• Who offered “free rent with a condition…” and what was the condition?
How did someone try to give away “free stress?”
Here are 15 of the most bizarre Craigslist ads ever.
15 – Free Bacon • For sure, the line “20 pounds of FREE
BACON” is a strong opening pitch for any ad.
• But who would ever try to get RID of 20 pounds of free bacon?
Apparently, a vegan man whose wife has a great sense of humor – she’s the one who bought
it and put it in his fridge.
• The ad says that he needs the bacon gone TODAY, and that he doesn’t want to waste
it, but he will if he has to.
14 – Pokemon Go Trainer • When Pokemon Go came out in the summer
of 2016, millions of people played to see what kinds of Pokemon they could find out
in the wild.
• But maybe you didn’t actually WANT to play the game.
Maybe you wanted to HIRE somebody to play the game for you, so they can have all the
fun, AND your money.
• If that’s something you were interested in, this girl offered to enjoy the game on
your behalf.
13 – Free Sailboat • Would you like a free sailboat?
From Craigslist?
• Probably not, because why would somebody give away a boat for free if it’s not going
to sink immediately?
• Apparently, it’s because it was their grandfather’s sailboat, and he couldn’t
take it out on the water…
so he had a crane drop it into the family swimming pool.
• So if you want the boat – you have to remove it from the pool without damaging the
wall or landscaping.
Your move.
12 – Eclipse Conception • This listing is a joke, whether the original
poster realizes it or not.
• A European man living in Oregon who claimed to have “strong, pure” heritage, was looking
for a “worthy female with strong genes” to conceive a child during the 2017 solar
eclipse.
• Or, as he called it, the “next level of human evolution.”
• The lucky woman was told she would be creating a new universe with her love making.
And also, she needed to like cats.
11 – Canadian Lessons • After the 2016 American Presidential election,
the Canadian immigration website crashed.
• With the sudden spike in interest about Canadian citizenship, an ad for “Canadian
lessons” appeared on Craigslist.
• Some of the lessons included information about poutine, milk that comes in bags, and
the difference between regular syrup and real maple syrup.
10 – BEER SEEDS • The ad SAYS “beer seeds.”
• What it SHOWS is a collection of metal tabs off of beer cans.
• And it shows a convincing picture – tabs being stuck in the ground, and then beer cans
“growing” from the seeds.
• If you want to try to “grow your own beer garden,” like the ad says, you can
buy the tabs at only 10 for 5 dollars.
Alternatively, you can buy actual beer at a similar price.
9 – Cards Against Humanity CEO • In January of 2017, Cards Against Humanity
posted an oddly specific request for a new CEO.
• It looked more-or-less like a real job posting, except for requirements like, “Minimum
eight years experience President of the United States of America or equivalent nation.”
• It also says they strongly prefer “the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review,”
and a “recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.”
It kind of sounds like they have someone specific in mind?
8 – Dwarf canoe trip • Apparently somebody decided to go on a
canoe trip with their friends, which isn’t weird at all.
• But apparently they also made some sort of joke about bringing a little person along
with them.
And somebody took it seriously, and put out an ad called “Dwarf needed for Canoe Trip.”
• They offered 500 dollars to go on the trip, drink free booze, and “have a fun
day full of crushing.”
7 – Looking for work…
• Craigslist is a popular place to look for work, and for good reason.
But this guy…
well, at least he went for it.
• In what appears much more like an ad begging for sex, this guy proudly says, “I’m looking
to work in porn, any job will do but no gay scenes.”
• You have to admire his moxie… even if you’re grossed out by literally everything
else.
6 – “Free” rent… with condition • There is no end to the ads from men offering
women free rent in return for occasional sexual favors.
• This guy, though, swears that’s not what’s going on.
He just wants a young woman to live with him… so he can massage her feet when she’s okay
with it.
• That doesn’t sound too bad…
as long as you believe him when he specifically says, “I’m not a pervert.”
5 – “Some things are almost done” • In a lot of places, 600 dollars a month
is enough money to rent yourself an entire apartment and still buy a couple of pizzas.
• In Los Angeles, though, 600 dollars gets you a dungeon in a half-finished home.
There’s a toilet in the living room, a hole in the shower, and no kitchen…
• But according to poster, it’s “livable for now,” and they’re just trying to “help
people in need.”
4 – SDCC Missed Connection • Missed connections on Craigslist are always
an odd bunch – reading the contents of a nameless encounter between random people in
a random place is as entertaining as it is bizarre.
• But none are perhaps as bizarre as this one.
Apparently a guy in a horse costume made out with a guy in a chicken mask in a public restroom
at San Diego Comic Con.
• The guy in the horse costume apparently had a pretty good time, so he offered to do
it again the following year, only this time dressed as a llama.
3 – “Some Kinda Magic Rock” • This poor person clearly has no idea what
he has.
• It’s something shaped like a rock, with an electrical cord hanging from it.
• They speculates that it might be a small heater for a lizard tank or something, but
if someone actually knows what it is and wants it, it’s available for 0 dollars firm, no
haggling. 2 – Anonymous Impregnator
• “This is a very unique opportunity,” says one of literally millions of men who
would totally be interested in having sex with a woman and then leaving.
• This guy appears to believe there is a market for woman who want to get pregnant
by a stranger, and then have no help raising the child.
• He actually lists it as a selling point - he won’t be involved, and you don’t
even have to worry about sharing names, numbers, or personal information!
• Step right up, ladies.
This service is FREE.
1 – Free Stress • This ad offers you stress, free of charge,
no questions asked.
• Actually, it’s this bundle of indistinct, badly tangled wires.
And yeah, if stress had a physical form, this is probably pretty close to what it would
be.
