So, we have not had a "post your favorite craigslist ads" in a bit, and something that my wife found today was so off the wall that I had to bring it out into the light beyond my home town. I can't tell if this person is for real or if they just are incredibly lonely. The more likely option is that this is a lark to get a laugh, and if so, it worked. Either way... http://eugene.craigslist.org/etc/2659225032.html -------------------------------------------- Are you afraid of ghosts? I live in a house built in 1891. Ever since i moved in, 20 years ago, there have been some interesting occurances. Noises at night. The locked basement trapdoor opening and slamming shut. Lights turning on and off. The past few months i've been having reoccurring dreams about the basement. Extensive research into previous occupants has revealed some strange information. My house was built by someone who was eventually accused of "acts of immorality". Herbert Coby Henderson. His family was run out of town in 1912 and most of the building burned down. It was rebuilt on the same foundation in 1916 (the basement remained) There is a basement accessible by a trap-door. I have never been in there. I need someone to go explore! Preferably a strong willed individual who knows how to operate a camera. This person would need to stay overnight and record happenings with a tape recorder and a digital camera. It has to be at night because that's when the noises occur. You will also need to help me open the trapdoor. It has several heavy iron chains that are cemented into the sides of the foundation. A saw? Sledgehammer? Not sure what would work. Though i'd prefer not to damage the brick foundation. You will also need a sleeping bag and a flashlight (or lantern). -------------------------------------------- It says that payment is negotiable, and part of me really thinks it would be hilarious to answer this post and see where things go. The part of me that does not want to get locked away in some persons makeshift "Saw" recreation set is about the only thing stopping me. But then I think about the fact that there could be a safe in that room, and we all know how utterly awesome safe cracking threads are. So, what other hidden gems of craigslist are out there? I know some of you save the good ones for later, and this is the time to post them. Extra credit if you have ever answered an obviously sketchy ad and either had tragedy befall you, or the greatest adventure imaginable. Time to start scouring CL people.

CL in Utah is very tame. On the other hand I would do the above. I'd call. And I'd be happy about it even if it turned he followed me into the basement with, "Oh, yeah, I have a time machine over there, wanna check it out?" ... "That wasn't a time machine! It was just a dark closet and you used it to have sex with me!" Live a little, call 'em.

I know I've posted this before, but I found a Missed Connection about me.craigslist creeper posted:At the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum - m4w - 27 (Kansas City, MO) I know this was about me because the time and place were right, I was on a date, and the "video game characters" was actually my boyfriend comparing ushabtis (Egyptian funerary figurines, little farmer sculptures and such to serve the dead in the afterlife) to DnD figurines.

This one is my favorite:quote:"We need an Adult Drunk Clown who is good at getting drunk and stupid. No need to do any clown tricks, just hang out and drink a poo poo load. We will be hopping around to different bars and want a clown to tag a long and drink heavely. He doesn't even need to socialize with anyone, just drink. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/814181712.html

I love how Adult Drunk Clown is written like it's an actual title. Also it doesn't look like the Adult Drunk Clown is getting paid, just getting lots of free drinks. Not sure if that's a rip off for the clown.

For over two weeks, every other day or so the same guy was posting in missed connections. I didn't take screenshots, but I remember the messages well. He led off with: "You were the beautiful nurse in the light blue sweater who helped attend my wife during labor at X hospital. Your easy grace and gorgeous eyes caught my eye immediately, and I found myself unable to focus on the miracle of life, or indeed anything but your pert behind and warm smile. I had to go to the bathroom to relieve tension several times. Email me the date and time of my son's birth. I WANT TO FCK YOUR FACE."  Two days later: "I saw you again when I went back to pick up the book my wife left behind. You recognized me and smiled, and I heard a choir of angels. I know you've seen my message, for the look you gave me was one of pure carnal desire. Email me with the title of the book I picked up and we can consummate the proposal I saw in your eyes. I WANT TO FCK YOUR FACE."  A day or two after that: "I couldn't help myself, I returned to the hospital again, hoping to catch a glimpse of you. We're united in longing and desire, why do you continue to not contact me? When I gaze at my son, all I can think of is your proud smile when you handed him to me. The sky outside is the color of your sweater. Email me my son's full name, and let's meet up in a hotel. I'll wear nothing and you can wear just the sweater. I WANT TO FCK YOUR FACE."  He kept going back to the hospital on pretexts, and ended every post with "I WANT TO FCK YOUR FACE." He stopped posting suddenly, I almost think he was arrested. The fact that he fell in love with someone while his wife was giving birth is only slightly more amusing than the mildly flowery language, capped off every time with "I WANT TO FCK YOUR FACE."

