Saw This Gem On My Local Craigslist
I was so mad until I read the last paragraph. Now I'm laughing. 🤣
Whoa, I started out being mad how this guy can trade his loyal dog to some person that'll never love him as unconditional as a dog... Until the last paragraph. You, Sir, are the MVP here.
I actually figured out who he was really selling once he got to the nails part.
The long hair was the clue for me. Beagles have very short hair.
Load More Replies...I think most of us would. But the guy is right to trash her.
Load More Replies...Never ever give up your pet if asked to do so by a boyfriend or girlfriend. This sort of behavior is so perverted and narcissistic. Better find someone who will be true to you both (pet). Avoid people who do like animals or nature, in the end these sorry egocentric will make your life hell.
Good for him! He doesn't need such a selfish person by his side. Thanks god his beautiful dog helped him realise what kind of "person" he was dating. I hope he finds true love soon. He deserves it!

The US ad website Craigslist has its roots in 1995 when Craig Newmark created an email distribution list for his friends that featured local events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Another Craiglists Gem
no, reasons 3, 5, 6, 15, and the one you mentioned are absolute GEMS
Load More Replies...Think of all the ticket you can save for 50 bucks. It literally pay for itself.
A size 10 of 20 years ago may be closer to a present day size 2 that the seller realizes. But very few young women actually want to wear their mother's wedding dress.

Craigslist: Idiot Needed To Beat Vanilla Dome
I think the whiskey and donuts are the reason why you can't beat it.
To be fair, the Vanilla Dome is pretty hard...
Load More Replies...Not trying to beat Vanilla Dome while drinking whiskey might be a solution to your problem :)
I'll do it in under 90 seconds. No whisky, just have extra donuts.
OMG I know what "the fear" is... Happened to me when I got stuck in Twilight Princess where I had to escort a carriage and fend off attacks. I actually managed to get past that part after several weeks and weeks... Then I just stopped playing the game, lol.
Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver. I played that game over a decade ago and anytime I think of it I hear "Where are you going little soul?" Those words are going to haunt me to my grave.
Load More Replies...Super Mario Worle now is a really easy game... Try to get it 100% in Donkes Kong for the Switch (og also the Wii) and things really get ugly!

I accidentally added an extra 0 to my order of salt packets for the office. I now have a box of 5,000 tiny salt packets and a very frustrated boss.
Why in the first place you ordering 500 tiny salt packets!? How big is your office? 0_0
Load More Replies...I once ordered a bag of lavender for a project I was doing. I thought it would be a smallish bag. It was the size of a basketball. I had it in my closet for five years before I finally gave it to my aunt.
Since they keep reducing the text size, happens to me all the time. No matter, your friends and neighbors will love you!
One year later, it became a web-based service, expanding into other classified categories. By the dawn of the new millennium, Craigslist expanded into other US cities.
Anyone Need Reminder Tags?
10 points to whoever can guess the last 2 words, I reckon they are 3 digits so "Fat Hoe"?
If this crazy ad sticks in some absent-minded parent's brain at least one time and save another child from the kind of torture only a hot car can be, then this macabre listing is well worth it.

My husband almost looks like Darby and can do all of the things listed.
As of now, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and more than 700 cities. Wow. The first non-English languages that Craigslist supported were Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese — this happened in 2008.
A Friend Of Mine (Still Haven't Found Out Who) Posted This Craigslist Ad For My Birthday. 100 Points For Creativity, -100 Points For All The Chinchilla Texts And Voicemails
Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian are their own language group. No exceptions!
Yes, and they're in one group together basically because they're so weird they don't fit anywhere else within the European language group. (At least that's what I was taught.)
Load More Replies...I would get myself four chinchillas, God bless my Slavic mother-tongue!
i would learn a slavic language for four chinchillas!
Load More Replies...I’m upset I can’t get the full picture to load. I want to see the baby chinchillas! One minute later: I just looked them up online. OMG! When they’re babies they look like they’re all head with a little body! Cuties! And they’re so fluffy I want to die!
If he has 2 dozen chinchillas he will be sold out and have to buy more chinchillas in no time.
Found This Browsing My Local Craigslist
You need to combine the cheese and the caramel in one glorious mouthful. I was sceptical at first but holy hell that s**t is amazing.
Load More Replies...Yeah, butter-flavored popcorn is only good when hot and fresh.
Load More Replies...We would be a good match. I like the cheese but not the others. Just need a third partner to eat the butter.
Fun Fact: in German theaters the Standard popcorn is sweet, not salty like in the US.
Probably extra cheese or whatever trump uses to cover his face.
Load More Replies...I Was Looking For Used Laptops In Craigslist
I worked in an office that kept a typewriter around for when we needed to make corrections to signed forms and other documents. A young attorney asked me if I could show him how to turn it on, so I did. He sat down and then just looked at it—he couldn’t figure out how to put the paper in—and yet he somehow thought he was going to white-out some text to be replaced with other text? I took pity on him and did it for him in just a couple of minutes. Sometimes being old really pays off.
This really makes me feel old. I am only 30 (and feel like 23 or something) and I would still know how to use a typewriter.. Sometimes it is so weird that a younger generation doesn't know how things like this and (eg.) a rotary dial phone work. Or the link between a cassette tape and an old school pencil. I grew up in a generation where I have experienced both "old" "devices" and the new modern devices. Things change so quickly!
Load More Replies...But just like normal printer, the ink (ribbon) is over priced.
I hated having to take typing class in high school, but it has paid off.
I have very fast typing speed, and a high rate of accuracy, and I got my start in a typing class in high school! I was literally the first class of students to use computers on my college campus. I earned a little bit of money typing up peoples papers from their hand written rough drafts.
Load More Replies...Now, let’s talk numbers because they’re jaw-droppingly huge. Craigslist has over 20 billion (that’s right, that’s a ‘b’, not an ‘m’) page views each month (this one’s an ‘m’, though), and it had more than 49.4 million unique monthly visitors in the US alone.

