Bizarre Craigslist stuff

[Spoof]

I know the south is a strange place, but some things just make me wonder how these people have survived to reproduce.

We have wild hogs all over here - but to catch, keep and feed not one but TWO for a year. Yikes people.

And then the other reality - there is a market for wild, nasty, grain-fed boars.

Anyone else have an amusing head scratcher to share?

 

[LovinHedgies]

Whoa - that's crazy!

 

[minrex]

Well, to be fair, we don't KNOW they're hogs; after all, he repeatedly called them "bores", not "boars". I'm not sure what a "wild bore" is, aside from being an oxymoron.

Yeah, the OP could be talking about in-laws or something... Spouse's overweight and obnoxiously boring brothers came for a visit and just won't leave. They just keep eating corn; the plumbing is all backed up... And, instead of helping, they insist on setting up the screen and slide projector every frikkin' night while gnoshing on more corn and bread! How much more can a person take? They gotta go! And Craigslist is the way.

Here's today's. It's not really funny, but quite a work of art considering there are no spelling mistakes based on local accent, grammar and reverse-sentance-structure.

The people here really do talk like that! Sometimes local logic is extremely hard to follow in a working environment.

My favorite is the alteria motive. Southern style.

hoo boy, did i ever have to squint to read the first paragraph on that, lol. gave up after that, my eyes were getting rather disgruntled. any way you can make it bigger?

 

[Spoof]

Wow that turned out small!

In Text below**************

There is a right that an owner has when it comes to whom they allow to adopt their animal. When you contact someone and they do not respond to you that is their right not to respond and they have their reasons. Calling their phone and leaving nasty messages will not make them call you to adopt their pet.



Appropriate conduct when calling someone should have been something that was learned from a young age. Who are you to have an attitude with me when you call and I hang up on you. I did not respond to your numerous text messages that was sent at 11 an 12 p.m. the first night you contacted me because that is an inappropriate hourto make contact with a total stranger for a matter that was not an emergency. Then you called the next day leaving me a rude message because I had not responded to you previously. Today you call me and when I saw your familiar number and asked your name I confirmed it was yet again and you tried to lie and say no. So I simply explained to you I was not considering you for the prospective new owner and hung up. In return I got a very nasty VM left by you because I was not considering you. Well fact of the matter is< I choose whom will adopt my dog, not you. And if you thought your obnoxious and rude, vulgar messages were going to score you brownie points you can think again. Then after I called you to explain that I want no contact from you and explain yet again that you were not being considered you had someone else call my phone and in the back ground you were telling them what to say.

This is considered harassment and has been turned over to the proper authorities.


Obsessions like you have for getting your way is not mentally healthy and shows that one who has an obsesion with something so strong as you do with my dog has one of two things; either a mental instability or alteria motive.

 

[ChinnyMom]

is it strange that i have no trouble reading that, even though it contains all the grammatical and structural errors you noted Spoof? lol! maybe i'm a displaced southern belle up here in igloo land....... :rofl:

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

I especially like the use of the word "alterior" for "ulterior". :thumbsup: Why can't people spell correctly???

 

[Spoof]

Too bad he isn't selling separately, wouldn't mind a hen. Still lmao though!

****************************

Wife thinking she would make big money raising marans for eggs and selling
on e-bay etc. (the dreamer!!!). Well she left me for the young dude at the
feed store. Hope he can support her habits. LOL. Told me to take care of here
marans till she comes back next week get her stuff. So I'm doing what she asked
I want them gone by Sunday night. I have no idea what they are worth but see on
eBay eggs for 50-70 dollars a doz. ( she is insane ) did she pay that much?
Oooohhh that poor young man she roped!!! He's in for the ride of his life...
Back to the chickens that lay the golden eggs...... 16 hens and 2 roosters, she told
me something about the type or blood type is Davis, 2. Metal nest racks, cages,
feed, and 4 pens with no bottoms. A big wood box to hatch eggs ( says GQF on door ),
and a metal cage for the babies. Says (GQF Brooder) has light and heater inside.
This is a package deal so come with a trailer and cash only. All or nothing....
God only knows how much she payed for all this stuff. All I want is $ 500 (cash)
my payment is her face when she gets back to get here stuff next week. Leaving
for a meeting this morning will be in at 9pm, leave your phone number and name
in a email I'll call back after 8am Sunday morning. You must pick up before dark.
Also have a 2010 Corvette for sell, she won't need that either...
Hey men, if your wife goes to the feedstore every day you might want to watch out!!!!!!

 

[momenteller]

Okay, prolly not that funny to the husband, but pretty funny to me. The wife had that coming to her! Good thing my hubby hasn't seen this and that he's not the suspicious type...I am at the feed store a lot!

 

[addictedtochins]

Property has a total of 11, 8861 sq ft, the building surface is 3,025 with an 8,838 sq ftgrave backyard
I think they meant gravel, not many people want a large graveyard. LOL

[Spoof]

lol, the sad thing is around here there are graveyards on property. Like people die and they plunk the tomb right there in the front or back yard. I pass a couple every day on the way to work. I mean, they can't bury people here, so there's a complete body encased in cement there in the yard. Eeew.

 

[Spoof]

Still chuckling about this one...

XPS HOME TOWER WITH FLAT SCREEN, every thing works, hard drive is missing was removed by police, $650.00 takes it all, any questions call 337-351-7*** if no answer leave name and number

Got the backstory on the original Marans one when I went to visit a breeder in N. Louisiana. Turns out it was a local Lafayette breeder fishing for the emails/numbers of the local cheats/etc to cross check with the breeder I visited's list to see who was still out there. Too funny, and shows just how small of a world it is.

 

[Envy]

As far as the wild hog issue, I have seen a LOT of posts here in Arkansas for them, apparently people want wild pigs??

And the one with the computer is HILARIOUS!!

 

[Spoof]

This struck me as funny, perhaps not because of the content, but the implications of what would make a tightwad cajun give anything away for free. :thinking2:

I'm sure whatever the reason is amusing to anyone other than the original owner.

 

[starleomach]

Maybe I should check CL more often just for amusement

 

[ErinsChins]

Thought this was funny

 

[smhufflepuff]

Yeah, that is surprising in TN. Probably more run of the mill in northern Canada...

Lost your teeth? They're poolside

Did you happen to lose your teeth while cavorting in the pool, or perhaps you took them out and put them poolside as you did laps and forgot to pick them back up when you were done? Well, they're waiting for you next to the POOL'S STAIRS where you DISGUSTINGLY LEFT THEM (unless you dropped them into the pool and some kids found them, thinking they were treasure...boy were they wrong).

Since there are so many old people in this complex, I have no idea whose dentures these are...I'm not about to touch them except to kick them out onto the street (or maybe back into the deep end of the pool) if they're still there tomorrow. GROSS. GROSS. GROSS. Come on people, this is just N-A-S-T-Y.
