How to find a new roommate.

If you're in the situation where your roommate is about to move out and you're looking for the perfect boy or girl to move in, and you believe that you have to look out for someone who doesn't have strange habits and will probably get along with you...you're wrong.

You will be looking for someone who can successfully lock and unlock the door and is able to put away Jeff folding chairs without making a fool of themselves.

As a matter of fact we keep our Jeffs neatly folded in the corner, so whenever we need more than two chairs at the kitchen table we friendly offer our guests to "just grab a chair". Getting them there in advance? Not with our Jeffs.
What follows is us watching our Jeff virgins trying to get their chairs open or even more fun, to watch their attempt to put them away. As it turned out, architects are not allowed to participate in this game, but in general it gives us a good laugh.
Has it just been a pet on the shoulder whenever someone succeeded, it now comes along with a "You could move in here".
Folding chairs are bastards. Don't tell me you've never struggled with one in your life.

But who actually manages to get our door open in the winter almost gets a lease agreement along with a "goodbye, see you soon".
Our door must be Jeff's big sister. If you don't kick it right, you won't be able to turn that bloody key.
I don't know if the looks on our guests faces are confused or terrified whenever we tell them, that they are good candidates to become Laura's new roommate.

Probably we're the ones with the strange habits. Maybe we should actually look a bit deeper, find someone with a warm heart, who shares some of Laura's interests, enjoys weird movies and Friends marathons, likes cooking experiments...okay, screw all that. Just bring along a Ryan Gosling Christmas tree when you move in...
