I was so mad until I read the last paragraph. Now I'm laughing. 🤣

The Things You Find On Craigslist
The US ad website Craigslist has its roots in 1995 when Craig Newmark created an email distribution list for his friends that featured local events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Craigslist: Idiot Needed To Beat Vanilla Dome
Nagawa (Cofa) Kishiki 5 years ago
I think the whiskey and donuts are the reason why you can't beat it.

Free Almonds!
One year later, it became a web-based service, expanding into other classified categories. By the dawn of the new millennium, Craigslist expanded into other US cities.

Craigslist Ad Looking For Replacement Friend
As of now, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and more than 700 cities. Wow. The first non-English languages that Craigslist supported were Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese — this happened in 2008.

I Was Looking For Used Laptops In Craigslist
Mary Rose Kent 5 years ago
I worked in an office that kept a typewriter around for when we needed to make corrections to signed forms and other documents. A young attorney asked me if I could show him how to turn it on, so I did. He sat down and then just looked at it—he couldn’t figure out how to put the paper in—and yet he somehow thought he was going to white-out some text to be replaced with other text? I took pity on him and did it for him in just a couple of minutes. Sometimes being old really pays off.
Now, let’s talk numbers because they’re jaw-droppingly huge. Craigslist has over 20 billion (that’s right, that’s a ‘b’, not an ‘m’) page views each month (this one’s an ‘m’, though), and it had more than 49.4 million unique monthly visitors in the US alone.

Amanda On Craigslist
TheExtremeSmell 5 years ago
I can only picture some guy drunk holding up a turtle being like why won’t you love me Amanda?!
Craigslist also has 80 million new classified ads each month. The numbers are so stunningly big that it makes perfect sense why there are so many ads that have us laughing out loud.

Craigslist Ad: "Free Vcr With Old School P***o Stuck Inside"
Add New Image
What do you think ?
R.s. Potter 5 years ago
Where I live Craigslist exists but isn't very popular, as most people prefer Kijiji. Kijiji is pretty normal by comparison, but there was an ad for a "male stallion" recently. Good thing they clarified that, someone looking for a female stallion might have bought him by mistake. temp1-5d7a...c-jpeg.jpg

This is one of my favorite pass times. I spend hours looking for funny stuff on Craig's list. The free section is one of the best!

These were very funny! Unfortunately, my Ex-husband used Craigslist to write to women while I was at work. I love the thought of Craigslist, but he should have been banned.
