{only the lonely...}

people are weirdos

i don't know if i can emphasize this point enough

have you ever been on craigslist?

of course you have, you've probably sold your couch there or looked for a job, normal sorts of things.

or maybe you went scamming for chicks/dudes... if so and you read my blog please stop. you are a weirdo. and creepy.

i'm talking about "missed connections" on craigslist. a little feature where people can post their missed moment and desires to reconnect. a feature which i never knew existed until i read about it on someone else's blog. i can't even talk about how entertaining/disturbing these posts are. you need to look for yourself.

of course i will include a few excerpts:

here's one from Salt Lake:
title: PREGNANT TELLER AT THE CHASE BANK NEAR FOOTHILL VILLAGE
noticed you weren't wearing a ring, not sure if you are married or not but I thought you were beautiful and would love to get to know you.

uh dude, when you start scamming on pregnant chicks at the bank i think you've pretty much hit rock bottom. p.s. many pregnant women don't wear their rings thanks to all the swelling. even if she isn't married {gasp!} the fact that you "want to get to know her" is disturbing. p.p.s. stay away from babies r us and any or all OBGYN offices. p.p.p.s. EW.

my next favorite:
title: CUTE DRAPER TEMPLE ELEVATOR HOSTESS
I was taking the tour of the Draper temple, it was about 8pm-9pm on 1/16. You were in one of the elevators, I was in yellow shirt, black pants, with my friend who was in crutches. You warned me of the elevator door. You were in white blouse, black skirt, and had a lot of bracelets on your right wrist? Anyways, we kept eye contact and I thought you were really cute, but didn't want to take away from the Spirit. If you or a friend reads this, I'd like to talk to meet you, maybe I'll just have to take another tour.
Here's to hope,
Chad

dear chad,
being a douchebag detracts from the "spirit" so not hitting on her at that moment isn't going to earn you any points in heaven. don't get me wrong, it would have made for an AWESOME "how we met story". or not. you're a tool.

nextly:
title: MINI VAN HOTTIE CHECKING MY FRIEND AND I OUT BLACK HATS SILVER CAR (OREM CENTER ST TO PG EXIT)

You were checking my friend out in your mini van. We were both wearing black hats. You even licked your lips and that almost made my friend crash. We drove next to you in a silver car from orem center street till you got off the pleasant grove exit. It was too late at that point, dang we were both sad.

i need to make note that his was posted on both the Salt Lake and Provo craigslist. desperation... looks like 2 cornholes in a silver car.

there are so many more on there. i've honestly have spent the last 2 hours browsing, laughing and throwing up in my mouth a little. some people are really gross. and weird. and really just pathetic.

thanks for the entertainment craigslist.
ridiculous.
