Never look for roommates on Craigslist
The lesson of this story is never to look for a roommate on Craigslist. The prospective roommate might seem normal at first, but it’s only a matter of time before they show their true, crazy colors. Jenny had the misfortune of finding a seemingly normal roommate on Craigslist who just happened to be a schizophrenic.
One time, things got so bad that the guy went to the roof with a knife, claiming that MTV and his friends were trying to Punk him (this was when Punk’d was a thing). The police came over to take charge of the situation. By take charge, we mean Jenny had to spend another night with the roommate before he could be carted away.
