Craigslist is a Funny Place

Craigslist should only exist for people to buy/sell cars. That is it, but for some reason there are tons of awkward categories and posts. Chief amongst these weird-ass categories is missed connections. I don’t know the type of person that posts, or checks posts on missed connections, but the idea is hysterical. They all pretty much go the same way, and here is an example that I found this morning.

The girl in the bucket hat (Arvada)

Hi, since I am writing this, I guess we had a missed connection. You were driving a grey car with really cool “rescued dog” bumper stickers. You had a really cool bucket hat on. We were at the light at ralston and lamar. My friend was driving a white honda civic. She asked how old you were and you said 23. I know there’s most likely no chance that you’ll see this, but I was too nervous
to ask for your phone number, so that brings me here. I was the one with the red hair in the passenger seat. If you see this, please reach out. I’d love to get to know you.

Off the top, very disappointed with this guys ability to describe the car. You are a weirdo posting a missed connection on Craigslist, stop pretending that you didn’t memorize the make, model, and license plate number of that car dude. Also, I have genuinely seen one “cool” bumper sticker in my life, and that was the “I fucking love skateboarding” sticker on my ‘96 Oldsmobile.

Next, how the fuck were you going to exchange numbers at a stop light? Was she just going to yell it over to you while you whip out your phone and punch it in? Or was she just supposed to throw her business card over to you? I see no way that this goes down that it isn’t awkward as hell. It doesn’t really matter when you find out that this creepy ass dude is a god damn ginger!

This is why you should always keep your windows up and music on full blast. Oh, and keep posting missed connections because they all make me laugh.
