'The Rules of Finding a Roommate' Doesn't Fall Flat

The trials and tribulations of finding the perfect flatmate are addressed in this hilariously honest and frank 'The Rules of Finding a Roommate' illustrated guide by Christie Young of GOOD.is. For anyone who has ever dealt with a flakey roommate situation, you know how difficult it can be to quickly find a replacement using web searches. The funniest parts of Young's chart describes the process of apartment online advertising to include a "mostly true Craigslist ad. Emphasize wood floors."

While 'The Rules of Finding a Roommate' may end in with a slightly pessimistic view of shared living arrangements, it does offer a candid and hilarious look at the often gruelling process. Christie Young's illustrated guides have yet to disappoint, and this is one that definitely has a special room in my heart.
