it's like still living with your parents, if your parents were nazis

Of all the ads for housing I've read in the last few days, this one is my favorite. It starts out fairly normal and ends up sounding like you'd be living with a cross between Annie Wilkes from Misery and Principal Skinner's mother:

This area has been developed to be another downtown Calgary. It is a 10 minute walk to the bus stop and the bus takes you directly to the LRT - Bridlewood station. It is good because you can always have a seat on the train in the morning - who likes to stand. I have 1 bedroom with a single bed for $575/month. This is only for one person per room. The house is furnished, some bedding included,dishes, etc. You only need to bring your clothes. Anything brought into the house needs to be ok'd by me. No fridges etc in the room. The house doesn't have a garage so I cannot accomodate storage of furniture since it is furnished as you can see by the pictures. Includes utilities, phone - local calls only, cable tv, wireless internet - bring your own computer. You can use the kitchen and livingroom area. You have to clean up after yourself and put your dishes in the dishwasher, wipe off countertops, and remove your shoes if you come in the door. Muddy work boots are to be left in your vehicle and you can change into other shoes. All eating and drinking is to be done in the kitchen and dining room area ONLY. I do clean the house once a week. I do clean the bathroom. If you want me to vaccum and dust your room once a week I will - if not you can do it yourself. Toilet paper and two clean bath towels are provided once a week. I wash the sheets once a month. If you want laundry service each week it is extra and I will do it for you, or you can do your own. Quiet at 10 pm as everyone works or needs their sleep. This is a non partying house. Looking for responsible quiet people with no drug or alcohol problems. If you smoke it is to be done outside.Butts are to go in a can. References are required.

What a life! In bed by ten, furitively changing shoes in the car, wiping off countertops after you eat only in the kitchen and dining room, and worrying about what this lady thinks as she is washing your unmentionables.

On the plus side.....toilet paper provided!!

Survey says?
Pass.
