I've used Craigslist a few times in the past but I try to only use it sparingly when I'm getting rid of shit that is too big or heavy to shove into my trash bin. I found out quickly that you can get rid of anything on Craigslist if you post it for free. So far, I've gotten rid of a chest freezer that didn't work, some old rotten windows, half of a yard of dirty lava rock, and a bag of used syringes - that last one was just to see if someone would take them. Its always a treat to see what kind of toothless hill people come out of the woodwork for free shit. In fact, if you're looking for a website that will increase your chances of being raped and stabbed in a parking lot, Craigslist is for you. There have been few non-Walmart related times that I've been more certain that our civilization is destined to collapse in a pestilent pit of food stamp fueled obesity, laziness, greed, and Honey Boo Boo-esque trash as the story I'm about to tell you.
You see, the wife and I were moving up in the world and we had just purchased a new bed frame. That meant that we were fixing to get rid of our old one. Here is the original post:
Now I thought that was pretty simple and straight forward, that is until this email chain happened:
Notice that my original post doesn't say anything about selling a bed. This is like trying to buy a belt and asking why the belt doesn't come with a pair of pants. Those people that know me, including the local police department, know that I've got a bit of a short temper. So when I get asked stupid questions like the one that Vonte asked, sometimes I respond by being a smart ass. Which is exactly what I did here.
And for some reason, Vonte never responded back.
