I wonder if craigslist missed connections ever works

[apac]

It has recently joined my list of websites to look at when I'm bored at work. I must run across and laugh at listings like these at least 10 times a day.

couple weeks ago at the safeway gas station you waived at me
our eyes met a few times as i though over and over how id never be with a woman beloved patriot you then i got in my work van as you drove around the gas station, then you waived at me and drove away. i thought you were in a geep cherokee but my friend at work said you were in a new dodge durango. i just wish you would find me. i thought you were so beautiful

Doubt it. The other person would have to be creepy enough to think they would find that person on craigslist.

a few months ago I actually posted on there, something I thought I'd never do. I saw a female at Portillos having lunch. She was with a dude so I didn't approach her. But later that day I wished I had I started to think maybe he was a co-worker, frind or neighbor. On the .00001% she actually would read it I tried. lol just as I figured no response. I thought it was worth a shot, I'm sure it works for some people. There are times I will read shit on CL due to bordom, I'd imagine others do too. So maybe that other person will find it by accident, who knows?

You were the blonde in the pink sweater and jeans in the bar last night. I was the tall, dark (blue shirt) guy behind you with his 3 friends. Your smile stuck with me long after i left. i know you were on a date but can we meet for a drink sometime?

LOL

Ask her when the dude goes to the bathroom, drop your # on her lap and walk past (as if she'll throw it away to appease a date), but christ, don't run home to craigslist!

I think if I read those things I'd die from the mental strain.

I always thought those were secret codes for spy types and secret agents to communicate with each other.

Fixed.

I just can't understand how some one could spell so poorly, yet still manage to pay bills or turn on a computer. Are these real? I mean, these aren't complicated words here...cite? sight? weigh for way? WTF...vary? How?

Some of the hardest workers I've ever met have been totally dumb school wise. The guy that wrote that might well be the best brick layer in his entire state. While unable to spell well could still be making major bucks. Hell Fantasia has a platinum album and admitted she was basically 99% illerterate.

Dunno if it ever works, but I do read it occasionally for giggles when I'm at work. Although, I shared this enjoyable experience with a buddy of mine and he figured "Hey, the m4m would be even funnier." Then we found roughly 2 posts a week about men checking out/trying to hook up with other men in the locker room at the gym we go to. ... things I really didn't need to know about. Not that it really matters I suppose.