This Guy On Craigslist Found A Lost "Dog"
A lady out my way took in a bobcat thinking it was somebody's stray. I've seen joke posts like this, but this lady was legit not from America and had brought a very unruly bobcat into her house in hopes of returning it to its humans. Some people very gently and kindly informed her that she had a wild animal, but the really terrible part is all the hate and b******t she got over it. Just because something is familiar to you, doesn't mean other people know it. Don't treat people badly for lacking information. Help, don't hate.
I would have thought this was fake, but recently someone called the police (in germany) and told them he just had an accident with a 'giant hamster', that was now lying dead near the road. It was a wild boar.
Amanda On Craigslist
I can only picture some guy drunk holding up a turtle being like why won’t you love me Amanda?!
I’ll gladly take the ball python! ‘Cept...they’re illegal where I live...
Load More Replies...I noticed that they only are selling 10 of the 16 reptiles and I support their choices.
Craigslist also has 80 million new classified ads each month. The numbers are so stunningly big that it makes perfect sense why there are so many ads that have us laughing out loud.

Whatever he asks for, I'll do it for double, and I'll half-a*s it, as well. But it'll be funnier.

He won't walk the line, don't call him Sue, and for heavens' sake, watch that ring of fire!
That crab is so cute, I could just eat her up. (It's female by the way, about 12 pounds.)
Free Bacon
It's good that husband is soon to be ex, poor guy had to live with such selfish person.
For John and Olga: the soon to be ex-husband did not buy this for himself. He bought it as an insulting prank on her. If I had 50 pounds of bacon delivered to my Jewish neighbor as a joke, should he just throw it in the garbage, or should he find a goya to eat it? (I would never do that to my neighbor. Just an example.)
Load More Replies...So...where does the NON vegan husband usually keeps the meat products?
Interesting how they're married and it's only her fridge. Maybe she's helping him dodge an eternal bullet by leaving.
there is no such thing as TOO MUCH BACON! (and that right there is funny, i don't care who ya are)

Craigslist Ad: "Free Vcr With Old School P***o Stuck Inside"
Otherwise I might have been offended. I can sound it out in my head, but if I see the written word, my head explodes. I'm very fragile.
Load More Replies...I just wonder what those blurred out words are ... the not knowing is KILLING ME!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing until I read the dang comments. It's supposed to say Porno.
Load More Replies...I Saw This A While Back, Maybe It Belongs Here
Is anyone else wondering if this guy also wants to buy Girl Scout cookies from an adult?
This is actually super helpful! If I'm buying a microwave for 15 bucks, I sure don't care what it looks like, but I do care how creepy the person is I'm picking it up from. I'd have to pass on this microwave.

It's So Stupid It Might Just Work
But what happens when this original person wants to find a job after graduation, while not actually knowing anything? Won't it be very obvious that they never attended uni? And the person doing this, will have a degree, but never be able to prove it/use it. That's a shame too.
someone with money to do this, it won't be hard for them to find a job, either parents company or people that want to make business with his parents.
Load More Replies...Do they get housing & meals included to? Otherwise, $10,000 a year isn't worth it.
It pays $40,000 a year with a $10,000 bonus after graduation. Your lack of reading comprehension skills disqualifies you for the position.

Where I live Craigslist exists but isn't very popular, as most people prefer Kijiji. Kijiji is pretty normal by comparison, but there was an ad for a "male stallion" recently.
