Are YOU looking to rent a best friend?

It is always a tough, emotional and worrying experience when a friend moves away.

You worry about what you are going to do without them and what they are going to do without you. You worry that they won’t make any friends and that they will be lonely. You worry (perhaps the biggest worry of all) about what will happen if they meet someone else and all of a sudden… there is a NEW best friend on the scene?

Well, this one Irish man has found a way to tackle all these issues by making sure that his migrating best friend will have a new friend for the year but, also, that he will be promptly returned to his rightful owner.

That’s right, he has decided to rent out his BFF.

Yep, up on Done Deal you can find an advertisement for one best friend. But the seller also warns that potential renters must not get too attached, as he will be taking his best friend back at the end of the year.

“For rent. Best friend.

Term of lease is one year. Conor is moving to the people’s Republic of Cork for one year with his company. Very reluctant to rent him out but these things happens.”

Conor’s attributes include being “a good laugh” and it is said he is “the perfect Guinness drinking accomplice.”

The advertisement continues, “He is a terrible dancer but brave. Conor is an excellent wing man.”

Does Conor sound like the perfect BFF for you? If you like “Guinness, hurling, joe.ie, Roy Keane, Daniel O’Donnell, Chuck Norris facts,” then this could be your ideal match. 

For €4.45 per month, this sounds like the deal of a lifetime (or a year) to us!
