Craigslist is a virtual marketplace where people can find just about anything their heart desires (and some things they didn't even know existed). Need a vintage toaster that doubles as a disco ball? Craigslist has got you covered. Looking for a roommate who moonlights as a circus performer? You might be in luck.
The platform is full of the weird, the wacky, and the utterly unexpected, so we decided to scour the depths of two popular subreddits, r/bestofcraigslist and r/craigslist, and put together a collection of images that showcase its unique and unpredictable nature. From bizarre listings to hilariously awkward encounters, these screenshots are sure to bring a smile to your face and raise an eyebrow or two.

BBQ Dad Needed
From what I read at the time, their Dads lived several hours away. And it was 1 guy who did the post, then told the others later. They thought it was hilarious and ended up interviewing over 100 Dads. Settled on 3. Also, I believe they did end up inviting their Dads but the distance kept them from coming.
Load More Replies...I'd happily do this. I can bbq, I drink beer, I can use all the monikers, give life advice, swear like a trooper when necessary. Unfortunately I'm a Mum.

Fun With Scammers
I started reading and was like 'No!! It's a scam!!' then I saw eddyeatsdick and relaxed :)
I am not sure if this is the one with fake URL to scam page that steals your PayPal login or the one where they seem to send you the money but after you confirm and send the item, they take the payment back, so they won't pay anything and get the stuff and seller will have nothing.
Load More Replies...Seller send request for payment. Seller might think it's paid and send item. Scanner never pays. Or scammer does pay but then tells PayPal they never received the item and reversed the charges.

Elios is the closest I found to school pizza. But if anyone knows where to buy the sloopy joe mix hmu.
Load More Replies...Growing up crazy-poor, I was always jealous (and hungry) of the kids who got school lunch, especially this "pizza". Then I found out that after lunch each day, the lunch ladies had to throw away any leftovers; so I negotiated with them that I would stay after lunch rather than go to recess and help clean the cafeteria in exchange of pizza. It was glorious! A poor kid with a belly fulla pizza ...then the principal caught on, shut us down, and I went back to bread, American cheese, and mayo "sandwiches".
I called my school and emailed years ago about the pizza they had 😆 they couldn’t remember the brand they stocked while I was there - I really feel this guy
My school used to have pizza brought in fresh from the local pizza parlor and it was sooo good. Kids would line up out the door every Friday to get it. Then the school ran out of money to pay for that and now the pizza comes in a plastic bag, covered in so much condensation that it’s soaking wet, and smells like horse manure. I will never, i repeat NEVER, eat the soggy shít pizza. It’s gross as heII

That flag confuses me. Is "No more Bullsh..t" a pro trump flag or an anti trump flag? I'm really getting mixed messages.
It's pro Trump. My neighbor had one. She also had a flag that said "F**k Biden and f**k you for voting for him." I think they made her take her flags down.

There’s several different ads of similar nature offering everything from $15/hr to $1000 a day. Most are bogus, but the ones posted by this guy and by Corey Lewandowski’s team are legit.

Surrogacy can be completely private/civil. And once one becomes a biological parent, the legal ramifications and responsibilities are pretty much build in. As a matter of fact, the vast majority or surrogacies are friends and loved ones carrying a baby for couple for whom the woman can’t or shouldn’t carry or IVF isn’t possible. My SIL carried for her sister & her husband. No lawyers, no legal ramifications.
Load More Replies...He’s offering compensation to either co-parent with woman or, ideally, take sole custody with a private surrogate arraignment. Help me understand the issue. Genuinely don’t get how that’s a problem. Him wanting his genetics passed down to his child os no different than all the other narcissistic breeder couples who make babies rather than adopt. It’s not far off from the many women who want to raise a child alone and never notify the father, my sister and friend being two. He prefers a surrogate which he’ll compensate for. And while single males can adopt, the loops are great. Single men who try to surrogate have much less success. And tho it’s legal in some places, it’s not in MOST. Including 32 of the 50 US states. My husband & I adopted and knew the mother. It took us twice as much time, effort, cost as a straight couple. And it came with utter suspicion of our motivations. Our friend had cancer & we promised to raise her unborn child as our own if she died.
How much compensation? For how much of "the time"? During the making of the baby? Or while pregnant? Or the entire 18 years until the baby is a grown adult person?
Being he wants sole or shared custody, the law would automatically apply to him as a parent.
Load More Replies...Dear God, what would happen to that child once lost to either of them? 😳😲

It’s not even about any specific ideology or philosophy. It’s just an “us against them” thing where any group could be considered the enemy. They’re not standing up for a republic, democracy or conservative or liberal ideology. They’re simply hating their construct of the “other” (POC) to have someone to hate. And if they were true patriots or even nationalists, they wouldn’t idol/hero worship a figurehead. It’s a cult of personality AND hatred.
