Craigslist.org has been home to some of the oddest posts on the Internet. This strange posts are some of my favorites though, because they are just SO funny! Here are my Top 10 favorite weird Craigslist postings…
Laziest Poster on Craigslist:
~ I want some orange juice ~
I’ll give you $2 + cost if you’ll deliver me some orange juice with receipt. I’m too lazy to get it myself. I live right by University Drive in Elon. Thank you.
Strangest pick-up line on Craigslist:
~ I took your purse and felt a connection ~
Tuesday night around 11:30. On 53rd btw 1st and 2nd. You came out of the subway and I followed you. You looked over your shoulder, saw me and started walking faster. I ran up, took your purse and ran away. I’ve done many a snatch-and-grab but no one has every stuck in my mind like you. There was a quick moment when our eyes met that I felt something strong. I think you felt it too. If I wasn’t so shy (or so committing a crime) I would have asked for your name. I, of course, later got your name from your drivers license. So Jennifer if you’d like to get together for a drink sometime get back to me.
Weirdest roommate request on Craigslist:
~ I Have a Huge Bathroom ~
I am a female in my mid 60’s and I am looking for a room mate. Times are tight and I need some extra money. I am willing to rent out my bathroom in my 1 bedroom east village home. My bathroom is large. You can easily put a twin air mattress in there. I only ask that when I need to use the bathroom, you or your air mattress are not in it. I do ask that when you are in the apartment, you confirm yourself to the bathroom. I do not feel comfortable with a stranger walking around my living room. This might change as I get to know you better.
Strangest holiday request on Craigslist:
~ Need someone to hide easter eggs in my apartment when im not home ~
I need someone to hide easter eggs in my apt when I am not there! They are small and filled with candy! I would like to find them myself on Sunday! I am willing to pay! Serious inquiries only!
Grossest lost-and-found post on Craigslist:
~ My teeth ~
I left my Dentures in your Silverado last night. I gave you my number but did not get yours. Please call me asap. I need my teeth. We met in the parking lot of Margarita Jones. Get back to me asap please. Thank you.
Best scientific sofa puzzle on Craigslist:
~ Free couch, if you can bend time and/or space ~
I have a free couch for anyone who can get it back out of my room. It’s a comfy couch, cool stripe velvet in great shape, impossibly uncomfortable sleeper, but otherwise easily worth $50-75 bucks in Craigslist land. So why am I listing it for free? Because I am pretty sure it is physically impossible to remove this thing from my second story bedroom down the narrow hallway, down the narrower staircase and out the front door of my little Victorian duplex.
Weirdest wedding plan request on Craigslist:
~ Looking for bridesmaids ~
So, my fiancé and I are getting married in June. He has 8 groomsmen lined up and I only have one bridesmaid. So, I need some girls who are attractive and around my age to stand up in my wedding. You can be single or taken. It doesn’t matter….you just have to be hot. But, not hotter than me. Email me for more information. The wedding will be in Madison and you won’t have to pay for a thing.
Oddest hobby on Craigslist:
~ Free – international ketchup packet collection ~
This is a collection of ketchup packets from around the world. Approximately 25 countries are represented here, including Japan, Finland, Estonia, Greenland, Brazil, and Portugal. None of the packets have been opened and they are labeled with their home country. Collection comes in attractive box with ducks on it.
Most discreet repairman on Craigslist:
~ Computer repairman ~
Does your computer not work as well as it used to, but you are scared to bring it to someone to get it fixed because you don’t want anyone seeing what you’ve downloaded? I fix computers for under $100. Completely confidential, I don’t even look at your files. I just wipe out the hard drive and reinstall Windows. Your computer will be good as new.
Oddest pet give-away on Craigslist:
~ Ferocious attack kitten ~
This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house, even against you. He has a very soft and furry belly, like a teddy bear – however he will bite your face if you try to touch it. For the love of God, someone please take this thing out of my house.
