I’ve seen blogs dedicated to funny listings on Craigslist, and at the risk of degenerating into one of these blogs, I’ve found a few missed connections that amused me. I won’t specify which city they’re from, except to say that they are not from Bloomington.
Amusing:
were you on #10 bus around 5:30 today? – m4m – 26

We both got on in front of the capitol building and you got off at grant. Im pretty sure we made eye contact a few times. Maybe I was just hoping! Anyhow… you are very hot! If you see this let me know. Hope to hear from you!
Creepy:

I know the guy of whom you speak. I am on the bus before he gets on – it is a very pleasant ending to my day to see him. I watched you both get on this evening and indeed I know you were watching him. I have quietly and respectfully admired him from a far for quite a long time. I have found he is shy, lacks confidence or self-esteem is low. Never the less it is my pleasure to see him each day.
Almost Too Specific:
Mcdonalds @ Colfax and Quebec drive thru – m4m – 22

I promise not to most any more—for at least a few weeks.
My guess is that the 2nd one is someone making fun of the original post.
I just looked at my own city’s missed connections – holy cow, what a soap opera – sort of like a public confessional!
The third one is stalker-material. Ewh!
Shopping the listings in Craigslist Denver again? 😉
Yes, those things are a bit like Taxicab Confessions, minus the cab.
Looks can be deceiving. I edited the specifics of all posts in order to confuse matters.
