Save the Drama for your Mama

Some of my favorite posts in the free listings are not about free things at all. You would think the premise of people giving away free stuff would lead to happy interactions, but some people are all about the drama. Some of these listings are one sided, the original post they are reacting to is gone, which makes them even more interesting. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the soap opera...

Calling a post a SCAM because the person does not respond is pretty common, and...pretty annoying... This is a block of posts related to a shed...

Wow- relax, the person just posted in a couple of hours ago....perhaps they are not glued to their email and have things to do or maybe ... a job.

There's a lot of anal people on craigslist who will flag the hell out of any post that is remotely humorous, or rip into the original poster like sharks. It's nice when folks defend these original posters' attempts at humor.

To the person ripping on the original poster... oh my God! You are the one that needs to get a life! When I read the original post, it brought a smile to my face. I found the listing to be humorous and perfectly worded, and I managed to take it in the fun spirit in which it was intended. Thankfully, none of the (misguided) indignant outrage that seems to be rotting you from within seeped into me. How can you be so uptight and live in Boone?

I don't even know what the original post for this was about, but this response is gold...

A quick Google of the provided phone number shows that it actually belongs to Nicole's Escorts.

Either they're very friendly over there, or someone didn't get the handjob he expected and decided to flood their office with calls.

Oh shit, they told you!

I truly find your post offensive as there are thousands of women that cannot afford this type of exam. I am one of them...I am also dealing with the fact that my mother was diagnosed yesterday with an aggressive form of breast cancer. IF YOU REALY WANT TO "GIVE" SOME ONE A FREE EXAM visit www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2..and click on the pink box and you can really help somebody in need. Oh and by the way I know this was probably mean as a joke...but its not funny.
