This story exposes the dangers of sharing a rental home with a stranger
Clarice: Good morning! I'm Clarice - I saw your 'Roommate Wanted' ad. Is it still available?
Rogert: Hey there, yes it's still available.
Clarice: Perfect! I'm looking in that area - it's downtown right?
Rogert: Not exactly downtown, more on the outskirts. But it's well connected - you can reach downtown in 10 minutes.
Clarice: 1|Clarice|call1.mp3
Rogert: You called but didn't say anything when I answered...
Clarice: Oh sorry, wrong number
Rogert: Thought maybe you wanted to talk about it over the phone instead
Clarice: No no, just a mistake - did I bother you?
Rogert: No, not at all
Clarice: Okay, so tell me about the place?
Rogert: It's pretty basic - kitchen, small living room with a couch, TV, some furniture... two bedrooms and one bathroom.
Clarice: Shared bathroom?
Rogert: Yeah, just the one
Clarice: I don't mind sharing... what about you?
Rogert: Well... two would be better but that's how the place is...
Clarice: You're a guy, right?
Rogert: Yeah...
Clarice: I'm a woman - that cool with you?
Rogert: Doesn't matter to me... just looking to split costs
Clarice: Okay, some guys might feel weird living with women...
Clarice: You know, like if they walk around naked or whatever...
Rogert: Right... well...
Clarice: Are you gay?
Rogert: Uhh no, I'm not gay
