Craigslist: Missed Connections

Thursday, December 11, 2008 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
So, I flew home last night and my bestest picked me up. I was starving and we went to The Happy Ending Bar, in Hollywood, for some food. They have great food and when you are hungry and aren't thinking straight, the best thing is the easiest. We are sitting at the bar and chatting it up with these cute boys next to us and it goes back and forth for awhile. As they get up to leave, in the back of my mind im thinking give him your number-damn he's freaking adorable, I'm pretty much speechless and he stalls a little asking what we were doing that night etc. They say good-bye and proceed to walk to the door. Misa looks at me and says say something to him and Im just speechless with my ass glued to the seat feeling like a school girl with a crush. When she finally convinced me 2 minutes later I walked outside to the front to see if there was a chance they were still there, no luck :( I walk back to the bar and shook my head to Misa and told her how lame I was....

The best part of the story we get back to my place and a hours later Misa was on Craigslist looking for stuff and she said we should post an ad on Craigslist under Missed Connections and how funny that would be so we did:

The whole concept is pretty cool and if you haven't checked it out for a good chuckle you should. Craigslist is great.

Thought I'd end this with something else for you to laugh at and I think somewhat rings true:

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever Is a woman's way of saying F__ K YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true