Has anyone here had a good experience with Craigslist? Looking at my one, it sounds like people who post their goods on there either want to scam me, or eat my skin  Content:quote:Size 8 student sought - m4w (Birmingham or surrounds)  There's also one recruiting men to be in a gangbang video. I get a feeling that anyone who goes to that has a good chance of disappearing in mysterious circumstances, then turning up in a canal, with all the vital organs removed...

OldMemes posted:Has anyone here had a good experience with Craigslist? I got a really excellent roommate off of Craigslist. We lived together for 18 months, at which point I moved in with my boyfriend, into a house we found on Craigslist. My dad's hobby is purchasing old power tools and fixing them up. His goal is to eventually have all his large tools be within ten years of his own age (54). He goes on a "shady Craigslist deal" just about every weekend, and almost always gets what he wants for a good price. I don't know, maybe middle aged craftsmen just approach Craigslist in a more straightforward manner.

My mom went through a phase where she would constantly ring me up and ask me to drive over to some house to pick up some thing she bought at craigslist and bring it to her place. She bought an old chandelier that she put in her dining room, a patio set that she spray painted with some rustoleum and now uses, and other bits of home furnishing. She bought a rug, but it was a horrible smelly mess that looked like it had been left out in the woods during a monsoon. Even after washing it was still a mess and it looked dreadful to boot. We ended up using it as a surface to spray paint the patio stuff on, and then tossed it. She hasn't used craigslist much since then. She did try to rent a room in her house out using that site, but the only person who went for it was a guy who claimed to be a pharmacist student from the UK coming to the US on a grant. He sent a dodgy check and when she took it to the bank they were like "yeah this is a scam". I try to tell her to be careful on there without telling her that she's doing her home shopping on a site where greasy bearded men advertise their blood-drinking covens, but she seems to have moved on to other stuff.

I remember a link to a Dallas Craigslist encounter ad on DocEvil's Twitter account a rather long time ago. The gist of it was that the person was looking for someone to torture his balls, and he stressed multiple times that this was not for any romantic purposes. Does anybody have a screenshot of that, by any chance?

I met my wife on Craigslist, and she hasn't murdered me and sold my organs on the black market yet. YET. Seems like you could pretty much c/p the entirety of the "missed connections" section and call this thread good-- it seems to be pretty consistantly sad/troubling.

I'm checking out Craigslist, and some of this is so . Most of the people on there are fake posts and trolls, right? Right? I'm actually considering setting up a few fake e-mails, and finding out if some of the odder people are serious or not. (I won't do more than ask - I like having both kidneys) Most of them sound like traps - that if you show up to them, you'll end up in a pit in someone's basement, being fed pizza rolls. I think I'm through the looking glass here, people. quote:Its a love story, we met in the train in the way to NYC Summer 2009 - m4w - 37 (train from NJ to NYC) Yes, there is a picture of this girl, taken from across the train carriage. quote:Breed My Wet Pussy - w4m - 20 (Oakham, Rutland) What could possibly go wrong! quote:Erotic Fiction free to good home - m4mw - m4mw - 35 (Newtown - B19) Who could pass up on a deal like that?!

Sometimes, I get angry at my mum for having me play cello as a kid instead of oboe or flute. http://london.craigslist.co.uk/m4w/2672361904.html  I also saw an ad for a houseshare on gumtree recently which at the end requested that applicants have their own teeth and shoes It was a good deal and in my budget so I went for it, but they never got back to me.

Either because it's money for virtually nothing or to report this idiot to his/her teacher.quote:So I love to write but apparently I stink at writing papers for my English 101 class. Im looking for a person to write my last two papers for my class. I will give you all the log in information and then you can access the material and then give me the paper so that I can review it and turn it in. I will pay a deposit immediately and then once the grade is posted in the system I will send the remainder of our pre agreed amount. I would really love to get some graduate students or some ex-teachers in the discipline. Please email me immediately. I need the help. I've used craigslist before so hopefully ill have success again.
