responsible mature.” I bet this person is a screw-up who wants somebody who will just put up with it. Just my gut feeling.”
I think he’s right. This girl doesn’t want a roommate who will expect chores, bills, etc., to be SHARED, she just wants someone to carry the load while she parties and hooks up.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on age. This protection extends to the selection of roommates. Someone could get this bitch (if she could be identified) in a whole lotta trouble with the local, state and federal gov’t.
How do you like them apples?!

Why does everyone assume that the author is female? I kinda thought the handwriting looked more guy-script than chick-script.

You know, I would dearly love to share your cramped, roach-infested dump of an apartment, but you are just too friggin’ YOUNG to be my roommate.

Instead of the word OlD, I wonder if the poster meant O/D–obsessive disorder?

Unsurprisingly, the film Logan’s Run didn’t do very well within the 30 and over demographic…
