Craigslist, We Need to Talk

Week 2, Day 2 


What do savvy unemployed girls do when they are moving? They sell furniture they don't need anymore on Craigslist. What does this mean for me as a savvy unemployed girl? It means I have to interact with all the Craigslist people, who in my mind are always out to kill me.


I know this sounds ridiculous. For I myself am a Craigslist person, I mean who doesn't love a great find at an equally great price. My problem is I believe people, both buying or selling on Craigslist, are planning on killing me when they come to retrieve their chair or I go to their house. I don't know why I find myself so special. I mean really I doubt anybody is going to kill me, but you never know.


In addition,  to the "murders" on Craigslist, lately I have expereinced a lot of chatty Craiglisters. Both today when I sold our barbecue, and last week when I sold a little side table. Both buyers wanted to discuss my last name, my family origin, Thelonious (my pug) and the weather. I'm sorry Craigslisters, but you already make me nervous I don't want to chat with you too. I didn't put a personal ad for a friend up, I put an ad for a barbecue and various furniture pieces. I might hang out with just myself and the dog all day because everyone's at work, but that is no reason to be overly chatty with me.


Until next time....
